It was like any sunny day in Los Angeles. Cars driving smoothly, guys who think wearing short shorts was hot would relax by a wall while looking at people pass by (that's creepy right?), casual hippies would greet you and give you a "save something" pamphlet. My walk to school was more tiring on a Monday, my school was really far from my house, I know, why not use the school bus, there's a slight problem with that, the people at my school don't want me around them, no one offers me a sit, not even the nerds, I'm kinda the schools loner, no one pays attention to me and I kinda like it that way, I only have one friend, Bella, she's a nice girl. Ohh, I forgot, My name is Syre Harp, I'm a girl who is hardly noticed by anyone, my school doesn't really like me, they tease me and act as my bullies but they never seem to try and hurt me physically, its like they're afraid. And I have a little secret that not even my best friend Bella knows, I'm different from the people in this world, I have powers that are unexplainable but I try my best to make it explainable, that's probably why people stay clear of me, its like they can feel that I'm different.

I finally arrived to my destination, I walked up to the school gates, bracing myself for the new day, I hope Krissy didn't pimp my locker like last time. I enter my hellhole and surprisingly there's not a lot of people here, guess the bus is late or something. I walk up to my locker, enter the code and take out the books I need for first period, since I'm early, I'm going to grab something to eat because I don't eat in the morning. I walk to the cafeteria and ask the lunch lady for a simple sandwich, I sit at the tables and start munching like there's no tomorrow. I don't really sit in the cafeteria, usually I grab what I need and eat outside or by the staircase, Bella does have other friends and she sits with them most of the time, she invites me alot, sometimes I say yes sometimes I say no, mostly because her friends are part of the people who stay away from me. Bella tried talking to them and convincing them that I'm a normal human being but they'd just tell her that she's just the new kid and she doesn't know me like they do, honestly this school thinks they know me so well but they really don't.

I finish my sandwich, eat a breath mint and head to class. The hallways are now filled with people. I shuffle my way to class, thankfully no one tried to trip or stick something on my back, for people who like ignoring me, they sure do like humiliating me. I see Krissy sitting at my desk, I start to panic but I don't really show it. I slowly walk to my desk, I hope she doesn't do anything stupid. I look at her, trying to predict her plan to humiliate me. I think its time I say something, "umm, hey Krissy, I think you're sitting in the wrong sit" my voice slightly shaky, God help me please.

"Actually I'm here to talk to you" she says, I'm sure my eyes are as big as saucers, did she really say she wants to talk to me?

"Umm, are you serious?"

"Yes, look, I know that I've been mean to you but that's only because my friends said you were hella weird"

"What changed your mind?"

"Your mom met my mom, they talked and they told me you're not weird and you have never been weird, people just didn't like you, Bella was with your mom too, she said you were a sweet girl so I thought I'd talk to you" I eye her suspiciously, I'm not stupid. Not falling for that crap.

"Too easy, maybe some other time, I don't like walking into traps"

"Umm yeah, I understand" with that she picked up her things and left. I'm not falling for that little "I've changed my mind about you" trick. But what if its not a trick, maybe she really wants to be my friend, wait, she didn't say she wants to be friends. Meh, whatever.

I take my sit and wait for Mrs Beckham, our biology teacher who takes her job a little too seriously, this one time she showed us her boobs and taught us how to identity cancer, the guys were eating this up, I just chose to look away in disgust like I didn't have boobs.
