Crystaline's POV:
~8 YEARS AGO~

"Crystaline," my mother calls out again. "Crystaline hurry up! You're catching bus, remember?" "Yes mum," I call out whilst inspecting my new feature. I imagine them absorbing into my skin, and they do so. I... I have wings? How is this... real? "Crystaline," mum shouts. "Honestly, what is taking you so long?!" She bursts into my bathroom. "Nothing mum," I speak with a low volume. "Then, come on. You wouldn't want to be late, would you?" Mum takes me to the front door, where I gallop outside and down the path. "Goodbye, darling," mother shouts. "Bye," I say, turning to wave.

My parents and I had to move so that dad could get a promotion in his company, but that meant moving. So, I ended up choosing to leave my last school. All I did was learn and read anyways! I didn't have friends so I don't see the problem with moving.

The bus stop isn't too far. Should I catch the bus? I continue walking, wondering whether I should test my new figure or wait until weekend. Catch the bus. There's five days until Saturday. You can use an excuse to go to the park. I sit on the bench, at the bus stop, waiting for bus 102-Mandelton to arrive and take me to Indling Grammar School. I chose to go to that school in the next town over, plainly because I like long bus rides, music and landscapes. I get all of those things, simply by choosing to go to that school. I arrive there and am greeted by the school guide. "Hello, you must be, Crystal," she says in a cheery voice. "Line. Crystaline," I reply. "Sorry, Crystaline. My name is Madison Carl. I will be showing you around the school." "Okay" She started showing me around but there were only three things in my mind. Class rooms. Quiet lunch areas. Library. "-and over here is the library-" I make note of the library and the seats outside. Perfect. Whilst Madison babbled on, I just looked around. There were tons of people, none of my liking. They all looked preppy and confident. I was nothing like that. Shy, yes. Smart, yes. Social, no. In need of friends, absolutely not! Teacher's pet, pssh! Yeah right.

"Here are your classes. Hope you enjoy!" Madison walks over to a bunch of girls and starts chatting with them. She must be the gossipy type. Then a guy comes up and kisses her. Definitely stay away from her. Must be old enough to date, so maybe year seven. I'm in year three, so I'll be fine.

Boy, was I wrong.

"Hello everyone," the teacher said. "Today, we have a new student. Hello there." She points at me. "Come on, don't be shy!" I slowly get out of my seat, and walk toward the front of the class. "Everyone, this fine, young girl will be joining us for the rest of the year. Why don't you introduce yourself?" I cough slightly before softly speaking, "M-my n-name i-s... Crystaline." I slightly look up to find everyone looking at me. "Can you tell us something about yourself," the teacher asks. "I live in Middle Estate, in the north part of Mandelton." I can feel their stares. The teacher sends me back to my seat, politely. All I want is to learn. Please leave me alone, I beg in my head.

This was me everyday, for the next eight years...
