Wings Of Grace 1

Pic of Night

"Nobody." That's the word usually associated with me. That one girl who wears the beenie and big glasses she doesn't even need. You could imagine my surprise when one of the most beautiful males to ever grace Southwest highschool noticed me. Cody was...perfect. Tall. Big brown eyes. Muscles. Brown hair. Football player. He could make me laugh and made me feel..I don't know..special. Course that didn't stop the never-ending crap he got for dating a freak. Let's not to mention my name didn't help with the whole "I'M NOT A FREAK!!" response. Night Thavinette. The name given to me by two madly in love hippies who had me, the love child. They said that my black hair either called for the name Raven or Night. I'm glad the didn't choose the latter option, Raven for a dark-haired child is so expected.

Any way back to Cody. We had, what I thought at the time, was love. Something pure and strong. You can imagine how I felt when I see him lip locked with the school barbie Kali..devastated. I went back to friendless loser who got picked on even more because I was "rejected."..That's such a harsh word don't you think? Rejected? I just barried myself in my school work. Letting every word slide past me. I swear I haven't used my voice once in school since Cody left me.

Our school decided to take a field trip to Wings Of Grace. A school for the Angel Kids. Angel Kids are a species of humans, for some reason or another, was chosen to become..immortal and a higher power. Scientists have studied them but..no one knows WHY. Everyone was super nervous. Angel Kids look down on us normal kids. We're dust to them. I mean, they are...godly...and inhumanly gorgeous. And to make the day worse I had to sit in the bus seat RIGHT in front of Kali and Cody.
I could hear her high-pitched squeely voice. "I just KNOW some day, the Angels will pick me."

"Well why shouldn't they, you're already my angel." I heard Cody say.
It made my stomach churn. "Oh gag." I whispered to myself. But Kali kicked my seat making me lose my breath. Her little hag friends laughed with her. Finally the bus stopped and I was the first off, getting as far away from them as possible. The school was..beautiful. It had huge windows and the light just seemed to...point at it directly. Making the white paint seem to have an unearthly glow. It was monstrous chunk of land tucked way into a beautiful forest. It almost looked like a little town of big Victorian houses, and then a GIANT building which I was guessing was the school. It took my breath away.

There were a few students walking around outside, all their eyes went to us. They didn't look mean...just..curious. Plus their beautiful faces didn't look like they could even make an angry look..so pure and perfect. Each of them had huge beautifully colored eyes that seemed to sparkle. It took my breath away. "Right this way kids." An extremely handsome man with thick black hair and golden eyes said. His perfect smile making me choke back a gasp. In a daze I followed him.

"Welcome to Wings of Grace. This school, as many know, house the Angel Kids. Also the full Angels whom teach here. We nurture each Angel so they become pure and whole." He said walking us through the campus, pointing out the different houses and stores that were on the campus since Angel Kids were only allowed out in the normal world once a month till becoming full Angels. Every where I went the beautiful humans amazed me...i just wanted to reach out and touch one of them..

"Stop!" A woman screamed making our group stop as her icy voice crawled up our spines. Her long wild curly gold hair was pulled over her shoulders. Her pure black irises were...stunning. She walked straight up to me, inches from my face. I could feel everyone's eyes on me. "The goddess...she seems to...favor you child." The girl's voice whispered to me.
"W-what?" I blinked.
"You..you are to be chosen." She said louder. People gasped. I wasn't able to comprehend..because faster than lightning..but oh so gentle, she grabbed my face and pressed her lips to my forehead. Shocks of lightning filled me and everything went black.
-------------
I groaned softly..what in the world..why was I in so much pain??? My eyes opened and I gasped, like waking from a bad dream. "shh shh everything will be ok." A voice cooed. I flashed my eyes to where it was coming from to see the girl who had kissed my forehead.
"W-what's going on?!" I cried out.
"Oh. Ya know. You passed out..."
"Oh..why?"
"Cause...you just became, an Angel Kid." She grinned.

I just stared at her like she was crazy. Me? Angel kid? Ha! Kali I could expect, being perfect and all. But me? never. She saw the disbelief in my face and trusted a mirror in my face. I turned it slowly...then screamed and dropped it.

The girl's smile broke into full on beaming and she laughed. "Your GORGEOUS!!!" She shrieked. I started hyperventilating making the girl laugh harder. "You're taking this a lot better than I did. I fainted again." And just as she said that I felt darkness closing in. "Woah woah!! Don't lose now!" She chuckled holding me back up. "Look again. And don't forget to breathe." I looked at her and gave her a nod. I reached down with a shaky hand and picked the mirror back up. I was used to shoulder length hair..but the girl staring back had thick beautiful black hair past her breasts. Her once almost round face was heart-shaped and delicate. Bangs swept across her forehead and her wide eyes which use to be a dull dark blue were now light and brilliant framed with thick black eyelashes. Her once imperfect skin was now...flawless. I'd always wanted to be beautiful..this this was..beyond what I'd ever hoped for. Tears flooded from my eyes.

"I know I know it's a lot to take in. Go home with your school, but leave right away, don't finish the day. Go and pack your clothes and get straight back before your wings start to grow. Okay? My name is Tara. I'll be your roommate." I just nodded mechanically and stood slowly. "Our favorite teacher, Mr. Meverrit, the guy giving the tour, will drive you personally to get your stuff from your locker and home. He'll even explain everything to your parents for ya. Everything will be ok." She smiled and I felt better. I stood up slowly and realized I was at least 4 inches taller and I had grown boobs and a nice shape.

"Woah.." I whispered and Tara laughed. I stood and walked with a grace that I had never had. I felt eyes on me from the Angel Kids I passed. Great. I'm the new girl. I pulled my hood over my head and went out front where the handsome man waited for me.
"Hello Night. How are you feeling?'
"Like someone just melted then refroze my bones."

He chuckled and patted my back softly. "It goes away in a few hours." I got in his car and stared out the window the whole time. Finally we arrived at my school. Quickly I ducked my head as I scurried through school. I could hear my name being whispered excitedly in everyone's group as everyone told and retold the story. At least no one has seen m- OOF!! I ran into something hard knocking me onto my back. My hood flew off and my dark hair spilled around me. Everyone gasped and stared.

My ivory cheeks filled with blood as the most intense blush I'd ever had played on my cheeks. I looked up to see Cody gaping at me and Kali looking like she was about to explode. Her hand came down and gripped the neck of my hoodie and she hoisted me onto my feet. "How DARE you embarrass me by getting picked instead of me!!"
"I-I didn't mean to.." My voice had a new huskiness...it was...sexy? Everyone gasped again at the sound.
"Stop doing that! Now your all perfect!? No! You'll always be little no one Night. Little freak Night." And with that..i pushed her away.

"You listen to me you blonde BITCH. I've been teased and taunted by your friends since the sixth grade. I'm SICK of it. Do you know how many times I went to bed crying because of the things you said?! You're a no good selfish daddy's girl who doesn't she what she has. Everyone agrees with me that you're a stuck up snob but no one has the guts to tell you. So seeing as I NEVER have to see your stupid face again, I'll tell you. Get. Over. Yourself. Kay?" And the hall was silent. Kali's eyes were wide with horror. I grinned and went to my locker pulling out my stuff then walked out of the school, my head high. Next stop? Home.
