So now while her parents finalize the documents, Laurel tries to ajust to going to a actually school and always being inside. But things changes when on her first day when she meets David, a handsome, tall and friendly guy who understands Laurel and the fact that she is a strict vegan. He also becomes the only person that laurel can talk to when she finds a strange bump on her back between her shoulders which srouts into a flower that looks almost like wings. So now together with David she tires to figure out just what is happening to her. When Laurel was 3 years old she was found on the porch of her parent's house by her parents in a hand woven basket.
