…..
The next day went by quickly, nobody asked about what we did last night.
After dinner, the flock went to go milk cows or something but I just stayed in my room.
I just sat, laying there and relaxing, listening to my favorite song on the iPhone that Anne had bought me. She bought all of us an iPhone actually. How much money did this lady have?
I smiled, swaying and singing along to the song,
Human by Christina Perri
I can hold my breath I can fake a smile I can do it But I'm only human I can turn it on I can do it But I'm only human I'm only human I can take so much 'Cause I'm only human
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I'll get through it
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
'Til I've had enough
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
Ironic, right? My favorite song is Human, and yet, I'm not even human. Only 98%.
"ZOMG!" I heard Nudge shriek as she burst into our room.
I blushed scarlet. Had she heard me sing?
"You're amazing at singing!" Nudge shrieked again.
"I'm not that good…" I tried to protest but she cut me off.
"Snow, you're amazing! You have to try out for like, American Idol or The Voice or something!" Nudge grinned.
I blushed redder. "No way! I will never do that! EVER!"
Nudge started to protest but Angel popped her head in.
"Snow, Nudge, we're going for a fly, you coming?" She asked, her eyes shining.
I nodded. "Oh thank god let's go!"
….
We were just flying around, even Total. Well Iggy was holding him. But still.
"Look bats!" Nudge suddenly called out.
I looked. There were hundreds, maybe even thousands of them flying over to us.
"My ears hurt," Total complained.
"It's their echolocation," Iggy explained. "It's way cool. I'm trying to concentrate, so be quiet for a minute."
Total huffed but settled down.
I flew around with Max and Nudge, we circled around and then Gazzy burst in and hit Nudge on the back with his wing.
"You're IT!" He snickered and flew away.
I started to fly away but then Max just ZOOMED OFF. I mean, very freaking fast, maybe up to 300 mph.
Everyone stared in shock as she finally got back, her hair blown back by the wind.
She was laughing and I grinned at her.
"You have warp drive," Gazzy said faintly.
"I want to ride with you," Total wriggled out if Iggy's arms and jumped into Max's.
She held out her arms and he licked her, which she made a face at.
"What was that, Max?" Asked Angel.
"I think I just developed a new skill," She said, smiling.
"I don't even have that power yet!" I joked and Max laughed.
Wait actually I think I do.
FLASHBACK:
I have to meet up with the flock in New York. So I flew incredibly fast at 250 mph, getting there in less than 15 minutes.
BACK TO STORY:
Oh. I guess I do. Cool.
