She was the first of her kind to attend the school as the world try to find balance and peace among between humans and elves--but it seemed peace was not what Melda was to have.<br/><br/>Instead she was teased mercilessly by the females in the school, while harassed by the males. Today it wasn't much different as she sat in her chemistry class, some of the girls in the room seriously invading her space and singing an obnoxious song.<span style="color: #BF0000"> "Seriously...this is the most insulting thing humans can come up with?"</span>she grumbled to herself as she slouched in her seat. She wanted to stand tall and proud against the girls, but she was too exhausted for that.<br/><br/>The teacher finally waltzed in and the class fell silent as the roll was called. Melda gave her small "here" as she was called and gave a groan when the teacher announced some sort of group work. Just like she had thought would happen, the left over males came swarming after her--except for the ever bored-looking Jin. She gave a firm no to each male who came up asking to work with her, some muttering that she was a bitch as she rejected them. Finally, no one was left except Jin, whom she had forgotten about in a short amount of time.<br/><span style="color: #00BF00"><br/>"Melda, partner up with Jin."<br/></span><br/>Melda paused, straightening some as she looked up at the teach with mild surprise. She wasn't sure why she was surprised, but she definitely knew she felt a lot of relief. She gave a soft sigh, glad to be paired with someone who was, essentially, a wall. She could work with walls--walls were easy. With that, she stood and made her way over to Jin. She gave a small greeting, which Jin ignored and Melda couldn't help but give a happy smile, sitting down next to Jin with a much better mood. It seemed Jin really didn't give a shit about her and it was lovely.<br/><br/>When the teacher's attention was gone, a girl turned to face Melda with a sneer,<span style="color: #FFBF00"> "D is for dick. Melda loves the dick."</span>The girl let out a giggle and before Melda could say something, the quiet Jin, who was sketching out their first answer, spoke up,<span style="color: #0000FF"> "A is for ambulance. Melda will chuckle as I send you home in an ambulance...."</span>The room went quiet and the girls seemed shocked by Jin, slowly turning back to their work and leaving Melda alone.<br/><span style="color: #BF0000"><br/>"Thanks..." </span>she grumbled as she began to help Jin with the work. Her writing was a little bit better than Jin's, who actually had pretty nice handwriting if she were being honest. They were quiet for most of the period, but towards the end Melda could no longer hold in her curiosity.<span style="color: #BF0000">"Why'd you stick up for me?"</span>she asked, honestly confused. No one ever really stood up for Melda--even the teachers were hesitant to help her. She could understand, it was weird having an elf in a human school--but it was weird and difficult for Melda too. She felt like she had no support and Jin had presented her with the first act of kindness anyone had ever offered her.<br/><br/>It was sad that she had been around for at least a year and it had been the first glimpse of mercy she had ever seen.
