Everyone loves the first day of school right? New year, new classes, new friends. It's a day full of potential and hope, before dreary depressions of reality show up.
I like the first day of school for a different reason. You see, I have this power. When I look at people I can see an aura on them. A colored outline based on how long they have to live. Green means they have a long life ahead of them. Yellow means they have a little longer but might die in either a car crash or something tragic. The most fun one is the red. Every now and then I see one. Those are the ones that get murdered or kill themselves.
With that in mind, I try to get to class early to see my classmates auras. The first one to walk in was a walking stoplight. I chuckled to myself. Too bad. But as I started to see people coming in, they were all red. I looked in the window and saw that I had the same glow.
Then I saw our teacher. He locked the door behind him.
He was a sickening shade of green.
