Can You See Me Now?

I need my music ~Chapter one~

                                                      ~Chapter one 'Just Another Morning'~

             I woke to my alarm singing 'What I've Done' by linkin park.Unlike like most though I don't groan and slam my hand down on the button to shut it up,well i do groan but i need the music vibrations.I'll explain, just give me a second. I reach over pulling my glasses off my night stand and slipping them on my face, though it doesn't make a difference I do it any ways . The music going full blast, I stand slowy and stretch,shuffling my way to my bathroom, side stepping random items I have laying on the floor. I do the usaul and stand in front of the mirror a moment, I use the vibrations from the music to know where it's at,I sigh and turn away from the mirror but just as I'm about to leave the bathroom,my music goes off.Greeaaatttt. 

     I better explain why i need the music and why the glassses don't help. Well, long story short,I'm blind. No, i was not born this way, it slowly happened over time, But since I wasn't born this way,my eyes stayed the same dark chocolate brown they always were,and i use that to my advantage. I wear black and clear sparkly glasses,the ones i wore before i went blind,my name printed in silver on the side,Faith,  so poeple don't know i am. How do I get around if no one knows? When i went blind my other senses got stronger,especially my sense of touch and sound. When something hits against something else there are vibrations, i use these to get around, whether it be someones foot falls, or a car driving by, i use the vibrations, also the air , i can hear if something is coming to me through the air by the way the wind whistles. I go to regular school and everything, I just tap my desk as i write so i can 'see' the paper.                                                                                   

     I slowly stick my foot out and then my hands, reaching out blindly for my dresser, i feel it and scoot my way over to it slowly to i don't trip then i shuffle across the hard wood floor,stomping everynow and then so i can 'see', till i finally reach my bed and fumble for the play button on my alarm, this time it plays 'Yeah' by Usher. I shake my head and can finally make my way to the closet having to lay each outfit against the wall, so the vibrations would run up it and i could 'see' what it looked like. I ended up wearing a fitted t with a heart on it that looks like it had been stitched, the colors, i couldn't tell you, and jean shorts with a studded belt.

     I walk out my front door, my mom having already left for work, eating an apple, my whole morning ordeal taking about 30 minutes with my music on shuffle the whole time.As i walk to the end of our drive i listen closely to the sounds of the cars, feeling the vibrations it's almost as if i can really see. I sigh, knowing I'm wishful thinking, I turn right onto the side walk and follow it until i can hear the voices of other people my age and slightly older, I'm 14, heading to the 9th grade this year, and today is the first day of school. I decide to hang back since i can't hear my friends voices, I lean against the fence behind the bus stop and fiddle with a string on the hem of my shirt.

      I hear the foot steps and breathing of the person before they are really up on me, so just as the person grabs for me i step forward causeing the person the fall with a grunt. I smile down at the person and laugh, holding out my hand i mutter, "Shouldn't you know better by now, Kross?", Kross takes my hand and shakes his head trying to fix his hair by what i can tell, I hear Larkin laugh behind him as she steps up next to me, they are the only ones who know I'm blind. Kross sighs and leans against the fence, running a hand through his hair, i can hear his hand going through it, he mumbles,"stupid super senses.", and pouts. I'm about to say something back but stop when i feel the vibrations of the bus just down the road, i motion to the road and feel Kross and Larkin look around me and down the road at the up coming bus.

      I sigh as it stops and wait for the stamped of people to slow before i try to make it on, Larkin puts a hand on my shoulder and gets on first, stomping harder then needed so i can hear when to step, Kross gets behind me to make sure i don't fall. I've got wonderful friends. The steps of Larkin stop and i hear the groan and swish of a bus seat as she sits, Kross pushes my slightly in that direction though i already can 'see' it but they take it to over board. I slide in beside Larkin and Kross slips in beside me, We talk for a moment until i hear the wind change in sound. I reach up grabbing a paper wad in mid air just before it hits Kross in the head, with a flick of my wrist i send it back, smiling as i hear the 'thump'  of it hitting someone, after that nothing else was thrown.

    Don't ya just love mornings?
