I walked down the some-what empty, fast moving, streets of New York. It wasn't normally this fast, But when It was raining it was. And right now It was raining. But that didn't make me walk any faster than I do when it's not raining, I walked like a zombie on my trip back from Blockbuster making my way towards the tower.
Pepper would probably kill me for being out in the rain and being late home, But she found it a normality now. She was used to me coming in late, not talking to her, and then going to my room until it was time to eat the next meal. Sometimes I hear her talking to Tony on the phone about it, a Drunk response coming back. Those were the best phone calls.
I stepped into the tower after, what felt like hours of, walking from School to the Blockbuster, and then back. I shivered as I adjusted to the warm atmosphere, and walked to the Elevator. "Hello Ms. Stark." JARVIS greeted me. "Hey JARVIS." I droned and punched in the code on the Elevator. It blared once I pressed enter, I let out profanities under my breath. Before I knew it Happy was coming over to shut off the alarm. "What the heck, Happy?" I asked annoyed, once it was off.
"Your dad had me reset the code." He pulled out a piece of paper and a pen out of his cheap suit pocket and writing down the new code. "Here, kid." He told me, patting me on the back and stepping in after me. I pressed the button to the floor I live on and leaned against the back of the wall. So much for a lonely trip up. Happy continued to talk about security and new ways to make sure no one can get up to our floors. Honestly I had stopped listening about halfway through.
Once the doors opened I let out an exhale of relief. "I'll see you later." I said and ran to my room, before Pepper could come and find me. I needed to stop doing this, But how could I? I didn't know what to tell her.
"Hey your boss adopted a freak!" That would about work. I sighed in frustration, sliding down the door. I took my book-bag off and kicked it across the room, It hit something wooden under my bed which I had gone to find. Crawling under my bed I realized how private it was. Was I become a hermit? Complimenting the underneaths of beds. So I laid there, looking up at the underneath of my mattress and thought over what all had happened to me I was hiding.
1. Pepper didn't know I was on my period yet. Or least I hope not.
2. I changed clothes in-between school sometimes.
3. I was a monster.
One of those things is not like the other, right? That's right I am a monster. A freak. I had these powers that had just shown up out of no where one day. Woke up one day and I was floating over top my bed like a freakin' vampire! At first I thought it was another one of those dreams you wake up from feeling like you've just sky dived. But I was wrong. I went to school the next day and no one could touch me the whole week! I thought maybe they were just rude, But when Jenna wouldn't touch me I knew something wasn't right.
And the more and more powers came, they kept coming. I was 12 ½ at the time, I wasn't ready. I'm still not ready. I don't want this. Jenna and I barely talk anymore, and she's my only friend left. I pulled my Nokia out of my pocket, sniffling as I typed in Jenna's number. After a few rings it finally picked up. "Hello?" Jenna asked, her voice as happy as ever. "J-Jenn?" I asked in a shaky voice, a sob coming out. I needed my best friend. "Lil? What's wrong?! Hold on I'm coming over!" She hung up and I crawled out from under my bed. I changed out of my Khaki pants and Polo shirt. Changing into a pair of Black Skinny Jeans and a baggy sweatshirt.
I walked into the bathroom and cleaned myself up as much as I could, totally dismissing the box I had been looking for. I walked into the hall, and into the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge for a snack of some kind. I found a Twinkie and unwrapped it, taking small bites. I went into the living room and sat in the chair by Pepper and Happy, I acted as if they had just seen me yesterday. "Jenna is coming over." I told them, this seeming to get Pepper's attention.
