I think it's annoying how after someone makes something, sudden;y everyone's doing it. It's annoying and makes me not want to read the copiers stories. Reference:
Blinded Before Starlight was posted before Paisley Chevreaun came out, and they have the same plot. Here's some evidence:
[Paisley]
I don't feel like I have to impress people to gain friends or a social popularity. because all of those things are meaningless after high school. I took off my turquoise hearing aids.
To tell you the truth, I love them. I mean, it's not really that bad, once you get past all those obnoxious middle school girls calling you an old granny because of impaired hearing. They probably have kinder souls anyway.
[Reina]
Girls at school call me "Hurricane Reina". They think I can't hear. I've had hearing aid for 7 years. I can talk. But, I don't. Nobody would care what I have to say anyways. What could I saw I'd be emo sounding "I SEE DARKNESS". But however, I spoke once, to my service dog.
I hate picture day. My ugly hearing aids would stick out. Did I mention that they are yellow? Eek. I wish I would have told her I hated them. I couldn't talk back then, and I never considered doing it, so I guess I could have. My mother was always nice, but I knew she hated having a dumb kid. My sister was normal, why couldn't I be? What was so wrong about me that I ended up ugly, deaf and blind. I didn't understand.
We were stopping, which meant I'd be at school in 2 minutes. I hated my school, like most kids, but mine was a deaf school, and I was the only person who only had one of their 5 senses. I had been expelled from all the normal mainstream schools because I was "too difficult".
I'm not trying to stir up any drama or point fingers, but it doesn't seem like it just happened like that. Sorry.
