Description
I look out my window, watching the girls outside laughing and talking on their way home from school. As usual, they stop and wait for one girl, a tall brunette, to fix her infinitely untied shoe. One of the girls, the shortest, stands on her toes to see over another's shoulder, also per routine. The other girls turn, see me through the glass, and wave. I smile sadly and wave my reply, then step back and close the heavy curtains behind me...as usual. I wish I could join them everyday as they pass by; wish more than anything I could talk and laugh with them and forget my worries, even if it were for just a moment. I wish I could, but I can't. As my father has always reminded me, humans accept only the ordinary-what they know-and I am anything but. I am Lobelia Belleghem and this is a story of private schools, millionaire warlocks, and a girl who literally belongs behind a department store window. This is the story of a girl who has become Shatterproof. *Cover created by my friend, the wonderful and talented Ayafeeia. http://www.wattpad.com/user/Ayafeeia *Original photo by miss-deathwish-stock on deviantART. http://miss-deathwish-stock.deviantart.com
