Polar opposite (Part 2)

Click here for Part 1.

Norman feverishly took notes on the fused Walter/Bella -- which he dubbed “Wanda” for convenience. At first, she exhibited confusion. She felt like Norman’s friend, but also felt way too cool to be hanging out with him. Wanda still felt a close relationship with Norman, but she didn’t feel related to him any more. Her style was totally geek chic, and she seemed to be just as interested in Star Trek and video games as she was in fashion and cute celebrities. Norman’s constant notetaking made her feel awkward, and she soon left without even saying goodbye. While she felt like Walter at times and like Bella at others, she wanted to break free of both those roles, and she knew Norman’s close connection with both would constantly be forcing her to act like one or the other. She needed to forge her own way.
