"Okay Violet you can do this." I say to myself. Right now I am standing in my backyard. I am trying to work on my powers.

Yes I have powers.

But for some reason, they haven't been working and its annoying. I have been trying for 17 years now and I can't take it anymore. I just want it to work! But of course it doesn't. My Mom and Dad have powers and they work fine. My younger sister has powers and her powers work fine. I dont know if it just me right now.

But everytime I get angry or get embarrassed my powers go all haywire. Its like I can't control it. I keep telling my self to breath and breath, but nothing is happening.

I can move things with my mind. That's it. If I have any other power, I haven't found it yet. But my Mom, Dad and sister found it! Its so annoying.

My Dad has super human strength, my Mom can control the weather, and my sister can shape shift. I know that sounds weird but, to my family its not.

But aside from that its like 9 and its dark outside so nobody can see what I'm doing. I keep telling myself to calm down. Then out of no where I feel burning in my fingers and my head hurts.

"What the hell?" I ask myself. Then I realize. "That's it!" I do it again and I look at the garden my mother planted in our backyard. And surprisingly I pull the cucumbers out of the ground. And I scream. I scream from the top of my lungs "Mom! Dad! I did it! I controled it! Yes Yes Yes!" My parents come out of the house confused. "Whats wrong Violet?" My mom asks. My Dad just looks like he is in shock.

"I did it! I used my-"

"Shh!" My Dad whispers from the backdoor. "Are you crazy?!"

I look down at my toes "Sorry." My Dad says "Alright get inside now." I look up. "No, please just a little longer?" "No." He says sternly. "Get inside now."

"Okay, alright. Oh wait." I say "It looks like my shoe is untied." I bend down and pretend to tie my shoe. My dad walks in and slams the door shut and my mom follows. Okay, I think I can do it again.

"Breath." I say to my self "Breath." I feel the burning in my fingers and my head is pounding. I get up and pick up my hand to the chair in my backyard. I pick it up and laugh. "Yes!" I whisper this time. And I throw the chair to the other end of the backyard.

And that's when I see a boy standing there.

My eyes widen. Oh no. We are looking at each other for a split second. Then I walk slowly to my house when: "Wait! Violet!" The boy yells.

I run into my house. I know his voice from somewhere. I know he is from my school. But who? How the hell does he know my name?

I guess I will see tomorrow when I see, people. The thing with me is, I dont talk at all in school because my parents told me not too. They told me not too because I dont know how to control my power yet and they dont know if anything will happen. So I keep my mouth shut.

You know this happened before. We moved about 4 times because of mostly me. I always opened my mouth to defend people or if someone was being mean to me I would pick up all the desks in the class and throw them out of the window.

When I get in my house I slam the door shut. My parents look at me. I give them a kiss goodnight and say "You know, school is tomorrow and umm, I need to go to bed. So! Goodnight!"

My parents say confused "Goodnight?" And I go upstairs and lay down in bed. I keep thinking to myself, How could this happen? I told my parents I wouldn't do.anything bad! Damn it I literally ruin everything!

But the two biggest questions in my head right now are Is he going to tell anyone and Should I tell my parents? But I already anwsered one out of my two questions.

I am not going to tell my parents.

And with that, I pull my curly long hair into a pony tail because I am sweating.

Moving things with my mind is a work out! I know that sounds weird but its true.

I tuck myself in and go to sleep and dream about who that boy can be?
