The narrative seems to be a monologue from the character Phoebe, who discovers a unique power she has - the ability to control people using her eyes. She uses this power to manipulate situations, get what she wants, and even influence people's perceptions of her. However, she starts to feel guilty and decides to stop using her power.
Phoebe, a young girl with midnight blue eyes, discovers that she has a strange power - she can manipulate people by looking into their eyes. She uses this power to get what she wants, such as getting her way during exams, getting a hot dog at lunch, and even inviting herself to a movie with a group of friends. However, she also experiences some negative consequences, like getting into a fight with a group of girls and getting detention.
As she grows older, she realizes that her power is causing her to lose friends and alienating her from others. She tries to use her power to make friends with a new group of classmates, but her actions backfire. She also finds herself attracted to a boy, Levi, who is her older brother's friend. However, Levi and his friend are known to be heartbreakers who change girlfriends frequently.
Despite the allure of Levi and his friends, Phoebe decides to stand up for herself and stop using her power. She removes her contact lenses, revealing her blue eyes to everyone. She also leaves her parents' house and moves in with her friend Grace. At the end, Phoebe decides to go to the dance wearing her blue dress, where Levi picks her up. Despite the initial attraction, she decides that she'd like to be herself, regardless of the color of her eyes.
