Chapter 2

"So…," Max began, "Iggy, what would you do if you got your eye-sight back?"

I froze. That was the first time anyone has ever asked me that.

"Um… I don't know?" I was in to much of a state of shock to think correctly.

"Come on Ig, there has to be something that you're dying to see," Fang said.

A few silent moments went by before I answered. "Well… I would love to see Ella smile."

Angel and Nudge "awwwwwed" together and I could imagine the Gasman pretending to barf.

"Ok, Ok, everyone settle down. We'll continue this conversation later," Mrs. Martinez said.

Everyone went back to eating. That's when I noticed Ella hadn't said a word throughout the conversation.

ELLA POV

All I could do was sit there and listen. My mouth was dry. How could they bring up something like that and no tell me before? I barely even heard Iggy's sweet comment on my smile. I could feel Max's stare has she tried her hardest to figure me out. I had no idea what to think about if Iggy got his eye-sight back. It's just too much to process at the moment.

When everyone finished dinner, I immediately went to my room and closed my door. I needed to think.

IGGY POV

I heard Ella rush to her room right after dinner. I heard the door close and knew the eye-sight thing caught her off guard. I heard Max tell her Mom that she was going to talk to her. When Max left the table I went to go clean up the kitchen.

MAX POV

What's wrong with Ella? During dinner she was acting very strange. I wish that I had known her longer so I can understand her as easy as I do with the Flock.

ELLA POV

I heard a knock on my door. Somehow I knew it was Max, so I didn't answer. Max walked in, "Ella?"

"Yeah Max?" I replied my back facing her. She came and sat down next to me after she closed my door.

"You ok?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just kind of tired," I told her.

"That's it?" she asked, and I knew she was hoping that she could understand me better.

"Yup," I said.

"Ok, well… Good night," she said and walked out of my room. She closed the door silently behind her. When she was far down the hall, I voiced my thoughts softly, so Iggy wouldn't hear,

"What if he doesn't like how I look?"
