Empathy

New school,Same old life

"Natasha if you don't get down here right this minute I will drag your empath body down here.So save us both some stress and get yourself in gear.MOVE IT.",shouted aunt Patricia. 

She has been taking care of me since my parents died and the best part is that she's an empath so I can be myself around her. 

"Oh and you better not be trying to escape like last time",she added. 

Was she ever going to let that go.I try to escape one time and suddenly it's all I hear.

"I already promised I wasn't going to do anything stupid.You don't trust me.",I yelled back. 

"Of course I trust you." 

"Then why did you put burglary proof on my windows?" 

"To keep burglars out." 

"If that's the case then why-" 

"Natasha hurry up and get down here.You are going to be late." 

Of course.When she starts to lose the argument she remembers I'll be late for school. 

"Fine ,fine,I'm coming.It's not like I could jump out the window or anything",I shouted while dressing up in my room. 

Getting dressed has always been easy for me.I just grab a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of converses.Then grab my jacket and I'm done.I ran down the stairs and almost collided with my shouting aunt.Luckily,she jumped out of the way and steadied herself.When she turned, she narrowed her eyes at me, 

"What?You said I should hurry up and I did." 

"Just take your keys and get to school quickly" 

"I'm already a week late.I don't think showing up to my new school ten minutes late on the second week will change much." 

"By the way I have a last minute appointment with a client and I cannot back out.I will probably be home late so just go ahead and order chinese or something.Okay?" 

"You just said the words that made my day .At least I can look forward to the delicious taste of chow mein and sesame chicken" 

"I know you hate it sweetheart but it's only for a while.This is your last year in high school and after that you can move on to coll-" 

"No aunty!I have said it before and I meant it I will get revenge for what those monsters did.You have been training me my whole life for this." 

"Only because you would not listen to reason.I wasn't about to let you waltz in there unprepared that would be suicide.I taught those guards their techniques,I would know." 

"We have had this conversation too mant times and we always get the same results.No I will kill those bastards and make them regret the day they decided to destroy my family.I'm leaving aunty."

I ran out and started my baby.I started my bike,it was a green Kawasaki ninja.It might not be the best but I loved it.I have never understood why anyone would prefer sitting in a car and fiddling with the radio to tearing up the streets and feeling the wind in your hair.Sure it doesn't make for the best hairdo but that's nothing a helmet and a runnin a hand through you hair can't fix.

I was alomost at school before I remembered that I would be the newest 'new girl' at school.I internally groaned.I had to resume a week late because the emotions flying around in teenage humans on their first week of school is too intense for me to handle.During the first week no ones emotions are normal.If they're nervous,they're super nervous.If they're excited.they're freakishly excited and if they're sad...........I don't even want to think about that one.Anyway it is all too intense,but resuming on the second week always attracted too much attention. 

I stopped in front of the school,parked my bike and walked towards the door.I wiped all emotion off my face.Every anxiety,curiousity and dislike.I took on the look of indifference that always gave me the reputation of a stuck up snob with no feelings and walked into Atlantic High,my new school.
