After eating with Victor, Silas and kota. I came home, they wanted to drive me home but after insisting that I'll be fine they let me go.

And the first thing I did when I came home was opening the camera in the food court and scanning Greg's biometrics, which eventually showed me all the information that had ever been recorded of him and with a few deep search I got hold of his messages and calls including his current location

After some more digging around in my holographic screen, it seems like I was going to meet him sooner than I had expected as he goes to Ashley Waters high school. I also found that he has been arrested twice for drugs.

A message popped up on the right side of the screen, distracting me. I turned my attention to it,

UNKNOWN2349: thank you for the tip. It really helped.

I smiled as I knew from who it was from. I thought for a moment and my hands typed on the holographic keyboard before I could stop myself.

TECHNA3605: Happy to help.

I couldn't stop the smile as soon as I sent the message. I don't know who this guy is or the academy's tech guy is but I'm sure that the person on the other side would be freaking out because of my reply.

They have tried to get me to talk before, but since I was in my step mother's care, I was afraid that if I start to talk then I wouldn't be able to stop myself from telling them about the abuse, as I knew all I wanted at that time - after my stepmoms punishment -was someone who can release to me and get me through the day.

I got out, I told myself. No need to burden anyone with my miserable life and it's problems. I'm sure I would be more trouble, than good to anyone - who I care about or just any random person who talk to me. That's makes me a loner but I'm content to be one, if it means people wouldn't get hurt because of my stupidity.

I usually help the academy whenever I can, even though its nothing physically just gathering information and helping random to team crack codes or give them tip about what's happening.

They had tried to hack into my system several time to get to know who I was, but since my firewalls and security is so hard to crack they stopped trying. I pride myself in my technology skills after all that is my special ability.

Even though there is one bad thing about my ability is, when to comes to a fight I wouldn't be able to win. My ability doesn't have any physical effect on people and that means that I have to learn to protect myself in a fight.

Usually when I give information to the academy. I would contact the concerned team or member if I was helping them out in specific or else I would just send it to Dr. Phil Roberts, one of the elders of the association.

I didn't wait for a reply message from unknown 2349 as I knew they wouldn't be able to send me a reply back. They can't contact me back until I reach for them or I allow them. I constantly change the coordinates so that no one can find my locations.

After that, I had nothing to do. As I sat on my bed bored out of my mind, I decided to do a background check on the other people I met.

Gabriel Coleman, Silas Korba, Victor Morgan, Dakota. That's when I remembered that I don't know Kota's last name. That's not a problem since I'm not going to do an extensive search just getting to know them.

Within few minutes I had the three guys file pulled up. Victor's file on my right hand Gabriel's on my left and Silas in the middle.

I learned that Victor is a piano prodigy (which explains the weird act when he said his name) and Silas is from Greek and Gabriel's living with his stepmom, Pam in a trailer. Then I found that they are all academy, which means that they have 'abilities'.

I stopped my assessment, not going into deep searches as soon as I saw that all three of them where from academy that mean Kota could know about academy too, probably. I sighed as I closed the screen and fell back into my bed looking at the night sky. Time to try to get some sleep.

--------------------------------------

It's been two days since the incident on the mall. I've been working on defences and fighting skills and of course, other skills as I felt I would need it to get through a day in high school.

Monday I get my schedule and then school starts so I won't have much time for grocery shopping between doing my homework, actively distracting the people who are hellbend on finding me and to trying to help the academy more.

I know I can do more help to people with my ability and that's exactly what I wanted to and going to do.

I get into my black SUV in black crop hoodie that says 'New York' with dark blue jeans and flannel shirt tied around my waist with Adidas white sneakers and pulled my hair into a ponytail as I start driving to my destination.

I picked a supermarket about 30 minutes away from the house. I still have eating problem due to my step mother- who made me puke up the food I eat half the time or never giving me any food at all that it became a little hard to eat a lot suddenly. A normal person one day meal could feed me for maximum three days.

I shook my head to taking my mind out of my miserable past. I am not living with my stepmother anymore and I'm free, Well, as free as I can be considering people - bad people -looking for me.

It's just a matter of time before I get caught but I am sure as hell is going to make my time worth it. I pulled into the parking lot of the supermarket and parked next to a charcoal grey BMW with tinted window and went into the store.
