Getting Use to Powers

I woke up to my alarm. I didn't want to go back to school. Christmas break was not fun, but it got me out of school. I slowly got out of bed and turned off my alarm at the same time. I could hear someone move around down stairs, but I didn't know who it was. My mom had a lot of different guys over. I got some clothes out of my dresser and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I locked my bedroom door before I walked to the bathroom, so nothing would be stolen. I locked the door so whoever was down stairs did not think I was my mother. I had that happen to me before. It was not fun to find some guy in the bathroom looking at you when you were taking a shower. I learned fast to lock the doors. I slowly took my shower letting the water slowly roll off my body. When the water got cold I quickly got out of the shower and quickly got dressed. I ran to my room and unlocked the door. I locked it behind me when I heard footsteps on the stair case. I did not want to know who was in the house with me. I did not even know if my mother was home. I got all of my stuff for school, and then went down stairs after relocking my door. My mother was sitting at the table with a man holding her hand.

"Good Morning Martha!" I said as I walked into the kitchen.

"Who is that?" the man asked confused.

"No one that is important for you!" Martha answered.

Mother never told any of the guys about me. I got a gallon of Orange Juice and a bag of Baked Cheddar and Sour Cream chips.

I walked out of the back door and shouted, "Bye Martha!"

I drank some of the juice and ate some of the chips before I got to the bus stop. Everyone knew about my mother so they never said anything when I got on the bus with food and a drink. The bus ride took about an hour as it picked everyone up. I finished off the juice and the chips when we got to school. Some of the kids on the bus helped eat them, but no one said anything. I was the last one off the bus. I got to my class room with a lot of time to spare. The teacher was the only other person in there with me. I started to read my book. I was almost done with it again.

"What did you get for Christmas this year Mary?" Mrs. Longhorn asked when she saw me at my desk.

"I got a handmade pillow from my grandparents on my mother's side, a throw from my mother, a pair of slippers from my grandparents on my father's side, and I couldn't get anything from my Father!" I answered not even looking at her.

I would have thought my mother was keeping my gifts, but we went to see my grandparents when I got their gifts. Not one of them wants me or loves me. My father killed himself in front of me telling me that he never wants to see me again. My mother almost over dosed on a lot of different stuff at different times. My grandparents only talk to me because I am family.

"Oh, well I am sorry your Christmas Break was not so much fun!" Mrs. Longhorn said snapping me back to the present day.

She put a present on my desk as I looked up to see where she was at in the room. I opened it to find a Kindle.

"I got tired of seeing you always reading that one book!" she said with a smile.

"Thank you Mrs. Longhorn!" I said with a teary eyed smile.

I opened it up and started looking up books I liked. I found all of them, and I downloaded them. Everyone was surprised to see the Kindle that Mrs. Longhorn gave me.

"Wow that was a very nice gift Mrs. Longhorn!" everyone said when I told them she gave it to me.

"Ok class, the field trip to the science museum is tomorrow! Everyone has their slips signed, so the only thing I need to tell you is to bring your lunches or bring money for your lunch!" Mrs. Longhorn said as she was writing on the board, "This is the groups that we will be in!"
