Discovering Elements

Chapter One-High School

KAITI

Kaiti was trotted into math class like she did every day at 9:36 am. She stumbled inside the class room as all the bullies sneered. She walked quickly to her desk with her head down. The bullies had been torturing her for years, her own pack of demons to make her fear.

Kaiti woke as the teacher dragged her fingers across the board, screeching penetrating the room. The teacher walked slowly, angrily towards her. 

"WHAT WERE YOU JUST DOING YOUNG LADY!" screeched the teacher. Kaiti stood quietly and walked to the principals office wordlessly.

As she shambled to the office her hands became increasingly warm. She simply put it aside and shouldered her way into the office. As the principal turned slowly she winced with pain. The burning in her palms grew hotter, almost like a warm spring. The principal handed her a detention form, not even letting her defend herself, she had entered this room too many times she knew the drill. She had exceeded the limit of detentions too, so she would be suspended. Suddenly the burning in her hands grew with the feeling of anger. A deep roar drowned out the sound of the construction across the street.

A shriek yelled "flood" and caused mayhem. Kaiti stood still, somehow understanding the situation slightly. The speeding water blew in a concentrated current straight towards the principal, and from a scream, her teacher. Kaiti eyes opened wide as the realization hit her, it was targeting them. In her mind she thought "let them be let them be" desperatly. Right before contact, something clicked in her mind ,sending the  water into a moving, but not fast, puddle. In fear of herself, she ran into Snahori mountain forest, the largest mountain range nearby.

Izak

Izak stood in front of his class, nervous,as today was speech day. He hated public speaking. He would have stayed home, but the project was three quarters of his grade. He started his lecture on reverse psychology when a spitball hit him in the nose. In the back of the room he saw the straw quickly disappear. He started again but was hit by another wad of spit and paper. He kept talking and they eventually stopped coming. As he neared the end of his speech, one straggler came straight towards his eye. He quickly ducked, but it got stuck in his hair. Anger coursed through his veins, and he started to literally heat up. Suddenly, with no scientific cause, his whole body caught on fire. He lifted his arms and stared into the swirling black and blue flames. Around him everything started to melt in the heated blur. In a quick moment of cold fear the fire went out. With a feeling of sharp fear, like the edge of a knife, he ran into the woods.

Cai

Cai walked confidently down the halls. He was going to gym class, to play his favorite sport- football. A teacher pulled him over, degrading his mood. He blanked out, probably something about his science homework. A quick movement caught his eye. Turning around and irritating the teacher, he caught the speeding projectile. An enemy player was trying to cripple him before the game. With surprising, inhuman speed he dodged the textbook. The teacher immediately started to lecture him, but he ducked out. He'd make it up sometime.
He quickly rushed into the locker room before the bell rang, got dressed quickly, and went into the gym. Almost nothing could bring down his mood, excitement gurgling in his chest like a pot of boiling water. His teacher, Mr. Moning, started to begin warm ups. After several sit-ups, push-ups, and other exercises, they headed out to the field. He started to get ready to punt the ball when a rock hit him on the side of his head, hard. His eyes rolled, and his body made a squishing sound, hitting the muddy and dew-covered grass. A weak moan escaped his lips as he passed out.
It took him a minute, but he finally came to, his cheeks regaining their color. The guy who hit was standing over him, smirking. A tingling feeling ignited his whole body. He started to rise up, a look of pure anger etched on his face. The kid tried running, but, to his dismay, Cai moved at inhuman speeds, barely catchable to the human eye. Cai raised his fist, and lightning shot out of his fingers. Horror masked his face and the crumpled body of his attacker, burn marks and black lines sketched over his body. He ran into the mountains, fearing what he had done, and could do.
