Felicia was correct there was someone in the bushes, there was Jaffa. After reading her thoughts he was intrigued, as some of what she thought about is the exact image of Corba’s society. People from his planet do indeed have different colour hair, eyes and skin compared to humans. In Jaffa’s opinion humans appearances are very dull. As their skin’s colour ranges from pale-to-dark brown, and eyes that are blue-to-dark chocolate brown. Maybe he is being judgemental, but humans are the worst judgers. From what Jaffa has seen, most humans judge each other’s very dull appearances. In addition if someone like Jaffa appears in front of bunch of humans, he would probably be criticise for his rather colourful looks. Jaffa has thick blue hair, gold sparkly eyes and tan olive skin. Most of his other features are similar to humans; he has arms, legs, toes and fingers just like any human. It’s just his colour that differs. Felicia’s wish for world acceptance really intrigued Jaffa the most. It sounds clichéd to him, but he has never read that type of thought off a human before. He wants to know more.

Jaffa is on earth to study the ‘human being’ and earth’s life – not much is different compared to the human and his civilization. The plant and animal life does differ though. Corba is one worm hole away, the portal is just near the surface layer of earth, although no one can see it as it’s invisible. Jaffa has been on earth for 3 months now, studying and walking among this rather dull human race. He has to disguise himself, so he doesn’t show his real appearance; humans would probably scream if they saw Jaffa. Even the technology is dull on earth, as Corba has more advance technology than let’s say a cell phone. Jaffa thinks that earth’s cell phone won’t even be able to dial a being that lives on another planet – Corba’s cell phone can. Humans don’t even know about the millions of planets out in the universe – they are a very scared race for not wanting to explore. Maybe some humans do, but not all.

Living on earth for the last couple of months is very lonely for Jaffa. The only time he can remove his brown-haired wig and his light blue contacts is when he is in an isolated location. Like the surrounding gumtree forest, where Felicia lives. In fact, Jaffa did disappear fast when Felicia was trying to see what was in the bushes – he was quick on his toes, but he never ran away.

When Jaffa first glimpsed at Felicia’s appearance he just wanted to puke in disgust, because of the dullness she has like every human being. But as he took a greater look at her, he saw pain across her eyes. Felicia has been through a lot. He knew he needed to run away from the scene of Felicia under that insanely large gumtree, because of that fact that he was in his true appearance, but he couldn’t. He simply couldn’t stop reading her clichéd thoughts and staring like a stalker at her appearance.

Felicia has long wavy black hair, with light brown streaks through it. Her eyes are light brown, which glistens because of the sadness that consumes her. She’s a very petite girl, young but wise.

After Felicia left the gumtree and heads back to her hostel, Jaffa eagerly follows, making sure to tune into her thoughts. Footsteps, who’s footsteps were they, Jaffa hears Felicia think.

“Oh you’re back – the silly girl that walks in the dark,” Jaffa hears someone say to Felicia. Humans are very weird, Jaffa thinks.

“Why are you commenting on what I do?” Felicia says to the girl.

“Because I can, and I love to announce creepy things that people do!”

“Really now, don’t you think it’s creepy that you’re questioning my actions?”

“I’m not the creepy one, you’re mutt.”

With that comment Jaffa suddenly hears Felicia’s footsteps hurrying to some room.

Jaffa thinks about the comment that was given to Felicia… The word mutt describes a cross-breed of a dog, not a human. Jaffa is confuse, Felicia is no mutt.

From upstairs, Jaffa hears someone crying – is that Felicia, he wonders.

Felicia suddenly just became emotional. It wasn’t because of the rude comments that the girl was giving, it was simply because of her life. She wishes that her life was better than this, but it’ll probably never will be. People will always see the difference in Felicia.

From hearing Felicia think she was different surprises Jaffa.

“How could she possibly be different from any other human? Aren’t they all similar, even though some have different interests? They all like to judge, they all seem to study and they all seem to work and work. Romance is definitely another aptitude of the ‘human’ personality. So how can Felicia be any different?” Jaffa says to himself.

At this point, Jaffa yearns to find out more about this Felicia girl. He won’t stop until he understands her.
