"Who's here?... " I paused in my tracks .

No answer.

"Reveal yourself" I demanded.

Nothing.

Hmm...who could it be?... It was a black feather...oh my gosh...was it Secret?'

I blew the thought off and just headed home wondering if Secret would be at school the next day.

The next day:

I woke up fairly early. I brushed my teeth , did my hair and put on a cute outfit. I put my hair up in a bun and being an angel I have a uniform. The typical all so cliche robe? Nope it wasn't even a robe. It was more like a dress of attached jaggedly cute pieces of cloth sewn onto a normal white dress fastened with a leather tie around the waist. There was also cloth hanging hanging down and attached to leather cuffs on my my wrists. Typical more modern day angel because of my generation of angels.

Upstairs...its just like earth, functions similar to earth. Just everyone up here are primary Angels, those who transition as a soul from death , secondary, very high ranked Angel and the guardians , the category I'm in. Guardians are the second highest rank as they have a lot of power too but not as the primary ranks. All of the ranks dress differently to determine ranks, guardians have leather cuffs, primary ranks wear a golden headpiece and secondary wear only the a basic Angels robe.

I got dressed and headed down. I was behind the school where trees covered a corner on the field. I started to walk and began approaching an area where picnic tables were arrange and students normally hang out there.

I noticed something going on at one of the corners. A group of sophomores.

"What's happening over there?..." I thought to myself as I saw a guy throw flour on a girl. Another guy seemed to of gotten really angry at the other one. But then a girl and that guy who threw flour on the girl walked away. As an angel, seeing something bad and leaving it is against code. So as typical , I went to them.

""Hey!! Are you okay?! I saw what happened!!" I said alarmed

"Ohh yeah...you kinda get used to them" The girl I asked laughed

"That's not right though...oh and I'm Reith Talndale" I smiled at them as I extended a hand

"Cally Rose , Riley , Colin , Ally and Maya " She said shaking my extended hand.

I noticed her clothing was obviously ruined from some salty like liquid and flour. So I got my back and decided to do something. Since I have the paper to do so because an Angels duty is to help , I snapped my fingers and there popped a dress and flats out of my back. I picked a pretty red dress and black flats for her. I took it out of my bag.

Take this..." I smiled.

"Thank... Thank you!!" Cally said." How...how did you do that?... I don't think you just carry around an outfit in your bag... How?..."

I laughed and replied.

"Magic" I laughed. Then I snapped my fingers and vanished into an area where Sally and Rachel may be.

I noticed my hourglass calculated her timer, she had a layer of a lot of white sand , a small layer of black sand , a small layer of white again and another layer of black. Right now it's a mix. She was a suicide attempter. Black sand means period of near intentional death. Red sand means near death.
...wait she looks familiar... Wait Cally Rose... I saved her a few months ago and just about a month ago from attempts. I shook the thought away and was glad to see her happy and alive.

"I hope she likes the dress" I smiled to myself as I went to go meet up with Rachel and Sally.
