Harry's pov

"I don't know about this"

"No no really I think you'll like it" Alexis was trying to hand me a bowl of these little things called cereal they are these little colorful bits swimming in milk

"What is it?" I asked taking the spoon stirring it around

"Fruity pebbles babe one bite and if you don't like it I'll eat it" so far she hasn't given me anything I hated so I guess I didn't have a reason to be so skeptical I raised the spoon some milk spilling back into the bowl I smelled it and it did smell of fruit I took a bite It was crunchy and sweet

"Well?" I looked at her and took another bite she smiled "you like it! Knew you would" she turned "go sit and I'll make a bowl for myself then come sit with you" she turned going back to the fridge I wanted to look at the box but in front of it I saw something I tilted my head seeing a ring of milk

She hadn't spilled any I felt the bottom of my bowl and it wasn't wet I furrowed my eyebrows I wiped away the ring glancing at Alexis before going to the table

No no it can't be- forget about it Harry

I focused on my bowl as Alexis came to sit next to me she put her feet in my lap as always

"Does... does the air feel different to you?" I asked I just felt off I felt cramped but at the same time light the air was soft and empty but I felt crowded by no one

"No why?"

I shrugged "I dunno I guess I didn't sleep right... maybe I'm a bit low on energy there's why everything's ... fuzzy no I mean it's-" I rolled my shoulders "full the air is full"

She shook her head pouting "I don't know I don't feel anything sorry love"

I just took a second to look at her

Her skin very soft and the color of caramel candy, her hair a dark deep brown, her lips very full and rosy pink

Her eyes I've never seen eyes like those "you have extraordinary eyes you know I've never seen any other iris that looks like yours" I commented it the observation might maybe be a bit late but doesn't make it any less true

"Yes well when you're a genetic nightmare something's gotta be a perk" she shrugged

"Pardon?" I frowned

"Mm I had just a whole host of things wrong with me when I was alive my main problem was severe asthma... my mother drank and smoked while she was pregnant even attempted to self abort 3 times no wonder I was so fucked" she sounded so bitter and I couldn't say much I only knew the little she's told me but from those bits she'd been in hell before she even died

"Well genetic deformity or not your eyes are very very beautiful"

"Thank you it's called Heterochromia it's when one eye or both your eyes have 2 distinct different colors so while the ring of my eye is forest green the iris is jade green the ring around my pupil is gold" she shrugged "different colors" she took a bite

"You say it as if it's no big deal your eyes are positively striking"

"I'm sorry it's hard my whole life I was locked away I knew 6 people while I was alive 4 of that 6 said my eyes were nice or hell even said something remotely nice to me then I died I came back and I went into public people stopped me left and right 'your eyes are beautiful- your eyes are so strange- your eyes are blah blah blah...' I just couldn't understand what made me so different I read a lot on it found out my condition and to be frank it reminds me of my mother and I hate her"
