I am Just an ordinary girl or is that too typical? Of course with every ordinary girl comes a secret lying inside, waiting to be found... But if anyone finds this secret my whole life could be turned upside down.
Unsure of where or who to turn to...
Do you think that you are ordinary, living in an ordinary house in an ordinary town? Well that's what I -Ella Bridge- wish I could say but I have something extraordinary. A power. I don't know much about it or why I have it but I do know that this gift was given to me and not anyone else which means I must use it wisely or else someone will find this secret of mine and it could change everything.
As long as I can remember, I've had this skill, talent, whatever you want to call it and it's never been a problem, I learned how to control them which usually intended, doing more chores around the house and my parents were always supportive. Looking back now, at all the times my dad took me outside and practiced my "flying", I probably did that for hours. I have to say I learnt from the best even if my dad couldn't fly. But this didn't matter because I was shielding this from the world, no one else could see or be affected by it so the problem occurred when I had to face the open air and I was very confident with my powers I found I very difficult to keep them a secret.
There were a couple of times I almost let out my secret: I was about 10 and at school at the time. I was at my desk, playing with my pen, levitating it up and down while no one was watching...
Suddenly another student dropped a box's of books and scared the living daylights out of me, so much so the pen flew up in the air and stopped 4 or 5 centimetres from the ceiling. Seeing this, my eyes immediately turned to the teacher who was staring at the box on the floor with books scattered across the class floor. I held the pen in the air for a minute until I was sure this time, on one was paying any attention and released my telepathical grip of the the pen. I watched I fall into my hand and carried on writing and from then on I was much more careful.
With 16 years behind me now, I am now having to think about what I'm going to do with my life and where I will go. I was apprehensive about how my life would plan out, weather I would be in a lab, being tested on or on the run from the police because of the thing that I had and no one else. The future may have been uncertain but I had hope that it would end up okay.
My parents nagged me to get my drivers license but I was hesitant to, thinking back the pen incident I didn't want to have to answer for a floating car and anyway I prefer walking to places instead of driving in a stuffy car.
I had a job working in a traders company which only in tails answering the phone to people, checking workers in and making lunch for them. I have to say I actually enjoy my job I only work 4 days a week, don't get paid amazing money but who does these days and I had been there for about a year and 1/2. As well there are no bi*ches there, as most of the traders were men, who were always polite to me, that was why I liked it so much I think. I was promoted to a higher position in the company and agreed with a bit of regret to begin with but eventually realised it made my job even better.
With, what I like to call my "normal life" going well, I only had to concentrate on my "other life". I had used the power for some good things like, using it to stop a woman from nearly falling onto a main road and a man walked down the street, a vase from one of the apartments above plummed down, nearly hitting him but just in time, using my telekinesis I pushed him out of the way. My mum calls me a hero in disguise but I just think of it as a good deed.
One of my closest friends Joules who doesn't know about my power and I just couldn't tell her even if I wanted to. Even if joules doesn't know about my power, we still talk about the latest gossip like we did back in high school.
Joules and I were inseparable at school, we had some other friends that we hung out with but me and joules has something special and we both made a truce that we would stay in touch when we left school. When we left high school, joules and I were single, it was about 3 months after that joules got her first "proper" boy friend. His name was Ian dickens and he REALLY was a D*CK. from the first day I met him I hated him and everything about him, the way he looked, the way he acted around joules just made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't put my finger on it but there was just something about him.
