Snippet #1699492

Ellie skipped after her friends, giving all the populars irritable glances on their way out. She did a mini-twirl once outside, enjoying the cool fall breeze and then eventually flopped on her belly next to Eli on the grass, pulling out her gummy bears and skittles again before proceeding to eat them. She liked the cold weather. She figured it had something to do with her being from Finland, which happened to be in the arctic circle. She remembered as a kid, running around in the snow and catching snow flakes on her tongue. Some Finnish people hated the cold, since they were in it so often, which she didn't quite understand - probably because she was here now and not there. Ellie kind of wanted to return to Finland for a small trip sometime, but right now she was busy right now with school and didn't think they'd have time anytime soon, since her dad was so busy with work as well.

"They feel entitled to pick on us because we aren't made out of the same mold, like a barbie doll." Ellie shrugged, popping another sour powder coated gummy bear into her mouth. "I wish we could show them that we're people too, but..." She sighed. Good luck. She thought. Not a single one of them ever seemed to show signs of humanity. "I don't think it matters to them. I think the world will come to an end before they ever recognize us as the same species." She told her friends.
