I knew I was different.
I had always known it.
I had powers.
Crazy right?
A 16 year old girl has super powers?
Can she fly? Is she toxic? What happened? Was it an radioactive experiment? Is she an alien?
Let me stop all your questions there.
No, umm no, I don't know, probably not, and no.
I have telekinesis. I know you wish you had telekinesis. But honestly, you don't want powers. You think you can automatically pick up a car or bring the remote to your hands or even pick up people. But you can't.
Powers like mine have flaws. I can't fully control my powers. I can't pick up cars or any of that junk. It's like lifting weights, you can't just expect to lift over 100 pounds right away. You gotta start small and grow outta the little things. I sometimes practice at home trying to lift up bigger things. But this is sorta different than using your muscles, cause your using your brain. It's not like I have to practice math or English to train my brain, but I have to have full concentration.
Concentration is everything with telekinesis. Thinking fully of the object and lifting it up, soon enough you are so used to picking an object up that you can do it just like that.
Every day I go to school, like a normal kid, and try to hide my powers. But it's hard considering I can't completely control my powers. Every now and then when my mind is disrupted something in the room will shake or fly up in the air.
Sorry I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm star by the way. Ya I know, weird name, deal with it.
So today, like any other day, I'll go to school. Ugh. Waking up early, getting ready, almost falling asleep on the bus............the usual.
I understand most of my classes mainly because of my powers, they help me concentrate better.
Then afterwards I come home, as usual, and greet my mom.
"Hey mom." I say as I walk in the door.
"Hi honey, and power problems at school today?" She asks although she knows the answer.
"Yeah, but only one issue so far today." I say.
She runs over and hugs me, "you're controlling your powers better."
My mom has aways known about my powers, obviously, and has aways helped me with it. She has known this since my birth. I assumed I was a pretty crazy baby.
Along with that I only have my mother, no siblings and no father.
My dad died by a car accident, or so I was told.
The sad thing was, he died when I was six and I can't remember him!!!
I feel stupid.
I go up to my room quietly and practice my telekinesis.
I sit down and stare at the book on my desk.
Concentrate.
Pick up the book. Pick up the book. Lift the book. Lift the book.
Then a scream.
My mind explodes with fear.
My desk flys in the air as well as the chair I'm sitting in, I scream and fall to the floor along with my desk and chair.
It's my mother's scream I heard.
"Run star!" I hear my mom yell, then I hear a gun shot.
My heart skips a beat. I feel like I'm going to pass out. My door slams open. And I know I am now facing the man who shot my mother.
