Angels Wings

Prologue part 1

I never was popular at my old school or even very social, but I had my friends and when my Father said that we had to move after my mother died from cancer I didn't know what to do with myself. My mom had just passed and it was like someone had stabbed my wound when we started packing for the move. There were so many boxes full of her stuff, full of memories that would be forgotten, but Dad threw it all away. He was not happy anymore and it broke my heart to see him that way. I tried so hard to convince him that everything would be alright but he insisted on moving and making a fresh start, but I didn't want to make a fresh start. He had said to me "Gracie we will both be happier if we do this." So here I am waiting at the bus stop for my first day of my second year of high school at some public school with the worst reputation. Except it was only my first day. My dad and I couldn't get everything together in time for me to start school with every one else. I had no idea what I would do at this new place or who I would meet but I was freaked out about the whole idea. My heart started pounded out of my chest when the yellow and rusty school bus turned the corner coming strait for me and only me. Everything hit me at once. My life was falling apart. I wanted to run back to my home my real home in Colorado not my new home here, but I couldn't run. My feet felt like they were glued to the floor. Maybe because of embarrassment or fear or both I don't know but all I did know is that all the sudden I started crying. I missed my mom and life was horrible if I had a life still. My mom could've helped me through everything but she was too out of reach. I was back to reality when the bus made a big noise that made me want to rip my ears off. I wiped my tears and I looked normal...I guess. I don't think I ever was normal or even what the human rase considers normal but I new I was not normal. My future awaited me and there was no going back now. I slowly stepped on the stairway up the bus but eventually a older, raggedy, and smelly bus driver screamed at me to hurry. She wore ripped jeans and she had an expression that said "I hate my life." I ran in the bus afraid that this lady would hurt me if I didn't. Then I saw it. All the people starring at me like I had three eyes. I started daydreaming of what could go wrong. I could get bullied or my whole personality could change from pressure. Before my daydream could get worse the bus driver slammed on the gas pedal forcing me to take a seat for my life. I sat with a headache and nausea. Next to me was a tall girl wearing ripped jeans and a black crop top. Her hair was as a dark blue like the night sky and her brown eyes were covered by wide framed glasses. Her music was so loud that I could hear it. This girl listened to heavy rock. From the little excitement I had in my heart I immediately spoke, "Hi my name is Gracie." The second I did that it felt like my brain was fighting my heart because it made such a horrible choice. The girl quickly responded before I could start embarrassing myself even more,"Hi...ah my name is Kailey." I was shocked someone had actually talked to me but it was real it was actually happening. I was flustered but I tried to make small talk so I said ,"So how bad is this school." Kailey responded with "Horrible I can not bare another day." I made a soft giggle and started to loosen up. We talked for a while. I learned she lives in Citrus Town, this was her first year at North Ridge High, and we were in the same class, Mrs. Haskins. My worries melted away and I felt so much better. It felt like we talked for hours but really it was only a couple minutes. We stopped for a little when the bus stopped for a new passenger to get on. It was a girl who looked very timid. She walked with a hood covering her face. Her hair was thick and short. Her pink hoodie had what I think was a bush on it. The hoodie was paired with kind blue jeans and topped with converse laced with pink. I glanced over at Kailey. She obviously knew the girl in the hood as she rolled her eyes.  Tension seemed to fill the bus. Awkwardness overwhelmed me even though I had nothing to do with it. Kailey shoved her headphones back into her ears. I wanted to know more about this girl. Lost in thought the bus screeched to a stop and students started filing out. First day here I come.
