Double Life
Dear Imena,
Throughout the rest of Academy, that group of boys was made up of my closest friends. On earth, my friend group was mostly girls and I spent a lot of time with them while I was on earth. Living a double life is difficult, especially when you're a young trihybrid. Young hybrids may have trouble controlling their powers or hiding their wings, and they may accidentally slip up one or twice. But being a trihybrid who is not only more powerful than a hybrid but also has to hide all that power, it's difficult to hide it. I'm a Angel-Ghost-Human trihybrid, no the order doesn't matter, so I have to hide the fact that I'm translucent and have wings when I'm on earth. Now that I'm older and have a lot more control, it's not a big deal, but from about five to twelve years old I struggled a lot.
My wings are probably the easiest to hide, a simple spell to make them invisible and physically untouchable and they're gone. My translucency is harder to hide and there were several instances when I was younger when I let my guard down and someone saw my translucency come back. Luckily, humans are very quick to come up with an answer that makes sense in their world, of course the people that are real believers of the paranormal and things like that aren't the ones who see anything like it. Other than that though, I lived a very normal human life on earth. I'm still part human so I think and feel like humans do. But because I'm a Pisces, and maybe because I'm not fully human as well, those feelings have always been more intense. I definitely take things more to heart than most people, but I'm also empathic. This means I can feel the emotions of other people, I walk into a room and feel a wave of different emotions that aren't mine, and it's stronger with people I know well. That's a lot for anyone to handle, and I had to learn to separate what I feel from what others do so I can feel what I feel and not get sucked into what someone else is feeling. I don't think I've ever said "feel" that much in one sentence before.
In the Vail, my life was busy. My division did well on its own, but I still checked on everyone and made sure they were doing ok. But people at Academy had it out for me, they really wanted me to get in trouble, and I ended up in the principals office so much my last three years for things I didn't do or start. I'm not joking, one time I missed school for a council meeting and some kid in my weapon defense class started a fight and when they were questioned about it after, they blamed me for starting it. The next day I was pulled into the principals office and interrogated until Adam was allowed to come in and he confirmed I was at the council meeting, he would know, I sit next to him.
Honestly, my life wasn't too difficult. In both realms I went to school, kept up a good social life, and managed all of my responsibilities in both homes. Of course, that was all before I met Andrew.
