School For Freaks

Chapter 2

This Chapter is dedicated to MustachioKat who plays Lyla<3

I look around outside and see tons of people laying around on the grass or talking to one another in groups. Some people were looking at me and others were completely ignoring me. It was nice outside, almost dark but not completely. I was glad it was Friday night. That meant no school tomorrow, so I had the whole weekend to get accommodated with my new school and home.

I finally found John, he was lounging on a huge rock. One of those rocks you'd see at a middle school or highschool with all the writing on it. He was talking to some pretty girl who looked a few years younger then us. She had long black hair and when she moved her head I could make out a single silver streak.

I walked up to them and said hi to John. He had just finished laughing at something the girl said.

"Tori, this is Lyla Martinez. She is a Sophomore here and a very good friend of mine. Lyla, this is Tori; the new girl I was telling you about." He said motioning us to each other.

I waved at her awkwardly, "Hey," I said lamely, "Nice to meet you."

"You too, so how do you like campus so far?" She asked motioning around.

"It's great! So beautiful, and everyone seems pretty friendly," I said and smiled.

"Not trying to make everything awkward or anything, but you are just as pretty as John said." She turned to John a huge smile on her face.

I looked over at John quickly, he turned his face but I could tell he was blushing wildly and had a smile on his face too. I could feel my face getting hot, no doubt in my mind that I was as red as a tomato.

"Thanks, and thank you too John. You're very pretty yourself Lyla and John you aren't that bad either. But let's change the subject before Johnny boy here faints with embarrassment." I say turning back to Lyla.

Her smile grew bigger, and she said "We're going to get along great."

"Yeah, just another girl to pick on me with you huh?" John said laughing and shaking his head.

"I may be younger then you but isn't going to stop me from picking on you when I want; and you know I'd never do it just to hurt you're feelings. And I'll kick some ass for you if I need to." She said lightly shoving him.

It seemed Lyla and I had a lot in common, we both don't take shit from anyone, and we both stick up and care for our friends. She was right, we were going to get along great. Hell, it was almost as if we are friends already!

"Yeah, I know! But hey, I got to get going. It's almost time for everyone to get back to their dorms. I'll talk to you guys later, okay?" He said turning to me.

I nodded in understanding, "Yeah, that's fine. I'll just have Lyla keep me company." I said and waved as he turned to leave.

He got half way down the sidewalk before he turned back and waved to both of us. We waved back then Lyla turned and started walking back to the girls dorm motioning for me to follow.

"So how long have you been going here?" I asked.

"I've been here about a year, John pretty much took me under his wing from the start. Life outside of here was pretty bad, I mean I had lots of friends and all, my parents were nice too, but the school I went to wasn't very accepting of a girl with strange capabilities you know?" She said, shrugging like it wasn't a big deal.

"I know what you mean, accept for the fact that my parents treated me like an outcast and pretty much ran me over to get away from me when I got all my stuff out of the car. I didn't even know I was coming here until we pulled up." I said, feeling the anger in me rise up again.

I took a deep breath calming myself before I made a earth quake or some tree start to fly. I hated the fact that when I got angry I couldn't really control my telekinesis.

"Damn, that sucks. I'd have been super depressed and angry if my parents were like that." Lyla said.

"You have no clue, sometimes I get so mad that I accidentally shake things or hurt people, it's like I lose control of myself."

"Well then it's a good thing you are here. They can help you control you're power." She said.

I nodded and we walked in silence for a few minutes before we reached the dorms, I opened the doors and we walked up the stairs to our rooms. I said my goodbyes and we said we talk to more tomorrow.

I closed my door behind me and went over to my bed. "Seems like I'm going to like it here." I said before I finally dozed off, not even bothering to change into pajamas.
