How long was it I wonder? How long was it that I, Varvara Gauthier, was able to talk to other people without being overly nervous?
Honestly, even I could not remember.
I have a doting mother and an overly protective father. Both of them loved me very much that it made me thought that other than my parents, I need no one else by my side. Of course, that was only the naïve thinking of the younger version of me.
But the sooner I attended my first day of school, everything changed. My father and mother can not stay by my side every single minute of my life. I realized it. I needed to build connection. I needed to create a link and make friends of my age. But why was it? How do I even make friends? How do I speak to them?
I, who had never talked to anyone else other than my gentle maid, have no idea how to start a conversation; neither I was able to make one to last long.
