A/N: So hey you guys! I edited this chapter and didn't even realize how much it needed it before! It's much better now, so I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter one: Anna Jess
It was my first day of highschool, and as I walked through the condescending doors, they seemed to mock how small and fragile I was compared to them. It was a new school, new place, and I wasnt even sure where I was or the name of this school. All my parents ever told me was;
"You are different, Amy-Lynn. So is this school. It will help you."
As if I needed help. I had it all before; the boyfriend everyone wanted, good grades, I was an athelete, and I had many wonderful friends. Why did I need help? All my bitterness showed through I'm sure as I walked awkwardly through the halls, being pummeled by upper-classmen. When I finally reached my classroom, I almost wanted to run back out to the halls.
Almost.
The classroom had less than fifteen desks, and all the kids had something...odd about them. Some looked like they were listening to your every move. Others like they could see right through you into your heart. And others...well, you get the point. It was unnerving if you ask me. I sat down in the chair farthest away from....just about everything. It didn't end up being that far, because as soon as I sat down everyone started glaring at me until I moved closer. I was unnervingly close to them, and they seemed to enjoy being that close to strangers.
Once I got settled in, (as much as possible) the teacher, or "guidance lecturer" as she called it, began a long, and very boring speech about why we were here.
"Each of you young individuals has a calling. You are all here for a reason. And that reason will find you at this school, and in this very classroom. Most of you-all except one-have attended this school a year or two before. This class is for those with advanced Abilities, Abilities unlike those of normal teens- even those at this academy; and I, your guidance lecturer, will teach you to use these Abilities for the betterment of you, and other..."
After that I lost interest and zoned out. It wasn't until after class that I realized she was talking about me when she said "except one". I was the only one in that class that had no idea what her "ability" was, or how to use it or what she was even talking about. I didn't have a stare that penetrated right into the human soul, or ears that seemed to hear noiseless things.
In short, my first day was going terribly, and it had only been an hour and a half.
I had two more classes of the same length, then an hour lunch and hour free period. My only thought was "What the heck am I gonna do with an hour of free time?" The answer came to me quickly, because as I was walking along, preoccupied with my thoughts, and I bumped into this very shy-looking girl.
"Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Here, let me take care of it all." She kept on babbling on about how sorry and clumsy she was. I just stood there not knowing what to do, half-listening to her obsessive monologue. When she handed me all of my things, careful to make sure I had everything settled, she asked me
"So, are you new here?" She must have sensed that I really didn't want to talk to her, because she began blushing and speaking in a more timid tone(if it were even possible). I silently nodded my head, and stared into her face, and got lost...
I couldn't help it. It was like, her stare was holding me there, but I wanted it to. As if her eyes were calming my heart, just by being close to me. I saw everything, yet nothing in her eyes. It was like a reflection of myself, but it wasn't me. It was my aura. It was a supernova in the middle of a black hole, and it was so beautiful. It made my heart leap out of my chest, to a faraway galaxy. I didn't realize I had wondered off in imagination until she let go of the trance(I was certain she had magically put me in one) and smiled her timid, cheerful little smile and waved goodbye with a happy-
