"Tomorrow's the day!" Ashley yelled excitedly at me as she weaved through and ignored the guys trying to grab her attention. She looked stunning as usual with her perfect smooth black skin surrounded by her poofy, bouncing curls which went to her shoulders. She wore a black t-shirt with neon colors splashed all over it along with her high-wasted jeans which fit snuggly around her perfect waist.
"I know!" I said excitedly as soon as she reached my locker.
"What power do you think you'll get?" She asked me giddily. I was about to respond but was interupted by a deep voice behind me.
"I don't know about her," the voice said as their hand gestured to me, "but I know yours will be awesome!" They said to Ashley. I turned turned to see Trevor giving Ashley a flirty grin.
"Thanks Trevor but not interested" she said try to hold back her smile.
"Playing hard to get are we?"
"Maybe I am maybe I'm not." She said not even attempting to hide her smile this time. She must've noticed how akward I felt because her eyes quickly flicked to me then back to Trevor and she quickly said bye to him, grabbed my arm, and continued walking. "Where were we?" She asked me her attention shifting back to me."Oh yeah, powers." She answered herself. "So do you have any idea of yours yet?"
During your Junior year everyone gets a power on September 3rd. The powers are ranked based on their strength and rarety. Depending on your power's strength and rarety you are chosen to go to a different school. There's a total of five schools. School one is for the weakest and most common abilities. School 2 is for mediums, school 3 is for highs, school 4 is for extremes, and school 5 is for people who have such strong powers that they become a threat to others, but that school normally only gets 1-3 students every 4 years. If my math is right this is one of those years. The only ways people in the 5th school leave is 1. They break out.
Which has never happened
2. They prove they are no danger. 3. They die or 4. They lose their ability. And become cripples. I would sure hate for that to happen.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a guys voice say "You look hot in those jeans." I thought they were talking to me, but when I turned I saw it was Derrick and he was talking to Ashley, not me. Why did I think he would be talking to me? He probably doesn't even know I exist.
"Thanks, you don't look to bad yourself." Ashley said through a blush.
Once we continued down the hall I asked her "how do you do that?"
"Do what?" She asked confused.
"Get guys to notice you." I said dumbfounded.
"Oh, well, I don't know really..." She trailed off.
I assume it's because she's so good looking and I look like a bloody tampon because of my deathly pale skin which sticks to my tall, skinny body, and my long red hair.
"I guess I'm just lucky!" She finally said.
Yeah right, with looks like those no way it's just luck.
"Oh! I think I know what my power could be," I said sarcastically "invisibility."
"Don't be mean to yourself, you'll find someone and when you do he'll love you for you, looks and all!" She reassured me.
"Thanks." I said.

During algebra I couldn't focus on what the teacher was saying I dont think any of us could, we were to busy trying to guess what our powers would be to care. I just hoped my power would be cool
And possibly get the guys to notice me!
