Chapter 1: The girl I loved

           Fear, sadness, anger, all have something in common, they all can unlock abilities hidden away deep inside your brain. I don't know how I got these "abilities" or how long this power lied within me. Was I born with it? Are there others like me? All these questions and more any sane person would ask, I asked myself. The only thing I can say for sure was how I unlocked them.

           It was an accident, it happened all so sudden, I was scared, confused, and angry, so very angry. Although, I didn't mean to hurt her, the girl I loved. I thought she loved me too, turns out I was wrong, blinded by the love from which I thought was mutual. To fully understand what happened to me, why I was so angry, you have to go back, back 1 week before the incident. It was Monday, school was almost over, one more class to go, Physics. Already gone to my locker, heading off to class, "Hey Jacob!" I quickly turn my head and smile, "Sup Dante, you study for that test?" His face suddenly goes into a shocked look, not being able to hold my smile back, I let it all go into a huge laughter, "I'm just kidding man, you can calm down," his shocked face disappears as we head to class. Before we got to class though he asked me, "Why do you always wear that gray hoodie, even when it's hot?" "Because I love this hoodie, I think it makes me look cool, plus it seems to be always cold in the morning."

         "Yeah I know, Florida weather is so weird sometimes." We continue walking to class. Dante lets out a sigh when we get into class, "what's wrong Dante?"

"Nothing, I just can't wait 'till class is over and I get to go home."

          "Well I can't, I'm going to stay after school."

"Why would you want to ever do that?"

          "I'm staying after school because I want to help Amy out with her math homework."

"Oh, you're gonna help your girl out, how are you two?"

        "Jeez Dante, you make it seem like we've been together for years, its only been 2 weeks since we hooked up!"

 "I know, I know, but still, most relationships don't last 2 months if you're lucky."

       "Fine, if you must know, we are great and I have a friend that she is about to celebrate her 1 year anniversary with her boyfriend."

"Well she is part of 10% of all relationships that happen in high school, mark my words," as he puts his finger up and points it at me, "don't be surprised if she leaves you sooner than you think."

           "you're just being a pessimist, I don't think-" "JACOB & DANTE! Would you like to answer the bell work for today?" the teacher yelled from across the room. Both of us look at the board and gave a confusing look to the teacher, "Exactly, so maybe you two shouldn't have been talking and actually tried to work out the problem." "Yes, Mr. Langford," both of us groaned as we tried to get through the class.

             Finally, we were saved by the bell from being bored to death, we were the first out of the doors and we gave each other a "goodbye" and "see you tomorrow." I rushed toward my locker, eager to see her, put away my stuff, grabbed my book bag, and started to walk toward her locker. As I was walking toward her locker, I saw somebody, though I couldn't make out the face. He or she walked out before I got there and disappeared within the other kids rushing out of school. I got to her and she was turned around putting her stuff away, and I poked her in the back and she gave out a quick squeak from being surprised and she slapped me on the arm and I gave her a hug. "Hey Amy."

       "Hi Jacob"

"So how was your day?" She gave out a big groan as if she was annoyed by something.
