Rise of the Wings

For as long as Baylee can remember the world has had wings from the moment they were born. The color, pure white to midnight black, showed your character. You marry a person with the same color as you because that's the person you fall in love with. Once she reaches freshman year of high school, however, a boy with the blackest wings caught her eye. He didn't act like she's seen others with dark wings who were cruel and unforgiving. He was shy and kind, never acted out. To people who saw the way the two looked at each other, it seemed obvious; they were meant for each other. They didn't think anything of it, though. Just friends, they kept telling themselves. But, in the back of their minds they wondered if the others were right. Could two different color wings fall in love with each other?
