(miniflash story in magical realism)

She is an ordinary nerdy student that prefers spending time alone and has no friends. Being quiet, calm, and observant, she`s so concentrated on her studies that nothing else makes a difference for her. If you greet her, she keeps silent; if you ask her, “Fancy a cinema after the lessons?” she says, “Sorry, I am busy today.”

She is not as ordinary as it may seem. Take a closer look, and you might notice that she is not alone. All the time she had someone staying with her. Barely noticeable, almost invisible Shadow is the only friend she has. She has no chance to spend time with anyone else because she is Shadow`s sacrifice, cursed to be always alone.
