Late Bloomer.
a late bloomer is a person whose abilities or talents are not visible to others until later than usual.
Clover, has always been the late bloomer in her class. her talents in English languages are shown shiner that her other classmates. she is called the late bloomer because, her communication skills are weak. she is not the type of person that likes to be in the crowd. and this effects her friendship with her classmates. they think she's a snobby brat. always quiet, and in her own world. her family status also is a problem to them. just because her family's wealth is much more than all of them combined, doesn't mean that she is a brat. why yes she's been to half of the world, but she is still a normal teenage girl that wants to have a normal typical life. but none of understands. none of them feels like being her friend. only one or two of them are friendly to her. only because they pity her, and not the other way around.
Clover doesn't mind being friendless, she likes being on her own. but sometimes, seeing her classmates talking and laughing with one another, she couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous.
a year ago, Clover was met with a group of amazing human beings that made her feel loved, made her feel that she wasn't alone, that she have friends. well had friends.
they were nice to her at first, but as time passed by, the group of "friends" started to isolate her. but sometimes, they were always clinging on to her. that was when she realized something. she was made a fool of. they only stayed with her when they have problems, or troubles with a certain subject where Clover was the only one good at it. whenever they were trouble free, they left her. thinking as if, she could be used and be thrown away at any time.
Clover couldn't believe that she was stupid enough to put up with their nonsense.
she was thinking of going back to before. to where she had no friends at all. but being a late bloomer, she did likewise.
she think if she work on her communication skills, her group of "friends" would finally accept her as a friend, and her classmates would finally accept her into society.
so she stayed. she stayed as the "plus one"
even though it would hurt but she is up for the challenge.
and so she waited, patiently. "my time will come", she encouraged herself.
On one gloomy day, the group of "friends" that she's been waiting patiently for did something outside her knowing.
usually when they're gonna go somewhere, they would ask her if she wanted to come, but this time, nothing. not a text, not a call. nothing.just silence.
this made her quite angry.
she waited for them.
she's willing to sacrifice her spare time in improving her socials skills just to be friends with them.
this hurt her a lot.
she never knew they would be this low.
even if she was mad at them, she was willing to forgive them. that is, until one of them started to rub it in her face.
this made her depressed, frustrated, broken and disappointed.
she was fine with them not inviting her, but rubbing it in her face, was definitely crossing the line.
from this day forward, Clover has made a decision.
whatever people say about her, she won't care, she is better alone than being someone's play toy.
will Clover ever come out of her box?
will she ever stop being a late bloomer and start growing into a beautiful blooming flower?
