I wheel myself into the kitchen and place all my papers on the table. Everyone is eating but freezes and gives me curious looks.

"I design offices and pick possible teaching options," I explain sweetly.

"Alright let's hear it," Hank says and shrugs. I hand Hank his office design.

"You advanced child teacher/fighting."

"Fun," Hank utters. I pass Alex his next.

"You a gym teacher/ assistant fight teacher," I say.

"Alright should be fun," Alex remarks. I hand Sean his next.

"You a flight/music teacher," I declare.

"Cool," Sean laughs. Lastly I hand Charles his office design.

"You are ethics teacher/student helper."

"So I teach kids the right and wrongs of using their mutations and help them with issues," Charles clarifies and I nod in confirmation."Brilliant Rienna you are brilliant." I shake my head and blush at the compliment.

"What are you?" Hank asks.

"Basic courses and assistant music teacher," I answer and shrugged. Alex ruffles my hair and laughs.

"Thanks Rienna!" they all chime in unison.

I forget about my wing issue for awhile. A whole week.

****1 Week****

I am getting my casts off today. Yay!!! Sean is taking me.

"So you ready to get your casts off?" Sean asks enthusiastically.

"Yes I can't wait to walk again!" I squeal.

We are going to be taking students in soon. Construction is almost complete on the mansion. But there is one problem...

"Sean can I talk to you?" I ask innocently.

"Sure Rienna," Sean says and smiles.

"I can't change back," I admit. I've tried to go back but I can't.

"Wait what do you mean?" Sean questions seemingly frantic. .

"I mean I can't change myself back to older me!" I exclaim loudly.

"Oh, do you know why?"

"I'm just trapped older me wants to stay hidden away. She is sad, she has no parents, and the guy she likes likes someone else. Younger me is happy very happy she has parents, and a good life."

"Well just give older you a little more time then." I nod as we pull up.

Awhile later I skip out of the hospital.

"Yay!!! I can walk again wait-" I instantly remember my wings. I can walk but for some reason I can't fly.

Sean buckles me up in the backseat. I am going to confront all of them as soon as I got home. I want answers.

The ride home is silent.

When we parked I run into the mansion and burst through the door. Charles, Hank, and Alex are waiting for us.

"Hey Rienna all better now?" Alex remarks and ruffles my hair.

"Yup," I respond popping the 'p.'

"Good for you!" Hank cheers, picks me up, and spins me around. I giggle and clap. Wait Rienna stay focused!!!

"Except for one tiny thing," I ad after Hank sets me down.

"Whats that sweetie?" Charles asks and pulls me into his lap.

"Wings," I state with a serious face.

"What about them?" Hank asks and nervously wrings his hands.

"Why won't work?" I demand.

"Well Rienna you see- Hank," Charles stops short and looks to Hank to explain.

"Well Angel kinda burned them off so-called," Hank starts carefully.

"You won't be able to fly," Alex explains. Just then my slowly healing emotions shatter all over again.

Why can't I ever be happy?

Why does life hate me?
