I wasn't able to sleep last night because of what happened and the fact that I started my first day at my new school in the morning. So I stayed up all night typing on my laptop. I got dressed and went down stairs.
My outfit was a purple shirt with a jean jacket over. The jean jacket had two slits in the back that were cuffed by leather, thanks to Eric, and just the regular jean pants. I had breakfast that included cereal and apple juice. I walked to the refrigerator, grabbed my lunch and shoved it in my bag.
"Mom, I'm going to school now," I yelled so she could hear me from up in her room.
"Okay," she yelled back "be nice."
The thing my mom didn't understand was that I was always nice, but I can't really say the same for the people I didn't know. I always end up making a few friends, but none I could really call my best friend.
I walked out the door and down the street to the bus stop. I checked the time on my watch, I was early but I didn't mind. Eric ran up to the bus stop with a peace of toast still in his mouth.
"Hi," I said while he tried to catch his breath "I thought you had a car." Remembering how on the way here he almost chopped off my head.
"Hey, yeah, I do but it's in the shop," he said each word after a huff or wheeze "I saw you out here so I came as fast as I could." He looked and smiled. I smiled back.
"Does this school have a uniform," I asked when I saw sweater vest and tie.
"Yes," he said laughing, "Didn't you know?"
"No," I said with a sick face on. I hate schools that had uniforms I usually tried to avoid them if I could.
"Well," he said the smile on his face gone now "you better find another way to get to school. They don't let you ride the bus if you don't have your uniform on."
"What! That's not right, you're joking. Right?" I looked into his eyes. His dark brown eyes looked dead serious.
"I don't believe you," I said crossing my arms over my chest and turned away from him.
"Fine, see for your self," he said as the bus pulled up to the stop and open the doors.
"Hope on," said the bus driver "Ah, good morning Eric, how's Maverick?"
"He's good," said Eric as he past the man and sat down in a front seat.
"Sorry little girl," said the bus driver holding his hand out to stop me "no uniform, no ride."
"But, I'm new here," I said trying to look cut and innocent.
"Sorry kind, find another was," he said ignoring my face.
The doors on the bus closed in front of me. Then I got an idea. Thanks for the jacket Eric. I ran after the bus staying out of site from the driver, then I jumped up and spread my wings them slipping smoothly through the slits in my jacket. I tried flapping them but I fell back onto the road still running. One more try. I jumped, unfurled my wings, big and black. They caught the current and flew me into the air, and next thing I know I'm standing onto of the bus. I tucked in my wings and laid down on the roof.
The bus stopped many timed to pick kid up. None of them looked at me lying there on the bus.
Finally the bus stopped at a large building that must be the school. I was still angry with the bus driver so I walked over to the front of the bus over the front window. I locked my knees over the bar and slowly bent to hang upside-down and looked inside the bus.
The bus drivers' back was to me and he was talking to all the kids. Slowly everyone noticed me but they didn't say anything. The bus driver evidently saw that the kids were looking at something behind him instead of listening to his story. He quickly turned around and saw nothing, because I pulled myself back up. I herd little giggles from some of the girls.
I bent down again to look in and his back was again toward me. I stuck my tongue out at the bus driver and everyone laughed. The bus driver didn't turn, so I cuffed my hands around my ears encouraging them to laugh louder. To my amazement everyone started to scream with laughter. Then the bus driver turned around.
"Boo," I said making him jump, and everyone laughed. I smiled and jumped on the hood of the bus. Everyone started to clap so I felt it was the right time to bow and people laughed.
I jumped off the bus, and the bus driver opened the door. Everyone crowded me laughing and clapping, and then I was yanked out of the crowd by the bus driver.
"I told you, you couldn't ride in the bus," he said his face turning red.
"I didn't," I said staring into his eyes, which made him step back "I rode on the bus not in it." Everyone laughed again and sucked me back in, then again I felt someone pull me by the arm and tugged me out of the crowed.
"Come on," said Eric as he pulled me into the building. He was laughing and smiling along with everyone else. He pulled me into a room with the word Information over the door. When we came in no one was there just a big desk and a hallway that lead to other offices.
"You sure know how to make an entrance," he said still holding my arm but not as tight as before.
"Was it good," I asked then his looked stunned and questioning "you see, I've been to many schools, sense my mom likes to move so much, that I've done a different type of entrance to every school I go to." His face still stunned and questioning so I continued.
"And I found that a big laugh is the best," I finished then I smiled looking up at him.
Then to my shock he rapped his arms around me to where they were over my wings and he hugged me tight against his chest.
"I can't believe you can smile the day you found out that you had wings," he whispered in my ear "it took me a month." I froze. I could feel the shock role across my face. He did have wings.
"Like you said, they suit me," I said still a little shocked "like-""A black angel that fell from heaven," he said finishing my sentence.
"Exactly," I said smiling up at him. He leaned in looking like he did the other night, like he was going to kiss me again, then the bell rang and a women walked into the room.
"See you," Eric said as he walked out the door and to his class. He moved so fast I still felt the warmth of his arms on my back over my wings.
"My I help you," asked the little secretary like women. She wore a gray shirt and big glasses that magnified her eyes. I could tell she didn't get out much and probably was single.
"Yes," I said stepping closer so she could see who was talking "my name is Heaven and this is my first day here."
"Ah, I see" she said squinting at a piece of paper "here is your schedule and here is a map of the school. Would you like an escort?"
"No thank you, I think I got it," I said walking out the door "Oh love your hair," and as I walked out I saw her smile nice and big, as she patted the bun on top of her head.
I laughed as I walked down the hall, and then looked at my schedule.

"That's nice," I said talking to myself "my classes are close together" I smiled and walked down the hall to my first class.
