Skyward

The Angel

Have you ever felt like you were made to complete a certain person ? Like you needed that special person to be complete too ? If not then stop reading now cause this story is probably not for you.
The 20th february, the day my journey started, the day everything started. It was my first day as a high school student and knowing myself, I knew this day was about to be in the top ten of the worst days in my life. It started out like usual though, I was too tired to get up on time and I was already running late for my first day. Like usual Dad had already left for work and the only thing to illustrate his presence was a note, "I left for work already make sure you're on time for school."
I live alone with my Dad, it's quite the complicated story but all I know is that things didn't work out with my mom and hence here I am with a single father.
Anyway, time wasn't on my side it actually never is, so I grabed an apple, my skateboard and hurried off to school.
And there it was, that great structure that created an even greater shadow on such a sun filled day, it was my new school, Overland Highschool.
As I was about to enter, I heard loud steps coming from behind me and as I turned I saw a girl running with such fury towards the gate that my heart stopped for a minute. If I told you I was scared at that moment I would be lying, the word panic was an understatement. At that point a collision was inevitable, I had no time to dodge.
Yeah you're probably thinking about that corny scene no one likes at the beginning of every romantic movie, where the guy and the girl run into each other and by chance their hands touch and they suddenly realize they have met the love of their life. Well you're right, or actually you're almost right.
At that point I had no time to think about that, cause I was feeling the air leaving my body, it was as if someone was pulling my soul out.
And then all I could see was... Darkness.
I had blacked out.
I woke up in an all white room with a lot of light and when I could fully open my eyes I saw a figure... It was a girl.
Beauty...? No, it was way more than that. That girl was the closest I had ever gotten to seeing perfection.
She looked at me and put on a bright smile and then she said "Hey how are you feeling?" I still could barely believe such a beautiful creature was standing before me. So I asked ,"Is this heaven?"
Okay you probably think I'm very weird because of that well I am but that doesn't matter you started reading so you don't have choice anymore. I had two main reasons for asking that: First, beautiful girls never talk to me
Secondly girls never talk to me, so either I was dying and this was my paradise or I was dreaming.
But to my greatest surprise she laughed and said "You're a funny guy".
Alright at that point I was expecting Jesus to just pop out of nowhere to tell me my time had come. A girl talking to me and telling me I was funny, bruh Jesus could've come at that point I was ready to die in peace.
I decided to take advantage of this heavenly situation to have an actual conversation with a girl.
So I started by saying "Are you the one I met at the gate ?", she answered "Ahh no, that was my friend Kara."
"Wait wait, so you know what happened ?"
Then she said "Oh yeah, Kara was running cause she was just as late as you and because she was in such a rush she didn't notice you."

"Ah I see, so is that what knocked me out?"

"Oh actually no, let's just say in all the commotion you touched one of her oranges and she gave you her famous stomach punch."

"Wait wait slow down, she punched me? Wait I touched her what?!"

"You know... The two oranges, the bouncy balls, I can't be more precise than that"

"It's okay I get it. So I'm about to die because a girl punched me. That's gonna be a nice story for my kids wow"

And then the angel in front of me laughed a second time.
I didn't know what was more painful, the fact that this was probably a dream or that I got in such a bad state because a girl punched me. Yup that's how sad my life is.
It's at that moment that another girl entered.
A dark skinned girl with relatively long hair, she was a little corpulant and she wore glasses.
I don't know what was happening but this was way more than just luck. The girl that had just enterred was almost as beautiful as my angel. Nah I was really about to experience something terrible, I was sure I had exhausted all of my luck for about 2 months.
That's when the girl with glasses threw a glare at me and said with a cold voice"Oh you still alive ? Let me finish the job real quick"
It was starting to look more like my kind of day, I was about to witness my own death. You know, people usually have cool stories related to their deaths like ;
I fought cancer for 15 years or I died in war serving my country. Then you have me, a girl beat the hell out of my already half dead body.
Because of her reaction I guessed that that was Kara and I was right cause in the seconds that followed the angel screamed while trying to stop her
"Kara stop ! You probably destroyed this poor guy's stomach already, stop"
Then Kara responded "But this fool violated my body!"
"Kara do you really think he is capable of doing such a thing? I mean look at the guy"
After reading that you probably think she thinks I'm a good guy and everything
But that's not how my life works I'm sure she thinks I'm gay.
Anyway, Kara ended up calming down and she glared at me one last time before leaving the room.
And when my angel was about to speak again the windows suddenly opened and a strong wind went across the room. As the wind passed it gave room to a light breeze which carried some petals from the flowers outside. And some of them landed on her hair. With an even stronger light from outside I was able to witness a true masterpiece.
I talked about perfection before but this girl took beauty to a whole other level.
I extended my hand to try and remove the petals from her hair. And as I was on the brink of touching her hair I glanced at her face to see her reaction. That's when it happened, our eyes met.
You remember how in elementary school the teachers will tell you about how deep the galaxy is right? Well that's the perfect description to her eyes, her gaze had the depth of the galaxy and the shine from the stars to accompany it.
But as compared to what I thought her look wasn't the romantic one I thought I was gonna get, it looked more like she was staring at something in terror. That's when I followed her gaze and turned around.
You've ever felt that sensation from eating too much ice cream at once, that's how I felt. Bruh my head was beating harder than my heart and I'm sure that's everything but normal. But I felt that thing again, as if my soul was leaving my body, my eyes were slowly closing and you can probably guess what followed. Yup, I had passed out again.
