I wake up to the smell of my mothers cooking, the smell of bacon always triggers me to wake up.  I stumble out of my bed, and slip on my slippers.  "Jenn breakfast is ready!!!"  I groan a little and shuffle my way downstairs.  When i sit down on our straw like chairs, my mom turns her head and makes direct contact with my eyes.  "honey... Now that you are you are 16 and old enough to understand.....you get your gob" ( a gob is short for good, or, bad..............a gob is basically a power you have to live with for the rest of your life and it can either be good or bad)  "i know" i stuuterd "and honey that means.....well.......it means you r old enough to go on your own" she whisperd "But-but what if i have a bad one!" i yell "well than you have to find a way to deal with it!!" "MOM PEOPLE COULD TRACK ME DOWN AND SEND ME TO TRAINING TO LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT!! i don't want to go there" My mom stares at me and shuffles towards the counter.  "I know......but jenn.......ur 16" "yah im 16 but im 16 and immature!!" "you r gonna have to act like a grown up!" she mummbles back.  I geet up and walk out the door without saying a word.  i lie down on my bed and think.......'what if i have a bad gob......what if i need to go to training....i dont know who i would meet there!  I wouldnt have my mom either....for 4 years.......think positive jenn, think positive......i mean i could get water power and then save someones life with that power!'  My alarm inturrupted my thinking.  "ugh now i have to get ready for school."  I stumbled out of my bed and got ready, in suprisingly less than 30 minutes.  "jenn the bus is coming!!!!" I ran downstairs and snatched my backpack and ran to the front of my driveway.

"so Jenn you scared for the tests?"  my friend emma squicked "um yah i guess" i said nervously.  I slid down in my chair and bit my lip.  The teacher walked in and went over the rules for the test.  "alright class lets go to the testing rooms"  we lined up and walked nervously......We had the same rythm in our foot steps except for one person who was throwing the whole rythm off.  Of course it was jake and his little friends.  "hey JENN" He knows i hate my name so he is purposely doing this.  "hmm......i think ur gonna get fire!" Yelled jake "back off prick" i mummble "uhhum u guys stop fighting."  We arrived at the tests rooms.  Nothing like i expected.  variaties Of white rooms filled up the hallway........Narrow hallway.......  "alright everyone go in a room.....1 person for 1 room"  I stummble to the 10th room.  I walked in and found a young lady.  she had brown hair with blonde high lights, and was wearing wore out jeans and a tangtop,  she also had a lot of tatoos.  "come in and sit down' she said.  I walked over and sat on the metal chair, very similar to a dentist chair except metal.  "alright who r u?" she questioned "jenn coutour" i mummbled "alright sit back and relax i am just going to give you this shot that will determine what gob you r"  she pulled out a long thick needle.  I started to shake and sweat.  "just hold still it does not hurt" She walked up and shoved it in my arm with no consern.  I gasp a little and close my eyes feeling a pinch feeling slid up and down my arm.  "alright...... i am gonna report this to the doctors so they can figure out what gob you r, ill be right back"  I looked around the room and saaw one particular thing....
