It was the next day, and I was ready as ever. I quickly jumped out of bed, but slowly walked to my closet when I sort of huryt my ankle. I grabbed a tank top and a sweater for on top and some shorts.

When it was time to go, I rushed out the door and into my dad's car. On the way, me and my dad sang along to some TobyMac songs until we made it to the school. I kissed my dad then ran in the building, ready to see my friends. I rushed into Ms. Bevan's room to nobody but Jake. 

     "What are you doing here Jake? And where is everybody else?"

"Oh, they went outside for a fun day. But I need to talk to you."

       "What is it Jake?"

Jake was silent for a few moments. He seemed sort of hesitant. Then he said somethingwould never expect him to say.

"You are a special girl Ana. You may not believe me, but...you have powers. You can alter reality, grow nature, and more powers that even I don't know what they are. I have powers too."

It took me a few minutes to process these words in my mind. Then,  Jake went up closer to me.

    "Jake? Are y-you alright.?"

Then..something crazy happened. Jake hugged me. He somehow was telling me somethimg without even moving this lips. 'I finally have someone who knows. I have been an outcast for so long...being bullied for my abilities. Now...I have someone who understands.'

I smiled. It always felt good inside when I did something to help someone or make them feel better. My eyes lit up with compassion. We separated, and the sat in our seats. As everyone came in, I couldn't help but smile. I made someone feel special...and not alone.
