Doufusion

1

            Some people say we'll save them. Other's say we'll be their demise. What are we? We're doufusions. We all get tested at 16 to see whether or not we're doufusions or if we already know, we get tested so the Isle knows. Most people are not but some people like me are. My name's Belign and I'm going to get tested today.
I wake at dawn mostly out of excitement, although I have to get on a train and go to the Head Isle Building too. I run down the stairs in my pajamas and when I enter the kitchen my mom has a cup of coffee in hand.
"How do you drink that stuff" I ask and grab an apple. I tried coffee before and let's just say I threw up all night.
"I have to if I want to wake up fully before you race downstairs" she replies. "Now get in my bathroom I have to dress you and do your hair."
"Mom, I'm not a little girl anymore." I complain
"I know but I don't want you to wear pants and put your hair in a ponytail." she replies
"Good point" I say
I follow my mom into her bathroom which has marble floors and countertops and a ton of windows. I sit down on a stool and my mom starts doing my hair it takes about 20 minutes but when I look up at the mirror I see my pitch black curls dropping to my shoulders. My mom brings out a red ball gown and I change into it.
"Here honey, you could wear these shoes too" my mom says as she pulls out a pair of red high heels.
"Yeah" I reply "No, I'm wearing sneakers. I alread have to wear a dress I'm wearing sneakers."
"Okay fine at least wear red or white ones" she says.
So I put on white high tops at bright red lip gloss to bring out my pale skin and rush out the door.
"Bye mom" I yell "Love ya"
"Love you too honey," she calls back.
As soon as I get outside the train pulls up on my street, I walk on and get on a red cushioned seat. I look out the window as the train drives to the Isle I look out the window and the sky is purple and pink but I'm specifically looking for Chris. Chris is my boyfriend he has brownish colored hair with a streak of white and amber eyes. His amber eyes mark him as a doufusion easily unlike me because I have cyan eyes like almost everyone else. Also the streak might be a dead give-a-away.
He might not be hot to everyone but he is to me. Not my dream boy though, my dream boy has black hair and chocolate brown,sea green or electric blue eyes. I get out of the train and run straight to Chris.
"Chris" I say and he turns around and hugs me.
"Hey" he says "What's up" and he kisses me on the cheek.
"Nothing" I say "you?"
"Just trying to keep power's under control"
"Oh" I mastered my powers about 3 years ago. Most people master their powers by 13 but let's just say Chris has been a little behind.
"Anyway see ya" Chris says.
"Wait" I say "Wanna race." Chris's power is practically super speed where as mine is teleportation. We race to help Chris control his powers.
"Heck yes" he replies.
I imagine the main room where we'll be tested. Windowed walls, stone ceiling, blue silk curtains, grand staircase and marble floors. My mind goes blank and next thing I know I'm in that room except it's crowded with tons of people. I check my locket that has a clock inside. It's 6:55 am. Me and Chris always wear watches for when we race. I imagine Chris and next thing I know I'm so close to him our lips are almost touching.
"Hi" I say awkwardly. But he just pulls me in and kisses me. That was the second time we've kissed in 4 months of dating. The first was when we started dating, my friend dared me to go up to a Doufusion boy and make out with him for 10 seconds and that doufusion boy was Chris. Back to reality his lips taste slightly like sweat which is kinda gross but I don't care. I put my arms around his neck and kiss back.
"OMG, it's perfect" I hear a voice say.
"Go away Dawn" I say and end mine and Chris's kiss. I raise my eyebrows and Dawn clearly annoyed. She has blond hair and brown eyes and is my best friend. She just runs over to me and hugs me. I hug her back.
I swear Dawn is the most boy-obsessed girl ever.
"Are you excited" she asks me.
"About what" I ask.
"The testing. Duh"
"No" I now notice Chris is gone. They must of called his name. Right then I hear my name being called over the speaker.
"Bye" I yell over my shoulder and run to the room that they called me in which is room 123.
I run in the room happy to finally be away from Dawn. Okay that was mean but she is annoying. I get into the room and sit down into a white chair and immediately get strapped into the chair. The lights turn off then a girl in a white hospital gown walks in and by girl I literally mean girl she was about 12 years old she speeds over to the chair and punches me in the face. I try to pull up on the restraints but I can't. I feel blood dripping down my face. She just stares at me with no remorse in fact she's smirking.
"I guess you'll just never be as good as 12 year old" she scoffs "In fact when Chris dies you won't be able to save him will you."
"What do you mean when" I ask you can tell I'm scared through my voice.
As if to answer my question she pulls a gun out of nowhere. She laughs in my face, her laugh is like crows squawking and tortured animals. She's about to pull the trigger at my face when she turns around and shoots. Chris is standing at the end of the room the bullet heading straight for him. I don't know how it happens but I keep thinking "Chris don't die, don't die" and Then I'm right in front of him. The bullets hits me it feels like fuzz strangely. I drop to the floor I know I'm dying but I don't see blood.
The lights turn on and I hear a voice definitely female. Great I'm going to die here. Yay. Then I hear it again but this time I can make out the words.
"Congratulations you have succeeded. You'll meet here at 12 o'clock am Saturday tell your parents immediately."
I hear the door open and I get off the floor. I walk towards the door and can see the night sky. I rush out happy to leave. When I step out the door and I'm on the stairs. I want want to meet up with Chris so I imagine him.
My vision goes black and when I can see again I see Chris but I also see Dawn. Oh my gosh he's kissing Dawn. My stomach starts hurting as if someone punched it. My eyes fill with tears, then Chris notices me. I run away to my home which is three miles away but I don't care. I let the tears flow freely, how could my best friend do that to my relationship which she said was "perfect." I'm mad at Chris for doing that to me, and I'm mad at Dawn for doing that to me. I thought he loved me, I thought Dawn was my friend.
