A new friend

After watching the documentary, the teacher gave the end of the class so everyone had half an hour of rest.

Marie and Suzie, who didn't know what to do, were glad when the girl with pigtails and pink hair approached them.

"How about Marie and Suzie, I can see that you are a bit lost with the school setup, but let me help you?

By the way, my name is Blair, but join me I'll show you around the school. "

Marie and Suzie nodded to start following Blair.

"This school is a veritable fortress that has endless corridors, according to my dad, who is a member of the parent committee.

It is designed to withstand direct nuclear attack and under the building is a large bunker where we could shelter for years.

I also heard that security on and off campus uses the same technology as that used by your father, Marie.

By the way, what is your father like? I know he's famous, but I don't know how he can compare with our parents. "

Marie scratched her head and raised her shoulders "He's never visited me so I don't know him. I just know that he visited us once when he was a baby.

But that's all, although if I'm honest, I don't need it; I have a much better dad and many moms.

As far as I know, I should never care if he visits me or not. "

Blair was surprised and looked at Marie with a smile "You are fantastic Marie. I could not achieve something like what you do because my parents are very important to me.

To be without them would be very hard. "

Marie squeezed Suzie's hand "It is for me too, but with Suzie, Mom Diara and everyone else I can get by.

That is why I can be strong. I have the support of someone else to be able to face my feelings. "

Blair opened her eyes and was quite happy "You are even stronger than I thought. According to mom, the strong are those who can trust other people.

If you do not trust people, then you can only be an indifferent person, not strong because by not having anyone, you cannot give the best of yourself.

Although the only ones who do not comply with that rule are narcissists, they are a real danger to everyone. "

Suzie, who had heard everything, scratched her head "You are very smart , Blair. I know Marie is smart, but you seem to have answers for everything."

Blair laughed as she covered her mouth "I'm not smart, but my parents have been methodically raising me since I was just a baby.

It can be said that while other girls played on the internet, I could only read books and visit the net to learn about anything.

I even learned to program in binary code, using only 0 and 1.

Which is quite complicated as it takes a lot of combinations just to write hello world. "

Marie, who was listening to that, remembered the world she had seen when she was not wearing her glasses, that digital world that was better than the amorphous thing she could call reality.

"Blair, could you teach me to program in binary code, I am very interested in learning what those 0 and 1 mean.

I think they might be of help to me in the future. "

Blair nodded and, using her clever pupils, searched for some files she had on her account that her father had given her access to.

After about ten minutes of compressing over 5 terabytes of information about the binary code, he transferred the information to Marie.

"You should have received a message with all the information about the binary code. You have enough information to be an expert in the most basic code.

Also, add some books and documentaries on binary code programming. It should be enough information for you to learn quickly and easily.

But now that I think about it, Marie, why do you wear glasses if Suzie seems to have good eyesight. "

Marie caressed her glasses with some melancholy "They are something special to me because otherwise the things I could see would be quite annoying.

I would not know how to explain it in detail, but it is as if reality is only a name. "

Blair opened her mouth and looked at Marie with a big smile "My mom talked a lot about glasses that could help schizophrenic people.

I can't believe you have one of those glasses, but I understand you, Marie, it's not fun to see pictures or things that don't exist.

I know it can be hard, but at least yours only affects sight. There are people who suffer from such high damage that they can hear and feel things.

Mom says that even with all the information about the human body, there is no way to stop the damage to the brain. Nothing can counteract it because, unlike Alzheimer's and dementia.

Schizophrenia is a deeper damage, but that's what she says. "

Marie scratched her cheek because she knew that Blair was misunderstanding something, but it didn't matter because she knew that she wouldn't believe her either if she could tell her that she was seeing reality.

After this, Blair showed them some classrooms and labs for the classes, but the tour stopped when they reached the cafeteria, which was huge.

In it, they could see many girls talking and playing with each other while they ate.

"In the cafeteria, you can find food of all flavors. All of it is natural and nothing artificial.

Even the milk used is natural, I heard this is because they created a kind of artificial udder that can produce milk.

Although no one knows, milk is too delicious, so I recommend it.

But let's eat because the next class is pretty boring, it's about math. "

Marie cheered and squeezed his hand impatiently "That's my favorite subject. How can bore you, Blair."

Blair yawned and looked somewhat doubtfully at Marie.

"What happens is that it is too simple. I feel that physics and advanced mathematics are much more complicated than arithmetic.

Although it is the basis of mathematics, I feel that I have mastered it already."

Suzie, who had listened to them, only sighed "I like the arts. I feel that they are the best subject. I like to draw and to be able to see the things that I can create.

Using only colors or a musical instrument, although I would prefer to avoid stage plays as they call bad and dangerous people.

That can harm us only for their own pleasure. "
