La Farfalla
I don't really know what this is or where it's going, but it was in my head and now its physically out into the world.
There he was, standing at the other end of the room. And here I was, looking after him. Matthew, I breathed his name and bat my lashes. Maybe today, I wondered.
But what would make today any different than yesterday, or the previous? I dream, hope, wish he would say more than a polite hello.
Matthew, I felt his name take hold on my heart. His green eyes found mine and a smile crossed his perfect lips as he walked my way. I held tightly to the daydream where he would profess his love and sweep me away. But fairytales only exist on Disney Channel. He waved, and continued on just as every day before.
Melody gave that wiked grin, and I knew she would tell me that it isn't polite to stare. Or she would rant about how I need to ask him for coffee.
"Lets just get going, I want to finish that movie." I huffed, as we boarded the empty elevators. If I didn't stop thinking about Matt, I knew I might literally fly away, and that is not the kind of scene I wanted...
Melody and I got to our room, I unfirled my sparkly wings. I will never stop admiring them, Baby blue, magenta tips, silver sparkles, black intrecate lines decorating them. I stood by the window, allowing them to catch some warmth and my body tingled. Melody went straight for the tub and soaked in the warmness of the water.
I'm a butterfly, she is a dolphin, and we have been best friends since the dawn of time. Melody is a marine biology major- well thats a shocker! I am an environmental chemist.
Melody has long black hair that waves its way around her face, and my short, straight blonde hair doesn't even compare. She shines whenever she smiles, she bounces around without a care in the world. The guys flock to her. Her laugh echos around the room in peaceful simplicity and innocence.
My name is Angela, and I am none of that. Quiet, shy, non-confrentational. I'm slim, but the most beautiful thing about me are my wings, which I rarely show. They would draw too much attention, and I'd rather blend into the corner.
Matthew surley would fall for Melody instead of me, so I should be greatful all he does is say hello, if he stuck around longer he would begin to gravitate towards her, and my little heart would never handle it. My self esteme can't take that kind of blow.
I put on my tiny, yellow skirt and black cammi as Melody dressed in light blue skinny jeans and a grey embroyded tank top with black flats. Well, we had the same taste in shoes! Purses and out the door to the movie, ironically Dolphin Tale was playing tonight.
We took the stairs, and I flew down the stairs, backwards so I could laugh at Melody running to catch up to me, screaming at me and saying things like, "Cheater" as I raced to the bottom. I tucked them in and opened the theater door for her with a smirk. I was too busy teasing my best friend that I ran into Matthew. His chest was rock hard, he smelled sweet and was so warm. I stepped back and blushed like crazy, uttering appologizes and trying to back away from him so I wouldn't look like such a freak.
Matthew grinned, took my hand and kissed it. "It's arlight" he chuckled, winked at me and asked Melody and I to sit with him and his friends. Matthew was a Rottwiler, his curley black hair shined and I swear if I stared any longer I would be put into the crazy house!
Thank goodness the movie was starting, I couldn't handle any more embarassment! My wings would just come out automatically if I didn't take control... the more I thought about it the more I felt them itching to come out.
