Wonder The Movie
Alexander Kolz usually sat alone, sketching in his overused notebook or listening to unrevealed music. Nobody has seen his intricate drawings, not even a glimpse. The only thing girls care about are his swoon-worthy appearance. After his parents died in a car wreck with Alec driving, he choose to be with his only companions: grief and misery. The mask he wears is transparent; fooling people by his dull emotions, but certainly not me.
I, Karma Valentina, turn a blind eye to all the rumors feasting upon the minds of our peers about him. I never contribute to the torture like the others, maybe that's why he uncovered his notebook for me. Maybe that's why I got to see the simple sketch of my blue eyes engraved in his notebook with simple, delicate strokes.
I wouldn't have thought, with my simple act of kindness, that both of us would storm through our pasts together, battling thought them side-by-side. We act like strangers, allowing silence to swallow us up, but we both know the storms that ripped our umbrella away and left us shivering. But never in a million years would I have thought, Alexander would drag the sun into my field of darkness and warm me up with his body heat when it got rough.
