"People actually think I want this? Are you kidding me?" Celeste exclaimed to Allee, she was practically screaming. "I wish I could cover my arm!" Allee and Celeste were in the girls bathroom, Allee was trying to talk to Celeste calmly but that bitch back in class has her at her last wits.
"Celeste, she's an idiot. She will never understand you. I don't think anyone ever will. But that is what makes you so unique." Allee grabbed Celeste by the shoulders. "Your hair has the red tent to it."
"I figured." Celeste turned to the crappy bathroom mirror and ran her hands through her newly red hair. Allee rambled though Celeste's bag and pulled out her strips.
"Here."
"Thank you." Celeste laid the coconut flavored strip of strange, green medicine onto her tongue. After a few seconds, Celeste's hair was back to her usual purple hair, with no signs of red. Allee led her back to class and they took a seat. Mr. Sweeney, her English 3 teacher had a concerned look on his, adult face and they locked eyes.
I'm alright. I swear. She was out of line to say that, but I'm over it.
Celeste was not your average girl. She looked of it but unfortunately she wasn't. Celeste was not of this world, Earth. She is from Tanson, a similar planet to Earth but 4 galaxies over. Her people had power, but settle ones. Not flying or laser eyes like Earth movies think, more of telepathy or hearing nature, hyper-photogenic memory, mind sharing, things like that. Celeste's old best friend Zoid, was a SUPER genius. When he discovered a way to travel the universe at a quicker rate, she accidentally fell into the beam and was shot to Earth, nearly 3 Earth years ago. Celeste was not her real name, but she was from the stars so Celeste, like celestial, fit. The people of her planet had marks, kind of like tattoos except they form when a traumatic even happens and they are not pictures of any kind. Celeste had several, one from when her mother passed when she was 7, this left 7 dots over her heart. not in any order, just dots, like freckles. Another is when she was almost killed in a building fire, this left red splotches starting from her left hand fingers all the was up to her elbow. Only special people have two powers, like Celeste; she has mind sharing, meaning she can share thoughts and memories with others and vice versa. Sometimes she can hear or see what others are thinking. She also has hair that changes with her mood, her natural color being purple. This was her first power, somehow, the mind sharing came to her after the red splotches. Celeste wasn't ugly. In fact, she was quite beautiful. Her purple hair sat midway down her back and had a natural wave to it. Her skin was always smooth and her eyes were the strangest, one was green and the other was brown. Her face was perfect, like a movie star. Her teeth were as straight as can be and they never turned any other color but white. She was a little shorter then the average height but she was lanky. As for clothing, she wore skinny jeans and boots with whatever shirt or sweater she had. Most of it was of dark colors but sometimes color didn't hurt. She always wore something related to the sky: moon necklaces, sun rings, alien shirts or buttons, or anything like that.
Obviously, she couldn't tell anyone about who she was, but Allee was there when Celeste was zapped onto Earth. She had to project nearly her entire life to Allee so she didn't turn her in or something. As for Mr. Sweeney, he was frustrated one day and Celeste accidentally caught a few brain waves and they swapped thoughts. After class she had to explain to him as well. They are her only real friends, Celeste doesn't particularly like the Earthlings in the school she attends. They talk about her, they are mean. Celeste could project terrible images into their mind but when she did it one time, that kid didn't come to school for 3 weeks and she felt absolutely terrible and vowed to never do that again.
