Hidden Potential

Chapter 2

Earthquake...?

What's that noise...?

"Clara... Wake up..."

Amber...? What is Amber doing here? Is she alright?

I search around me, screaming her name at the top of my lungs, but all i could see around me is red. Red grass, red skies. Red everything!

"Clara? Clara... CLARA!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh fuck! I shot out of bed, staring widely at Amber, my roommate and crush. "Chickens! What? What?" I exclaim, trying to calm down from the sudden burst of excitement.

"Its time for school. Any later then this and you'll be late."

I look towards my black digital clock hanging on the wall opposite of my bed. 8.24 AM. Oh, crap shit popsicles! I start class at 9, and it takes 15 minutes to walk and-

"Clara! Calm down. Stop panicking. All will be fine, just go change, wash up and go to the kitchen. I have your breakfast prepared already."

I walk to our bathroom and have a quick shower to cool down. I change into a black shirt that says the words, 'New York' on it with long black jeans and my low cut black converse.

On my right hand consists of many black rubber bands. I always hate the feeling of bare wrists. I have no idea why in the world I am okay with my left hand being bare. Although, I have two rings. One on the middle, another on the index. Around my neck is a purple moonstone necklace.

Since now I am going out, I put on my black and gold watch with a black charm bracelet that my friend gave me last year, as a birthday present. Lastly, on my two ankles is an anklet each.

I always check to see if my student pass, wallet, phone, headphones and portable charger is with me. I will never go anywhere without them.

I grab my breakfast, wave Amber goodbye and walk out of the room. Flashes of the nightmare from yesterday keeps on running through my mind. Is there something wrong with me? Am I... Different? Or stupid?

I sigh and walk into class. As class goes, it is simple enough. As my uneasiness goes, nope. I have this feeling to create, to do something. Ever had this feeling of restlessness? Where nothing can keep you still and you just have to go do a thing. Something specific. Just that I have no clue what this 'specific' is.

I walk out of maths class and to my locker. What surprise me most is the plain black satin box sitting on top of all my books. I open it up and found a bracelet. There is no note, nothing. As i continue to study the bracelet, a wave of familiarity hit me. Hard.

"Clara, you will change the world. You will help them when they fall, and you will protect those you do not know. The world will be in your hands and you must make the right choice.

I give you this. To help you in life's journey when I'm not around. Use it to give you strength. Use it to give life."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sway slightly on my feet, blinking my eyes open which have became dry in the last few moments. I do not know many things but I know deep down with conviction that I have to pass this to Amber.

With that thought in mind, I quickly shut my locker door close with a satisfying slam and run back to the room we share.
