I blink my eyes open blearily to see Alex's face above mine. He's really cute. I guess I never really noticed, but he is really cute. "We're at your house." he says. I look over. "Oh...thanks for giving me a ride, I guess." I look over at him and put my hand on the handle, opening it and getting out.

I watch her shut the door and walk up the steps. Before opening the door she turns around, smiles and gives a little wave. I drive away towards my house feeling mixed up and complicated. i park in front of my house and get out. neither o my parents are home so i just go in and fall asleep on the couch.

I curl into a ball on the ground. I wish that everyone hadn't gone away. There were no footsteps, making me feel lonely again. When my family died, there had been no footsteps. But back then I couldn't have felt them anyway. That crash was the reason that I'm blind now. My ability had developed with that...or had it? I just don't know anymore.

I wake up on the floor to the sound of andi's ringtone. i blink a few times and feel around for it. My hand finally touches it and i push the answer button. "hello?" i say, groggy. "where are you?!" andi's voice replies, angrily. "Second period starts in 5 minutes!" "and i need to be there why?" "What do you mean by that? you can't just not go to school any more. im not going to let you do that anymore alex." i sit up and lean against the couch. "god you sound like my parents." silence. "andi? andi im sorry. i didnt mean to--," "when you decide to be a little more friendly ill see you at lunch." she hangs up. i throw my phone against the wall and the battery falls out. i put my hands on my face and rub my forehead then go to but my phone back together and see if it works. to my relief the screen lights up and everything seems to be working. maybe i should go to school. i start over to the stairs to my room when the door bangs open and my mom comes in being guided by her friend. she shes me at the bottom of the stairs as her friend sits her on the couch. "you.." she says with a light hiss in her voice, "why are you here. i thought i told you to go to school." her words are all mushed together and she gives a little hiccup. she looks murderous but since she's drunk i figure she wont know the difference when i say, "i came home to get something. its lunch time." she glares at me some more then runs to the bethroom to throw up. her friend looks at me with a sad expression on her face. "it's 9 in the morning. you shouldn't lie to your mother." i run up the stairs to get dressed for school feeling like i wish i could just escape from all of this shit.
I stare out the window in my science class extremely bored when i see alex's red mustang pull into the parking lot. i sigh with relief ad dont even realize it when my teacher asks me a question. "andi. andi. ANDI!" the last andi makes me jump. “pay attention.” “sorry.” I mumble and try to pay attention harder. But I can’t with all of the things that have happened. Clearly I have some sort of ability. And so does Jason. Who else does? I look around the room at everyone in the room. It could be anyone. I look out the window at alex walking up to the school. It could be anyone.

I rest my chin on my hands as I stare at my math teacher droning on about functions or something like that. "Katrina, what's the answer?" he asks. I glance around the classroom. Everyone is staring at me. Jason is quietly snickering under his breath. "Um..." I trail off. "Pay attention next time. Jason." He calls on Jason as I zone back out again. Why was Jason ignoring me? Suddenly, a shrill ringing brings me out of my reverie. I pack up and stand up. "Katrina, can you please come up here?" Mr. Bauer asks. I bite my lip and walk up to him. "Katrina, is something wrong?" He asks me. I give him a weird look. "I always zone out in class, Mr. Bauer. You know that!" I say. He shakes his head. "No, I mean is there something going on between you and Jason? You two always sit next to eachother and you're always talking." He says. "No, it's nothing." I shake my head as students for his next class file in. He doesn't look convinced. "Let me write you a pass." He says and writes it. I wait patiently. He hands it to me and smiles at me. "I'm always here to listen, Katrina." He says. I leave and walk to my third period in dread. Jason and I are student aids for one of the Freshman teachers. I walk in and everyone turns to stare at me as I hand Mr. Lowry the pass and go to the back of the room, sitting on the couch against the back wall. Jason leans over like he wants to say something, then decides against it and leans back, closing his eyes. "Jason." I whisper. He glances over at me through slitted eyes, but doesn't respond. "Jason, we need to talk." I hiss. He ignores me and I feel tears sting my eyes. I look towards the front of the room. "Mr. Lowry, can I just have a free period?" I call. He nods and I grab my stuff, walking out. I barely see Jason sit up and watch me go. When I get to the hallway, I let out a small sob and run down the hall. Suddenly, I run into a hard chest and I fall to the floor, all of my things falling out of my arms. I vaguely look up to see Alex, an expression of shock in his eyes as he kneels down to help me.
I sit back, putting my face in my hands. I was such a monster! I had made her cry! I had made her CRY! As the realization that I'm hurting her sinks in, I sag back. I can't hurt Kat. She's my best friend. "Jason!" Mr. Lowry calls. I look up. He nods his head sideways to the door. "Better hurry." He says. I get up and race into the hallway. My fists clench and the anger threatens to burst out as I see her on the floor with Alex. He is helping her pick her things up. I stalk the other way.

ooc: how would kat react if there was another girl in the equation? this can go either friend or more, depending on your "plot" that you love so much.
I bolt into the school. "I'm late, I'm late, I am so, so late!" I cry as I run through the school, my messanger bag swinging at my side. And I don't even have a first period! That's an hour and a half to sleep in and I still manage to be late more often than not. I was tempted to transform and let Haley fly us to school, but a girl flying around with blue wings would have been an awkward sight. I'm so focused on getting to class that I run head-first into a guy walking the opposite way in the hall. I squeak and bounce back, landing on the floor. "Sorry," I say, rubbing my back where it hit the ground. I look up to see who I ran into. Above me stands a really cute emo guy with black and white hair. I have to admit I have a soft spot for emos.

