Hello, i have an idea for this so be patient. Please review, i want three before i continue.
I feel the car turn right as my mother Renee drives me to the airport. Feeling is one of the only senses I have. You see, I'm blind. Have been since i was born.
I hate it when anybody pities me, it makes me feel disabled. Ironic, since i am but i just want to be treated normally. Normal, what is the definition, anyway. Who can say who is normal.
My name is Edward. There really isnt much to say about me. I live with my mother in phoenix, but am moving to live with my dad in a rainy little town called forks. The reason being, my mother ,as much as i love her is waaay over protective. She let me go to school only because i had a guide follow me all day long. I dont know how i convinced her to let me move. I think Charlie, my dad, persuaded her. Did i mention how much i loved him?
Any way, my hobbies include playing piano, thats it. I have no friends at school because i was made fun of for being blind. Cruel, you think? Hopefully my new school will be more promising. I dont expect they will be any different but i dont mind much, because ive gone this far in life without friends, they are more like a luxery than a neccesity. Im pulled out of my revery by a sound coming from my left. Sniffeling, perhaps?
"Mom, are you crying again? Please dont worry about me, Charlie will take good care of me, I already told you id call very often." I said putting my arm around her trying to comfort her. This must be the hundreth time shes cried.
"I know, im just gonna miss my baby. I havent been this far from you since you were born. Im just a little sad." she said.
I gave her a little hug and heard her come to a stop. THis was it, i was finally leaving the place id been in my whole life. However, i wouldnt be missing it much, just missing my mother. She lead me to the plane and handed me over to the stewardess to take me to my seat.
"Hello, im kelly i will be helping you on this trip." she said. Is it just me or did she say it in a way that was supposed to be sexy or something? Uh oh.
"Im Edward, thank you" She left me alone in my seat after that thank goodness.
I sat in my seat thinking about the past. It was hard growing up blind, as you might expect. I had been lonely at times but forced myself to believe that I didnt need anyone to complicate my life. I thought about getting out my braille version of Romeo and Juliet but was too much in thought. Then i thought about what i looked like. I had asked Renee a long time ago to never tell me what i looked like. I didnt see the point if i couldnt see myself. Still to this day i dont know what i look like. Just then i felt a hand on my shoulder.
"This is kelly again, i just wanted to know if you wanted anything like some peanuts, a pillow, my number, a blanket..." she trailed off.
I said no thanks and she stomped off. What was that all about? She didnt really like me did she? Did she know i was blind? Whatever. I shook it off. I drifted off to sleep and woke up when i felt someone tapping me that i assmed was kelly.
"Its time to get off the plane" She said. I stood up and let her lead me outside. Charlie came up to us outside and gave me a hug. Charlie had come over to our house during the summer every summer.
"Hey edward, how are you" he asked leading me to the car.
"Fine, but tired and ready to start school" I said.
"Good, im glad your excited"
Excited is not the word the use, i thought. The drive went by quickly and when we got there i went straight to bed. I had been to his house before so i knew where everything was. I was nervous and a tad bit scared about school but shook it off as i went into a dreamless sleep.
'What did you think, Did you love it or hate it? I wont know unless you review so please do.
