I woke up at five, Star woke me-her and the guys yelling. I put on my white T-shirt with leather jacket, and skinny jeans with my black boots. I brushed my hair out and ran downstairs. "Do you guys ever not fight?"
They look at me. "Well we wouldn't be fighting if it weren't for you. If you would have kept your mouth shut, this jackass over here wouldn't be teasing me."
"You started it."
"By the way, when did you put blue in your hair?"
"Well I've had it in forever. Actually it kinda just grew into my hair the more I used my power."
"But that's not possible. Only the pe-"
"Sh don't tell her. Let Cameron."
"Let Cameron what?"
"Nothing. Guy stuff."
"Sure."
"Yep well I gotta go bye." They guys say before disappearing.
Weird says Star.
Your the one that's a dragon.
Your point is?
And your calling them weird?
Yes. Again your point is?
Never mind. Are you outside?
Yes.
Ok, I'll come out then. I walk outside and see her surrounded by people.
"Guys get away from her. Your going to scare her."
"It doesn't matter, she's fake."
"Call her fake again, and you'll be ashes."
"Chill, we're only stating the truth." And that's the last thing he says cause I tackle him to the ground.
"Don't ever call her fake again" And then I leave. I walk into the forest and leave.
✴
I climb into a tree.
"Raela. Come on your going to get hurt."
"Go away."
"Not until you come down."
"Guess what tree I'm in."
"That one." He points to the one across from me.
"Close enough." I jump down. "I'm not going back."
"Yeah well you have no choice." He says and grabs my arm.
"I have my own rights. And I'm not going to get hurt."
"Just come on." He says and grabs my arm.
"I'm not going with you!" I say and and he falls back. "Oh god. I'm so sorry." I say then run away.
✴
"You said it wouldn't get this bad."
"You need to stop getting mad at people."
"How? I'm only twelve. I'd be mad if you told me I was invincible."
"Learn to control your anger!"
"You're the one yelling!"
He clenched his fist and the fire behind him grew. "Enough! You need to get back to camp. We'll talk tomorrow."
"I can't go back. I'll get kicked out for sure."
"You'll be fine. Just go. They already sent out a search team."
"But-"
"Go!" He says and the fire burns my cheek. His eyes soften when he realizes what he did. "Raela I'm so sorry."
I look at him and then run out.
