The Academy for the Gifted

Meeting X

After I use my power, I have to relax for a bit until I can use it again so I took a nap on the plane . when i woke from my SLUMBER. I was Energized and ready to go so I decided to use my power.

Putting my mind control on random I heard a series of voices, grabbing my attention from all angles.

Tiffany's face was twisted even in her sleep. I wondered if she was imagining the fun I'm going to have, to her I'm going to the islands, but from there I'm going through some powerful force to the academy .

Drool trickled down her face,it spilled down the chair , I wiggled in my chair so I wouldn't have to feel her slimy spit.

A middle aged man was wishing for this plane to go down or he was gonna puke.At least I was far away so that's good.

A baby was thinking about Barney.how she wished she could watch it and stuff. Babies are really smart when you start to hear them think.

A teenage boy in the row behind me was wondering when this plane gonna stop so he can go to Gifted Academy...Wait! He was going to the academy too!

Bravely I turned around in my chair , "You're going to the academy?"I asked.

"Huh" he said, startled at my approach.

I would be freaked out too if some girl just turned around and asked me if I'm going to the Academy too.

"You're going to the academy too?" I repeated.

"Um-mm.... yeah" He paused. "Who are you?" the boy asked awkwardly.

"I'm Miranda. I'm going too." I'm X he responded politely.

"Short for Xaveir ?" I asked.

" Nope." He said popping the 'p' "Just X".

I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was mom.

"You can't go exposing the academy like that." She scolded.

" But he's going too!" I countered, barely able to contain my excitement.

"Just be careful !" she warned. turning back, I looked at him,

"What's your power?"I asked

" I can't show you here." He whispered.

I was forced to read his thoughts, invisibility.

"Cool power" I commented.

" I already know yours. " X said smirking. I smiled. We talked about how we thought it would be like this year.

After our conversation, I fell asleep.

Tiffany yanked me back and forth to wake me.Apparently the plane had landed and the passengers were leaving . I knew Tiffany was super jealous but seriously couldn't she find a way to wake me WITHOUT taking my shoulder out its socket.? I rubbed my shoulder and X who was all ready to go helped me get my bags from the overhead compartment. Just then I noticed my mom was gone, looking around I found her coming from the bathroom. I was already imagining all the story-like Plots that could have happened.

A villain trying to kill her .

A evil wizard trying to make me his slave.

Someone who overheard the conversation of X and I.

Hey don't judge I'm still knew to this whole gifted thing & with all these powers who knows. Anything could happen.

( or I'm just crazy. Either one works)

My mom only talks to strangers that are my friends so I guess she considered X my friend because she asked him where is parents were. "There not here" he responded. He got quiet.

" Can't we take him with us since we're going the same place?"

" Would your parents allow you to?" mother asked.

" Yeah, I guess," X shrugged. Meanwhile Tiffany noticeably rolled her eyes so X added quickly " If that's no problem to you guys."

" It's not. Tiffany just has a problem with everything that doesn't include her." I said " So lets go"

---§§§§§§§§§§§§§---

We hailed a Taxi and they charged per person per mile. Mother expected this and since she didn't want to bring extra cash so we didn't get robbed so she had no money for X. Mother fished around in her purse while the driver was coming to a stop. X told my mom his power and she blocked him so he could vanish and get on for free. We opened the door and the fresh scent of leather and air freshener greeted us.

"Last passengers of the day," The driver said. "Where are you headed?"

Mom gave him the address of Pillows Dock where all the gifted ones would unite.

" My daughter going there too so I'll only have to make one trip. I was hoping you weren't going in another direction." The taxi driver said.

I looked around for his daughter I think he saw me because he called for her. "Time to go." He said.

At that moment a girl with blond hair & turquoise highlights appeared in the passenger seat.

" Teleportation." she said. Her voice sounded so smooth and innocent unlike her appearance.
