Spread your wings

Chapter 2

I smiled. "Yes?," I asked once all the students had left.

"Well," Miss Mia started. "You are never failing your grades and I think you have great potential. Already you have handed in your assignment for next term and you are ahead by four years. I'm asking.. why?."

I sighed. "I honestly don't wannt to be. I want to be a normal teenager with a caring family, a teenager that gets on easy with everyone, that's not too overly smart and is not bullied. But i'm none of those. I have accepted it," I finish. Miss Mia takes my hands and smiles warmly at me. then her smile turned into a frown and she looked down at our hands.She lifted up my sleeves and stared down at my wrists.

Shit.

She saw the cuts.

"What's this?," She asked. I gulped.

"Scars," I reply, barely a whisper.

"Sing please?," She asked.

"Sing?."

"Yes."

So I do. I start to sing a song that means a lot to me. Wings by little mix.

"mama told me not waste my life,

She said, spread your wings my little butterfly,

don't let what they say keep you up at night,

and if they give you Shh,

then they can walk on by," I sing it all with my heart and soul. When I finish, Miss Mia is nearly in tears.

"It's beautiful, your voice. "Spread your wings, Your time to shine will come. You have a talent. Use it."

I nodded, not knowing what to say. I feel like i have something to live up to now. We just stood there, both of us lost in our own thoughts. The bell broke the silence and I smiled at her. "Thank you," i said and walked out of the classroom to lunch.

I waved at Leon as he walked up to me. Let me tell you something about Leon. His real name is Logan but he hates it with a passion. I have no idea why. Honestly, I love the name Logan and i'm going to call my son Logan, after his uncle Leon. Leon plays guitar and drums. Over all, he loves music and often muys me CDs. We have the same taste in music, luckily. 

"Astyr!," He yelled and ran up to hug me. He hugged me as i said,

"Logan!." Yeah, I'm not calling him Leon.

He rolls his eyes and turns to a boy next to him. "Astyr, meet Hunter."
