Fang
The name rang through my head, as I vacantly stared at the board.
What had that all meant, I thought. I don't remember meeting a guy named Fang, but then why did his features feel so… normal?
The weird vision had been haunting me all day. I still couldn't figure why it felt so significant to me.
"Ms. Ride!" Mr. Hernandez yelled at me, slamming a book onto my desk. "Por favor, preste atención."
I rolled my eyes. Mr. Hernandez didn't like me since I never payed attention in Spanish.
"Sí señor, lo siento," I replied and he walked away from my desk. "Gosh..."
"Ahora la class," Mr. Hernandez started up again. "Repetir después de mí. Me gusta ir a la playa porque me encanta nadar en el océano."
The class repeated the phrase and the class droned on and on. I anxiously awaited the bell and when it did ring, I sprung out of my seat and ran out of the class like it was on fire.
The once-empty hallways burst to life with lockers opening and closing and the sound of prominent chatter. I scanned the area for Sage and Evangeline but they were no where to be found. So, I absent-mindedly headed towards my locker, turning the knob so it landed on the correct numbers. It swung open with a grunt and in my books went, shoved into my locker ladder.
Once again, the main discussion in my head was Fang and the mystery cages. Did that place mean any significance to me? Or was it just a crazy vision brought on by stress and lack of sleep? I just wish I could know, I thought.
I grabbed my books for next period, slammed my locker, and jumped back a bit when I saw Sage standing there.
"Hey!" she cried cheerfully.
"Why are you so happy?" I groaned. "We're at school. There is no reason to be even the slightest bit excited."
"But I do have reasons! Josh finally asked me out!" she squealed. "He said he wanted to do it earlier but he was afraid of rejection. And of course I said yes! Eep!"
I smiled for the sake of my cooky best friend. She had liked Josh for a couple of months and since he asked her out, I wouldn't have to hear Sage's many insecurities about herself.
"That's great Sage!"
"I know right?! And guess what? My dad came home from London, England, and look what he brought me?" Sage pulled out a necklace from under her shirt and my heart almost stopped at the sight of the charm.
It was a pair of wings.
Suddenly, another vision took over my brain. I saw myself flying over mountains, my beautiful wings stretched out behind me. In the blink of an eye, I sped across the sky, going about 200 miles in around three seconds.
The vision stopped as Sage began to speak again. "Max! Max!"
"What?" I answered, trying to keep my voice from shaking.
"I said do you like it?!"
"Yes Sage, the necklace is gorgeous. Now we need to hurry to get to math. We don't want Ms. Brown to give us another detention."
Sage and I headed down the hallway. I tried to keep a content facade on the outside, but on the inside, I was freaking out.
Did I once have wings?
Oooooh! Max is questioning herself. Here below is the Spanish translations:
Por favor, preste atención: Please pay attention
Sí señor, lo siento: Yes mister, I'm sorry
Ahora la class: Now class
Repetir después de mí: Repeat after me
Me gusta ir a la playa porque me encanta nadar en el ocean: I like to go to the beach because I love to swim in the ocean
Thanks for the reviews everyone! I'll try to post as soon as I can. Read and review!
