If you didn't guess, this part of the story is set in 2014. So up above will be hits from then.

First class was Maths.

Amazing!

Note the sarcasm

I walked in and walked to my desk, which was right at the back since I was really tall. But the best thing about it is that my whole squad was either in front of me or along the back wall.

I sat next to my friend Jamie who was arguably manlier than half the guys in the school. She was blond with really short hair and a sleek athletes physique. And behind us was Erica, the third musketeer and the smartest person in the whole school, I swear sometimes she knew more than the teachers. In front of us was my a few of my other friends.

Ranging from the loud mouth to the class clown.

This was my school family, my squad, my gang.

I was the glue and they'd tell me I was the Mama of the group.

And Mama was gonna fail this subject if she didn't pay attention.

I listened to the teacher drone on and on, before I knew it, my thoughts took over and I was in my imagination. I was imagining wolves. They were so fascinating. I wonder what it would be be in a pack. I mean, to be an animal, living off your instincts and surviving the wild.

I wonder if 4 legs would be bett-....

"Kiara King, what is the answer?"

Oh crap! I usually do my best in Maths but i never get it right. I mean it's not like I'm going to use the quadratic formula in real life but here goes nothing...

"Ummm .... 4?"

The teacher eyed me again before speaking.

"Correct, now class..." he continued

Well, shit! I must be lucky today

I looked to Jamie who was trying hard not to laugh.

"That was freaking awesome!" she knew that I wasn't paying attention, they all did. Erica just shook her head.

I cruised through the rest of the classes till recess.

FREEDOM!!

At least for 15 minutes.

I ran to the canteen to get my daily dose of sweet goodness in the form of a popsicle in our ridiculously humid school. I got three and walked over to Erica and Jamie. Our dads all worked together so we pretty much grew up together. We sat eating our popsicles, or ice block as we called it, laughing about everything that happened earlier.

"How you got that answer while daydreaming is beyond me, I spent nearly 30 minutes doing the calculations to get the answer!" Erica was playfully complaining.

"Some of us are just blessed with good brains" I flipped my hair and eyed them for a minute before we burst out laughing. "How did you know I was daydreaming?"

She looked at me and playfully rolled her eyes. "You always tilt your head slightly to the right and your fingers start tapping on the table."

"Erica, I know you love me but you gotta stop stalking me!" We laughed together as continued our playful banter.

We threw our wrappers away once the siren for the next period went off and made our way back to the classroom.

All of a sudden something hit my ankle and before I could blink I was on the ground.

It took me a few minutes to piece it together.

I fell.

Someone tripped me.

I could hear the snickers, but I was still shocked.

"You alright Kia?"

"Oh my gawd Kia"

I could hear my friends as they try to get me up. I look over and its none other than Freddy and Co.

I felt my face heat up as I see his smug and evil face. He was shorter than I am and Mum always told me not to hurt children. We might be the same age, but his maturity level made him a foetus to me. And I don't hit babies.

"Watch where you're going next time, Clumsy. Nearly damaged my new kicks." he said as he looked back to his girl of the week and walk towards his cronies who laughed along and gave him high fives.

UGGGHHHH! Assholes! I hope your shoes get ruined.

As I dusted myself off, I could hear evil laughs.

I felt my head get warm from embarrassment and anger. And all of a sudden I felt strange. I felt like my blood was running rampant and demanded that I draw something out.

Something there but out of sight. My hands were shaking but I'm not sure whether it was out of anger or fear.

Probably both.

Then I felt a burst of energy cool and fluid run from my spine and through to my fingers. I clenched my fist as a way to hide the shaking and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a tap burst. It's flow seemed to be directed at the popujerks (i.e popular jerks) and it drenched them thoroughly.

"I say karma and justice was against them today" Jamie said heatedly

Everyone was arguing about what went down.

I just sat there staring at my hand. That feeling was gone now, but I knew I felt it. It was real and it felt as if it called to me. Like someone was tapping at my brain, trying to get my attention through a tinted window.

I spent the rest of my classes trying to focus. With the last class gone, I ran to the waiting area. As soon as I spot my siblings I start walking to town. It was a 5 minute walk that i enjoyed. The bustling and laughter of students kept my mind off things.

I needed to get to my dad's office pronto.

Maybe he can convince me I'm not crazy.

Am I crazy or did I make that pipe burst?
