Déjà vu || an OC UnOrdinary fanfic

"Bye Dad! See you soon!"

"Ok but be careful! The world is a dangerous place for people like us you know!"

"I know dad- I promise I'll be careful"

"Just make sure you know where the infirmary is and make friends in high places! That or make lots of friends! What have I always told you-"

"Safety in numbers" I quote, he having drilled it into my brain for as long as I can remember. But.... I don't think dad knows just how unlikeable I am. I mean, I'm an awkward low teir whose only strength is running fast and being smart- and not like that helps when people stronger than you have a body-enhancement ability. Ugh, those are sooooo annoying I just can't. Like how is that fair? I spend years training how to fight, and those spoilt brats just get everything handed to them on a silver platter. Especially the high teirs- those entitled snobs have no idea what being a low teir is like. I promise myself that if I ever become a mid teir, (it's all I can reasonably aim for, only the lucky ones like the king at my old school get large boosts) that I will never be like them.

"Love you dad! Byeeeee!"

He waves with tears in his eyes as I shut the door of the taxi that will take me to my new school.

"Where to?" The driver asks.

"Wellston please."

I've always been smart, how else would I have gotten into Wellston? With my pathetic ability level of 1.2, nowhere would accept me unless I got straight A's. I've also always had a pretty good sense of intuition, I guess that's why I steered clear of the whole Claire vs John thing, it was none of my business and I could just tell that there was no way it was going to go well at all. And whaddya know, I was right. I was in the minority of our graduating class that got away unscathed. And I never whispered about him in the hallways, our ability level was about the same, (obviously before it went boom) and I was always just there, in the background, so I think he neither liked nor hated me, which is exactly what you want with a ruthless king like him. I can only guess what happened to him after his expulsion, but I can assume it was nothing good.

I hope the king at Wellston is different.

After graduation, my dad got a job offer that paid 3 times as much as his current job did, so we upped and left to move closer. (Because there was no way my dad was going to catch a plane to work every day) My dad always told me to aim high, and so when I told him that I wanted to get into Wellston he was so proud that he told me that he'd do anything to help me achieve my dream.

"We're here"

I give the taxi driver his payment, thank him for the ride and step out of the car.

I turn and face the place where I will be spending years of my life at.

Wellston high school. I'm finally here. Not that I expect much, after all power means everything in this world, and I have no doubt that I will be beaten up and in the infirmary by the end of the day- such is just the normal routine for a low teir like myself.

What I wouldn't give to have more power.

I begin to walk towards the gates, mentally prepping myself for the ability interrogation that I will surely have to endure on my first day, and of course the fake smiles that everyone gives before they know wether you are a threat to them or not.

*smallish time skip*

"Ah, you must be the new transfer student. It says here that you came from New Bostin?"

"That would be correct sir."

I stand in the headmaster's office while the man in question looks at my papers.

"Ice manipulation? Interesting... Very interesting."

"Yes, but don't get your hopes up sir, I'm only a 1.2"

"Don't worry about that Clover, here at Wellston you can work on boosting that level"

"Thank you sir."

Of course I don't believe him in the slightest, I had my ability potential measured and turns out I could only get a powerful as 3.2(ish). My ability could be really cool if I was stronger, but at the moment the best thing I can do is give someone mild frostbite, and that's when I held their hand for a long period of time...I think it's pretty obvious as to why my first boyfriend broke up with me... (my body temperature is like -15°c! Crazy right? By science I shouldn't be alive, but here I am) 

"Anyway, that's all for now. I hope you enjoy your time here at Wellston."

The headmaster hands me a map of the school and my timetable.

"Your buddy is a girl named Evie, you have roughly the same ability level and I believe you will get along well with her."

"Thank you sir. Goodbye"

"Goodbye"

I walk out of his office and take a deep breath. Time to see exactly what this school is made of.

I look down at my paper to see what I have. Math, room 3F. Seems simple enough. I look at the room next to me. 

Room 3B

Huh, that was easier than expected. I walk a short way down the hallway and then stepped into the classroom.

"Ah, so you must be the new student. Clover, I believe?"

I nod in reply.

"Class, this is the new student, Clover. Would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Sure. So hi! My name's Clover, and I'm from New Boston. And before anyone askes me what my ability is, it's ice manipulation, but don't get your hopes up- I'm only a low teir."

And with that I walk over to the only empty seat in the room, which is next to a purple-haired girl with greenish/yellowish highlights. I say hi to her, but she ignores me. Figures, she probably doesn't want to associate herself with a low teir. Fair enough, I guess. A bit bratty though. Honestly, she looks a bit... dead??? I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it's not my business anyways.

I stop trying to speak to her and instead begin to scan the classroom for other (more friendly) people to speak to. 

I see a grey hair, [possible]

A green hair, [looks snobbish]

A turquoise, [looks entitled]

A yellow, [maybe]

I go through everyone in the class, with a handful of people who look nice. I'm checking to see of I missed anyone when my eyes settle apon a black-haired boy with golden eyes and an angry look on his face. I'm just about to dismiss him as [too angry] when I realise something. Wait, doesn't that look exactly like-

"JOHN!?"
