Wings

Chapter 6

I finally got back to HQ at one in the morning. I was literally dragging myself to the door just to get in. I got in and everyone was staring at me thinking I was still the same. Well that's about to change because I'll show them the new me tomorrow. Then Dash approaches me slowly probably wondering if I'm ok in that knuckle head of his.

"So Stella are you ok. How was your outing?" This is starting to get on my nerves. Well I just gave him a look that made him stand on the tip of his toe. So now he can leave me alone for the rest of the night. He can know about it tomorrow if he really wants to.

"I'm going to sleep so no one distract me until tomorrow's bell." I left the place with an aura around me and walked all the way to my room. When I went inside I glided to the bed just like a sheet of paper falling to the floor, nice and softly. I look at Janette's necklace one more time and sleep with a face as happy as ever like today was the best day of my life. I close my eyes as curtains shutting away the world from my mind. It was a nice day and no one can take that thought from me.

That night I dreamt about Michael and the way he attracted my chin to face so closely and the sight of his eyes drew me into this endless sky. Then I couldn't stop producing images of him throughout my mind. Whether it was us talking or him sitting there reading his books. His face was plastered all over my brain and I couldn't remove it.

The next morning came and I got up and found myself smiling through the mirror. Although I didn't understand why. So I started brushing my hair and the moment I closed my eyes I saw a picture of Michael and smiled. I abruptly opened my eyes looking into the mirror and thought about that moment for a few seconds. Oh hell no! I'm in love with Michael! Is that even possible! I just met the guy! It can't be like this! I never fell in love with anything or anybody! It might be that I'm just happy with the guy. Well I should just forget that idea. PSHHHH. I'm not in love. I just like him as a friend. Yeah that's it. He is just a friend. Well I guess I can see him today again. Should I get him a toy or some chocolate? Well we'll see if there's something that catches my mind on the street.

As I walk outside I see everyone in morning practice and I just join in. After I owned the place I went to the roof ditching weapon practice again. Once I got there I felt a strong wind push throughout the city. My favorite time of the year. The wind is so strong it's almost like you can fly in it. So I skip the whole day from HQ. Even if there's a mission I wouldn't be there. Everyone knows that this day is special to me. So they leave me alone. The only person who doesn't is Dash. He never respects my personal days, always trying to disrupt it. But I won't let him get to me today. Once I stand at the edge of the building I get ready for Dash to come out of the door shouting like a maniac. I waited a few seconds and then the monster arrives, while I stick my tongue out I fall down backwards allowing the wind to take my soul. Catch on to a wire and soar throughout the buildings and sky. This time of year I feel like I'm spider man. Swinging, running and jumping from all these buildings. This is my reviving / rejuvenating day off from the world. Just like I have my own personal spa.

I have my fun through the day, then I relax on top of the bank building where all the air can reach me. Washing my soul and cleaning it from all the sins I've committed. This is when I feel most free. I sit there dreaming about the year that has passed and all that has happened. It takes me through some funny and sad moments allowing me to change my emotion every two seconds. I should go back to HQ now, Dash is probably furious and looking everywhere for me. Well it wouldn't hurt if I just saw Michael, just to check on him.

I make my way to the hospital, and happiness of seeing Michael overwhelms me to start running. Not on the rooftops, but through the people on the ground. That is because there is no way for me to get there safely with this wind. Also the wind is blowing in the opposite direction I want to go. After an hour of running I finally got there although I wasn't in ship shape as you would say. When I got there I scaled through the back and went to the right side of the roof.
