Don't think there's anything too important to say about this one. It's not super long, mostly just a little insight into who the heck this Kataree girl is ^_^ Happy reading!
Changes...Chapter One
Kataree had never been "normal." Frighteningly intuitive, she was always the first to pick up on what everyone around her was feeling...sometimes even before they did. She had a much deeper understanding of life than almost everyone she knew, and as the years went by it caused her to slowly become more and more cynical. But despite the fact that she often sounded depressed when she talked, Kat was really a very optimistic girl. Now, her sophomore year of high school, fifteen years old, Kat was used to being the strange one. But never before had she been this strange. Really, Kat had been changing for a while. And she noticed...but it happened so gradually that it just didn't seem important. Over the past few years, she'd become a lot stronger-not necessarily physically, but mentally, spiritually, and most of all, emotionally. She was passionate-she was often described as "intense"-but she was also a control freak, and even when she did allow that side of herself to show, she never really let loose. She had trained herself to almost never cry by the time she was 8, and while she had recently allowed herself to show a bit more emotion, that training had carried over. Only a few of her closest friends ever really knew what Kat was feeling, and even they couldn't always figure her out. The changes that she discovered that fateful morning were merely a continuation of changes that had been going on for the better part of her life up to that point. The only oddity about these was the fact that they had happened so quickly.
As Kat pushed through that first day of school after discovering her mutation, she realized that other changes had happened that she hadn't noticed that morning. Her senses were incredibly acute, a fact that proved to be almost annoying as she could hear everything happening around her, whether she wanted to or not. By the end of her first class, Kat had decided that being a freak when no one could see that you were was more trying than one would expect. None of her friends saw her wings. She couldn't show anyone that she could hear their conversation from across the hall-who would understand that? But she couldn't show how much it hurt to keep it a secret. She had to be strong. So for as long as she could, Kat chose to build up the already near impenetrable walls guarding her heart. This was life now; all she could do was live with it, no matter how much it sucked.