(ooc. Nu nu nu! That wouldn't work with the plot. Just friends. Srrys) "Sorry!" I exclaim, bending down to help her pick up her books. I glance up at her to find her staring at me. "Um, are you okay?" I ask. She blushes bright red and stands up, racing down the hall without answering me.

Ooc: let me clarify. The "more" would just be for others benefit. They would make good best friends.
I blush and stand back up. "Oo, I'm still late!" I turn and run back off again. I make it to class about a half hour in, slipping into the back of the classroom.
I turn around as I hear the door open. One of the freaks walked in late again. This one was...I don't even know. There's no reason to learn their names. I've never had to interact with them. Bored of the class, I play around with the new ability I discovered. Discreetly, but fun. I focused on my paper. Words appeared. She knew they didn't make any sense, but it looked like I had been writton the entire time when the teacher came around. It was pretty convenient.

We stand back up after all Kat's papers are safley nesteled back into her arms. "sorry about that. i didnt even see you." she smiles. "it's okay. thanks for helping me pick everything back up again though." "it was no problem." i smile. it felt so natural to talk to her. i look at her face and her smile and i lean forward an kiss her.
"andi?" mr. troph says. "ya?" "could you take this down to the office for me?" he asks, extending his arm holding a peice of paper. "ya" i tak the paper and walk out of the room. just walk forward and turn right and... i jump back behind the wall beucase what i just saw was alex and kat. suddenly i get a pang in my chest and i can't breathe as i realise that i love alex. that would explain this feeling i have right now. i love him. but clearly he doesnt love me back. i turn around to go the other way when i see jason. what is everyone doing in this damn hall i think, holding back tears.

I freeze as I feel his soft lips on mine. Before I know it, all of my things fall out of my arms and I wrap my arms around his neck, tangling my fingers in his black hair. I feel the cool metal of his snake bites press into the skin below my lips. I'm in bliss!
I see Andi walking down the hall towards me. She looks like she's about to cry. "Andi, what's wrong?!" I call, stopping her. I hold her arm softly as I wait for her to answer.

Jason takes my arm as i walk down the hallway. "Are you okay?" he asks again. I look at him and attempt a smile. "i-- im okay i guess." "No, you're not. now tell me what's wrong" i take a deep breath. "i just got overwhelmed in class. thats why im here. taking this note. to the office." he nods. "so then-- why are yougoing this way?" he asks, "it'd be faster to go that way," he pints down the hallway. "im getting out of class longer," i reply quickly.
i feel like im walking on air as our lips move rhythmically together. We stop slowly and when i look down i know why i feel that way in more ways then one. We're floating a foot in the air. We both give a lttle scream as we fall to the ground.

I grip Alex's arm tightly as my foot lands unevenly. I bite my lip as my ankle bends sideways. I'm pretty sure I sprained it. I stumble as he stumbles and we both end up falling. I fall on his chest, knocking the breath out of both him and I before I let out a small giggle. He looks at me like I'm crazy as I continue to giggle. Before I know it, we're both laughing like mad men.
I walk with Andi in silence, my hand still softly on her arm. Before I can comprehend what I'm doing, I spin her around and kiss her, shocked by my own actions.

Shocked by his actions i almost stumble back. but then i shock myself as well by wrapping my arms around his neck and kiss him back.
The laughter finally dies down and we sit up and begin to regather kats stuff. "what was that? i mean that was seriously weird." i say. then i remeber yesterday when i kicked the gravel and it hovered. " wait," i say, stopping kat from saying something. "this is weird. me, andi, jason. we all seem to have..." "developed super powers?" she says. "ya. that."

I look over at Alex as he helps me pick up my things. I suddenly feel very left out. They all have special powers and what do I have? ~WOW! That kiss was fiery!~ I gasp and freeze as Alex looks sharply over at me. Those thoughts were definitely not mine! "A-alex, what did you just think?" I ask him softly. He gives me an odd look. "I think we just kissed and-" "No, that's not what I meant!" I huff impatiently. "I meant in your HEAD." I say. He blushes and mutters something inaudible. "I couldn't hear that, what?" I ask. "WOW THAT KISS WAS FIERY!" He shouts. My eyes widen. "Alex, I-i heard your thoughts" I say in shock. He stops, his hand hovering over my Civics book. I bite my lip and let out a small giggle. "So much has been happening." I say, standing up. He stands up and hands me my stuff. Our hands meet and a shock runs up my arm. I jerk my arms away, looking up at him. By the look on his face, I know he felt it too. "Alex, does this mean that we're d-dating?" I ask him softly.
I step back to take a breath. I'm in shock as Andi and I stand there in the hallway panting. "Wow..." I trail off. "Andi, w-will you go on a date with me?" Good one, Jason. Stutter why don't you!

"um. ya." i say, still kinda frozen from the kiss. "so i'll pick you up at 7?" he asks. i nod and he smiles and walks down a different hallway. I almost forget about the note in my hand and walk to the office my head spinning.
We all have abilities. something weird is gong on. i think then snap back to reality. I spin kat around and put my arms around her waist from behind. putting my head on her shoulder next to her arm i whisper, "ya. i guess it does." but somewhere in the back of my head something feels...wrong, but i cant feel that wrong.
