Song: A Way To Get Lost In You by Three Days Grace
(A/N: That's right, fanfiction, yours truly has fallen for someone they don't have a chance with. Sigh. Wanna give me some advice? Let me know in a review, I'll send you the situation.)

My Mom was pounding on my door. The thumps jerked me from my reading another James Patterson novel. (A/N: You know it.)
"Yes?" I asked, annoyed. The knocking stopped before the door crunched in, my Mom with her combat boots resting on the doorknob that was now on the bottom of my floor. She blew some brown hairs from her eyes.
"Cole's here." she said. I smiled and popped up from my bed, pratically skipping down to my door. I opened the door through the place that the knob used to be (long story). Cole's 6' 0" form looked down on me. His green eyes were unreadable, the pupil rimmed with brown. He fixed his faux-hawk.
"Planning on joining the group for a fly yet? You're late." he stated. My stomach was flip-flopping, but I managed a reply.
"Yeah." I said. You see, it turns out that the girl The Flock rescued had kids now, and Cole was one of them. He was two years older than me, so I didn't know if he could ever return what I felt for him. My friends Linsday and Kendra were already stretching out their wings. They were twins, both older than I. Lindsay's wings were black with random white feathers mixed throughout. She proclaimed to be 'dark' and stuff, but under that mop of black hair was a bubbly blond. Kendra was small and shy, with mousey-tan feathers. Her wings were tightly aerodynamic, so she could clip turns when we raced like no other person. A warm breeze tickled me in the face, and I extended all fifteen feet of my wings. They were deep brown, but if you looked at them the right way, they had a reddish tint. Cole's wings were snowy white. He launched into the air, with the rest of the group following. Cole's younger brother Henry watched from the ground, flapping his little immature wings exitedly. He'd be learning to fly, soon.
"Ready?" I called to the others. They nodded. And in an instant, we were off.
I was third, behind only Kendra and Cole. Lindsay was struggling, too busy watching Cole's cousin Nathan. She liked him. A lot. If you catch my drift.
Then Kendra swooped behind us, leaving me side-to-side with Cole. We didn't talk or taunt, but scrunched our wings to a stop at the end. We were both panting.
"I won." he said between gasps. I laughed.
"Yeah, right. And I'm part lizard."
My lips shut themselves. Cole was known to tease me unmercifully, and I knew what was coming next.
"You sure look it!" he shouted mockingly. I hit him in the side of the head with my wing. We both laughed, and I felt the flamiliar pang of hope.
Maybe I do have a chance.
