As the day wore on, I got to know my new friends better and soon we became close and I became less nervous. The last period of the day was accounting and I was expecting it to be terribly hard, but it wasn’t, actually I found it to be the easiest subject of the day.
When the school day ended my friends and I walked toward the car park and we waited. Christina was the first leave in a black SUV, and then it was Michaela in a Mercedes A5. Next was Jessica which Amanda and I walked with her to the car and we met her mother which was a short kind young woman with long brown hair and wears glasses, so that left Amanda and I, we got along quite well and we had a lot in common. Soon after 4:30 my mom came to pick us up, I said my goodbyes to Amanda whom gave me a hug and ruffled up my jet black which the made it look untidy so I flicked my hair and we both shared a good laugh. As I walked toward the car Amanda snuck up behind me and hugged me from behind and gave me a fright, after I gave a yelp we both burst into laughter. I gave her one last goodbye then retreated to the car only to slide down my window and wave to her and shout ‘goodbye’.
As we drove down the road I was deep in thought again, this time was thinking about what I should cook for supper that night, I was thinking maybe a roast chicken and Crème Brule for dessert.
“What was that about, have you found a new girlfriend?” my mom asked
“No mom I only met her today, we’re just friends” I replied feeling irritated
“Okay, calm down I’m just asking” my mom said
“It’s okay we’re all inquisitive at times” I told her with a bright smile that could light up a whole house
We dropped off my cousin by her house and my mom soon dropped us off and went back to work. My brother and I was left at the house alone, out of habit I went to the study to do the homework we got that day and study it over and over so I could understand it for the next time we go back to those specific classes. Later that afternoon I went to my room to play my Skyrim on my Xbox. As I fought a blood dragon on my game I soon wondered about my hundreds of dragon eggs and when I should put them in a fire to hatch
“Soon” I spoke quietly to myself “Very soon”
My step-dad came home after 6:30. He was very muscular with black hair but it was greying but it went unnoticed. He was very tan and was always cleanly shaven. He wore I white shirt with cream coloured shorts
“Boys, your mother will be coming home at eight, so you will be on your best behaviour
When I’m here. Please do not disturb me I have a lot of work to do” he said very seriously
Seeing the seriousness on his face I said “Chill Greg we won’t. How was your day?” I asked
“Busy” he replied still looking very serious “did you study?” he asked me
“Yes and I understand it all” I lied I only understood the accounting
“Okay good boy” he praised me
I went back to playing Skyrim…
The time flew by because before I knew it I heard the door open and heard my mom shout ‘hello”. I saved my game and switched off the Xbox and went to greet my mom who had bought pizza from our local pizza store
“You did get the vegetarian right?” I asked
“Yes you fussy eater” my mom retorted
“I am not fussy, I’m simply vegetarian” I replied to her comment
“I know, that’s the point” my mom said
After eating our pizza I took a shower and got into bed, after waiting till 9:56 my parents went to bed and my brother should be sleeping so I snuck up out of bed and pulled a pair of black skinny jeans on and thought of putting a shirt on but thought better of it. I snuck out of the front door and checked for any cars coming down the road, when I thought it was safe I allowed my wings to unfurl, they were angelic wing but raven black in colour, that’s what happens when an angel fall, but nevertheless I fight for heaven and not for hell. I bent down, my knees almost touching the tarred road and kicked off with a whoosh. I was now up in the ait giving my wings a stretch, I flew straight and I could feel the wind against my skin it was cold but refreshing. I used my angel given gift to make it rain. This night reminded me of the fall all over again, the images of the darkness, and me plummeting toward the earth came rushing into my head
I fell…
I hit a tar road but fortunately I didn’t break anything. I recognized this place and it wasn’t far from my house, I got up from the ground and was startled by a voice that came from behind me, it was a soft voice and definitely female, I recognized as soon as she spoke
“How was your flight?” She asked me
“Ahh Chaniqua how you?” I asked. She had long black hair that reached her knees, her eyes were pink and radiant, and her eye-lashes were long and beautiful. She had a small pinched face, her skin was mud-brown and she was a fairy, her wings were like her eyes, pink and radiant. She used to be part of clan Fae but I did their clan a huge favour to kill the ogres that surrounded them and in return they gave me Chaniqua who offered to go but I was more than welcome for her to join me on my quests.
“I’m doing excellent, but I still asked you a question” she replied
“Well it was disturbed by the images of the fall, but other than that it was good” I replied to her question
“You need to spell to block out those horrible memories” she told me
“I can’t” I said to her
“Why not? You’re more than powerful enough” she asked me
“It reminds me of who I really am! Okay” I shouted out
“No that’s not enough, I mean falling from heaven should be enough to remind you who you are” she told me
“Yes, an evil angel who fell because I agreed with Lucifer!” I exclaimed
Chaniqua slapped me “Don’t you ever think that, EVER!!!” She shouted at me
“I’m sorry, it just seems so true. I feel like…like” I was lost of words
“A demon” Chaniqua helped me “well you’re not so get that out of your head, now!” she told me
“Well I have black wings just like a demon does” I informed her
“But you don’t have Lucifer’s mark, and all angels get black wings when they fall”
“I’m sorry I’ve just been a bit-“Chaniqua cut me off
“Does not matter at the moment, but what really matters is that Lucifer put a huge bounty on your head, so all the bounty hunters are after you. What I learned of this I made you these, I took your halo and made some changes to it and duplicated it” she pulled out 10 circular halos made up completely of sunshine
“I see no difference” I told her feeling inquisitive
She took a halo out of the bunch and flicked her wrist which made the halo grow spikes.
