{Brooke's POV}
I look at myself in the mirror again quickly. My brown hair drapes down to slightly below my shoulders. I decided to wear a light blue turtleneck sweater, leggings, and some tall boots today. I look down at my sink again. I hesitate to try to use my powers again. Last time I tried I ended up making the water hit the mirror so hard it cracked and we had to get a new one. Probably shouldn't attempt that again. I check my phone and see that it is 7:30, which is perfect. I run into the kitchen and grab a protein bar and my backpack and walk out of the door.
I have never revealed my abilities to anyone. I have been so afraid that someone would find out that I have no idea how they work, which probably isn't the safest. One thing I know I can do is control water, I just suck at doing so. I would end up drowning someone by mistake sometimes, so I try to limit how much I practice. Honestly, I should probably try to use them again to at least learn to control them. There have been times where I may have almost killed people... Not on purpose or anything and it may have just been a coincidence... I hope at least. I may or may not have possibly gotten really mad at my little brother at the beach and caused a tsunami. It was small and no one got hurt, but if I was really angry I bet there would have been a lot more damage.
As I am walking, I feel someone grab me from behind. I whip around and am about to punch them in the face only to realize it is Annalise Maid. Oh god. I can already tell this is going to be a long walk to school. "So, how are you?" Annalise asks in an unusually chipper tone.
"Good," I reply knowing she is going to change the subject immediately.
"Guess what!"
"What?"
"Jason Pepperson asked me to go to the movies with him again!" I am not surprised, the same thing happens every week. I mean, I love Annalise and all, but she is a bit crazy about her boyfriend. "And there's more! He and I are going to go out to eat after and then I am going to his house for a bit and it is going to be so exciting and I just can't wait!"
"That's great Annalise, but, when are you going to be able to do your homework?"
"Uhhhh...." I roll my eyes. "Listen, Brooke, you have to live once in a while, be free!"
"How am I going to be free if I am failing half of my classes exactly?"
"Ugh, you're such a Debbie Downer." I have never wanted to be at school so badly until now. Only ten more minutes... Just then there is an out of control car speeding down our way. Annalise screams and we jump to the side. It speeds by us and heads towards the school I look over and see a small leaf on the road is singed and glowing orange. I stomp it out. "Who do you think that was?" Annalise asked.
"I don't know, but if they keep that up they'll be losing their license." We walk to school silently after that. As we walk in I see a new girl strutting down the hallway. She looks everyone in the eye and almost appears to be challenging them.
"Who is she?" Annalise whispers to me carefully.
"I don't know but she seems like a jerk."
