unknown angel

trying to blend in

I wake up. Feathers in my face. I stretch my sore never before used or seen by anyone other than my parents wings. I pull in my wings and tuck them in between my shoulder blades. I put on this thing to keep my wings tight so no one can see them. This one is simple and white but i have a black one and a tan one too but this one fits what i am wearing today. I put on a mid sleeve white dress that goes to mid shin and white flats. I put my wavy blond hair in a small braid with a white flower. Gosh is that classic angel or what all i need now is a halo. I take out my hair and put black flats on with a black sweater. There that's better.

Downstairs my dad greets me "Good morning my guardian angel." he smiles.

"don't call me that." i hate it when he calls me that. When i was born they thought my wings was a siamese twin and wanted to get rid of my wings. My parents didn't let them when i got older my mom died in a car crash. They asked again if they could take my "siamese twin" my dad replied with a simple "She is my guardian angel. don't change her." After that my wings started to grow feathers. My dad made me my first special corset when i went to school in kindergarten. 7 years later he still calls me his guardian angel.

"Okay sorry."

"Come on i am going to be late for school."

"Oh yea lets go."

--------------------------------------------

Its fourth period and i am in PE. PE is hard, i have to change in the shower. The amount of times my wings started to flap and throw me off balance. It's crazy this is my hardest period to get thru without a wing spaze. Its really hard to keep my secret now in middle school.

Today we had to climb the rope. Last year it was optional this year we have to. Then it's my turn. I walk up and start to climb. Going up is easy. I feel unstoppable up their. Probably because i was born to fly with these wings attached to me. Then i try to go down. My wings try to keep me up they keep spazzing then my hands slip my wings break the corset and i hit the ground. I get up as fast as i could and run to the girl locker room. A girl follows me. by the time i get in there my wings ripped thru my PE uniform. I go into the handicap bathroom stall. just in time for someone to walk in. She knocks on the door.

"Hey are you ok." The girl asks through the door.

"Yea i am fine" I reply ripping off my corset and PE shirt. "Can you hand me my backpack. it says Angel on it in light blue." i know can you believe it my name is angel.

"Uh... yea i will slide it under the door" She says as she pushes it thru the gap at the bottom of the door. "i am Elizabeth, but call me Lizzy."

"Im Angel." grab my back up corset and put it on. "Can you give me my dress from locker 4."

"On it."

When she gives it to me i put it on and open the door. Lizzy has dark brown hair and green eyes.

"Thanks for your help." I say as the bell rings. Lunch good.

"No problem." she says smiling."I am new can you show me where the cafeteria is"

"Oh it's on the other end of the school just walk that way. can't miss it." I smile back pointing.

"Thanks." she says walking away.

That was close. I call my dad.

"Hey dad." I say into my phone while sitting in the corner of the cafeteria.

"Hey sweetheart what's wrong." He says. I never call him from school.

"I fell of the rope climb. I am totally fine but i was close to being found out about."

"Okay well we can find out better ways to take care of you. It will be ok, i won't let you end up in a zoo."

"Okay. Well i was thinking. If i learned how to fly maybe i would have less wing spasms."

"No you don't want to seem more of a freak."

"Yea... i guess."

"Oh i am, sorry i didnt mean it that way, i love you my guardian angel."

"I love you too. see you tonight?"

"I am sorry sweetie i ha-"

"I get it." I cut him off. He is a scientist. That's how i got my wings my mom was around to many fumes and so wings. He is the best guy i know but he always has to work.

"I am sorry. We can celebrate tomorrow." He says.

"Yea ok."

"Happy 12th birthday Angel."

"I love you."

"I love you too." He says. I hang up to see Lizzy sitting across from me.

"How much did you get of that." I say embarrassed.

"What do you mean by wing spasms." She asks.
