Elemental (Cancelled)

Chapter 1: How it Started

Kids in my old school used to scream and freak out whenever they heard the fire alarm. For some reason, I was never bothered by it. This led all the children to believe I was setting off the alarm and that I was a pyromaniac or something. So I frequently got into trouble when a prankster set off the alarm and then blamed it on me.

Whenever this happened, I would grow furious. The weirdest thing was, when I did become angry at the teacher who was yelling at me, the whole room would become hotter. It would slowly grow hotter and hotter until it was close to unbearable and the teacher would decide they would rather be outside than yelling at some kid.

I never understood it though. If I had to describe it, I would say that it felt like a fire pushed it's way through my body and made my insides hotter and hotter until it reached the outside and vanished.

I crawled up through the school years, bullied and misunderstood. As I grew, the heat that would radiate from me would grow hotter. Finally, I reached 14 years old and I knew I was too old to be bullied. The heat cooled off for a while as I was rarely angry. I thought it was going away.

I was wrong.
