Chapter 1, Different.
My life had always been the same routine. I would get up in the morning get washed and dressed, eat my breakfast, pack my bag for school and walk there. It wasn’t really worth all the hassle, I really didn’t need to go to school. My life wasn’t how you read about in stories. It wasn’t perfect and always had a happy ending. No, I was never destined to have a happy ending was I? But I was still determined that I would. I don’t live in a normal world, I live in a fantasy world. The type where people can fly and have ‘heat vision’, or can even see into the future. The type where you dreamed about living, your dream heaven. The place where you wished upon a star and it all came true, with one exception-Me.
I was the type of girl who couldn’t do anything special, I couldn’t fly or see into the future. I was just the girl who did, nothing.
The one who was always picked on the netball team last, the one who always never seemed to have a partner because there was always an ‘odd’ amount of people. The one who just walked around at lunch watching the others have races, watching the others flying, showing off, having fun. I was always the loner.
Days seemed to start going as fast as minutes, and soon I was in Year 9, and yet again I was the loner. Just, A girl. A freak.
Things changed when Alex joined school though. He was different too, but not different the same as me. I mean, he was different from the rest of them, he didn’t think of me as a freak, he didn’t bully me or call me names. In fact, he was the complete opposite. The first person he talked to when he joined school was me, the person he chose to sit next to in class was me (even though there were a number of prettier girls, and talented boys) the first person he chose to ever partner up with was, me.
This boy obviously didn’t understand what was wrong with me.
It wasn’t just my lack of powers that made me different to the others, I looked different too. I had rose red hair and grass green eyes, I had a pale face and about a million freckles, my lips were a thin line that never smiled and I was too short.
All the other girls in class had beautiful hair, blonde or brown, black or blue. They had brown eyes and green eyes, some even had hazel. They didn’t have freckles they had beauty marks that matched their perfectly tanned skin, they had full plump lips that wore bright red or pink lipstick. Which parted into the most whitest of smiles, and yes, they were all so tall.
Alex was like them too, he had light blonde hair with hazel eyes, he had a dazzling smile with the whitest of teeth. I must have came up to his shoulder, yet he didn’t have the same skin colour as them. His wasn’t as pale as mine, but it wasn’t as tanned as theirs, and there was some part in me that light up inside when he smiled at me. Perhaps this boy doesn’t have powers too, I thought, perhaps he’s exactly like me.
All hope inside me was burnt out when the teacher announced him to the class.
“Right settle down you lot!” She shouted.
Everyone turned around to look towards the front, assessing the new boy, looking him up and down. Even I looked up, instead of keeping my face down to avoid the embarrassment when the boy noticed me. I saw girls smile and make space for him to set next to him, hoping to get there claws into him.
“This is Alex Crest, he is new to the school and he will be in most of your classes, for some of you,” I saw her eyes flicker towards me, even the Ms. Branningdale did not care for me, “He has the ability to relax the atmosphere around him, go on show them Alex.”
I sighed, he was just another one of them. This was just another boy, I told myself, another one to add to the other two-thousand and ninety two who dislike you. I frowned as Ms. Branningdale went and sat on her desk to watch him. This was just another normal introduction, let the boy speak, show his powers, and let him choose where to sit (which would be next to one of the girls, like when Jamie first started, he slid right inbetween the two prettiest girls and casually flung his arms around them. They both melted into his arms).
“Actually miss, I like to use my abilities for a reason, not just to show.” He said.
“Oh,” Her eyes widened at the thought “Well, I cannot make you, well, actually I can. But I will not, take a seat.”
Alex grinned at her, it was an odd sort-of smile, his teeth weren’t precisely white and his lips weren’t really plump, still he was totally and utterly pretty like the rest of them. Actually, scrap that, he was beautiful.
Alex turned and looked straight at me, I looked down right away and heard him lightly stepping over to me. I thought he was going to whisper into my ear and call me a fre
