Chapter One: Immaturity

I was glittery for no reason. I couldn’t stop the shudders from going up my arms, or my legs from bouncing. There is a reason for that though, it is a simple one actually.

ADHD.

It used to bother me that I was 'different' from the kids who could sit through a whole class period without tapping their pencil/pen, leg, or hand. I was jealous, you see, of the kids who could control what they said.

But later on in life, that all changed.

I was thankful for my hyperness because it saved my life, in fact, it saves my life over and over again almost everyday.

It helps me stay alert and allows me to move and process things quickly.

Just like right now, as I grip the sword in my hand and bounce from foot to foot.

"Mazzie, shhh." Razor, my older brother glares at me. I just shrug and continue to bounce. Razor glares at me and then I'm frozen.

"YOU JACK ASS!" I wanted to scream at him, but my muscles weren't receiving the message my brain was sending out. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw my friend, Ronnie, holding in her laughter.

Brat. She laughs harder at my frustrated thoughts. Finally I can't stand it any more,

GET OUT OF MY HEAD, YOU BITCH! Ronnie frowns at my insult and I suddenly feel terrible,

Why did I say that? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I mentally slam my head into a wall, I know Ronnie didn't hear that last part because I can't feel her anymore.

You see, whenever Ronnie enters my mind I know she is there because I get this slight ring in my ears, she tries to stay out as much as possible because I have a hard enough time focusing as is, but we think the same thoughts so much it just happens.

I glance at Razor and realize I can move again. I smile wickedly and summon a small flame, then I sick it to his butt.

I crackle with laughter as he yelps and rams his back-end into the ground, then when I think he is well bruised, I take the flame back and continue to laugh.

Ronnie, Luke and I are all laughing hysterically. Razor glares and then the buzzer goes off. "What... do you think you are doing?" A voice comes through the hidden speakers.

"Having fun!" I giggle.

"Mazzie," Joseph walks into view, "If you can't take training seriously, you do know that I can't let you go out into the field, right?" He said, suddenly my little joke wasn't so funny any more.

"Y-yes sir." I bow my head.

"Good." He turns to Ronnie, Razor, and Luke. "You three have a very important quest-"

"WHAT!" I explode.

"Mazzie," Joseph sighs, "You-"

"I need to go!"

"Your not ready."

"Like hell I'm not ready!"

"See, your immaturity could get you killed." He said like it was the most simple thing ever.

"Your stupidity could get you killed." I growl, pointing my sword at the old man.

He sighs, "Your to much of a hot head, you are not ready for the real thing. Your cockiness can and will be the end of you."
