The First Time I Saw You

Chapter 8

"Good night,children", goodnight miss peregrine", we all said and head to our room.

" goodnight Ashlyn,hope you enjoy your first day here",Horace said.

"Yes,I did,this place is very exciting", I said happily.

" goodnight",he added.

"Goodnight,too", I said and we headed to a different direction.

I reach the room and lay on my bed.

" you ate very lucky,ash.Horace is very sweet and caring to you,he's totally in love to you",Olive said.

"I'm lucky,not because Horace admire me,but because he's my friend and you are all my friends...there's nothing more special about that,Horace and  I, are just friends,and nothing more", I said.

" but you admire someone,don't you?",Emma said.

"Yes,I do", I answer.

And all of the girls go to my direction to listen.

" who is he?is he Horace?",Fiona ask.

I laugh.

"No,not Horace,were just friends remember?", I said.

" yeah,so who's the lucky guy?",Emma said excitedly with a wide smile.

"Uhm...I don't think I'm ready to confess,I'm not sure about my feelings,I mean,I just met him this morning,and I see him as a handsome guy", I explain.

" hope you all understand",I said sadly.

"Yes,we all understand,but if you're ready,you could tell to us,we are a great secret keeper", Emma said.

" of course,I will",I said.

Emma smile"goodnight",she said.

"Goodnight", we all said,and we all lay to bed.

Few minutes pass but I just can't sleep,I tried but I can't,I seat,and look to others.They sleep very well,having a very sweet dreams.

I stand and open the door of our room and go outside.

Maybe I'm not really tired at all.

Head on the living room and make a tiny fire on the firelight.

I seat on the carpet and think about something.

This is the first night I sleep away to my parents.Did they still think of me?wondering where I am now?.

I'm sure,if I'm not freak,they will very happy to know that I have lots of friends now,but maybe...not.

Wish I say goodbye before I left,before I change my life.Wish theyre still proud of me.

I love you mom,and dad,hope you still love me.

I never realize that I was crying.It is such a sad things,its hard to accept it was happening to me.

" Ashlyn,what are you doing down here?",I quickly look to my back and saw miss peregrine.

"Why you're not on your bed,and who made the fire?", she added as she sit beside me.

" its me,miss peregrine",I answered.

"Your pyrokinetic just like Olive,wait are you crying?", she said.

" uhm...no miss peregrine,maybe because of the smoke",I lie.

"I can see in your eyes that your lying,its OK ash,you could tell me everything.Life is hard,and it is getting harder because we are peculiar.Some people can't accept us,cause they think we are different,and it is the hardest for you cause even your parents didn't accept you,they should be the one you expect at the first place to accept and understand you,but they don't,I'm sorry about that,Emma already tell to me about your life,and I understand you,But don't worry,we are here,we are here for you,just be strong and believ e on yourself", she said.

I hug miss peregrine very tight.

"Thanks,miss peregrine for everything...you are the best headmistress in the world,no one can change you", I said.

" your welcome,but no matter what,don't forget your parents,cause no matter what happen,theyre still your parents",she added.

"Yes,miss peregrine", I said.

" now,go to bed....you should have a good rest and sleep",she said and we all stand up.

But as we stand,I accidentally bump to a tiny vase standing on the table and it is falling.

I quickly stop it from falling and make it float by my mind and put it back on the table using my mind.

"You are also a telekinetic girl,I'm very happy cause we have a biculiar here in the home,take care of those abilities", miss peregrine said and headed away.

I left alone on the living room.

I'm a biculiar child...wish I'm not a triculiar child someday.
