She's Unreal

I watched her carefully. Ever since she showed up here she seemed strange. From the very being her luck was something to be amazed by. The way she acted, dressed, she wasn’t like the rest. She wasn’t what one might consider normal.

The very way she played the game was like nothing I had ever seen. From the moment she walked through the front gates, her playful smile and teasing eyes. She was playing the game her way from the start I could tell. She knew something the rest of us didn’t. There was something much more then what we saw but she let not one hint show.

Her actions got me curious. I hinted to him of my suspicions. He told me instantly that he too had noticed. She wasn’t like the others something she hid from us all. I curiously wondered if we were the only ones who noticed this. No one else seemed to; no one else seemed to care. They thought she was just odd, just different like any other, but it was more then that. Her actions unwilling hinted to that.

I watched her and one day followed her. She was normal enough but she wasn’t normal at all it seemed. She was wild, careless, taunting, and outgoing. Her idea of perfection lied only within herself. She saw things as already perfect. There were few flaws in the way the world around her was.

She seemed new to this world, as if it were someplace to where she had never been. She did too many things incorrectly; too many common things were done wrong. I knew, I was sure that she wasn’t like us. She tried to hide something and many fell for the fake but may I be the only one, I saw through her lies. Most just thought she was playing and she pretended she was. In her eyes though, in her actions, I saw how serious she truly was.

I wasn’t sure right now what it was about her, but she held a control over those. She knew how to get what she wanted. She knew how to play the game, cheat, and get away. She was much smarter, much more cunning then she let on for the appearance. If only I knew of a way to prove it and make it known. I needed to make her drop the act, if only I had an idea on how. She wasn’t easy to fool, that much was crystal clear and obvious.

The game was hard but she played it as if it were easy, a mere child’s game. Her luck in the game was a form of perfection and she knew it. It was as if she called to them, bringing them out of anyone else’s grasp and right into her hands. She would get first place every time. I just wish I knew and could understand why. What was it about her that could make everything work out so well? It couldn’t really have all been just luck.

I tried to play it normal, I did so quite well. I had a feeling though that she knew I was onto her secret. She didn’t seem to care though. She never spoke to me, or did so very rarely that it hardly set to make a count on the board. She acted like she always did; nothing in her world had changed.

It made me second guess myself, wondering if maybe I was imagining the entire thing. Did she really do anything? Maybe I was just imagining it all or over reacting? It seemed highly unlike me but still, I could simply be paranoid. I had lost this game so many times I could be jealous of her luck in winning. That would make sense, but it didn’t seem right. I didn’t care so much about winning. It just made me want to try harder. It made me want to do better. Why would I become paranoid, become jealous? That just didn’t make any sense.

In the end I wasn’t sure what it was that set me off or if any of it was actually real. In some sense, I wondered if possibly I was just looking for a little drama for it was something all my life I had lacked. That would make more sense then anything else.

I suppose it is something that I will never know, at least not right now. I should let it go but that girl keeps showing up in the forefront of my mind. I still sit around and question what she was. I still question why she was so different. If I were right, and she really were as I suspected I would have liked to have learned more but it’s far too late now. That girl is long since gone and I don’t think she’ll be back just anytime soon.
