Every day, you wake up. That's basic human function, right? So is eating, breathing, walking, blinking, which you also do every day... That's why, it surprises some people when something different happens. When you wake up and suddenly, it's all gone; the image you were trying to maintain, the love of your parents that you thought was endless, and the respect from your peers that you only had for such little time. You'd rather it just be a normal day, like every other. Well, one day, I woke up and it was just like every other day. I was eating, breathing, walking, blinking... so what was different? Maybe it was this strange feeling in my chest that felt like my heart was being pulled downwards... That wasn't very normal. I then looked around my room to see if anything was physically different. Everything was fine. I then thought of myself. I hadn't really spent so much time with myself. When I'm in my own head, things get too deep and I panic. I seem to panic quite a bit, though. I placed my hand on my heart, and it was hammering. Strange. I then went downstairs and grabbed a piece of toast that was on the counter. My parents were already gone, so I had to take the bus. As I sat down, I watched the other kids come in. Some popular brunet boy walked in, and I found myself staring. Not because I had any romantic feelings toward him...this was something else. It was an unspoken jealousy. Envy, you could even say. I wanted to be like him. I shook my head at the thought. "What does that even mean?", I thought to myself. We finally arrived at school and we had math in first period. As I sat down at my desk, I stared down at my knees. They felt...feminine. I've never really noticed that before. I never really cared before. I fidgeted with the skirt I was wearing. I suddenly felt rather uncomfortable wearing it. It was almost embarrassing for me. I wanted to melt into the fabric of the skirt, disappear forever, never to be seen again. Goodbye Delilah. The disappearing girl. No, that felt wrong too. Girl. It felt salty upon my tongue. Something was definitely off today. I took three deep breaths and closed my eyes. The teacher walked in and began teaching, but I couldn't hear a word he was saying. The ringing in my ear was too loud. It tried to tell me something... I didn't know what, but it was trying to warn me, for sure... Something was going to change. And I was yet to find out what. 8964 copyright protection215ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9FGrrqo1h 維尼
