Who ever said Patience is a Virtue? When you are young, that thought is just plain annoying. What does that phrase even mean? My Dad would say, "Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting." Waiting for what you ask? Waiting to get into college, waiting to get accepted into your major, waiting to graduate, waiting to find the right job, waiting on your boards to say you passed so you can start working, and waiting on marriage. That is my life. Waiting! My parents want to see me find the guy of my dreams and get married, just like all my siblings. My sister married her high school sweetheart. Both of my brothers found their wives during their Sophomore year in college. And here I am. I have just finished my junior year of college, I have already been asked by two different guys to marry them, obviously neither of them were the right guy, and all I have to say is... THE THIRD ONE BETTER BE THE CHARM! I know, stop yelling in your own head. It's just not pretty when you talk to yourself! Deep breath in... deep breath out. Remember, "Patience is a Virtue." Oh, by the way, my name is Brinnley Lewis, and this is my story.

An Academy/ Ghost Bird Fanfic. Inspired by the characters and story by C.L. Stone. This story contains characters that are similar to the Ghost Bird ones , but not quite the same. The world looks like ours to the general public, but hidden in the shadows are horrifying creatures and the extraordinary humans who hunt them. Selene does not look anything like her parents and her eyes are uncanny- leaving her parents unsettled. Especially since they never wanted a child anyway. As she grows, she asks about things no one else can see or feel - which only makes things worse. The world is much too dangerous for Selene- no one will understand and will only try to hurt her. She is hidden away in her parents' large and lonely house- for her own good of course. Her life changes forever though one late afternoon when she finds that her wooded backyard is no longer the sanctuary she has always counted on. She learns that the world is a terrifying place, but not for the reasons her mother has always given her.- But more importantly, 5 young men will show her that she truly is a treasure - one that they have been desperately searching for. I have rated this a mature because I am not sure exactly where this story will go...
