"You can LITERALLY set yourself on fire. How is that even humanly possible?"
Ok so JJ just found out I can do that, but the most important thing about this is the fact that I just did too. What the fuck? Like of all people, why? I sneezed, and almost burned the goddamn house down. You've gotta be shitting me right now.
"Car? CAAARRRR!?!?!?" JJ waved her hand in front of my face.
I was still in shock at this time. Me? I have superpowers. I scan over my hands and arms in disbelief. I stop when JJ hits me.
"Ow! What?"
"You just burst into flames, and haven't said anything yet. So when you don't answer of course I'm gonna hit you." JJ seemed more worked up than I should have been.
JJ Ejan. My cousin. A ticking time bomb is the only way I could describe her. She and I have been close for a while. Her dad, my uncle, died a couple of years ago. Boating accident of all things. After that she stayed with my parents and I, and that's why we've been close. Jamie Jenson was the name, violence is her game.
"Carter, we have to tell somebody, anybody. You almost turned me and this entire house into a goddamn baked alaska, minus the ice cream of course. Jesus Christ, the one time I decide to leave my roooooooommm." JJ whined with her hands to her face.
I really just did that.
"Fuck me."
"He speaks. Car, what do we do?" JJ asked in a concerned tone.
"We do nothing. If I'm being honest right now I really just want to cry." I said blatantly.
I don't handle pressure well, as you can see. At this moment I, Carter Howard Ejan, wanted to cry to his mommy about what just happened. But my mom, with my dad, is at the school for monthly meetings. She knew what she was getting into right when she took a step into that school tonight. You see my teachers don't like me, and I used that statement not very lightly. But right now that doesn't really seem as important.
"Cry? Carter this is serious-"
"You don't think I know this is serious?! My parents are at a school meeting to hear about how my teachers hate my guts, and I'm here shooting fire out my fucking hands! I think I have every right to cry JJ." I basically screamed.
"Okay Carter, I'm sorry. But we have to do something," she told me.
"When my mom and dad get here, I'll tell them."
And as if on cue, those keys in the door could've been heard all throughout the house.
