I've looked around this room so many times before, I can remember every intricate detail. For example, the scratch in the hard wood floor from that time Jake dropped his plate in my room, and the dent in the wall just above my navy blue dresser from when we were moving and I knocked over my bed at it was standing straight up. I couldn't help notice intricate, delicate things, that's how I was born. My name is Eliza Jameson and I can hear the farthest sounds and hear the lowest whisper. Even hear the deepest thoughts, I'm telepathic, and have enhanced hearing. Nobody at my school knows about my powers, not even my best friends. I first realized I had these powers when I was five years old, it was hard not telling anyone especially when I could hear everything. I was taken out of school due to the inability to focus as a child, but I mean the average person can barely focus without super powers so think of a five year old trying to focus only they can hear every sound and notice every detail. It gets a little distracting. Anyways, I've been home schooled my entire life and now I'm seventeen. My parents have warned me about going to a real school and how hard it will be to focus but I've told them I'm okay and can handle myself. They finally reached an agreement and allowed me to go to school, yeah it would be my senior year, but just getting the experience of school would be amazing. Boy was I wrong........
