So Close yet So Far

Chapter 1

Tara's P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of my digital alarm clock. Today's the day I would leave home. I got out of my bed and took a quick shower and went down after I was down packing my bags. After I ate my breakfast and brushed my teeth my mom drove me to the boarding school.

"So excited for this school hon?" my mom asked me. I didn't respond because I actually felt bored going to this school. I already knew how to control my powers but I needed to control it better and that's why I had to go to school. I was sitting at the back seat of the car playing with my mechanical bullpen. It was made out of pure metal even the ink. I kept playing with it until t floated since my powers are that I can control metal. I could only break parts of a metal piece and make it float but I couldn't bend it. Whenever I bended it I tend to go unconscious.

My powers should be kept a secret because my kind of power was rare. My family said that they were other people with different abilities going into this school. The only hope I had going into this school is that other people have the same ability as me hopefully.

After an hour we arrived at our destination. I popped a piece of bubblegum into my mouth before going out of the car. I grabbed my stuff out of the back of the car and said goodbye to mom while she was driving off.

I looked at the school it had a weird sign above it. I couldn't make it out properly because the weather around here was really gloomy and dark like it was about to rain. No one was outside the school which made it looked abandoned and was not used in years. I started walking toward the school doors and as I was getting closer I could hear noises like growling, barking neighing and other weird noises.

Once I opened the door all I could see were students that looked normal like humans except that some of them had wings on their backs while some were in portable bowls since they had fish like tails. I was walking around trying to find the registration table until I spotted a boy looking at me. He was hanging out with other boys. They all looked about my age. The boy who was looking at me quickly stopped and started chatting with his friends. I ignored the looks he kept giving me and I kept looking for the registration table. Someone was right beside me keeping up with my pace and when I looked at who it was. It was the boy looking at me before and up close he looked entirely familiar. I raised my eyebrow questionably at him when he looked at me.

"Hi, I'm Dominic Carter but call me Dom" he said while he held up his hand for me to shake. I shook it. "Hey, I'm Tara Blaze" I said with a smile and I noticed that his eyes widened a little but I ignored it like what I usually do when I'm around other people. After a while I found the registration table and registered. Dominic did the same.

I already got my schedule and keys for my dorm. I looked at the keys and they had a number on it '151'. I found my room and to my surprise I saw two other girls having a pillow fight.
