Everybody Has 1 Power

Chapter 5 | Power

When I arrived at school, my eyes glowed green and I could suddenly see everyone's thoughts, I ran to the girls' toilets, covered my eyes and hid. Why does this keep happening? Actually.. I could have some fun with this. I walked out of the girls' toilets but I was still picking at my nails behind my back as a way to fight the nervousness. I walked near John and he looked at me. He smirked as he noticed my eyes glowing green, I totally forgot that my eyes would glow green. I need it to stop so no one else notices. It wasn't stopping and someone went to get a teacher because they were concerned. The teacher told them to get back to class and me to get back to sleep. I was relieved. Did she know it was a family thing? How? I'm slightly shocked. Someone walks up to me and shoves me. I roll my eyes and stand back up. I have PE first. I hate PE unless it's rugby or football or something. We're doing trampolining, which I won't complain about I used to do trampolining. I'm not amazing at it but I'm good at it. I got changed and a girl approached me, I didn't know she would end up teasing me. She said, ''Sorry about Stacy dying. Your all alone now and no one to be friends with you. Sad.'' She laughs. I try to walk away to get dressed into my PE clothes. She wasn't letting me pass. I don't know why, she wanted to taunt me about something that wasn't funny, my best friend dying and now their taunting me! It's not fair. Another girls approaches and I roll my eyes and suddenly my eyes glow green and my hands glow green too. Is this telekinesis?! How do I stop it! I roll my eyes again and it stopped. That's what causes it! Rolling my eyes! I can finally control it! But they saw.. they started to walk away because they are scared.. I think. I don't know for sure but I'm guessing. I get changed into my PE clothes and walk into the PE hall, where the PE teacher was waiting. The two girls were staring at me with fear, because of what happened before PE. Good. I'm happy they are scared so they don't taunt me about Stacy again. Oh. Stacy. I had suddenly forgotten about her for a while. I miss her. She would've stopped that situation and I would've told her everything about my powers but it's too late. The teachers know. I think. I was getting changed afterwards and a girl approached me, she had a kind smile on her face but I still didn't trust her because those two girls could've told her what happened before PE. She spoke, ''hey, you're Adeline?'' I nodded, she had a Russian accent. She was the exchange student that we had today. I forgot about her. ''What's your name?'' I ask. She seemed quiet. She was definitely Russian, I could tell. Russian people have that.. feel about them and I could feel it. She answered, ''Anya.'' I liked her name, it was unique, I always liked Russian names because they were unique. They remind me of some mythical creatures. Not in bad ways. ''That name's cool. It's not like the English way at all. I've always wanted to be Russian when I was younger. Why did you move to America of all places?'' She looked slightly upset, ''Because Russia is in a war with Ukraine and my parents thought it was the best idea to move to America so it's safer.'' I felt slightly bad. I didn't know about that. I wonder what it's like to be apart of a war. It must be hell. It doesn't look good on the news when your watching it, let alone when your experiencing it in real life. ''Was you there when the war started?'' Anya nodded, she obviously missed her home. Who wouldn't? Having to move countries because of a war must be heartbreaking, I would hate it. Maybe me and this girl could be friends. Anya asks, ''Can we be friends? I don't have any friends yet and I heard about you losing your best friend..'' I nod, wait. she wants to be my friend..?
