HOLY @$%&!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! (x100)
MY WINGS ARE GONE!!!! GONE I TELL YOU!!! COMPLETELY VANISHED FROM MY BEING!!!!! Reason why!?! I got that blasted thing to work and stupidly injected it into my blood stream!!! And with a tingling sensation, my wings disappeared within my body, leaving a few gold-tipped feathers strewn on the floor!!! Now my back is as bare as the Sahara Desert and it feels SO WEIRD!!!!
Trinity had it injected too, and the next moment her hands flew to her butt and then to her head, and then to the human ears on the sides of them. We both were freaking out all right. God it was a nightmare! And when Johnny and Jalana saw us, they both were, like, frozen solid. If they think they are shocked, just imagine what it would be like on the receiving end of the whole thing.
The reason why we had to do it today though was because today we have Orientation. For school (blah). And I can’t go in there with wings, and Trinity can’t go in their looking like a fox. Ugh. I feel awful right now though. I feel so NORMAL…Yuck…
But here’s the catch, and because my life’s what it is there’s ALWAYS a catch. Whenever I get any adrenaline going in my blood, adrenaline caused by anger, that is, that mutant-repressing thingy will be subdued and my mutant gene will show again. And that means (yeah, you guessed it) my wings and all my other crazy mutant traits will come back for the world to see.
Crap.
And with an explosive personality like mine, it would be a miracle if I get through the school year without showing some wing. But the mutant-repressing thing kicks into gear again when I calm down. So I have to stay cool, calm, and collected the whole freaking year if I want to stay under-cover.
Fun.
It’s not going to be easy. I mean seriously, it’s not going to be easy at all. Plus it’s 9th grade we’re talking about. The first year of High School. Oh god. I’m gonna make this school famous if I don’t get through it successfully.
As you can tell, I have more than just homework to worry about.

It Gets Me So Flustered....

I wonder what would happen if we go to school.
Look, any girl can be uptight about it! It’s just more extreme for me for reasons way more dire.
Here’s our, well my, biggest problem.
Wings.
I can’t just hide them under my clothes! They are way huge! I mean freaking huge. Like gigantic. Think in terms of California King-Sized bed.
So I can’t hide it, and Trinity can’t hide her tail or ears in any way. She can’t go to school with that headband on every day, trying to fool everyone into thinking they are pretend ears.
Because people are smart, which sucks. I can tell they’re flesh and blood no matter if they don’t move or whatever.
And the tail! Jeez that’s the real tipper here.
So this is all a huge debacle. And I don’t know where that woman got the notion to put us in such a spot!
Hah! We’re mutants!!! School is for normal people, who don’t fly at an altitude of four plus miles and who don’t give you a douse of poison by just scratching you!
Most girls are excited about school, with their girly ways and all. They get all caught up in a frenzy to make sure their outfit is perfect for the first day.
Whereas I get caught up in a frenzy to make sure that I don’t stand out in any way possible. Just as long as the news people and police and all those guys don’t show up, I think I’ll stay calm. Then everything will be okay.
But everything is super uber not okay at the moment, because I have not freaking clue how to hide my wings!!!
Crap.
I know I’m going to lose sleep over this.

And what the freak am I going to do about my name!?!
I should have told that damn woman an alias instead of my real name. Now everyone’s going to be like, “Hi. My name is such and such. What’s your’s?” and I have to say, “Red Starbird.”

I mean holy crap! Red Starbird! Who has a name like RED STARBIRD!!! Am I going to walk into class and see a nametag saying “Red Starbird” on my desk?
Wait, they only do that in grade school.

But STILL!!!
