Emily Ellison

Another identity , another new school. I lost track of how many there have been over the years.
Fifteen? Twenty?
What I know is, they will be hunting us down. However, it is also impossible for them to come unnoticed.

I'm sick of moving around, always a new city, a new school and new friends. Friends...

The car screeched to a halt and Lisa tossed a small pistol to me. "Be careful kid."
"I know, I know. And do i really need this?"
"It's for emergency, kiddo. Don't stand out too much and don't hurt anybody."
" Wouldn't Dare to."
"You got your phone?"
"Yep." I patted my bag.
"You know your powers are going to develope soon. If you see your fingers disappearing or you happen to float or fly, anything, just anything at all, call me."
"I will."

Lisa is my gurdian, assigned to me just when i was born. Her role was to protect and guide me, but now, she is practically like my mother.
I walked towards the building while looking around.
There were many cliques hanging outside, from the jocks to the nerds to the cheerleaders.

"Hey, new here?" I hear a voice behind me and a gentle tap at my shoulder.
I spun around to see a girl around my age with a neatly tied ponytail and bright brown eyes looking at me.
"Yeah.."
"Cool, my name is kelly." She say as she held her right hand out.

I winced and looked at her awkwardly.
She saw my discomfort, "Uhm.. hand? Don't leave me hanging here..."
Silence continued and i just continued staring at her.
"Just shake my hand.. Its a form of welcoming gesture."
I did. "Emily..." i mumbled.
"Sorry, what was that?"
"My name." I replied.
"I know.. but i couldn't hear you."
"It's Emily."
"Soo... Emily. did you head to the Principal office yet? Thats where you can register for your classes. I would love to bring you there and help you with that but i need to go in a minute.. early softball practice. See you soon!"

I still have plenty of time to look around this whole building myself.
There was even a indoor swimming pool, though, wasn't that much of a surprise.
The cafeteria was huge and even at the entrance I could already smell today's lunch. The place was very sanitized and clean, which was very suprising.
I wanted to continue venturing further into the school when the bell rang.

The Principal's name is Mr Johnson.
He grinned at me from across the table. "So you're a Sophomore from Edmonton?" He asks and I nodded.
Truth is, I have never been to Edmonton. A simple white lie to prevent from being traced.
"What brings you here?"
"My mom's job."
Mr Jackson nodded and pulled two pieces of paper from a folder.
One was the student schedule with a few open slots, the other was the electives available. I filled in the form and handed back to him. Afterwards, he gave a me a long talk, going over every page in the student manual.

A bell rang and another until finally he reaches the last page of the manual. "And that concludes that. Any questions?" I shoke my head immdiately.
"Great. There is a half hour left of third period, and you've chosen Modern Literature with Ms Sarah. She's a great teacher, one of our best. She won a award once, sighed by the governor himself. You will definitely love her classes."
"Cool."

He heaves himself off the chair and i followed him down the hallways. Lockers lined the wall and banner hung around, supporting the sports teams and posters about the upcoming school prom.

Mr Jackson pushed open a door. "Here we are."
He sticked his head into the class. "Ms Sarah, your new student is here." He say as I walked into the classroom nervously. A woman with blonde hair tied up into a bun stood at the front of the classroom.
"Hello, would you like to introduce yourself?" She asked nicely.
I agreed to, seeing it would be a future burden if i don't.

"Emily Ellison, hope to get along well."

Ms Sarah directed me to an empty seat and i slump onto the chair. A girl kicked my chair and i turned around.
"Hey, new kid."
"Yeah? Who may you be?" I questioned.
She scoffed at my question and flung her hair.
"Ugh, how could you not know my name? Unbelievable!"
"Oh wow, if you could actually tell me i would have known."
"Fine i'll forgive you this once. Don't you dare forget it. It's Elizabeth. E, l, i , z, a, b, e, t, h."
"Thanks for even spelling it out for me?" Pretty soon i lost interest in her and her screechy voice.
I turned my head and tried to focus in class, which much fail as she continued trying to grab my attention.
"You know, if you serve me well enough, i might let you join my squad." She squeaked happily.
I rolled my eyes at the sound of that and spat "no thanks."
Apparently thats all it took to piss her off as she slammed her table and yelled "Excuseee mee? What did you say?"
I groaned. Just ignore her, just stay calm.
"Hellooo? Can you not hear me now?" She  screeched.
Greattt life is just great.

Lisa picked me up after school.
"How was school, kid?"
"Great. Just great.. beside the fact i met a fucking bitc-"
I muttered the last few words and remained silent throughout the ride.
