Her Secret

1-Lindora

My red and blonde hair sits on my shoulders as the warm water clears my pours and washes away the dirt of yesterday and my slumbering hours in the tree. The tree also known as my home. My sanctuary. My savoir. My all. My life isn't the same as others. I'm different.Most people say they're different but you mean human ways. The thing is...I'm not human. I'm a fairy and i keep it myself best i can. 

I shut off the water feeling instant shivers and goosebumps as i rip open the shower curtain to find my leaf. I wrap it around me and search through my wardrobe. It's made from a couple of old mouse traps. You know the ones with the metal that snaps and kills them. i can't believe humans do that.

"Lin, honey come on. Hurry up." My mom says after knock softly on my door. 

"OK ma. I'll be out there in just a second." I dig through my closet. I find a grey zebra print tanks top, a pair of black skinny jeans, and knee high converse. I walk down stair. I walk into the kitchen. It has oak wood cabinets and counters. The floor is covered in little shinny pebbles with grey clay in between them. Some call them dragon tears but trust me they're no where near those.  walls are painted to color of a Blackberry's juice. 

Mom sets an acorn and walnut shell in front of me. I drink the blueberry juice from the acorn and eat my rose petal and butterfly milk. 

We never eat meat. It's against Fairy policy. The only time you can is when you are forced by a human. Which then we're allowed to use our powers and then we have to erase their memories. 

I grab my bag and run out side. I jump out of the tree and old my wings back as i grow bigger. My mouth goes shut and i grow my plan old self at school. All by myself and quiet. How i like it. Why? I'm an only child. I grw up alone and without a dad. He died fighting off a dragon fly. 

I get to the bus stop and climb on. No one talks to me or even notices I'm there. I sit in the very back. A kid with blonde hair follows. I haven't seen this kid around. He looks over at me. I look over at him for a split second then grab my bag and dig through it. 

I grab my hand mirror to see if i put my blue contacts in. OK I did. He's looking at me. Why can't i read what he's thinking. Everyone's thoughts but his is flowing into my brain. 

"Hey I'm Levion." he has a husky voice but it's pure and has good intention. I look at him and smile. Then look at his extended hand. Um...put that away big boy. You touch me you fall in love completely. No if and or but about it. "What are you not going to talk?" He asks the smirk clear in his voice. 

"Dude!" Someone whisper shouts. It's Carter Samuel, Mr. Jock player boy. "Don't mess with  Lindora. She's different. She's mute. Never talks. No one ever hears a peep out of her." he whispers. It's true no one but my parents have ever heard me speak. 

"Oh..." Is all Levion says before talking the football team more. Levion is a handsome boy. Blonde hair, square facial features, blue eyes, a strong body build. He looks pretty strong. Maybe just great enough to be a vampire or a unicorn.Yes unicorns can be human too but you mostly find them in china not in old towns like Baker, Montana. 

The bus pulled up to the brick jail house everyone calls school. I get off the bus and it's like I'm inadvisable. Which i probably am. 

"Look Lindora I know you don't talk but can we try to be friends." I shake my head knowing if i tell him my secert then I have to be able to know i trust him greatly.  "Why not." I shrug and we get to our lockers. Great right next to each other.  "Please." I shake my head again.I unpack my bag and walk off to class. I sit in the back and none other than Levion walks in and steals the only open seat next to me. 

"Okay class today we have a new student. His name is Levion." Mr. James says to the class as he walk in. Now we're going to start up where we left off.  or should i say left down." i roll my eyes as someone the kids fake laugh at him or say not funny as they cough. "Whatever." He opens the book, 'Titanic' and start reading. 

'Don't let go of him you stupid girl. Don't let go.' i think to myself. The boat has just crashed and they got off. They're floating on the board and she's trying not to let go. But she does and he dies. 'Stupid girl. If you love him dive in after him.' and of course the bell rang making me snap shut the book and race off to my next class.  

Levion walks into this class too. This is going to be a long day.
