Chasing Gavin
Character sketch
Dear anonymous reader chancing on this write-up,
Do you think that the cutie in this picture is:
(a.) an 8-year old in a body of a teenager
b.) a hermit who finally realized liberty
(c.) a budding artistic genius
(d.) a miracle waiting to happen
If you answered "c" then give yourself 100 brownie points, though "d" might also be considered. The reason why that is the answer is something that a lot of us might already know. When Mia's name is brought up, we can't help but think of Barbie's Cradle, Harry Potter, artistic hands, musical aptitude, love for writing and her eyes that seem to vanish whenever she flashes one of those dimple-clad grins. She's the girl of many talents-and it's almost close to impossible to come up with something that she cannot do.
Sometimes one would find difficulty in trying to understand everything there is about Mia-her passion for reading, her unspoken stares, the way she expresses herself thru writing and her smile that never seemed to have left her lips. Some people may see her differently, but they don't seem to realize that Mia is just another student who faces Algebra long test traumas and daily life catastrophes like everyone else does.
There's a saying that goes, "Silent waters run deep." There are some people who surprise you with amazing brilliance when you least expected them. They are the type who remain unspoken yet they surprise you with record-breaking marks on their report cards...
Mia is not like that.
Silent, that is.
