This Is The Story Of A Girl

Point of view: Lira Balintine

Hi, I'm Lira. Let me start at the beginning, the morning I was chosen for a study of mental illnesses and never saw my birth family again ( at least not until a couple months ago) I was eating breakfast with my family like I normally would. Someone knocked on our door and asked to ask me some questions about my mental health. Because I have some kickin' anxiety it didn't raise too many flags. They were just too wrong. 

They asked to talk outside and pulled me into the back of a truck. There were already a few kids in the truck and we got a new kid about every half hour. Inside the truck, there were three benches, one opposite to the doors and two on the sides. Two stops later an absolutely beautiful girl was thrown on. she had beautiful straight hair, wonderful gray-green eyes, and fair skin. I would later come to this girl as Hidi.

After eleven or twelve more kids and endless games of rock, paper, scissors, we were pulled out of the truck. I walked next to a few boys into the building where they gave me powers. The powers they gave me were claws and super healing and they inserted a hologram projector into my arm (we decided to call those watches). I made a couple friends in the training after the powers were given. Their names were Emery (Em), Hidi, Madilynne (Maddi), Cammy (Cam), Ethan, Ami, and Alana. We were all outraged (and a little loopy due to all of the junk that happened). We put our codes in each other watches so we wouldn't lose touch.

After a few weeks, I got out of that place and I was put in a very rich family and sort of became a huge misfit. I learned to control my powers much better than anything the dumb training thing could even dream of in that household. The school I was put into, of course, was a school for kids with powers. And now we are in the present! I'm going to text in the chat.

You: How's life yall?

Em: bleh

Cam: powers are hard

Ami: i'm the weird kid. Again.

Hidi: lots of words. All of them are swear words

Alana: I somehow made -3 friends

Ethan: I should have ran when i could

Maddi: everything hates me. :(

You: nice to see yall feel the same.

"LIRA, TIME FOR BREAKFAST!" The butler yelled. Well, I probably should head down for breakfast.

You: gtg bye;p

I wonder what's for breakfast? I hope its waffles or cinnamon rolls. I was walking downstairs when my half-brother punched me in the gut. My half-brother is fairly weak, his name is Leo. It was very tempting to use my claws on him but those are for more important causes, like school fights. I walked into the dining room and I was greeted by my butler and my favorite breakfast! I couldn't wait to eat my cinnamon rolls and tater-tot hash browns.

"Madam? I would like to inform you about some changes to your school." the butler said to me.

"Go on Thomas," I responded.

"There is a program in your school letting in 'normal' kids. And you'll be on a longer bus route." Thomas explained in a very plain voice. Great. I already don't get along with powered kids, just think about how I would get along with normal kids. By the way, I have ADD and anxiety (like I said). Mental illnesses and disorders are common among powered kids so they made the school for those kids to cover the fact that it's a school for powered kids because having powers is considered abnormal and is frowned upon in this society. 

"UGH!" I yelled forgetting there are other people. 

"Lira you need to shut up and eat." That was Jayden my older half-sister. 

"I'm almost done Jayden," I said to Jayden as she glared at me. I gobbled up the rest of my cinnamon rolls and drank the rest of my apple juice. I violently swung on my 100-ton backpack and started to head out the door. "BYE THOMAS!" I yelled. I caught Jayden rolling her eyes right before I shut the door and I begin to walk to the bus stop.
