Most Deadliest Sin

Chapter 1 - A New Start

I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off to wake me up for school. I reach my arm out to turn the thing off, but I can't find the button to do it, so I just grab it and rip it out of the wall for the fifth time this month.

*BeebBezzzzz*

"You better not have just ripped that alarm clock out of the wall mister!"

I sit up quickly to see if I damaged the wall, and plug to my alarm. Luckily I didn't; I plugged it back in and reset the alarm to my usual wake up time.

"I didn't, don't worry about it!" I yelled to my mother from the other side of the door, "I really need to start learning how to control my strength."

I get out of bed, quickly get dressed, and head down to the kitchen where my mother is making breakfast and reading the newspaper. I grab two plates and some silverware and set the table for the two of us.

"Morning mom", I say as I set the table.

"Morning Asher, I better not see another hole in the wall; that will be the fifth one this month."

"I didn't rip my alarm out of the wall, I missed my alarm, so my hand hit the table", I say while looking over her shoulder to see what she is cooking.

She gives me a stare that tells me that she doesn't believe me.
"Seriously mom," I say while trying not to smile. A smirk almost appeared on my face, but I stopped it with a pinch on my hand behind my back.

"Ok, but I'll be checking later after you leave", she says pushing me towards the kitchen door," Now go clean up, I don't want your grubby hands to soil the food."

"I already cleaned them before I came down."

"Hun, I know you're lying to me, you really need to stop that. Now go wash your fingers."

"It's become a habit, but I'll try," I say as I walk out of the kitchen to the bathroom to wash up.

I looked up to see my reflection; but as usual, nothing has changed from last night: same like brown hair, freckled face, lime-green eyes, and slim, but a toned body with the usual grey t-shirt, dark blue jacket, and pants for clothing.

After washing my hands I head back into the kitchen to see the food on both plates and mom eating already. I sit down and thanked mom before I chowing down and rushing out the door with an extra piece of toast in my mouth. I ran down the street, still trying to get my bag on my shoulders until I accidentally run into someone that was also running out of the alleyway. The person I ran into was a woman about my height, which was about 5'10, she was also very physically fit and she looked around 23 years old. She stood up quickly, looked down the alleyway and then looks back down at me.

"Are you ok?" She says as she sticks her arm out to help me up. I reach up to grab her hand, but she quickly grabs my forearm instead, so I do the same. I was surprised to see how much strength she had because I was up in seconds. I thanked her and asked if she was ok, but she said she was fine; she had a much greater fall than the one we just had. After she said that, I thanked her again and ran off. While I ran to school, she stood there for a second grinning at her forearm. The tattoo that was there was fading quickly and soon disappeared.

"I'm sorry I gave it to him but I just couldn't handle it anymore." She said to herself before walking away in the opposite direction.

I arrived at the classroom door right when the bell rang, with no time to spare. I sat down at the back of the room next to my friend who was getting out his notes from yesterday.
