Finally Normal (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

How can I be normal? How can I control my anger without hurting anybody? When will I be able to live normally, where I can relax without having the feeling like everything and every mistake I've made is going to come crashing down on me? These are the questions I ask myself every morning as I wake up. The questions I'm asking myself now as I climb out of bed and put on my usual outfit, skinny jeans, a black quarter sleeved shirt, a black and white scarf,and my favorite black boots that reached just below my knee.

I put on some mascara, and eyeliner, grabbed my bag, and head into the kitchen where my grandmother is making the usual breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, and toast, while my grandfather is reading the newspaper.I drop my bag down by my feet as I sit in my chair waiting for my breakfast.

"Remember what I told you Lorelee" my grandmother starts, giving her daily lecture about what I already knew from hearing it everyday. Of course this day was no different.

"You need to control your anger because you the know the consequences if you mess up right?" she asks.

"Of course she knows, Luce. You only tell her the same thing every day" my grandfather told her, chuckling.

I finish my breakfast, tell my grandparents goodbye, and start walking to school. Unlike almost every other high schooler, I was forced to walk to school because I couldn't afford a car. The walk takes about thirty minutes but I enjoy the peace. Today was one of the lucky days when there was no rain, only sunshine.

Even though there was no wind, I simply made the leaves drift in the air, pushed by the wind I created. I only had to focus my mind on the earth and I controlled nature. I controlled the wind, plants, water, the weather, and earth, as in rocks and stuff. I tried not to control them often, because if I happened to bring attention to myself, or cause any harm, we would move once again.

We had moved several times throughout my life when my anger got the best of me. Sometimes I couldn't control myself anymore. But my Senior year is going great so far. Even though I have no friends, I'd rather be lonely than have to start over again. Be the new and have to deal with all the staring. I reach the school and walk to my homeroom. I take the seat in the back, hating attention, which I guess is a good thing since I wasn't supposed to draw attention to myself anyways. I'm sitting waiting for the bell to ring when my homeroom teacher walks in with two new students.

"Everyone, this is Matt and Tori" he says with a smile. I glanced at the brother and sister. When I looked into Tori's eyes, I was engulfed in a memory.

When I little and my parents were still around, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to use my.... abilities. I came home from kindergarten and told my parents how it stormed on the playground. My parent's exchanged glances, and packed up all our belongings. As we got in the car, I spotted two kids from my class staring at me as we drove off. We reached my grandparent's and they dropped me off. They simply brought my stuff in and drove away, not explaining why the left. My grandma and grandpa later told me that my parents thought I was putting them in danger. They were scared of me.

I look up from my seat. What had just happened? Then I look up at them again and they staring straight at me. Creepy. They walk to the back back of the room and tare the two seats across from me. Tori is beautiful. She has straight blond hair that falls down her back with blue eyes. Matt is gorgeous. He has black hair that reaches his eyes and has piercing dark blue eyes. They both look up and smile at me, like they know I am observing them. I quickly look away.

The rest of the day passed until lunch and I head over to my usual table by the window. I am silently eating my lunch when I hear two chairs pull out in front of me. I look up only to see Matt and Tori.

"Hi I'm Tori. This is Matt" she introduces with an excited voice. I like her.

"Ummm...... I'm Lorelee." I say. I am wondering why people like them, who could obviously be popular, are talking to and sitting with someone like me.

"Because we like you! And we know who you are. Trust me" she answers the question I asked in my mind. I stared at her in disbelief.

"What?" I asked but out loud this time.

"You know what! Look, don't freak out, but we know what you can do. But we're the same! We are just like you!" she says with a huge grin across her face.

I stared at her in disbelief. People like me? Who would actually understand me? I couldn't believe it. I didn't. They had to know about me, but not because they were like me. I was a freak. I wasn't like anybody else. The thought made me sad.

"You're not a freak Lorelee"

"Look, I don't know who you are, but you know nothing about me. You're either lying to me, or you nuts. There isn't anybody like me." I grabbed my lunch and started to walk away when Matt places his hand on me.

"Lorelee, you can trust us. We do understand you." he comforted me. I suddenly feel calm, a feeling I never experience at school. What was happening? I tried to be angry but couldn't.

"Please just let us talk." Tori asks.

"Fine. But lunch doesn't last forever so hurry up." I snap.

"Ok, so all three of us have.... abilities I guess you could say. Me, I can read minds and speak to people in my mind, and heal. Matt can give and feel others emotions and tell when people are lying. That's why your so calm right now. You. You are very powerful. I mean really, really powerful. Why? Because guess who your dad is? He's Jason, the most powerful Moråynen ever created. He sent us here to bring you to him and your mom-" she says before I stop her.

"Stop. Don't lie about my parents! They abandoned me! They didn't want me because they thought I was putting them in danger! Whoever told you that is lying! My parent's don't care about me and I don't even know if they're alive! So don't talk about them like they're some prophecy!" I yell as a tear falls down my face. I push my chair back and start to leave.

"Lorelee wait!" Matt beggs. But I wasn't waiting. I was furious and I needed to get out of there. I walk up to the cafeteria doors when my least favorite person in 12th grade blocks my exit. Aria.

"Awwww. Did the new kids finally come to their senses and stop hanging out with the freak?" she asks with a fake pout.

I try to push my way through her before something bad happened but she blocks my exit again. I was done with her and done with everything else. I don't care what happens anymore. I stare straight at her and she flies into the wall beside me. A wind starts blowing in the cafeteria and I see Matt and Tori sprinting toward me. Outside a thunderstorm starts and thunder rumbles and lightning strikes. Once I realize what I was doing my eyes widen with fear. I also realize I used to much energy, so I rush out of the cafeteria and into the hallway before I see Matt and Tori rushing over me as I slip into total darkness
