Hi! Thank you so much for those who read and commented!!!:D And now, here's more of Starlight!



2. First Day

The next day, I rose up with the sun and Kyle and Annie decided to hunt before the first day of school——so I got ready. Annie had laid out an outfit for me to put on after my shower.

It was a lovely v-neck brown long-sleeve fitted shirt (and I always wear a backless tank-top underneath whatever I'm wearing since when I summon my wings, they tear right through the clothing) with blue jeans and the same brown sandals she wore yesterday.

I brushed my long, thick, mahogany brown hair which had grown to my waist-line and I noticed that the brown shirt really brought out my chocolate brown eyes——I wonder if that was Annie's goal?

So after I brushed my teeth, I walked out and found Kyle and Annie ready to go.

"I love that top!" Annie squealed, smiling proudly.

Kyle shook his head and handed me a black tote bag.

"Here's your book bag," he said, and I draped it over my shoulder, barely feeling the weight of it——which is major progress on my physical strength and abilities.

"Yeah, and all of your books, folders, and pencils are already in there." Annie explained as we walked out of the house.

"We'll go and buy a car after school today——for now we'll have to run there." Kyle said as we took off running through the forest.

"Ooooo, can we get a truck?" I asked eagerly to Kyle. I don't know why, but ever since I drove in one with Kyle, I've wanted one since.

He laughed, and looked back at me with that loving twinkling in his eyes that only my sweet big brother had because he loved me so much, and he smiled.

"We'll see," he promised while Annie was being careful not to get her brown ruffled skirt and pink sweater dirty.

Along the way to the school, Annie——using her unique gift——cloaked our true presence. That way if there are inhuman beings around, we will smell like the humans——even seem as human beings, we call it the cloak and illusion trick. This is how we've been living since I woke up——cloaking and running.

We arrived and all three of us went off to our first classes . . . Well, this is going to be interesting . . .

After first period, English, I journeyed to my locker——which was a handy storage space for all of these thick textbooks.

"Uh, hey . . ." A boy walked up to me while I put away some of my books into the steel locker.

I turned and looked at a boy who was probably the same age as me, he had spiky blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a friendly smile.

"Hi," I greeted him, smiling openly and he just stood there and marveled at me——forgetting to breathe. Shoot! I forgot about the major effect I have on people by just looking at them.

He quickly blinked and breathed in before he smiled back at me again.

"Hey, so I'm guessing you're new here, I'm Mike Newton," he said, holding out his hand for a customary hand shake that I've only seen Annie and Kyle do to people who greet them.

So I took his hand and shook it gently.

"My name is Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella," I said, and it seemed, as he let go of my hand, he was reluctant to do it.

"Hey, Mike!" A girl shouted enthusiastically, running up to him. She was short, skinny, and had wildly curly dark hair.

"Oh, hey Jessica." Mike said back, not so enthusiastic.

Jessica smiled warmly——a little too warmly.

"It's so great to see you again!" she said, then her eyes slid to me. "And who's this?" she asked, still friendly, though the corners of her eyes tightened up a bit, sensing me as a potential threat.

Mike perked up a bit. "This is Bella Swan. Bella, this is Jessica Stanley."

"Hello Jessica. Nice to meet you," I said politely, shaking her hand while she became completely charmed by my presence and voice.

"H-hi, nice to meet you too," she stammered a bit before turning back to Mike. "So I guess I'll see you later!" she said eagerly, walking away in her black heels.

"Right . . . later . . ." Mike mumbled under his breath uncomfortably and I looked back at him. It was there in his face too.

"Ex-girlfriend?" I guessed, and he sighed and nodded while I laughed——humans are so amusing . . . I wish I could live a life so carefree . . . normal.

Yeah, wishful thinking Bella. You were never human——and you'll never be remotely similar to human . . . what's done is done, you can't change the past.
