The Wind of My Life

Do you know when you want to delude yourself or deny something about your daily life? Is it to deny that you took something without someone's permission or to delude yourself that you are fine with someone when you can be in chaos? That's how I feel most of my days.

My name is Raphaela Daviner. I am 22 years old and I am a university student at the University of Madison in Wisconsin. I am 1.70 tall, 67 kg, I have white skin but I am very tanned. I have short black hair with a bang that hides my birthmark above my right brown eye. Speaking like that, I look very much like a normal girl . And I would be if it wasn't my family ...

I'm from a rich family, but I'm not one of those snobbish people you usually see. I hate that way and I prefer to have the most normal life like a lot of my friends. Grating a lot to get your money, knowing how to balance what is needed, having responsibilities. But with my family always picking on me and telling me how " awesome " I am to impress everyone, this is almost impossible.

Because of my family, I had to live on her wings until I turned 23 when I moved to Madison. When I graduated in "Business", they let me choose something to do and I decide to do Performing Arts in Madison. First because I always dreamed of being an actress and second because it would be the perfect way to get away from the lifestyle that my family love and I hate. Because of that, I live my way, where the excessive money they give me is used to pay for my college, things I need like outfits or aliments and to pay for my apartment, since they think I live in a luxury apartment, but I decided take the most complicated route and I rented a small apartment near the university to cut expenses and have money left over if I need to even get a job and live at my expense, with no one to piss me off.

But as if that were not enough, many of my friends know that I am rich, but few understand me and the ones I prefer most are close by. The problem is that ... I need to maintain an image of a rich and snobbish person at the university so that no one can hand me over to my family and ruin my plan. And that's what makes me very stressed since I came here ...

But recently, it seems that things have changed in a way, that I don't even know what to think anymore ... And all because of him ...

...

It was a few days ago ...

I was at a friend's house. She invited me to sleep at her house together with other friends of hers, as if it were a girls' night or something. I'm not very fond of that kind of thing, but I decided to go because she was a friend that I like so much .

It was fun. We talk about college stuff, gossip, boys, that kind of thing. It was not even 10 PM and they were all almost asleep , but I was sleepless because of the excessive amount of coffee made. That's when I decided to go to her living room and started watching some Netflix series on my cell phone and even after a couple of episodes, sleep didn't come. It was then that I decided to take a walk around her house.

Her house is a little away from central Madison, but it is on a path that leads to Madison's Univeristy , where we all studied. Her house looked very much like a traditional Japanese house with 2 floors, which made no sense to me. But the fact that it was very open and well organized caught my attention.

I went to a balcony on the second floor that was connected to the living room and watched the moon. She was so beautiful with the stars that shone so much that I admired her for a while. When I realized, I received a message on my cell phone from a boy that I feel a little crush on him. He sent me a photo of him with the moon "resting" on his palm and saying that he "would give one to Jim Carrey in the movie Bruce Almighty and make the moon closer to me". I was laughing and just answered him back. After I sent my message to him, I saw the time on my cell phone and it was close to 11 pm . It was then that I pressed the button to turn the screen off when I saw something in the reflection of the screen ... It looked like lights in the skies ... And when I turned my gaze to the moon ...

I saw 4 lights in the sky. One blue,one red, one purple and one gold. At that moment, I moved closer to the edge of the balcony to get a better look at what it was, and they looked like very beautiful shooting stars. But looking for a few more seconds , the blue one started to distance itself from the others and it started coming towards the house. I was scared, but before I screamed or something, the light was already very close to me and I ended up falling back. I closed my eyes and put my hands in front of me to cover myself and ... I just felt a wind pass me. No big noise or impact. And when I opened my eyes, I dropped my hands and ... I saw him ...

There was a boy near the edge of the balcony. But he looked so different. There were some blue symbols circling him. He wore a long gray suit that went knee-length , black cloth pants, white gloves and black boots . He appeared to be a little bigger than me and had a slightly thin body. But what caught my attention the most was ... the white wolf ears together of his messy short hair , a white fluff where a human's ears would be and a messy white tail moving. He still had his eyes closed and when he opened it, he saw me lying on the floor, raised his hands and ...

- Hello, young girl~~

He held out his hands to lift me up, but ...

- AAAAAAAAAHHHH!

I ended up screaming loudly making him startle, walking backwards and making him fall off the balcony. I got up quickly and went to see where he had fallen . But I saw nothing but a blank card for a jack of cards. After that , my friend and 2 other girls appeared nervous and I don't remember if I passed out or blacked out, because I didn't remember anything and I only found out when my friend told me the next day when I woke up. But then, I went down and ended up finding the jack card.

...

After that, I wondered if it was a moment of delusion or a dream. But as I was thinking that I could be called crazy, I decided not to say anything and accept that it was a crazy dream that I had.

The next day, I went home but, somehow, I felt like someone was watching me. As if target was tied to me and that made me shiver. But I didn't understand until last Sunday when I was alone at home.

I was at home, talking to my friend on my cell phone about a trip that the course staff from university were planning. I was kind of out of place because I was going to pay my part and 2 more parts for my friends to go on this trip. When I hung up the phone, I just sighed and ...

- Damn , you're good at lying, huh

I turned around desperately to find out whose voice it was and there he was lying on my couch ... The wolf boy from that day of lights. Clearly, I took the first things I saw and toss on him, while he kept trimming and asking me to calm down , which was not possible since there is a man who entered on your house without your permission , it was obvious that I was going act like that.

Stay at it, until I stopped because he looked more like he's having fun than desperate. It was then that he introduced himself ...

- Well, my name is Jack Ace. Nice to meet you, Raphaela~~

I was very nervous and tense with the fact that he knew my name, that he knew where I lived and that he simply came into my house hoping that I would act like this, but it was from a certain point that I had no choice but to hear it .

Days later, he moved to here. I found it very bizarre and uncomfortable, but we entered into an agreement that he intends to live in my house with me and that he wanted my help in his mission to find people who are compatible with the use of magic, he would have to tidy and take care of my house while I'm out. Sounds weird, but since he's dressed as a butler, why not?

Since then, I have been living with a furry, noisy roommate, making my life go into chaos because of jokes, behavior and his habit of trying to "tease" me because he is living with me. That was not quite the idea of ​​living with responsibilities or challenges that I expected, and I keep thinking that I should have already regretted it. ..

It was what I thought until he told me about who he is and everything he went through. In the end, they and I are the same because ... We want a life that we can live without someone to dictate what we should do. And maybe that's what made things between him and me more meaningful than I imagined ... Not only him, but Ellyn too.

And now I wonder ... What is the purpose of being someone that people expect when you can be who you are? And no matter who you are, if you have people willing to accept you, it is very worth having them around.

Ellyn stayed here at home for the past few days to understand this better and decided to build up the courage to talk to this guy named Sebastian that she told a lot to someone that she only spent 2 days together. And today, the two of them are going to come here together to help these two crazy people who call themselves Gachas ... Well ... Since I'm in this, the way is to continue ...

- Raphaela, are you sure that these bras still fit you bre ...

- JACK, YOUR ...!
