My life is pretty normal for a sixteen year old. I wake up, take a shower , go to school, study , then come back home to sleep. Usually I do my homework but today I'm tired. My mom calls me down stairs and tells me to go to the store up the street so I put on a jacket and go. As I go in I hear ¨Give me everything¨ I walk back out quickly a few seconds later I hear gunshots then the door then footsteps. They start getting louder and I realize he's looking for me. I duck behind a trash can and wait . The steps keep getting louder and then. My phone goes off. I hear him running towards me. There's nowhere to go. He's blocking my only route of escape. I turn my phone off and just wait hoping he doesn't see me. He keeps getting closer till I see him. He looks only a few years older than me, maybe 20-21. He looks right at me and aims and fires and nothing happens. I open my eyes to see time has stopped. The bullet is right in front of me but isn't moving. I got up and ran home. I burst through the door and I see everything moving as normal. My mom asks where the groceries are. I told her the store was closed. She leaves it so I go upstairs, take a shower and go to sleep. I woke up the next day trying to figure out if what happened last night was real or a dream. I go downstairs to eat breakfast. I see my mom on the ground unconscious. I ran over to check her pulse. She's still alive. I picked her up which was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I took her to the hospital to make sure she was okay. They told me that she was in a coma but was stable and they would call me if anything changed. I went back to the store to get some snacks then I saw the guy who shot at me. I tried my best to avoid him but he saw me and followed me. I ran out the store he followed then grabbed me. I threw him on instinct into a wall which shattered on impact. I ran across the street to see if anyone was watching while a car came at me. I jumped out of the way but didn't fall. I was flying and I had no idea how. Then i fell not fast but i was falling. I hit the ground and I was fine. I got up and walked to school. In case anyone was following me. As I walked I calmed down which was good because no one seemed to be following me. So I went home and ate my snacks. I then realized I still haven't done my homework. I begrudgingly walked over to my desk and started my homework which was easier than it had been before. I started to feel like something was odd considering homework has never been super easy. I chopped it up to me just overreacting. I went to school the next day, turned in my homework and was immediately called into the principal's office. I was being accused of cheating because all my answers were right and that my answers were at a college level. They thought I just plagiarized my answers from the internet so they gave me a test and said they would watch me do it. It was on stuff I've never studied but I somehow knew all the answers. I finished the test in a minute. They looked it over and saw every single one of my answers were correct. They apologized then they said that I don't have to come to school anymore considering I was too smart for anything they could teach me. Apparently I'm the only one in America who got all the answers right. I went home and ran back into my attempted murderer. This time he didn't say anything, he just kept walking. It shocked me so I just kept walking. I walked to the hospital to see my mom. I told her all the craziness that was happening in my life. As i was about to say something about school she woke up I ran to get the nurse and they checked her vitals she was fine nothing was going on physically. I asked her how she was feeling and she said hungry so I went to get some food then came back. Then we ate. I told her how i don't have to go to school anymore. She was sort of confused how I passed as I was. I told her I was going to go home to take a nap. I left the hospital. I decided I should go for a walk just to clear my head about what was going on in my life. As i was walking i see some kids playing at the park i see them running after a ball that went into the street as they cross to grab it a car comes barreling down the street i run to try and save them but i'm not fast enough but then i am because when i opened my eyes the car was dented by my hand and the kids were behind me. I had stopped a car with my bare hands. I checked my hands for any damages there were none. The car was dented and I was fine. Something was very strange about me but I didn't know what I ran home and started researching to see if anyone else had experiences like mine. They didn't, which made sense. Who can stop cars with one hand? It wouldn't logically make sense. So I went to do some tests. I went to the store and bought a punching bag and some sudoku quizzes just to test how my brain would analyze them. I did them unnaturally easily. I have never done a sudoku in my life. I finished them all in 10 minutes. Then I tested my strength. I lightly punched the punching bag and it flew across the room. I put it back up and punched a little bit harder. My hand went straight through it. Like a knife through butter. I was shocked.I had super strength and enhanced intelligence. I'm amazed that I can save people or I can be selfish and that decision is hard for me to choose. I'm kidding , I'm gonna be a vigilante and help save people. I'm gonna build things to help me and my mom to make money so we can get a better place. I cleaned up most of the sand and ran to the hospital to go see my mom. She was asleep so I went to the department store. I grab sheets of metal and computer chips and tools to build things. I then remembered I didn't have any money so I got a job at the department store to save some money so I could start building things. I picked up all the shifts I could using my strength to make things easier which was kinda unfair but i need the money. By the end of the week I had made $2,500 in cash. I bought the sheets of metal and computer chips and ran home to get to work. I was about to start then I remembered I had no blowtorch or mask which would be kind of difficult to get without an adult. Besides, mom probably wouldn't buy it for me anyway. I then got an idea, Time to find my would be killer. I walked into the alley where we first met and waited watching around for him then finally saw him. I walked out the alley way calmly making sure he didn't see me. I walked behind him and tapped him. He turned around then screamed. I told him I need him to do something for me. He started to argue, then I formed a fist and he agreed. So we started walking to a nearby hardware store he went to. I gave him the money and followed him just in case he tried to run and he bought it for me. But before he handed it to me he started running. I started running after him then remembered I also had super speed because I caught up to him in a flash. I tackled him and we both hit the floor. I reached for the blow torch but he turned around with a blowtorch in hand and blasted me. It didn't hurt. I looked him straight in the face and punched him not hard enough to kill, Just enough to knock him out. I grabbed the blowtorch, turned it off and went home. I melted the sheets down then bent it using my hands then cooled it. I knew exactly how to build the computer. Every step flowed into my mind. Then I finished building the computer and went to bed. I woke up then went to the hospital. Today is moms release date. We went to get ice cream and went for a walk. We talked about my test and wondered if there would be a follow up. While we were talking I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was a TV I had wanted to buy. It was a 60 inch with 4k resolution. I had started saving money before my life got weird. I checked my wallet. I had just enough left over to go and buy it so I grabbed moms hand and started walking over. I checked for cars then walked across the street into the store. I grabbed the tv and took it to the register. I paid then walked home with mom. She made dinner I ate then went to my room. I then remembered that I had left scraps of metal in the basement. I ran down the stairs to clean it up to avoid questioning. I ran down to the basement to find them all over the place. I rushed to hide them to the best of my ability then I heard the steps. They were creaking moms coming and I rushed even faster. By the time she got down the stairs everything was hidden. She asked what I was doing and I said working out. She dropped it and went back upstairs. A few minutes later she came back with oranges and some water. She put them on my desk then went back upstairs. I ate the snacks then went to grab a trash bag. I threw the metal in then went to get rid of it. I told mom I was going to the store. I grabbed some snacks then went back home. On the way home I saw a child who didn't look so good.
