Indigo
Fearful, but Daring
Fearful and daring do not usually go together, but Indigo, my only brother, is a perfect example to how someone can be fearful and daring at the same time.
Indigo has always been terribly afraid of heights. When he was eleven-years-old, he tried to cure his fear by sitting up in his windowsill and dangling his legs out the window. It took awhile, but eventually he cured himself.
Indy has a very good taste in music. (He often falls asleep while listening to his headphones. It is impossible to wake him) Indy says that all the kids at school want him to burn them CDs, but Indy says no (I do not think he hasn't quite forgiven them yet for flushing his head) The only time they got to enjoy Indy's music properly was at the Valentine disco one year.
Sarah was very upset because of the disco.
"But why is Sarah so fed up?" Indy asked.
"Becaaaaauuuuuuse," I told him. (Was he really that thick?) "She has a wheelchair."
Indy is dating Sarah. (it took him long enough). But at the time of the disco he was still feeling shy and he wanted to make Sarah happy by taking her to the disco. So he came up with a clever plan.
He talked to Oscar (the mad art student) and convinced Oscar to let him be in charge of the disco. Since the tickets are sold in pairs, (one of the reasons why so many people opt not to go) Indy decided to pair up compatible couples. This was an immediate success. Indy paired himself with Sarah. And he paired Saffron with David. Which left poor Oscar.
Oh dear.
So that is how I got to go to a Big School disco when I was only ten-years-old.
It was the best disco the school ever had. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Even Sarah (she and Indy only danced to the slow songs).
Now Sarah and Indy laugh and laugh about Indigo's Valentine Disco.
"It was all very daring of you," says Sarah, pecking Indy on the cheek.
So it was. That is how Indigo does Special.
