One Year and a Half Later
Iggy
Denver, Colorado
"Watch where you're going!" a bulky guy shouted at Iggy, pushing him roughly to the ground. Iggy could hear footsteps coming closer to his body, probably the jock and his idiot friends. He felt like he was the prey, while the the guys were the lions hungry for a mid time snack.
"You're so stupid," a second voice said.
"Maybe you should look around before you walk," the third voice sneered.
"Well maybe I can't because I'm blind," Iggy whispered, praying that they didn't hear him.
But of course they did.
The first guy yelled, "What did you say?"
A spark of courage erupted in Iggy. "Well maybe I can't look before I walk because I'm blind!" he spoke louder. "Now I have a class to get to." Iggy searched the floor for his walker. He grabbed it, slowly made himself stand up, and walked away, feeling proud.
Iggy felt so amazing and confident, like he could do anything, be anything.
Where the heck had that come from?
One Year and a Half later
Nudge
Miami, Florida
"TONIGHT LET'S GET SOME! AND LIVE WHILE WE'RE YOUNG!" Nudge shouted, singing along to her favorite song by her favorite band, One Direction. She danced around the room and squealed when her favorite part of the song came on. Nudge placed her hands together and did the infamous "row" dance move that she had seen the boys do so many times.
Nudge heard shouting from downstairs. "Monique! Get dressed this instant!" her mother called from the kitchen. "And turn down your music!"
Nudge rolled her eyes but turned off her song. She shuffled over to her closet door, which was covered in One Direction posters, and flung it open. She scanned her clothes and didn't find anything that she wanted to wear.
"Mom," she groaned. "I have nothing to wear!"
She could practically hear her mother sigh. "Yes you do sweetie. Now find something cute to wear. We need to leave in thirty minutes."
Nudge violently searched through her clothes. She finally picked out a some what decent outfit: a ruffled, no-sleeved purple top, jean shorts from Abercrombie and Fitch, and black ballet flats. She quickly tossed that on and headed to the bathroom to do her hair and makeup.
Nudge straightened her curly hair as fast as she could. When she was done with that, Nudge grabbed a few strands from the front, braided it, and pulled it back, securing it with a black bobby pin.
She applied a thin amount of foundation, then applied black mascara and eyeliner to her brown eyes. Nudge smeared a sparkly pink gloss on her lips, making them look glossy.
Nudge inspected herself in the mirror and sighed. She always wished she would be this gorgeous girl but sadly, Nudge always felt less than pretty.
Suddenly, Nudge got a vision of herself. She was sitting in the middle of nowhere, wearing a monstrosity of an outfit. The vision disappeared from her brain and Nudge shook her head in disbelief. With one last look, she exited the bathroom, where she headed downstairs to join her mom and go do some errands.
Nudge couldn't shake that weird feeling all day. She kept asking herself the same question all day.
What had she just witnessed?
Okay so Iggy, the shy blind kid, and Nudge, the insecure rich girl, are now introduced. Obviously they aren't like that in the books so their new life is really changing them, huh? Angel and Gazzy's lives will be introduced in the next chapter and then the plot will move. Read and review!
