new perspective * aphrodite

Adele had run into Aphrodite the other day, they discussed briefly about meeting up sometime soon and catching up. They had exchanged a few letters over the summer but that got difficult when Adele's parents shipped her off to some new rehab place every two weeks. She never really discussed her condition with anyone but it was easy to talk to Aphrodite about it since she already knew. As Adele walked across the green grass and past a group of chatting Hufflepuffs she noticed that the sky was a pale shade of grey. She wished the sun was out, it would make her mood a little better than it was right now. Her thoughts were clouded since it was nearly supper time, that meant food, which made Adele's anxiety pike at the sheer thought of it.

Adele's stomach churned, making a slight grumbling noise as she walked. She pushed the thought of hunger to the back of her mind, she had skipped breakfast and lunch today. Nobody seemed to notice, she had just told them she wanted to unpack her things before heading down to the Great Hall. No one suspected a thing, she hated lying though. Lying gave her this uneasy and unsettling feeling in the pit of her stomach. It wasn't like being hungry though, she couldn't quite pin the emotion right now. 'Guilt' her mind screamed to her, she took in a sharp intake of breath to relinquish the thought. Adele kept walking past groups of students chatting and laughing, each of them taking a second to stare at her before returning to their conversations.

Adele loved Hogwarts but she felt terribly lonely all the time as well. She missed the comforts of home even though she never spent much time in her own bed. Her parents thought it was only suiting that the time she was away from Hogwarts was best used in rehab centers. Her condition made it hard to keep friends, the anxiety she felt towards food and any social situation was tough for her to overcome. Somehow pushing past this anxiety she found a friend in Aphrodite, she was glad she stuck by her side through it all. Her bad, her good, and the worst of it all. Adele saw an open bench and sat down, waiting to see her dear friend.

adele admired aphrodite's kindness and how she was such a good friend. she had qualities that adele always envied and wanted for herself. unfortunately, she knew she'd never be as poised and perfect as she wanted to be. nothing would ever be good enough for her and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get out of the slump she was in. adele missed all her friends at hogwarts, her parents made it hard in the summer to contact any of them. she had gotten a lot of letters at her house but all of them went unanswered since she wasn't there most of the time. she was hoping that aphrodite wasn't going to be upset with her unanswered letters.

adele was avoiding a lot of familiar faces today, people started asking where she went at breakfast and lunch. the last thing she needed was everyone knowing her secret. here, she wasn't judged for who she was. adele was a girl with a lot of mental problems back home. here, she was just another witch struggling to get all her assignments done. she sat on the bench and smiled at people who waved or passed her by. she looked through her bag at her brand new textbooks, she was excited to start off the school year. she wanted to do really well in all her classes but there was always a little shred of doubt in every goal she wanted to achieve. adele heard someone sit down next to her, at first she only saw the pixie-cut golden brown hair. then a beautiful smile on her face, she grinned at her friend aphrodite. she was glad to see her, she looked stunning like always. "i've been really busy settling into this new swing of things." adele returned her sideways one arm hug. "i definitely agree, we need to catch up. tell me all about your summer!" she smiled warmly.
