Part 1:

My eyes opened.. I looked at the alarm clock. 4:10 a.m. "Ugh.." I thought about the nightmare.. Again.. The same nightmare for the past three weeks ever since my eighteenth birthday.. Afraid to sleep I laid there staring at the ceiling.. It all felt so real.. I hated it. My back began to move like tectonic plates.. "Ergh... No.. Not right now.. Ugh.." Two big bumps started to form on my shoulder blades. My back cracked and slowly broke. My skin started to rip apart stretching so that my wings could come out and expand. But slowly they sheathed into my back like two blades.. Sweat had built up all over my body.. My head gradually feeling a sharp pain like a migraine.

I remember the first time they grew.. I was petrified... It was painful.. My back broke and twisted.. My bones clenched and cracked.. It happened on the night I turned ten.. It was the first time they grew in. They were just little nubs.. How was I suppose to know that they were wings.. When I had turned thirteen they grew even more and this time feathers began to grow.. At thirteen I didn't know who to tell.. I couldn't even tell my parents.. My dad always seemed distant but my mother.. She was an angel.. So kind.. Loving.. Caring.. But still.. Telling her was not an option.. I would hide randomly so no one could see my little Cupid wings when they would come, I would lie and say that I were at my friends or something that would get me through.

This is my last year of high school though how hard could it be to finish without everyone knowing.. right?.. Ugh.. Who am I kidding. It's going to be really hard. I was elected Homecoming King. I am on the football team as well. I am a wide receiver and sometimes I play running back. But all the people I know aren't my friends just people I talk to. One guy I know that will always have my back is Kenny. He and I have known each other all our lives. Not even blood could deny that we are brothers and he is the only person who knows my secret. The sad thing is I could never prove it so really, he doesn't believe me so I'm still trying to prove it to him but whatever.
