It was 6 am when my alarm clock start buzzing. I pressed the snooze button and pressed a pillow on my face. I threw the pillow in the other corner of my room and stared at the ceiling. Today is the day.
Today is the day I move to New Orleans and I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I don't know if it's excitement or fear.
Why am I moving to New Orleans? Oh, because I will go there to school since today. But not just any school. We found out when my parents had this big fight. I was only five years old.
Dad: „I'M TELLING YOU CORALINE, I WASN'T CHEATING, WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!", my Dad shouted.
Mom: „Oh my, why I don't believe you? Hah, it wouldn't be the first time that you cheat on me. Remember dear Darling? You're nothing to me! I don't want to see you anymore."
Meanwhile I cried in the next room because I couldn't stand it when they were fighting but then something popped into my mind. It was like electricity shooting through my body and I went straight to my parents.
I stood in front of them as if nothing were and said: „Daddy, give me your hand."
I looked directly in his eyes. Suddenly my eyes turned dark, you couldn't even see a little bit of my eye color, everything was just black. My Dad pulled his hand away, grabbed my shoulder and started to shake me.
My eyes turned normal again but my disgust for him grew. I turned to my Mom.
„Mommy, I'm so sorry but you are right, Daddy did cheat on you, more than once."
That's when everything changed. Dad left us. Not because he wanted to but because Mom made him. She didn't just threw him out of our house but out of our life.
I am something like a lie detector slash mind reader. When I touched him I could see through his eyes and I saw how he banged that other woman.
Over the years my power got stronger and I can read other people minds from across the room without even touching them.
75% of the people just disgust me. The only things they care about is money, success and sex.
My alarm clock buzzed again and teared me out of my thoughts. I hear my mom coming up the stairs. She opens my door.
„Honey, you awake? It's time to get you to your new home. I made breakfast for you, get ready and come downstairs."
„Yes mom, coming."
Because of the incident with my dad, my mom and I got inseparable but we decided that it would be better if I go to a school where I can learn how to control my power and become a witch.
Yeah, witch, old school, right?
