I stumble.
"N-no. I don't have a-a girlfriend!" I stutter.
"Oh Alenna, you don't remember?" Now she's almost crying.
"D-don't cry, I- you- you're really beautiful." I feel so lovestruck and I don't even know this girl.
"Alenna, your sister is waiting for you," she sobs.
A girlfriend and a sister?
I see a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes exactly like mine turn the corner.
"Alenna, there you are! The nurse told me you escaped! You should go back to the nurse's office now befo-"
I cut her off mid-sentence.
"Who are you?" Her jaw drops and she looks at the sobbing girl. I look at both if them and run.
I just run. I have no idea where, I just feel so guilty for not remembering them. I run out the doors and keep running until I end up in a forest somewhere.
I pant, knowing I would have to go back sometime.
I sit down on the ground and start crying.
I don't remember anything.
Is it even worth this anymore?
I get up and walk towards a tall tree, noticing something moving in it. I try to get a better look at it by moving around the tree. No success.
My feet are then lifted off the ground and I end up at the very top of the tree.
I land on the tree which is surprisingly firm for leaves.
There is a small wooden house in the middle of the tree and I walk to it. I walk around it, seeing if there's anyone outside. I shrug.
I suddenly hear a voice, a voice that sounds familiar. I don't want to feel guilt again.
I walk to the edge of the tree. Without even thinking, I jump.

Valerie's POV
I lean against my hand as I watch water drops trickle off my fingertips, down my pencil and onto the paper. My sister puts her hand on the back of her seat to warm it up.
"Jenna, stop." Said my mom.
My mom doesn't understand us. She was never a zodiac master like us. Our dad was but he went out to work one day and never came back. We have no idea where he went. My hands start to sweat.
"Val, stop."
"It's sweat, ma," I mumble. She hates it when we use our powers. The only thing she almost ever says to is is "stop".
It hurts. It really does. I want my mother to love me and her telling me to be "normal" hurts.
I hug myself and start crying into my knees.
"Val, no water!"
