Julia P.O.V.

That I night, I think of what I did to get here. I would’ve come here if I hadn’t done what I did.

At my old school in Manchester, I was constantly bullied. Everyone thought I was weird, I was too different for them. I was a regular witch back then. But their words started getting to me; words like, “She’s so ugly.” “What a weirdo!” “She’s a friendless freak! Nobody likes that loser.”

It made me cry myself to sleep, but one night I decided to end it all. I was tired of putting up with it. It was clear that everybody hated me. So I went into my bathroom and found a razor. I cut my wrists, deeply. I watched as the blood flowed out of me, tears pooling in my eyes. But I didn’t die. At least I didn’t think so. I checked my pulse to see if it was slowing down. But I couldn’t feel my pulse. When I looked into the mirror, I saw my normal long brown hair, grey eyes, and pinkish lips. I also saw my blood stained arms and a white feather poking out of my back. As the night went on, more and more feathers started sticking out from my shoulder blades. In the morning, I had full angel wings sprouted from my back.

Later, when I came to this school, I learned that some Gifted turn into ghosts when they die, but that’s their choice. However, if they commit suicide, like I did, they get stuck on this planet as an angel.

I wake up the next morning and see Mira standing over me.

“Come on Jules!” she uses my nickname, “Get up! One of the new arrivals is here.”

I sit up and stretch my limbs and wings.

I groan, “How the hell are you so upbeat this early?”

“I’m morning person, now let’s go!”

When I’m finally changed, with much pestering from Mira, we fly down into the main corridor where there’s already a huge crowd of people. We find Harry and Louis in the front so we join them.

“A new arrival just got here. They’re outside right now,” Harry tells us.

The main doors open and Simon Cowell, or as he likes us to call him, Uncle Si, comes in with a blonde haired and icy blue eyed boy.

“I see you all noticed a new arrival,” Uncle Si closes the door behind them. “Everyone, please welcome Niall Horan.”
