i am special.
and i'm not meaning that in any selfishy way or anything.
i have... powers.
like eleven, my friend in the party.
i met the party when i was 13 and one month.
everyone in the party knows about eleven's powers.
where she can move things with her mind and such.
but none of them know about mine.
i have many, many powers.
although, i gain one new one every other year.
i was born with no powers.
on my second birthday, i developed the power to teleport.
on my fourth birthday i developed the power to control people, make them do whatever i want.
when i was six, i could open the portal to ANY world.
when i was eight, i was able to make people see things.
when i was ten, i was able to kill or heal anything just by staring at it.
recently, when i turned twelve, i was able to make anything i wanted appear in front of me.
i am now about to turn 14, in two days.
who knows what power i will gain this time.
(present time)
"Mike! look at this!" eleven called, catching the boy's attention.
she levitated the dice we were using for dnd.
mike chuckled and smiled.
i rolled my eyes, i love eleven and all but she always brags about the fact that she has powers and she always tries to get Mike's attention. because she likes him. a lot.
i'm not sure if Mike likes her back or what.
i'm kind of thinking he likes Will, but i'm not sure.
he does like somebody in the party, i'm not sure who.
one day we were playing truth or dare and Lucas asked Mike, 'who do you like?' and he answered, 'mm, i'd rather not say, but i can tell you it's someone here'.
i remember the way both Eleven and Will's eyes lit up.
yeah, i liked Mike but i kept that a very secret secret.
"y/n? you alright?" Max asked me, snapping my out of my thoughts.
"yeah. just thinking"
"what about?" Lucas asked.
"the past"
they all nodded and we continued our game.
(two days later)
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/NNNN!!!!!" Max and Eleven squealed while hugging me.
"aw thanks guys!"
"yeah happy birthday y/n/n" Dustin smiled.
"happy birthday" Will smiled, shyly.
"happy birthday" said Lucas.
"thanks guys, where's Mike?" i asked.
"oh... he's sick unfortunately, came down with the flu" Dustin told me, i mumbled a 'oh'. "yeah, he told me over the walkie to say he's sorry, he sounded real sick"
"aw. hope he gets better though"
"yeah"
there was a moment of awkward silence before the bell nearly scared me to death.
"i'll see you guys at lunch!" i yelled as they walked off to class.
(after school)
i ran home.
i had to be home before 6, because 6 is when i gain my power.
i quickly did my homework and then sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for 6:00.
it was exactly 5:59pm and 45 seconds.
15...
14...
13...
12...
11..
10..
9..
8..
7..

suddenly, a person busted through my bedroom door.
"MIKE?!?"
"y/n! i'm sorry to bother you, but i came to wish you happy birthday! i also need to tell you something, it's really importa-"
"MIKE. YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE. NOW"
"what why? what's going o-"
right as he said that, i fell to the floor, it was happening.
blood was oozing from my nose, as the new power came over me.
i screamed as lights flickered inside my room.
over my screams i could heat Mike yelling, "what the hell is going on!!? y/n are you okay??!?!?"
then, it finally stopped. 6:01pm.
a message appeared in my head.
i had gained telekinesis.
like eleven.
"oh my god. what just happened" Mike said.
i leaned back onto the foot of my bed in exhaustion.
"your nose, y/n!" he rushed over, "it's bleeding!"
"yeah no shit Mike" i chuckled.
he ignored what i said, and cleaned up my face.
"what... happened..."
i kept quiet.
"y/n."
"okay fine. i have powers, like eleven. my name isn't really y/n. it's two"
Mike just looked at me, in complete shock.
"i gain powers every two years, a new one"
"what did you gain just now?"
"telekinesis"
"what ones did you have before?"
"teleportation, power to control people, open any portal to any world, make people see things, kill or heal anything, and make anything appear in front of me"
"wha- ho- w-" Mike stuttered
"wow" he finally said.
"..yep..."
"why didn't you tell me? or us?"
"because i thought you'd see me as a monster"
"what? no! not at all! eleven had powers, i don't think of her as a monster"
"well she really clicks with you guys, she's meant to be with the party. i came here late, in the odd one out"
Mike slowly shook his head.
"and..." i said, "you like eleven and eleven likes you. so-"
"what?"
"eleven likes you, you like ele-"
"no. yeah i heard you. but no. no i don't like her, like that"
"you don't?"
"no"
"because it sure seems like it"
"well, trust me. i don't"
"so it's Will?"
"what? no."
"Max?"
"no!"
"WHO?"
"YOU! OKAY? ITS YOU!" he yelled, immediately clapping his hand over his mouth.
"y-you do?"
"...yeah"
"i do too"
"you like me back?" his eyes lit up.
"yeah"
"i... just-" he stuttered, then just leaned in and kissed me.
wow this kinda sucked