“And I stole your sword and you staff and combined it into one weapon” she pulled out the staff/sword “to switch between weapons just do the same things with the halos” she informed me then gave me my new weapons
“Yay new toys” I said gleefully

After P.T it was time to go home but I was going to stay at school to six today, so I decided instead of going home sweaty like most of the guys in my class I’m going to take I shower. I got to the boys bathroom and scanned the showers and found they were in excellent shape, so I got into the one I choose and made sure no one was there, I was alone. So I undressed and turned on the shower and waited it to warm up, once the shower was hot enough for me I went under the shower of clear liquid and felt the warm water run down the length of my body. I took out my soap and shampoo from my toiletry bag and started to wash myself while I sang
Dead star shine
light up the sky
I’m all out of breath
my walls are closing in
days go by
come back to the end…
I became silent as someone walked into the bathroom
Zzzip came the sound of him pulling down his zipper. The sound came again and I heard footsteps leaving the bathroom.
No longer the lost
no longer the same
and I can see you starting to break
I’ll keep you alive
if you show me the way
forever- and ever
the scars will remain
With that I rinsed my hair and turned the knobs which turned the water off, I got dressed in clothes I brought from my house. I wore black skinny jeans, a black long-sleeved top and a black hoody with black sneakers. I repacked my bag and walked out of the bathroom, just to be interrupted by my art teacher
“Jonathan, was that you singing?” my teacher asked me
“Um… yes ma’am” I replied “why are you asking?” I also asked a question
“No it was just that you have a beautiful voice” my teacher told my
“HAHA no ma’am you the bathroom distorts your voice, so that isn’t my real singing voice, my real singing voice sucks and… I can’t sing for my life”
“No Jonathan a bathroom doesn’t distort your voice, just please try the do the talent show you’ll do well” she told me
“Well ma’am I could try but will the stage be big enough for a band because I have a band and all” I told my teacher
“You have a and, that’s perfect!” my teacher shouted
“SHHH please ma’am I don’t want everyone to know about that that” I Told my teacher
“Okay my liefie” she told me
“Thanks ma’am” I said as I turned my back to her and started to walk in the opposite direction “liefie my ass”
As the rest of the week dragged by it was finally the weekend which I found out I’d prefer to go back to school, we went camping and I hate camping
…
When the weekend ended it was Monday; the worst day of the week! We went to line up in the quad like we do every morning and we went to assembly were I would be teased by the grade nines. We walked into the hall and found the stage set up for a band “today looks like it would be good” I thought to myself. So I sat down on our seats, which mine felt a bit wobbly. Looking down at the red carpet I allowed my imagination run wild like I always do. The high school principle walked in and we all stood up to show our respect, he wore a striped blue and white top with a green tie and cream chino pants, we all sat down and I got back to imagining my alternative life, were I had lots of money and I was a celebrity.
“Good morning everyone” our principle said to us
“Good morning sir” some of us replied
“I was informed yesterday by Miss Henderson that we have a singer in the school…”
I ignored our principle and imagined things
“Please everyone give a warm hand to Jonathan Daven in grade eight”
Everyone cheered but I did not hear what the commotion was about so I came back to earth and clapped along with everyone like a sheep that I am. Everyone stopped clapping and then burst into laughter
“What’s happening, I don’t get it?” I asked the guy next to me
“You- were called- up onto the- stage” he replied between bursts of laughter
“Oh” I said as I shot bolt up and looked around as everyone looked at me while laughing; I felt the blood going to my cheeks as I blushed in shame. I started to walk toward the stage when I stopped half way there in shock when I saw my band mates walking on the stage in the black skinnies and black tops with blazers
“Damn it!!!” I thought to myself. I walked onto the stage and was handed the microphone
“Ma’am I specifically asked not to tell everyone that whole singing incident on Wednesday” I told my teacher sounding very angry
“But you are a great singer and I thought you need to show the school you talent” she shouted from where she was, I heard her voice very faintly but I understood what she said
“I am a terrible singer” I told her and the rest of the school
“Jonathan, I asked your band members, your manager and your clothes designer to be here today so you guys can perform, so you will sing got it!” she replied to me in a bitchy attitude
“Um…. Okay so then I suppose I start” I said with a glare at Miss Henderson “The first song is um, crawl. You guys should know it by know, do you?” I asked my band mates
“Yes we do” Ben said with a huge exaggerated sigh
“One two, one two three” said the drummer while hitting his drum sticks together
The burst of sound from the amplifier was huge; you could clearly hear the guitars and the drums. Soon after the song started to play I had to sign
Shadow of a man
I am nothing less
I am holding on
Still holding on
and every now and then life begins again
I am holding on
still holding on
I’m not like you
your faceless lies
your weak dead heart
your black dead eyes
I’ll make it through, but not this time
your hope is gone and so is mine
LIVE, FIGHT
crawl back inside
SICK, BLIND
Love left behind
and I won’t live
your weak wicked lie
you pull me in, I’m one step behind
…
