Is this where our Abilities takes us?

Chapter 10 - Shift

FUN FACT: Valentine's personality is basically mine, Oliver is how I act, And Danielle is when I get angry. (To my friends, can u confirm if this is true lol)

I got up and prepared myself for school. The other night was so.  .  .  Stressful? Frustrating? Danielle is such a jerk. She can't just call me a kid and make me feel below her.

"Hey, You aren't eating your waffles." Layla waved her hand in front of my face. She had her usual long, Messy ,  blonde hair down. Wearing a pink hoodie and her jogging pants.

"I know." I stared down on my plate, Is this how Danielle looks at me? I started getting some pieces off of the waffle, Is this how Danielle picks on me? "You look angry at your waffle, What did the waffle do to you?" Layla looked at me as if I was an alien

"It's not the waffle." I mumbled "Wait." Layla looked at me with worried eyes and a face full of fear. I looked at her with confusion "Are you.  .  . Being bullied again?" Layla asked hesitantly 

Bullied.

Huh, I haven't thought of that in a while.

"I guess? I mean, There's this one girl in school that keeps hurting her 'friend' and she's hostile towards me. .  .  Yeah, I guess I'm being bullied again?" I looked down. Highschool was my escape from my elementary days, But history repeats itself.

"Stay away from them, Don't let them bring you down. And don't get near her 'friend'" Layla said " But, her friend is also my friend." I looked at her with worry. She looked at me with a face saying 'sorry' .

"Sweetie, You'll be late for school!" Mom said, sitting on her cozy chair in the living room. "Okay! I'm leaving now!" I yelled. I picked up my bag and put on my school shoes. I opened the front door and I was about to go off for school until I felt my wrist being grabbed.

"Be careful." Layla said then she let go off my wrist "I will." Well, more like try. We waved goodbye then I was off to school

I bumped into, no other than, Danielle! "Where are your eyes looking at? Or did you lose them?" She turned around and glared at me, Her silver glasses reflecting the light off of the sun.

"Unlike you four-eyes, I have two." I said then she turned back, looking at the street we both were walking on. "You hate being around me, Right?" Danielle asked "Yes, as much as you do." I crossed my arms. Her back was blocking the sun from hitting me.

"hm." Danielle said, The rest of the walk was silent. We weren't barking at each other or even talked. Danielle went to her classroom while I went to mine. I bumped into someone in the hallway, I stumbled back and hit the ground.

"I'm sorry!" I shrieked I looked up to see Henri holding out his hand for me to grab, I grabbed it and he pulled me up. "Are you okay?" He asked "Yeah, Sorry for bumping into you" I used my other hand to rub the back of my head out of embarrassment.

I realized I was still holding his hand so I let go "Haha, I'm so sorry." I looked the other way "That's alright." From the corner of my eye, I can see him smiling softly, Which made the corner of my lips curl up.

We walked to our classroom and saw that everyone was either using their phones or talking to each other or just doing nothing . I sat down on my seat beside the window and stared at the clouds.

The teacher soon came in the classroom and started teaching things I didn't understand. So I looked around the classroom to pass time (?) I guess, Then my eyes landed on the blonde who's been in my mind or a while.  .  .
