"Expression- A Short Story

Sighing as she watched from behind his eyes, she couldn't help sometimes feeling like that was all she was. An observer, someone here just to watch and learn. What she hypothetically needed to learn, she had no idea. She just knew she was tired of feeling like a shadow, someone easily forgettable.

She didn't know exactly what she was. All she knew was that she shared a body with a boy. And while that boy was very nice, and had even introduced her to new people who were now friends of hers that supported her and cheered her on...

That she would have endless hope and faith that things could change. Because she didnt. She wanted to be able to do those things so bad, she yearned for them.

Finally laying down and shutting her eyes, she hugged her knees to her chest as she sobbed a little. "It's not fair, it's not fair..." She cries, before finally letting go of her knees and staring up at the ceiling with a pained look as tears kept falling .

"Why can't I be a normal girl..? Why this..? Why this way..? " She whispers, the wind howling outside the window her only answer....
