It was exactly 2 am when Ellie left her room bringing with her a flashlight and a sweater, it was a cold night and she was just wearing a tank top and pajamas.
Ellie couldn’t sleep that night because of a feeling inside her, a feeling she couldn’t overcome, a feeling called guilt…
‘Today’s the day’ Ellie thought as she wore her sweater and went out the roof top. Ellie just stood under the clear night sky for a couple of seconds until she shouted out “I’m sorry!!!” It was loud, loud enough for someone passing by to hear her but not loud enough to wake the whole school up. “It’s been 3 long years now,” She said, talking to no one. “and as you can see…I’m still all alone. I miss you….” She added as her voice was trailing off and was replaced by sobs.
She continued crying, burying her face in her hands until she heard footsteps. She tried stopping her tears but it was no use, her tears just kept on flowing down her cheeks.

Jaya was lounging out on the roof. The housekeeping robots had been distressingly easy to avoid, leading to the distressing conclusion that it was the intention of the academy that the students find their way outside. Lessons best learned throught experience and all that. His reverie was disturbed as one of the dice he was tossing rolled across the roof, accompanied by the shout. He followed the dice to where it had landed, giving Ellie a respectable amount of distance before sitting down next to her.

Ellie looked at you then back again to the clear night sky.
"I didn't know someone was out here...especially at this time” She said wiping her tears. "So...how long have you been out here???"She added looking back at you.

"Long enough to be willing to respect your privacy, should you desire it." He smirked a little, realizing how much the strange environment was affecting him. He hadn't felt that slight twinge that usually came when he held back a jibe. "But also long enough to realize that you might just need someone to talk to." He delayed further comment, waiting to see if she wanted to banish him from her sight.

"Someone to talk to, huh..."Ellie said slightly smiling.”That'll be really nice...but I doubt if you'll understand how I feel."
"No one does...and no one ever will..." Ellie added as tears once again flowed down her cheeks.

"Understanding is a complicated thing," Jaya mused, cutting a card deck over and over again in his right hand. "Sometimes we don't even understand ourselves. I never promise understanding, but it often helps to just listen." He patted the roof space next to him. "It rarely helps to keep it all bottled up inside."

Ellie smiled at you and sighed. "Well if really want to hear my story..."
"As a kid I was a loner, an anti-social but when I was five I met this boy and I guess we became friends...best friends until one faithful day...i...killed him." Ellie said faking a smile but tears kept falling down her cheeks.

Jaya struggeld slightly to keep his face calm, and put the deck back in his pocket discretely. "Killing someone is a bit much for a five year old, even one as talented as you would seem to be. Tell me some more about how you met him. Let's start with his name."
In the back of his mind, he could hear his mother reminding him that he can't save everyone, but he pushed the thought aside. Tomorow he would be able to afford to pick his battles. Tonight was important.

"His name is Damien. I met him in one of the million parties held in our house every summer. My parents introduced me to his parents and that's when I saw him." Ellie started as her tears still won't stop.
"We were getting along really well, he was my only friend until we were 10..he was the only one who can understand me, the only one who can take all the pain away...but in spite of all that, I killed him..."She said trying her very best to stop her tears.

"Sounds like your family introduced you to a lot of people... and yet you say you've never had a real friend..." Jaya kept the majority of his doubts internal. Though he did his best, it was still easy to read on his face that he doubted that what the young girl percieved as the truth of the world was what had really happened. But still, he listened patiently to her story, trying to find some way in which he could help ease her pain.

"They did introduced me to a lot pf people but they were all grown ups" Ellie said then she looked at you. "You don't believe me, do you? It's okay....I know that it sounds stupid."
Ellie stood up "I knew you can never understand what I feel but thanks for listening...I feel a little better now..." She said but tears were still rolling down her cheeks...

Jaya stood up slowly, judiciously avoiding any sudden movements. "It's not that I think that you are lying to me or anything, but..." He paused for a moment, groping around for the right word. "it's been my experience that everyone sees themselves a few degrees differently from how they really are. I'm just trying to feel out where you think you are, to see if I can help. After all, usually all it takes is some time to talk things out to set most things right." He offered his hand to her, trying his hardest to exude comfort and security. "Besides, can you blame me for having a hard time believing you didn't have any friends?"

Ellie clenched her fist, 'I don't need this' she thought. She feels crapy enough, then this guy comes along telling her not to keep her feelings bottled up...after telling her story, the guy doubts if she was telling the truth.
Ellie looked at your hand but didn't take it, instead she said "Look, I really appreciate you, listening to my story and all that, but I need to go now." Ellie then walked towards the window she went out through.

Jaya stood, a little taken aback. "All right, but if you ever need to talk, just come and find me." He paused for a moment, as if unsure of what to say next. "I never meant to offend you."

Ellie stopped and looks at you...
"You didn't..." She said "and I'm sorry...I just need to be alone right now...”
and with that she left without saying another word.
