Damien White is an enigma known in every household. Feared by some, and revered by others. He has the coveted spot of number one on the ranking boards and he's... me. 

"Hey, Jessica," I said with my charming smile as I sat down next to her setting my bagel and coffee down on the table. 

"Hi, Damien," Jessica waved nonchalantly as she bit into her breakfast sandwich, " how are you?"

"Doing alright, bored," I said as I spread cream cheese over my morning bagel. 

"Really? Still," Jessica said with a small smile.

"Yeah . You'd think being ranked number one , I would be challenged a lot," I said thoughtfully. 

"Well, if you want, I could defeat you in a second without throwing a punch," she said slyly.

"And how would you do that," I asked with a raised eyebrow, and a small grin pulling at my lips?

"Easy, I would bribe you with bagels," she said as she snatched my bagel and held it above  her head, skipping out of my reach. 

"Hey," I yelled as she began slowly backing away, " You have officially made it onto my 'no you didn't ' list!" 

"You know you can't catch me, " she mischievously states , as she shifted her stance. 

"We both know thats not true," I said . 

"Lets find out then," she called as she began to run. 

"Aww common. Just give me back my bagel," I playfully yelled as I ran after her, " I need my breakfast bagel!" 

" What is it about you and  bagels," she called back as she began to use her telekinetic ability to throw trash at me. 

" They are the best thing since sliced bread," I shouted at her as I dodged the trash. People looked up from their meals to watch us run through the maze of tables in the cafe, with amused grins on their faces. 

I caught up with Jessica and said, " I will give you one more chance before I get serious." 

In response she threw a tray at my face. I ducked as the tray flew over my head. 

" Hey,"  I exclaimed as she laughed, " You're going to get it." She looked at me with a bring it on expression. I winked at her as I quickly veered away from her. I jumped onto a table, executed a perfect  back flip over Jessica , grabbing the bagel from her hand as I landed beside her. 

" That Jessica, " I said as I took a bite of my bagel, " is how I do things." 

"Wow," Jessica mocked , " No wonder you're ranked number one. You can do flips." 

"Exactly," I said coyly as I headed back to the table we were sitting at before. 

"Why won't you tell me your power," Jessica whined as she followed me to the table and sat down. I rolled my eyes at her. She asked this question every day. 

"I am not going to tell you Jessica," I said as I finished my bagel and coffee.

"You know thats probably why no one is challenging you! No one knows your powers so they think you have a really powerful power and would hurt them," Jessica said extremely fast.

" My power is not that powerful," I said exasperatedly. 

"Well it was powerful enough to send Nia Excel, the old number one, to the hospital for three months," she commented. 

" That was an accident," I said with a frown. Remembering that day with sadness.

  Soft laughter played in my mind.Red eyes glaring back at me. A smile showing pointed teeth. 

"Never again will I use my power,"  I said softly , " I don't know if I can  keep control  of him and what he would do if he was free."
