When I take off my glasses, I never want to look in the mirror. I'm afraid of what I'll see, that I won't see me but will see an alien. I never go anywhere without my glasses. Ever. I put them on my bedside table at night and put them on before I turn off the alarm in the morning. I don't want to see the skin beneath my black, thick rimmed, cinema like glasses that cover the area around my eyes. I try to convince myself to look at the mirror without my glasses but I'm too scared. I'm scared of change. Just letting my hair down gives me the shivers. I always have it in a pony.
Across from me, on the apartment on the opposite side of the road live my bubble-gum-pink haired best friend Natsu. We've known each other since we could walk, we've always been together, and today, we enter year eight, or our eighth year of schooling, our second year at Fairy Tail Secondary College. I have a feeling that this year, everything is going to change.
