My name is Evie and I have a gift that no one else has. I can plant a seed and make it grow strong in seconds, or make lively green stems curl from my palms. But I have always wondered how it would feel to be normal.
My sketchbook has always been my closest companion. I always carried it with me, I loved finding new things to add to the long list of plants I already knew. Everyday, after my classes were finished, I would run to the forest, sketchbook in hand, to find new plants to grow.
I never knew where I got my powers from. I had a normal family and none of my ancestors seemed to have the same ability as me. It was all a mystery.
It started when I was 12. One day I was sitting in class spacing out as usual when I had a sudden thought. I'm hungry for raspberries! The next thing I knew my desk was covered earning me horrified looks from everyone.
It only got worse from there.
Soon I was almost always growing something and I didn't know how to stop.
That was when I was found and brought to my new school. Agnes's School for the Gifted.
Luckily now, only 2 months later, I have learned how to control my powers, well most of the time. Now I spend my days learning all I can about everything related to my powers. The teachers think that with enough control, we can have a job in the normal world and not be questioned.
I'm not super confident about that for myself though.
