59 Caitlyn (2/2)

*Two years ago in the school*

Eight year old Caitlyn is focussing on what her teacher is teaching. It is the math class, her least favourite subject. But she is still trying to focus her every brain cell in learning the lesson.

As her teacher enters into subtraction of two big numbers. Ears of Caitlyn perks up upon hearing noises from the ground which is on her left.

She is sitting next to a window on her left, so she casually lifts her head up stretching her neck, to have a look at the noises appearing from outside.

It is Physical Development class (PD in short), for the kids from other classes. Her gaze first lands on a couple of kids playing tag with chuckles and laughter. The faces of those kids are lighting up with excitement and happiness . Shifting her gaze she finds two people running quickly from point A to point B to see which one of them is first to reach point B starting from A.

”Ahh! how lucky right Kay? They get to play in PD class. And we are stuck in Math and this is a hell of a boring class.” Another girl sitting behind Caitlyn talks to her while sulking on their current situation.

”Hehe, yes. I wonder who discovered this math, I want to go back in time to kill them so we won't have this math class.” Caitlyn replies back with a mischievous smirk towards her friend.

”Hahaha yes girl! You read my mind. Ahh I know you all are playing, why are you all so loud.” Saying, the girl looks at the same couple of guys that Caitlyn is watching.

”Well? Are you crushing over those big guys? One of them is a noble like you too.” She says.

”Ah no! The game they are playing is nice! Competing to see who wins in a running race. I like competitive games. I'm cheering for the noble though, since he is smaller than the other one.” Caitlyn replies while pointing to Roy.

”Ah! That is Roy, you don't know his name? I thought being Nobles, you guys know each other.”

”What? No, I just saw him a couple of times. When I visited my dad's work.”

”Ahhhh the other one's name is Nicholas by the way, he is the son of the chief guard.*

”Oh! No wonder he is bigger than all the kids in his class haha.” Both Caitlyn and her friend laughs together.

”Oh! Wait! There are three of them!” Her friend says in a surprise.

”What? Oh yes! How come I never noticed him all the time we were watching?” Caitlyn asks while looking at little Faust.

”Oh probably cause he is too little and thin to be noticed right?” Her friend laughs while saying.

”Hmm.. you must be right.” Caitlyn stares at Faust, kind of being impressed by him.

”I changed! I'm rooting for that little guy now!” Caitlyn says in an excited tone.

”Oh you always cheer the weak looking ones. Weirdo!”

”No! I like it when weaker ones, try their best and win. Strong guys already have an advantage, so I root for weaker ones.”

”I think his name is Faust.”

”Faust, huh…?”

”Ahhh ahhhh ahhhh I-I will win this time for sureeeee.” Faust yells at Nick and Roy while trying to catch up to them.

*”He is trying hard.”* Caitlyn muddles in her head, concluding from his expressions and efforts.
