A/N: This came to me last night and I really didn't want to lose it so here's this new series of one-shots by moi (Sky) for the flock.
Disclaimer: I don't own MR, but I have all the books upstairs so maybe I do own them… nah. jkjk
Iggy
It occurred to me after we'd already left Anne Walker's house. Go figure.
That Jessica girl. I can't remember her name very well now. It all kind of blends together. I'm hoping it was Jessica. I know she said she was really tall. That they all thought she was a freak because of what she looked like.
Anne Walker confused me pretty bad. I was totally lost with all the stuff that had happened at school because I never learned much there that I didn't already know. As my general "over-view" (Get it?), it downright sucked.
As we were flying, my thoughts crossed back to the school and all the noises resounded and echoed in my skull. She had somehow come back and I was caught up in her words now. Weird…
I'm blind. That doesn't bother me. But I realized something as the jet-streamed winds lifted me higher into the sky and the clouds closed in around me with their cold pressurized air.
Especially for me, it doesn't matter what's on the outside, mostly because I can't see it. So that's the slight problem. If I ever decided to date another non-mutant, it would be the inside that would count. I'm blind. Appearance doesn't really matter to me.
I did a little dive-bomb, my wings brushing someone else's. I assumed Nudge or Angel. They were too soft for Fang or Max's worn feathers.
Jessica helped me appreciate something that most other people would never understand. I can't see people. Therefore, I can't judge them before I meet them. It's all in their personalities. If I ever "saw" (Man, I crack myself up!) Jessica again, I'd have to thank her. The girl did me a huge favor by showing me the truth that not many other people actually think about, but it's the only thing I have to rely on.
Wings soared a bit lower to come down beneath me. "Ig, what's up?" Max asked. "We were coasting with the current and you just disappeared underneath us!" Then she was a silent. "I'm glaring at you, Iggy."
"Just admiring the view." A thin smirk crossed my lips. Yeah, I must admit I'm hysterical.
"Come on. It's easier if we're up here." Her hand brushed mine and I let the faster paced air lift me back with the flock again.
Sometimes being blind has its perks. I get to make dumb excuses and no one asks me again because they're too pissed the first time.
Gazzy was to my right. I knew where he was because of the wind blowing slightly towards me. Fang usually took his place on top of the stack with Max right below him and in the lead. Nudge and Angel kept closer to the bottom of the group near the warmer air. It becomes patterns that I memorize.
Thanks Jessica. You've shown me the good things that happened because of my lost sight.
A/N: It's true tho. I'm amazed it never occurred to him, but I was flipping through my manga for about the millionth time (since Tuesday at least). Thanks to Jessica (I'm hoping that was her name. I'm not getting up to check because I'm on a roll.) Next is Fang and it's already planned in my head. Most of it at least. Please review!
