I woke in a cold sweat.I thought my heart would burst through my dream had been so...

In my dream I was walking in a castle hallway,when a hawk flew down and landed on my shoulder.
Then it jumped off,made a wide circle, and flew straight through me.

Thats when I woke.I glanced at my ! It was to get ready for school.I got up and went to brush my teeth.

Thats when I saw them through my white shirt.I was shocked.I had grown wings.I took off my shirt,and measured wingspan was sixteen feet. I may have looked like I was calm,but on the inside I was freaking out!

But,I could worry about it later.I had to get to school.I grabbed an old shirt and cut slits in it,put it on,threw on a hoodie,and ran to catch the I got to school,I was very very ,my first class was gym.

"Hey,Raven,wait up!" It was my best friend, came running up to me.
Jude was about three inches taller than had dark brown hair and green said he weighed about 130 pounds,but I didn't think that he was that heavy.

I was instantly as nervous as a 13 year old girl can be.
What if he could see my wings?"Hi"I said pulling my wings in so they were closer to my back."You don't look so good," he said with concern",you feel okay?" "Yeah,why?"I asked.
"You look a little pale."

The sub said she didn't care what we did,so my group of friends got was me,Jude,Jessie,Jake,Nicole,Danny,Riley,and were talking about somthing,but I paid no was when we had ten minutes left,that I asked to speak to Jude alone.

We went behind the bleachers and I said"You might want to sit."He sat.I took a deep breath and slid out of my hoodie."What" he asked. I smiled and turned was starting to get impatent"What!!" he nearly yelled.I knew all he saw was the two large slits,while he asked what I wanted I quickly unfurlled my sixteen feet of brown feathers.
