Dear Diary,
Hi! My name is Addie Miller. I'm just a normal 12 year old girl. Well.... sort of. Most of my facial features are normal. I'm a curly brunette with peach pink lips and an olive complexion. And then you see my eyes... They are a vibrant violet. Don't get me wrong it's my FAVOURITE colour but my eye colour came from a rare unknown genetic mutation which also caused something else. I manifest superpowers.

Your probably thinking " What's so wrong with having superpowers?" Well it means I have never been able to have a normal life. I was born with all of them and there are many more for me to unlock as I get older. I don't even know half of them! My parents say I have had telekinesis since I was born. They say that they noticed it when building blocks started moving around without anyone touching them. Because of this ability I have never had the need to hold anything with my hands.

When I started to go to Kindergarten, I manifested the power to talk with animals. My little sister Lucy had just been born at the time and she used to marvel at me when I summoned birds to land on my shoulder and dance and sing for me. It was wonderful to see her stare up at me, full with wonder and joy but now she's mostly grown up it's normal for her to see and hear birds around the house 24-7.

Then I started primary school. The teachers yelled at me alot in the beginning for using my powers in class but it was first nature to me and I couldn't break the habit of using my telekinesis and I couldn't stop birds flocking to me for help. The first day they were mostly startled and then they saw how different I am from other kids and the extent of my powers. I guess they were just scared I would hurt someone on accident, or even on purpose. Then they found they couldn't do anything to stop me and just ignored me completely.

I had also manifested my third power by then: to manipulate the natural elements and sources. On odd days or when I'm not well I have random power surges and all the drink bottles explode. That's the bad thing about having powers. Sometimes they go out of control and I get in massive amounts of trouble when it's not even my fault! The other annoying thing is that most people think having super powers are awesome and want to be my BFF but then others are supposedly "jealous" of me and bully me. I mean it's annoying but not as bad as my other reason.

Well here's my biggest confession: I'm lonely. I don't want friends that only like me because I have super powers. I yearn for understanding. Well me and my family are going to Hawaii for a vacation this summer. Maybe I'll find a true friend there. Oh and since I'm going to high school next year I might get a new power too!

Mum says I have to go to bed now, Goodnight!
