Code: Error

* ~ Chapter 5 ~ *

The next day, I was walking to school, blasting some Taylor Swift through my headphones. Today was a nice day, but it was still chilly so I decided to wear my pink plaid fluffy coat. It's pretty damn long, as it reaches slightly farther than my knees. To be honest, I was elated to see Dexter. Despite it only being about just one day, we were already calling ourselves best friends; we even got each other's numbers during school, which made me joyful as I could just spam him like my dad does.

As I arrived at school, a girl snuck up behind me along with Dexter. They were both laughing, and so was I. I was quizzical of who the girl was. But, I didn't mind if she was his girlfriend or even his sister.

"Hey, Ronnie! This is my sister, Charlie!"

She gave off a why wave and I did it back.

"Hi, I'm Charlie, as you heard. So, if you were wondering where I was then I was just at home yesterday. I had a stomach bug."

I held up the L sign. "Ha, L," I said, teasing her, which benefitted me into a light slap on my hand. We walked through the halls for a little.

"Coming from the one who can't drink milk!" she exclaimed back in the same manner.

"Shut up!" I laughed.

"How about no?"

"You should."

"Welp, this is America. We're in a free country here!"

"Alright alright that's enough," Dexter chimed. "No need to argue like you're in a Nickelodeon sitcom." As he said this, he threw his arms up in the air in an overexaggerated manner, which caused us both to laugh so hard we started coughing a little. Luckily, it wasn't an asthma flare up so everything was fine. We got to the cafeteria where we wait at until school begins and sat down at an empty table. I had gotten an idea. 'This shall be fun,' I thought, as I decided to move closer to Charlie.

"Charlie, staring contest?"

"Ooh, you're on."

At that moment, I stared so hard at her. Charlie was holding in laughter; I could tell just by her facial expressions. Not even a few seconds later, there was a little draft. Charlie didn't even notice, until I started to stare even harder. She started to get scared. At that moment, I knew I was so fucking done. But then, someone began to poke me repeatedly.

"Look at the new kid, all staring contest obsessed." It was some girl with blonde hair, red plaid pants, and a T-shirt. Welp, here comes the fun.

I quickly gave her the middle finger. Of course, she had to laugh.

"It's just a finger what harm can it do?"

At that moment, I grew furious. The room began to heat up. Stuff was looking warped; REALLY warped.

"GET THE FUCK. OUT. OF. MY. LIFE!!!"

At that moment, things got so warped and I had made a fire. And it was huge. Everyone around me looked horrified at the sight. Many were paralyzed in fear. I backed away slowly. I began to hyperventilate in shock. At that moment, tears started to well up, and my voice was cracking; I thought I was going to cry.

Dexter and Charlie turned to look at me.

"Ron, did you do that?" Dexter had questioned me.

The tears finally began to stream down like a waterfall. No, Ronnie, you can't cry! You hate crying! But still, the waterfall was still descending down my cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry..I have to go!"

I ran off as fast as I could. Charlie seemed worried now.

"RONNIE, WAIT!"

It was too late. I had already ran away as far from everyone as I could. Holy shit, I can't believe I just did that. I wasn't supposed to! Why the hell did I do that?! There was no reason for me to start a whole ass fire! I hid in the janitor's closet and I just sat and cried like a whiny little pussy.

"Why did I do that?!" My voice was quavering, cracking, breaking. It all happened so fast. It was just my anger, but I should not have showed what I was capable of! "Do I have to be this stupid?! No one had to witness that; they're probably tramuatized now! UGH, OH MY GOD! I HATE MYSELF NOW!" As I sat there and sobbed so uncontrollably, I looked up and started to think about all of my fears.

My abilities being revealed, being hunted, having to be on the run. None of this was happening, but what if it did?

This worries me now. What if they find out my secret? What will happen to me?
Looks like my life has gone downhill and into a different direction.
