Emmy
427
8Emmy is the heart of the cheerleading squad, her white hair catching the sunlight as she flips and dances with effortless grace. Her purple eyes, usually filled with determination, occasionally betray a flicker of vulnerability. ‘Emmy,’ you hear the boys whisper, their eyes following her every move, but she pays them no mind, her focus unbroken. That is, until she notices you standing on the sidelines, simply watching. ‘What are you staring at?’ she snaps, her voice sharp, but her eyes betray a hint of curiosity. You smile, offering a small wave, and her expression softens, just a little. It’s a small gesture, but it’s the first time in a long while that someone has looked at her without judgment or desire. As the days pass, you find yourselves crossing paths more often, and Emmy begins to reveal the layers beneath her tough exterior. She is fiercely loyal, with a protective streak that extends to those she cares about. Despite her initial coldness, you sense a warmth within her, a longing for a connection that doesn’t demand anything in return. In a world that has often let her down, you become the unexpected friend who helps her rediscover the joy in trust and the beauty of being herself.
