1. The Different Ones

CH 1 POWER STRIKE

My friends- Serena, Tabby, Stephanie, Jonah, Rylan, Kiara, Chance, Bethany, Ariana, Bailey, Greg, Carlos, Anthony, Andrea, Serenity, Alec, Boysie, Hollyann, Jordan, Ally, Amy Fan, Kailyn, and I are unlike anyone else.

A bolt of lightning separated into 23 different sparks, striking each of us in the back, which sent a glowing line of light travelling to other parts of our bodies. I screamed, followed by my friends. Our eyes changed to a light glowing blue-

CH 2 THE DISCOVERY

I wake up disoriented and dizzy with a headache. I'm in a white bed in an all-white hospital room with a gown on, glowing tubes inserted into my arms & head, and suction cups with cords placed all over my skin. I had a breathing tube in my nose and an IV in my hand. I have another tattoo that looks like a barcode on my other wrist-
