      I turn in my bed. It's fucking 7 AM and I haven't slept yet. I push the brown-dyed-blonde-but-fading-out hair out of my face. UGHHHHHHH. I don't want to get up. My phone goes off. Fucking fuck. I'm going to shoot whoever this is. I grab the phone and unlock it.  Who the fuck texts me at 7 AM.
Drew: Hey, ready for our first day of high school? :)
Me: ...That's not for a week...
Drew: Which means you have a week to fix your schedule.
Me: Yeah..?
Drew: UGHHHH WHICH FUCKING MEANS WE'RE GOING TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT. Stupid. Come over, oh and my mom is making me invite my new neighbor. He just moved in, and he's in 10th grade. 
Me: Fine.

     I sit up and look down at the floor. I now understand why Hitler killed all those innocent people. He had to get up without any sleep at 7 AM. I grab the pants at my feet. Everything. I hate absolutely everything. I look and grab a T-shirt I threw on my lamp last night. I slide into my shoes and grab a peice of paper and a pen.

     "Mom,
                 Went over to Drew's. Spending the night.
                                                                                             -Alex"

      I open Drew's door. I see his mom crying and drinking on the couch in a dress that looks like she went clubbing. Eyeliner streaks her cheeks. Her feet look sore.
"He's in his room upstairs." I nod and give her a hug before I run upstairs. I walk in on him on his laptop. He sets it next to him and I sit down on his couch next to his TV.
"Dad left again last night on their anniversary." I nod.
"Sorry, I had a shitty dad too." he nods

     At about 3 PM There's a knock at Drew's bedroom door.
"DON'T COME IN! WE'RE NAKED!!" Drew screams, jokingly. I laugh.
"More the reason to come in." A sexy unfamiliar voice says. Drew laughs.
"Come in, Ben." Ben walks in and sits next to me. "Alex, this is my neighbor, Ben."
"I'm Alex." I say. He laughs.
"Obviously." He says. He has brown hair. His eyes are a weird mix of blue and green with spots of brown and a black ring around it.  I smile.

     We turned on Netflix and watched a few boring typical guy movies which means I basically spent the entire time on my laptop playing Sims and joking around with Ben and Drew. Ben is really cute, I mean I'm not going to yell at myself and do the stereotypical Oh no what am I saying I don't like guys mehhhh because I do. These are my thoughts that can only be heard by me and my fucking cousin, because out of ALL THE FUCKING POWERS HE GOT MIND-READING and what did I get? Ohh who fucking knows. My mom (Aunt, but I call her mom) says I haven't decided who I am yet, but it's honestly probably fire because that's like the basic power I've had since birth, but right now I also have power mimickry which basically means when I'm around people with powers I get their powers and well I haven't lost any of them yet, which means I am great with water breathing from my cousin and telekinesis from my aunt, and I'm pretty bad with mind reading from my other cousin and teleportation from my other cousin (my aunt has three kids.) I wasn't around long enough to find out my parents had powers too so I don't know what other powers I can use, but fire is my epertise.

"I'm going pee." Drew announces. Ben laughs and I roll my eyes.
"Alright, can you get me a coke while you're up?" I ask, and oh-so-nicely he gives me the middle finger instead.  I glance at Ben, his hand 6 feet in his pants. I laugh. "Oh my god." He turns to me and smiles.
"What. When you itch you itch." He stands up and walks toward me.
"You better wash those hands before you come anywhere near me." He hops next to me.
"Oh, you mean.. This one?" He quickly shoves his balls hand in my face. I push him away, and start laughing.
"You're disgusting!"
"At least I don't have ball in my face." I laugh and push his shoulder. "So tell me about yourself, Ball Face."
"Well my parents were killed in a house fire," I swallow and look down. "Uh and now I'm living with my Aunt who lives right next to Drew, and Drew lives right next to you, therefore, you live fairly close to me."
"Okay. Don't care. Tell me the details." He says.
"Why? So you can stop talking to me and tell everyone at school what a freak I am?"
"Oh yeah. I'm dying to dish all of the dirt. Every dirt there is will be dished," I smile.
"You're stupid." I say.
"You're stupid." He repeats, kicking my foot lightly. I stare at his eyes and attempt to read his mind. It's scrambled like eggs. I get a few words, but it's mostly static.

     Drew comes back in. He looks exhausted. Emotionally, Physically, and Mentally.
"You Okay?" Ben asks.
"It's just my fucking father I'm sorry. Let's Mine of the Crafts."

      At 8 we decide to go to sleep (We didn't sleep don't judge us.) Drew gets his bed, I lay on the couch, and Ben got the floor.
"Hey." I whisper.
"Hmm?" Ben responds. The moonlight makes his body glow. 
"Are you sure you're okay on the floor, I mean, I can take the floor if you want." He stares at me for about half a minute then suddenly looks down. I grab my blanket and pillow and sit on the floor.
"No. You can get the couch I honest to god do not mind, I just, I'm overthinking things."
"You can talk to me." He looks at me.
"No. I can't this is why I had to leave my old town."
"You.. Had to leave?" I ask. Why on earth would he be forced to leave his own home?
"I.. I said too much. You'd probably punch me in the throat if I told you anyway." I shoot him a look. "I mean It's nothing bad but some people. Some people are insane." I smile.
"You don't know the half of it." I lay on the floor with him and start to sleep.
