"My house is that-a-away so I'll see you later," Jupiter informed. Celeste sighed and nodded and went the opposite direction of Jupiter. She casually put her bag to the side of her waste and presumed walking to her house.
"Oops." She accidentally tripped and fell onto a boy. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to…" The boy looked as if he was twenty and blind. He also looked furious. Before Celeste could back away she bumped into a girl with ratty blonde hair who looked the same age as the man.
"Oh god," Celeste said, "I am so sorry…"
"Its…. Its alright," the man said. Celeste's worried look softened.
"Thank… you," she managed to say and ran off. That was the most embarrassing thing she had ever done. How could that poor blind man be so forgiving? I would have slapped someone if they shoved me like that. Celeste walked on, scared and embarrassed as ever bumping into that strange, skinny group of kids who had an expression on their faces like they had been through a tough time. Maybe they're orphans, Celeste thought, Maybe their parents died in front of their eyes.
Sick to her stomach, Celeste opened the door to her house and was welcomed by her mother.
"Read this weeks Time," her mother informed, "It's really interesting."
Bird Kids Revealed
Have you ever spotted extremely large birds soaring through the sky? Nudge (12), Max (15), Iggy (15), The Gasman (8), and Angel (6) are five avian bird hybrids that are making an impact on the world. Fang (age 15) mysteriously disappeared a month ago, leaving a big impact on "the Flock."
Celeste didn't read the rest and stared, mesmerized, at the picture. The man and woman! They were the bird kids! But they looked 20… How could they be a year younger than her? She needed to see them again! She needed to apologize… And who was Fang? Why did he leave? She needed her questions answered.
