The Redemption(unOrdinary fanfiction)

Chapter 1: Moving in

Ella heaved her boxes over to the dormitories. Man, they were heavy! Even her brown hair and her light turquoise eyes, that were usually upbeat seemed to be straining. She brushed sweat off her forehead. Maybe I shouldn't have packed so much, she thought to herself. She finally reached her room, and plopped the boxes on her newly made bed. The noise made quite a sound. Just then, another girl came in. Her long, green hair danced as she walked in. Her ice-blue eyes seemed to be smiling, but mischevious.

"What's the fuss all about? Oh, I see. You're the new girl." She smiled at Ella's boxes. "I know, I can relate to when I was moving in. Man, you should've seen me carrying all those boxes in! I swear they were twice as heavy as yours."

Uh, I just moved into the dorms, and she's already talking to me? Ella thought. Fat chance. There must be some catch.

"Um, hi," she said awkwardly. "So... what's your name?"

"Ethma," she said. "What about you?"

"Ella," Ella replied.

"Ooh, that's a very rare name. Hey, speaking of rare, what kind of ability do you have? Is it rare, too?"

Ah, so here's the catch, Ella thought.

"Um, well, my ability is manipulating fire," she said.

"Ooh, nice! My ability is Pain Resistance, meaning I don't feel pain once I activate my ability." She smiled. "I'm an Elite. I'm almost a high tier! I'm a 4.8. What about you?"

"Um...5.2, the last time I checked, which is saying quite a few weeks ago."

"Wow! You're a high tier already! Nice! I'm jealous."

"... You can improve," Ella said awkwardly. God, she thought. I'm really bad at socializing.

"Well, I suppose I can. But we have the whole Sunday afternoon off, and I'm totally not going to spend that time chatting about abilities. Wanna go get some boba? Woaba Boba is really good. Seraphina herself used to go with-" She cut herself off. "Ahem. Sorry. Anyways, as I was saying, it's a really nice place. Drinks on me! Oh, and I'll pay." She smiled.

"Two mango bobas please!" Ethma said cheerfully to the waiter.

Ella kept thinking about what Esma had supposedly spilled out. That name... Seraphina. What was about it? Her mind pondered endless possibilities.

"You there?" Ethma said, waving her hand in front of Ella's face.

"Oh! Um... yeah," Ella said, snapping back to reality.

"Here you go," Ethma said, handing Ella her mango boba drink

Ella sipped through the straw. Mmm, delicious!, she thought. Before she knew it, she had finished her drink and started eating the boba at the bottom. Once she was done, she looked sadly down at her cup. Wow, I just moved here 30 minutes ago, and I'm already doing this?

"So, how was the boba?" asked Ethma.

"Great!" Ella replied.

"You wanna hang out?" asked Esthma. "Or do you want to go back to the dorms?"

"Well, if I had a choice, I would stay here. But I have to go back to the dorms. I still have to unpack everything..." Ella sighed.

"Oh, okay! Sorry, I forgot about that."

They walked back to the dorms. Ella was thinking that she would like this new high school. Her parents told her it would be a good place to develop her ability. Besides, everyone wanted to go to Wellston. Her parents didn't think that she actually got in! The entrance exams were not easy, nor hard.

Well, it's time to unpack.

"Phew! Finally done unpacking!" Ella exclaimed. She checked the time. 5 PM, the clock said. Well, maybe I should start making dinner. She fumbled through her pack. Let's see, some wads of bills, a teddy bear, oh! Aha, here's the pizza! She grabbed a frozen pizza out. She microwaved it, and began eating.

The pizza looked really good. She gobbled it down in a few bites, and wiped her mouth. She checked the clock again. 6:30. Hmm, maybe I should practice math? After all, tomorrow's my first day. She got out her old math workbook from her old school, and started writing in it.

***

Ella checked the time again after finishing 30 pages. It now read 7:30. Maybe I should I go to sleep very early? Ella thought. Tomorrow's my first day, and I don't want to be late. So she crawled into her newly made dorm bed, and tried to go to sleep, but her mind wouldn't let her. She kept thinking about what her first day would be like. Will the people be nice to her? Will they be mean? Will they just totally ignore her and pretend she wasn't there?

Finally, her head drifting with possibilities, she finally wandered off to sleep.
