.....................Luis's POV .....................

I run up all 7 flights of stairs, tripping on a few in the process. When I reach the top, I grip the door handle ,turning my knuckles white. My heavy breathing becomes shallower, as I pull open the door and step out into the crisp winter night. I take my last look at human civilisation. My laughter is lost in the wind as I outstretch my arms into it. My back soon adorns wings and my feet go upon tiptoes in anticipation. My transformation is now so quick and painless, I barley notice it. I look out towards the blackened sky and my heart skips a beat. There is only one thing left to do now ; jump.

Lacey's POV

"I'm so bored Lace!" Alexa whined, dramatically stretching out on her bed.

"Yeah Alexa, I know."

"Can I do your hair?" Alexa suggests, fluttering her eyelashes across the room towards me. I sighed. Alexa knew just how to get to me. I loved people messing around with my hair, and she knew it.

"Fine" I huffed, a small smile across lips as I pulled myself up onto her desk chair, in front of her mirror.

"Yay" Alexa exclaimed excitedly and was suddenly full of energy as she sprang up behind me and pulled my ponytail out, making me wince in pain.

"Oops sorry" she giggled and started brushing my long, straight brown hair.

I stared at Alexa through the mirror, watching her release my hair of tangles. I envied her piercing blue/green eyes, and long, wavy blonde hair. Her skin was tanned, mine was pasty white. She was just so beautiful, and then there was me. I always wondered why she chose to be my best friend, when there are so many other people better than me. One of the weirdest things about Alexa that I will never understand.

"All done, you look amazing!" Alexa squealed excitedly, snapping me out of my daydream, as she stepped back to admire her handiwork. I turned around to face the mirror and stared. She had crimped the whole of my hair, and then clipped a few strands away from my face.

"Well, what do you think?" she asked.

"Alexa...I look so...I mean, for once I look...pretty?" I seemed to be asking her, but she mearly just shrugged her shoulders and said that I always looked pretty.

We argued this out for a few minutes, teasing and tickling each other until we could hear Alexa's mum calling upstairs.

"Lunch girls, come on"

"Coming mum!" Alexa shouted back as she breathlessly shoved me once more, snatched up her phone and ran out the room shouting "Catch me if you can"

I smiled and shook my head at her. So immature, but so funny. My best friend. I grabbed my phone and ran out the room after her.
