Katrina's POV

The car I was in, with my dad driving and my mom in the passenger seat, slowly came to a stop. I peered out the window to see the gloomy school, built like a castel, only to be disappointed. "Really, guys? You mistook this mental hospital for a school." I remarked. "You wanna try that again?" My mom snapped back. I rolled my eyes and continued to scan the school.

"It could be worse." My dad spoke from the front of the car. He slowly got out of the car to get my bags. I groaned loudly as I slipped farther back into the backseat. "This school is gonna drive me up the fucking wall." I mumbled. "Katrina, get out of the car right now. Help your parents for once." My mom said, angrily.

I slid toward the door on the seat and opened the door, taking my first step on the ground of Jericho. The floor was decorated with a cobblestone patrern. "How did Dorothy skip with heals?! I can't even stand with my sneakers on." I said, earning a chuckle from my dad. "I don't know, how did the scarecrow talk if he didn't have a brain?" He said in response. I laughed and continued to help my parents with my luggage. I certainly had a lot of belongings.

A tall lady with white hair came out of the doors of the school. "Ahh, the Cestillar family has arrived." She exclaimed. She has an English accent. "Welcome to Nevermore. I'm assuming this one is the one you've brought to us, hm?" She cooed, pointing at me. I already didn't like her. Don't treat me like a fucking toddler, lady. I though to myself.

"Yes, this is her." My mom said. "Ohm, Dr. Kinbott will be seeing her, yes? Every Thursday afternoon?" She continued. Of course she would bring this up first. "Yes, we have the whole schedule planned out. We'll make sure she has a break down of everything. I'm Ms. Weems, by the way." She stated, reaching her hand out to my dad first. He shook it and my mom did afterward.

Then she reached towards me. I took her hand and shook it. "Firm handshake, Katrina." She said. "I've been practicing for a while." I said, with a sarcastic smile. A felt a small but painful pinch on my back. Mother. "Ow." I whispered. Ms. Weems looked at me then turned her hand toward my parents. "Come! Come inside, we don't bite. I'll have staff bring her luggage to her room." She said, as she gestured us to follow her inside the building.

We were seated in a large office, with a door labeled 'Principal Weems.' I was seated in between my parents. I stared blankly at Weems. "Just so you know, we were informed than colours make her nauseous so we made all of her uniforms black. Okay? Okay. So, I understand that your daughter has had trouble with her previous-" She coughed, as she looked at the paper. "Erm, her previous fourt-fourteen schools?" She said, struggling. I almost laughed at her awkwardness. "Due to her abilities? Which are, telekinesis, levitation, teleportation, mind control, mind reading, shape-shifting, phycic abilities, conjuring, element control,"

She looked at me astonished as she took a breath. "and last but certantly not least, laser eyes?" She slowed down and it sounded more like a question than a statement. The woman was too stunned to speak. I thought. "Yep." I said. A tiny grin on my face. "I was seen as a freak and got bullied a lot. I always thought, 'A bloody start must have a bloody end." I ended my statement with a scoff. "Idiots." I mumbled.

My mother glared at me. "And that's exactly the reason we are sending her to therapy."

"Oh, yeah, totally not because both of my siblings are dead, I've tried to commit three times, I have been manipulated, gaslit, guilt tripped, I've done self-harm many times, abuse by family members, I have been exposed to many things as a child and I'm only 15. Can you believe it?" I replied back. Principal Weems looked at me. "I'm so very sorry to hear that, Katrina." She said. No you're not. I thought. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, I'm numb now. It doesn't matter anymore." I sighed and sat back.
