Update on Loulou Wing:
After all that happened I wanted to go to a place where I knew no-one. The only place I could imagine at that moment was Bridgeport. The city was so big that it would be unlikely I'd meet someone from my "previous life".
I arrived in Bridgeport in the morning. After arrival, I sold my only treasure: the ring. Putting together all money I had and what I got for the ring, I was able to buy a small furnished house.
When I first entered the house I felt horrible. I wanted to run away, back to my life of luxury, to my pool.
I hated that house. I found it too small, the furniture too ugly, the neighboors too boring. I hated my condition, my life. But I hated myself most, for not having done anything useful while I still could. But I still hadn't learn my lesson. Instead of trying to change my condition, I accommodated. I spent my days watching tv instead of going look for a work or at least learning something.
I didn't even care to do any cleaning. I'd never had to do anything in my life and I still didn't realise that, if I didn't help myself, no-one would. I was still the same spoiled kid, the only difference, I was soon going to have to deal with the consequences.
A week or two after I moved in, I got the visit of someone from the university. The guy, a kind of mascot, wearing a rather weird Lhama outfit, asked me when I would finally start. When I said I had no money to pay for it, he suggested I tried for sponsorship. I just had to make an aptitude test. Depending on the results, I could get finacial assistance. I tried it immediately.
When he check on my results, he said, "I'm sorry, Lady, but we do sponsor when we see some potential. Your results are one of the worse I've ever seen. You'll need at least one year of preparation before you can apply once more."
I was so upset that I sent him away immediately. In the next days I tried to pretend nothing had happened. But it didn't take long until I had my first crisis. Although I was still convinced that arrogant guy misjudged me, somehow I knew he was right. I was good for nothing. I didn't even know how to prepare a meal, to repair a shower or even to clean my own environment.
That would have been a good time to grow up... but not for me. I chose the sofa and tv instead... while my house was deteriorating. The money was getting short and my depts increasing. And I was sitting on the sofa, watching tv.
