I lay there in my cold room the light barely shining through and I sit up. Turn to see my clock flashing seven twenty. That's when the door creaked and my mom entered silently. She spoke not a word as she sat down on the edge of my bed, I kicked my legs off my bed, now we faced back to back. The room stayed dead as I stood up. She spoke in her quiet almost whispering voice, "Big day today...," she barely turned her head in my direction so I only saw her profile. I walked around the twin bed and in front of her as her head slowly followed me. I met face to face with her foggy green eyes, that's when she smiled, grabbed my hands kissed them and tells me "Eliot Jude how far you've come...please do this for me just finish high school. It's all I ask from you." I just stared at her blind eyes as they looked at me as if I was magic with the way they glistened with life. So I nodded, kissed her frozen hands and left to get ready. My  phone rang insanely, I turned towards the sound of my phone ringing Lui  it reads I answered "Hey get dressed so we can get there early so we can have a few drinks beforehand it will make the first day less shitty COME ON ELIOT I'm outside-," I looked through the blinds and sure enough that bozo was in he car. Lui Villimont, 17 years old, a junior just like me and my best friend since elementary. He spotted me and waved like the idiot he is, his boy short hair fluttering in the wind like a dusty red flag and his eyebrow piercing gleamed. I hung up, got dressed, ran outside and hopped into his shiny G wagon. "Eight ten..not bad for someone who wakes up at four in the afternoon, "I said winded he laughed "Actually I haven't slept since Saturday night," he winked at me, those pumpkin orange eyes gleaming, and off we went.

A coffee and five beers later there we were in front of hell itself Neuvestin High.

"Well, here we are!" Lui bitched as he finished another beer. Then all of a sudden a hand grabbed my tail as they ran it through their fingers I heard them say "Hey baby~," I know that voice, it had to be no other than the king of hoes himself Ariean Scoffer. He's 18 years old, a hell good football player and a pain in the ass. "Hey Arian~" I mocked, he noticed and gripped my tail in a way made me wanna punch him in the throat but instead I punched him in the shoulder. "Hey!" he hissed as he wound up to swing back. Maybe to hit me in my face or the side of my head. Only then I realized his charcoal black hair and warm skin complimented by his scarlet eyes, his perfect smile with his dimples showing and maroon devil horn and half a horn showing. Then I remembered the guy I once loved was in front of me still hotter than hell, but sadly my fist interrupted the nice-looking view. His fist also ruined my view when it made contact with my eye and eyebrow. As we both rewound Lui picked me up threw me over his shoulder and started walking away. Ariean smiled at me as I was escorted away from the scene. That damn smile and worst he winked and waved his phone at me, which most likely means he's going to call me later and skip with him to do things. That dumb king of hoes. "Put me down you-"my wish was quickly granted and I was thrown on the floor from almost six feet high, thanks to my parents I was gifted to be able to absorb kinetic energy and turn it into potential energy waiting to be released, so my reaction was clearly unfazed. "Wow thanks," I said as Lui helped me up. "Come on time to get our schedules!" He said sneaking a sip of beer.

After I got my schedule I started walking to my first class. I saw Goustonn Welvah, 16 years old and in my grade, best friend since middle school. "Eliot, how've you been?" He gleamed that warming brotherly smile. "Good, five beers and a coffee so I think I should be fine.." I laughed but his look caught me off guard "What?" "Your eyebrow it's bleeding are you okay, what happened?" He rambled. So, as he took care of the minor battle wound from this morning I told him what happened and all he said was "Damn this early Eliot?" he shook his head. After he lectured me on being safe and to be less violent we exchanged schedules and I found I had all my classes with him. "All eight...WOW!" We said.

So as I followed him around that morning before class. Someone caught my eye in our first period. Some students by the names of Iason Chanslurr 16 years old and a junior, Liam and Levi Chanslurr also 16 but fraternal twins and a junior. As I walked to my assigned seat Iason stuck his arm out and blocked my way. I just stopped a foot away from his arm and said "Move." Maybe it was the way I said it or maybe it was because my short figure and him sitting down were about the same height, but he smiled stood up, stuck his hand out and said "Howdy!" I looked up at him saw his freshly permed brown hair, dimple, straight teeth, and he surprisingly appeared to be human. Until, his little brother, by nine months, shot him in the head for what felt like something spine chilling cold it was ...snow? "HEADSHOT!" yelled Liam as another snowball formed in his palm seemingly. Then that's when I met my future best friend Levi, he ran up to Liam and hit Iason with something hot. As my eyes stopped watering from the flaming heat of whatever the hell he threw I saw him do it again he move his hand open like he was holding a ball then a tiny flame formed into a softball-sized ball of fire.  I was impressed, that's when I looked at Iason and to my surprise, he seemed to be perfectly fine despise the recent mini ambush. Iason yelled "Hey! ..." Then it was followed by a gasp, he quickly looked at me scared to death. "Are you okay?" He panicked for my safety. "You're... okay? But how? "

 I laughed as I put my ring finger and thumb in a flicking position I held it as all the nerves in my ring finger glowed white then red. "Oh... what's that?" Levi said. "Pay attention," I did it again and my nerves in my finger glowed white. "Red symbolizes kinetic energy or everything that comes in impact with me, it's the reason I can't feel pain. So then when the kinetic energy has reached where I wanted it to go it turns white to symbolize all the potential energy has reached the desired place I was to exert it out from." I held my arm out towards the wall in our classroom which are made to be as best as possible 'immune' to abilities. "Then whenever I release all the stored up force it comes out as red." Then my favorite part the sensation of a weight being lifted off my whole body I shot the wall with a wave of forceful red energy. "Woah! So if you get hit by a bus would you feel it?" I laughed "The real question is Iason how are you okay from that?" He laughed put his arm around me and said while smiling with his dimple showing "Well I may not be all smart about my ability but I know that I can adapt to my surroundings or any attacks put on me I can usually just take it and be fine as long as there physical attacks or elemental related or some other nature shit like fucking wind or dirt."

As I was going on with my day following Goustonn like a child I saw so many people I saw Mr.perfect himself Kevin Gonzalez he and I used to fool around and be freaky on the low 24/7 in middle school and even now but every now and again rather than every week. That's when I saw a girl go up to him and her lips started moving and his facial expression fell as she rambled on.
