Sabrina, Chloe and I were in front of Sabrina's locker as she was grabbing her textbooks. "Ugh, these books must weigh twelve tons. How do they expect us to carry all this?" Sabrina asked us as she grabbed the pile. "We need those little golf carts. Preferably with Tiger Woods driving." Chloe said.

"Or maybe the school shouldn't give us textbooks altogether." I said. "Aaron, you're just saying that just to get out of school." Sabrina said with a knowing smile. "No I'm not! Okay, so maybe I am. But mostly so I wouldn't be in a golf cart, especially one driven by Tiger Woods." I defended.

"Uh, no offense, Chloe." I said. "None taken." Chloe said, just before lightly punching me on the arm. "Ow. Hey, you said none taken." I said. "That is no offense taken. For the golf cart comment. You didn't say anything about your school comment, though." Chloe said. "Drats." I muttered.

Suddenly we heard a locker door got kicked open next to us. "Excuse me, Smellman." Gem said as Sabrina, Chloe and I noticed her. "So, did you commoners notice I lost an eighth of a pound?" Gem asked us. "Hmm, leave your brain at home again?" Chloe asked Gem mockingly.

"That's a eighth of a pound lost? You actually consider that a milestone? You look exactly the same as before. What's next, rich people are the next broke?" I asked Gem sarcastically. "Oh look, they're trying to be funny. Of course, if you were to be with me, Aaron, I could help you be more funny." Gem said. "At what, the we're rich but too cheap shop? No thanks." I said.

"Your lost. But no, I'm referring to my new Wave Moth look." Gem said, holding up a doll. "So you're trying to be a doll? Which one? Please don't tell me you're trying to be a Bratz doll, otherwise you need to have no nose and might be known as a child of Voldemort." I said with a smirk as Sabrina, Chloe and I fist bumped each other.

"No, Wave Moth! As in, the supermodel." Gem said, causing Sabrina to laugh. "Silly me. I thought you were going for Wave Moth the monster trucker." Sabrina said, causing Chloe and I to snicker. "I believe she meant trying to be like the Bratz dolls with no nose, wanting to be 'perfect' as well." I said.

Gem mockingly laughed at us before throwing the doll back in her locker. "Freaks." Gem muttered as she shut her locker and left. As soon as she said that, I felt a hot burst of anger in me. It's not the first time I've been called a freak and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last either.

For most of my childhood here in Greendale, I have been called a freak because many times, my Gem powers have gotten shown in public more than once before I could even get control over them. Plus, there was that one time when I was six, the incident where I got my scar. Just imagine what would happen if they knew I have magic.

"Uh, Aaron? Your eye is red again." Sabrina said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What?" I asked. "Your left eye. It's red again. And is it normal for your some dark...stuff to come off you?" Sabrina asked. I looked down and just like when I was sick and pissed at Harvey, I noticed that dark stuff were coming off me. I managed to take a deep breath to calm myself and saw that it was gone. My eye also turned back to normal, given Sabrina's sigh of relief.

"Aaron, what was that?" Sabrina asked. "I don't know." I said. "Honest?" Sabrina asked. "Honest!" I defended. And the truth is, I actually don't know. When I tried to get a answer from my parents, they either dodge the subject altogether or try to claim that it was a fever dream I had. But I know they're hiding something, I can see it in their minds that they're hiding something relating to this from me. But why?

"Gotta admit, those jeans a pretty trick." Chloe said as Gem walked past the softball team, causing them to look at the latter. "Look at those softball guys drooling over her." Chloe added. "Oh come on, Chloe. Like I care what other people think." Sabrina said, trying to get Chloe to move along.
