Teen Mutant

I was walking home from school one day by myself in the middle of Manhattan. It was a nice Friday. School was good as usual. Central Park was beautiful in the spring. I could smell the flowers and the leaves , hear the bees buzzing and people strolling through the park and talking. Every Thing was fine. Until.
Then I saw him. Red. That was his name. Red The big top notch popular Junior kid. He was huge, played basketball and He even dated the most popular girl in school. Amara Reynolds. Red has threatened to beat me up a couple of times. All of the freshman and sophomores fear him. Even some juniors. Red was the big time quarterback for our undefeated high school football team. Another reason why he is popular. He was only nice to some people. Like all the other popular kids. He hates kids like me, smart, nerdy and unpredictable. But wit is no match to popularity I guess. I have no idea how Amara dealed with that guy.
Anyway. I saw Big Red hanging out with his usual gang of ugly shit heads. And Amara. With some of her popular girlfriends. Who probably dated Big Reds shit Hess friends. So I freaked out. The were walking toward me. Their was no way to go around them, and get back to my house. Hiding. That sounded like a good idea. While I was freaking out, Amara saw me. I was hoping she wouldn't tell Red. I was doomed. I was running out of options. Ok. Calm down. More freaking out. By now Red had to of seen me. I hid behind a tree. Most people can still see you when you hide behind a tree. I was hoping not to be seen.
Then I did it. I walked out from behind the tree. I wanted to stand up to Red. At least that was the plan. I walked up to Red. But he didn't say anything. I was confused. I wanted him to talk first. I didn't want to get beat up. Then. I felt it. I saw it. I heard it. Big Red walked through me. Wow. That was the weirdest feeling ever. He didn't notice no one did. No one else saw that. I looked down at myself. I think I would have fainted right their. When I looked down, I couldn't see my body. I think I am invisible. Red walked through me, and I couldn't see myself. What was going on? "I've been looking for you" said a voice behind me. That when I fainted, for real!
