Beware the Giver and His Gifts

III ~ Alexandra

                   

"This seems fishy," Alexandra told herself. "The school basement is where I got my powers. Well, I might as well use my abilities to see if this is safe or not" she told herself once again. "What will happen to me if I go to the basement, for my placement test?" she asked herself. Alexandra got her answer. She will be okay.

She went down to the basement. After she had opened the door, she saw Ms Melakian sitting on her desk. "Good, you're here. I decided to let you take the test here because it can get deafening in my room. I am very sorry about that." She said sounding apprehensive. "It's fine" Alexandra replied to her teacher. "Your benchmark is on your desk. You have until the end of lunch. If you need extra time, then you can come in during after-school, or/and early in the morning." Ms Melikian said in the very monotonous tone. "Are you ready Ms Odette?" she asked Alexandra. "Yes!" Alexandra had always liked Language Arts so this benchmark would be fun for her.

After a while, Alexandra realised that she didn't know some of the answers and then figured to use her newly acquired gift. After using her enhanced abilities, she could sweep the benchmark. Alexandra still had about 20 more minutes left, so she decided to waste that time to think about her new life as a superhuman. "Why did Christian even cry after I punched him?" she asked herself. Christian cried because Alexandra was his crush. After Alexandra had punched him, he felt like she didn't like him, and he went to the bathroom to release his emotions, not wanting his crush to see. "Never mind, I did not want to know that." She told herself still very astonished that a guy like Christian had a crush on her. She then wondered of what her teacher Ms Melikian was thinking right now. Ms Melikian was reminding herself of that time when her boyfriend dumped her. She really loved him, but he, unfortunately, couldn't return those feelings, and he only dated her, because Ms Melikian was very smart. "That explains allot, I still feel sorry for her, though" Alexandra still talking to herself. "Next question" she continued to ask herself. "Is God rea-" the bell ringed. "It's time to go Ms Odette." Ms Melikian told Alexandra. "Why do you call me Ms Odette, you can just call me Alexandra," Alexandra said "If you'd prefer it that way, then I will. Goodbye Alexandra" Ms Melikian replied to her.

Alexandra had finished school, and now she was able to go back home, and she could start thinking about life. She was about to go lay on her bed, but then she had remembered that she had homework. "Duh, you may have superpowers, but that doesn't mean you can skip homework." She sighed. She began to work on her homework. She got to her desk and started with her math homework. Alexandra used her abilities to get the answers, but she had forgotten to show her work. She then got to her other homework and finished it as fast as she could. All she wanted was to learn more, and more. Homework was distracting her from that. "Finally done" she once again said out loud. "Now..." "Where was I..?" She laid on her bed and started to ask herself questions again. This went on for hours until she had to go to the bathroom.

After she had finished, she went back to lay on her bed. Once again, she asked herself, even more, questions. Alexandra was very desperate to know everything. "Will Donald Trump become President?" she asked herself. She was expecting the answer to be no, but unfortunately, she was very, very wrong. "Well, that's just sad." She told herself.

"What else can I discover?" "Why did Christian have a crush on me?" She asked herself once again. He had a crush on her because he thought she was cute, kind, and very determined. "Well.... Now that I think about it...." "No.." crushes are dangerous, they are a distraction. "Well now that I—" She began to see him without--- "No! no! no! no! no! I did NOT want to see that." "This isn't good, now I think I understand what that guy meant when he said that this will hurt." "Why even was Christian in my dream?" Christian was in her dream because he was her one and only.... "Yeah now I remember..." she started to sob, she had begun to keep in mind that because of her determination to put studies before friends made her cut her ties with her social life. Christian stayed with her, and now Alexandra knew why and Alexandra felt like she ruined that for herself. Now she wold be forever alone. Well, now that she knows that Christian has a crush on her she might as well try to return those feelings.

AfterAlexandra had learned everything about Christian, she started to appreciate himas a person, and she began to develop feelings for him. "If I were to get in arelationship with Christian, how would it be like?" she asked herself. After Alexandra had requested that she got hit with a burst of information, it was anunbearable pain, it hurt so much it felt like someone was squeezing her head like a stress ball,while it only lasted a couple of seconds, it was still painful. Now she knewwhat her life with Christian would be, but she still didn't know how to feellike it. Who knows maybe this is a dream, and Alexandra might wake up in themorning, and she will feel dumb for believing this. Alexandra turned to heralarm clock and saw that it was time to sleep, and so she did.
