Until We Fall

Chapter-2

Chapter-2

they lady- that I soon figured out her name is Violet- gave me, what she called chicken and milk. the chicken was warm and slimy and I didn't like it one bit, so then she gave me a bowl of tomato soup with crackers, and it was lovely. the milk was nice and creamy, I loved it.

"There is much to learn about the earth . . . uh . . . what' your name, my darling?" Violet asked in a raspy voice.

I stuttered and I tried to come up with something but nothing came out.

"Iris." I suddenly say, and Violet smiles.

"What a sweet name." she says, giving me a nice smile. why's she being so nice to me?

"okay, Iris-" she stresses my name and winks at me. "there are some . . . changes that we have to make before I enroll you in school, okay?" she says and my eyebrows draw together.

"What kinds of changes?" I ask, now getting panicked.

"Well contacts for starters, I mean have you seen your eyes?" I look down at my lap feeling ashamed. my eyes are a deep sparkling purple, that is very common on my planet, but I am assuming, very rare on this planet.

"Not that they aren't stunning, because they are they are beautiful, but I think to "blend in" you have to wear colored contacts." violet tries to make me understand, but she doesn't have to. I know she's not doing this to hurt me, or make me feel bad, she's doing this to help me and I appreciate it, a lot.

"I understand," I reassure her.

"Good," she smiles at me, and I smile back, feeling awkward.

"So um . . . what color do you have in mind?" I ask, trying to break the weird silence between us.

"Blue . . . sea blue would look beautiful with your long red hair." my hair is red and it is long, it stops at my ankles, I love my hair but I have a feeling of what's coming next.

"Oh, and uh . . . about your hair . . . that's going to have to be cut, sweetheart." I nod understanding. I love my hair but a haircut wouldn't hurt.

************************************* AFTER MAKEOVER

my hair is now cut up to my waist, and my eyes are now blue and my new wardrobe is stunning.

with pink skirts and shirts and blue tank tops and cardigans and jewelry like rings and necklaces and hats purses etc.

its weird having all of this stuff because I come from a planet where, being naked in public is okay. no we are not a bunch of weirdoes who lust for things like that, we are just too innocent to realize there is anything wrong with how we present ourselves.

and I'm not bragging or making it seem like my planet is better, but from where I come from nobody is over weight.

we all have nice bodies and clean skin, because we are nut gluttonous and we do not lust for food we take what is given to us without objection or annoyance.

see that's the difference between my planet and yours . . . we don't live to survive we survive to live.
