I sit at my new desk, in my new room, on my new planet, that my mother left me to become a useless fly in a human house that will soon be slapped with a Flyswatter.

It has been almost 5 years now. I am 14 and haven't heard anything about my mother. Supergirl. Superman. If all superheros have a nickname shouldn't I? I still haven't exactly learned to control my powers so I think we should work on one thing at a time. I open my eyes and see Alice leaning on the door frame talking on the phone. I call Ms.Thomson by her first name now that we are so close. Her eyes find mine and I smile. ¨That is weird she just looked away. I wonder what she is talking about." I think to myself. She must be talking to Louis. Louis is her human son and Alice and Louis have been fighting because of me. Louis has never liked the fact that i'm his new sister. Louis has what humans call jealousy. Alice hangs up and looks at me. "You have to go to school." I look up shocked. "I can't explain right now. I have to go?" She walks out with the phone in hand like she's about to call someone else. I close the door and put my ear to the door to leason. "Hello, yes I am a parent and my daughter is looking for a High School. She has been homeschooled her whole life and she... hasn't learned... She has dyslexia. .... Yes it is minor but she still needs a place where they are patient... What? Of Course why?... What do you mean?... Ok we will see you there.¨ I back up away from the door. She walks in and looks like she's going to cry. ¨What?¨
