She had to start with her parents first, knowing her father was a mechanical engineer and her mother a nurse, this wasn't an easy task.
"What if I get them interested in outdoor activities by showing them how fun they can be? I can put on outdoor stuff on the family TV, but that will be hard to do knowing how much family she has."
"When everybody comes home from work, that's the moment to strike," she said to herself.

"Then you want to skip like the rest of our friends? It's a private school, Melly, there literally are patrol guards."
"Arianna, I don't want to end up like Anjalie. She got suspended and is texting me 24/7 how she is stressing how her family is punishing her by taking away her phone and forcing her to go out and interact with humans. Other than us, Ari, I don't think she has a social life."
Psst psst.... Mel.....
I'm not getting her to look. I need to copy from her book before the science teacher comes in for homework. Maybe I'm lazy, but Mel only studies and wonders about the outside world. She doesn't even use social media. A private school like this is perfect for her. I mean, it's considered the best private school by some people:
Einstein School for Excellent Minds
Ever since I came here, I've only got two friends. One is obsessed with nature like an old soul, and the other one is a social interaction hater. Why am I even here? The school literally is named after Albert Einstein for Christ's sake!
