Different

Act 2

"Karma Michael Dains, please come to the front of the room" welp, I stood up, standing up straight and walking as normally as i could up to the front of the room, my dark hair covered my eyes as usual, so the high priest before me gave me a funny look.

The whole school was rallied in the auditorium, and we were being called up one by one to be checked for our potential, that is why the high priest of our local church had come to see us today.

The high priest shook off the look he gave me and put a hand in front of my forehead, right above my hair. He then closed his eyes, seeming to focus before opening his eyes wide. His eyes were completely white, no pupil to be found.

"This one, had average potential. Go back to your seat." PHEW, the good thing about telepathy is that sometimes you can barge your way into other people's opinions or beliefs, and switch them up to make them believe something else.. it's hard to do it while looking natural though, as it takes LOTS of concentration.

I used my telepathy to sway the mind of the high priest for myself, Amelia, Jasper, and Malachite as well. Holy crap, I'd been drained and it was only around 11:57am... WHICH MEANT LUNCH WAS AROUND THE CORNER.

We were dismissed by the high priest, and then returned to our homerooms. Me and Amelia had the same homeroom, but Jasper had the one to the right of ours, and Malachite had the one to the left of ours.

We were pretty close to eachother all day, the only separate classes we had were homeroom, science, and math classes. We all even had Physical Education together.

Anyways, we were lined up in the cafeteria moments later, and of ours everyone was pushing, Like.. can't you just wait? I know you're hungry but I just fucking exhausted myself by changing the mind of a High Priest. So quit it.

It's not like I just use my telekinesis to send a Shockwave that knocks everyone outta my way like domino's because I'm that damn hungry. God. People need some respect.

Once I got to the trays I picked up a black tray, which was the best of luck.. for some reason everyone in highschool loves picking which color their tray is depending on what they like the most, I am no acception. I'll gut punch you for a black tray, so will my buddies.

They were serving some bosco sticks, WHICH I LOVE. The sauce is great combined with them *^*.. I wanna die buried in them.

The lunch lady lazily served each student food, giving me bosco sticks before letting me choose some vegetables and fruits. After that I began to walk to the table in the back section of the cafeteria, that's where me, Amelia, Jasper, and Malachite sit.

Once I got there Amelia greeted me with a hug, even though Jasper knows I'd never try anything with Amelia he still was jealous of her hugging another guy. So I giggled, teasing him more by picking her up- he stood up so quickly that I just died laughing.

Once I put her down I got to eating, talkin with my friends, and wondering how the rest of the day would go... and I kinda knew it was gonna be a bad day, I had so many problems going through my head.

The thing is, only one or two of them were mine, the rest were the whole schools' problems and thoughts rushing through my head. That's the downside to being Telepathic, it's a constant flow of other peoples' problems, worries, and random ass thoughts all coming to you constantly.

I wish there was an off button. That would be so much friggin easier to deal with.

Anyways, halfway through lunch I had my ear buds in, blasting Hollywood undead "No.5" at the max volume to try and flood out the thoughts. It mostly helped, until a group of thoughts just popped into my head- they were negative thoughts..

About us. A group of people was thinking very cruely about me and my friends, so I turn around to see the jocks standing right there. Fuck my life. The leader of the jocks (COUGH COUGH WESTON COUGH COUGH) tugged out my ear buds and held them up, out of my reach (Weston is like, six feet and one inch tall).

"Excuse me?" Malachite stood up, her hands against the table, she was staring daggers into the jocks. "Do you have a reason for being over here?" Malachite was strong, she said those words with no hesitation.

Jasper had a glare going, Amelia frowning at the jocks. I just stared, but they couldn't tell if I was angry or not, because of my bangs. Then again, they've never seen me get angry, ever. I can't have emotions lash out, or my abilities will react on instinct.. so I've ended up getting used to being picked on.

I just let it happen. Weston replied to Malachite with "What's it have to do with you, Shemale?"- Shemale was the name they teased Malachite with, since even though she doesn't look muscular she is good at sports and has such a strong will.

Malachites eyebrow twitched, she hated being called that for sure. Then again she had control of her abilities, a lot better than me, so her being angry is easy for her. She then snatched the ear buds back from Weston and handed them to me.

"Oh, thanks Mal" I was happy that my friends protected me, even though they knew I had amazing abilities- they didn't care if I was a Mutant or not, they trusted me, loved me for who I was. They'd protect me forever, and I'd do the same for them.

Malachite gave me a bright smile before sitting back down, Weston spouting something like "Turn down your shit music, it's annoying to constantly hear that bullshit." (WHICH WAS UNCALLED FOR, I FRIGGIN LOVE HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD BIOTCH) before walking away.

Malachite and Amelia both stood up that time, but I grabbed Malachite by the hand and told her "it isn't worth it.", at the same time Jasper calmed down Amelia with a hug from behind.

My friends were only angry about that last comment because they knew I'm pretty insecure about the things I enjoy, so hearing that about my music taste (even if I pretended to not care) really just.. hurt(?)
