Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan
Ever wonder what it would be like to have Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak? You could walk around; wherever you wanted to go. You have the world at your finger tips. Sounds pretty cool doesn't it? Now imagine yourself wearing that Invisibility Cloak permanently. You are a ghost. Nobody can see you. Nobody can talk to you. You are by yourself. An observer, one of the unseen, watching and living through other's lives.
My name is Stephen. I have been invisible since the day I was born. I've never seen my reflection in the mirror so it's hard to guess what I look like. I am a people watcher. I don't have much else to do. The tenants in the apartment complex I live in are few and far between. Some stay for a few days; some a few months. A new family is moving in today. A single mom with two kids my age.
I can't believe this! My hands are shaking so bad as I write this down. The teenage girl saw me. I was standing there dumbstruck when she asked me to help with her groceries. She even grabbed my hand! What does this mean? Does this mean others can see me as well? Is my curse finally broken?
