Is This Stealing From A Character Question That Would Eventually Get Posted? - Tumblr Posts

Look! A short angsty story for the star on my page for today

Shortly after becoming slightly more social - in the small window between the beginning of Bella's research and her initial social interaction, there was a competition. She had started prep work and planning almost a year in advance. It was her best project yet and it was for a spring internship in NASA. Her parents only just scraped out enough money to pay for parts and the entry fee. The week before the competition, she was working at the school robotics lab, since they had equipment she needed. She left the project there overnight. The next day at recess, she found the project destroyed. She was distraught. That day, she skipped class for the first time ever - she wanted to find the perpetrator. She succeeded in discovering who it was. Two girls in her friendship group had gotten jealous. They had asked for homework answers, but Bella doesn't cheat. She offered to tutor them, but they refused. When she became more social, they were even more jealous, since she was smart and well connected, so they sabotaged her project. She fixed it (thank goodness). However, this set her wayy back in her social progress. She was silent for weeks afterwards and was never seen outside of class or with anyone. Thank goodness for Evie, her best and closest friend at the time. She's a miracle worker.
