Elite Academy

Chapter one

~three  months later~

I stand on our balcony leaning against the black railing. I lift up my hand up to my face but slightly away. I shut my eyes and open them to see the sparks coming off my finger tips. I flick around my fingers to release the sparks into the air and watch them disappear into thin air. I chuckle lightly to myself. It's been three months since I have discovered my power. It's an amazing experience. Although many bad things has happened since then.

    I got kicked out of school since I burned half of that guys face off, that I later learned his name is Charles and his parents sued the hell out of mine. I am now homeschooled with no friends because they are all scared of me. The only people who except me are my parents and my girlfriend Haley. I am so lucky to have a girl like Haley.

An arm around my shoulder interrupts my thoughts. I see those blue eyes and that perfectly straight blonde hair I love so much.

"Hey beautiful." I say. She smiles removing her arm and placing her head on my shoulder. I wrap my arm around her shoulder and lean my head on top of hers.

"How are you." She asks me.

"I am fine. Why?" I ask her

"I just want to make sure your fine." she says removing my arm from her shoulder

"Obviously you're not, what's wrong?" I ask her. She looks down at her  sandals.

"I have been thinking. " She says still looking down at the floor. I walk up to her and she looks up into my eyes.

"I think we should take a break." She says. My heart shatters. I close my eyes to prevent the tears from coming.

"Haley why?" I ask her with my voice breaking.

"I feel like we don't work anymore. We are growing apart." Haley says looking at the floor once again.

"Haley you know God damn well we aren't growing apart. We are fine! What's really going on?" Haley leans in the railing.

"That's.. That's the truth." She says

"You're lying.. Haley, do you think I am going to hurt you?" I ask her. She stays silent.

"Haley I would never hurt you."

"Just like you didn't mean to hurt Charles." She says getting off of the railing and crossing her arms

"It was an accident! Haley you know that!" I yell

"I don't know what's what anymore." She says. I can feel my fists getting hotter and hotter.

"Now you can see why." She says nodding her head toward my burning hands. I can see my fists full of fire and I close my eyes to cool off.

"Good bye Jacob." And she walks away. I stay on the balcony. I walk over to the railing and grab it.

"Fuck!" I yell and I burned off some of the railing. I hold the burnt piece in my hand and head inside. I run down the stairs and into the kitchen. I see my mom cooking something in the kitchen.

"Did Haley leave?" I ask her and she nods her head.

"I am so glad you guys stayed together. I really like her." I throw the piece of metal on the dining table

"Yeah we are still together and so fucking happy mom."  I say sarcastically. My mom pops her head out of the kitchen and walks out

"Honey what happened." She asks me while I start to tear up

"She left me mom! She is scared of me!" My hands heat up again

"I am a monster!"

"Jake cool down." She says and I do so

"You are not a monster." She says hugging me

"Where is dad?" I ask

"Still at work. He will be home late." She says

"Mom why has this happened?" I ask her expecting to know the answer when I know she doesn't

"I don't know."

"I need to control this power. I don't know how."

"Don't worry we will find a way Jacob." She says and I nod my head slowly.

"Go to sleep its late." She rubs my arms and I head back upstairs to my room. I close my door and strip down to just my underwear. I pull off the covers and lay down in my huge bed. I think about Haley and the look in her face every time my hands start to flame. I am a monster. Finally I drift off to sleep.

~the next morning~

"Jake wake up!" I hear in my ear. I see my parents hovering over me. I jolt up to see most of my stuff in three different bags.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask

"We found a solution to your  problem." My dad says

"What problem?"

"Your powers Jake." My mom says. I jolt out of my bed

"How?"

"There is a school for other kids like you!" My mom says

"Like me?" I ask

"Kids with powers." My dad says

"What is it called? I ask them getting out off my bed. My dad tosses me a simple white tee shirts and dark blue jeans and black vans.

"Elite Academy for SuperHumans ." My mom says.

"And what does this school do for me?"
I say pulling up my jeans.

"With this school. You will be taught to use your powers for good and how to have them under control to help other . Son you're basically going to be a super hero" My dad says slapping my bare back.

"I will be a superhero?" I ask myself. Well it is better then whatever I am right now
