A New Change
------------------
Part one
NEW ARRIVAL
I was different and I knew that. I never had a problem of being the one left out in a crowd but when you have to keep a secret from your friends than that's when it starts to bother. In some ways I was happy i was going to a school where there would be more people like me but he truth was I didn't want to be 'gifted' the way my aunty Steph said it. When she would say it, it seemed like she was HAPPY I had my powers, like it wasn't a big deal. I couldn't blame her though, she didn't have any powers so she didn't know what it was really like. My aunty told me one night my mom was gifted also, and so was my father. I guess the powers were some genetic thing that past from my dads blood to mine. It had always been a mystery to how my mother got them, especially since nobody else form her side of the family had them. I sighed as I thought of my parents. How could they leave me at only age 16?I missed them so much it hurt to think of my moms gorgeous face and my dads brilliant smile. They were both good people and they didn't deserve to die.They past away just five months ago, but Steph wouldn't tell me what happened. I didn't know what caused their death, where they were when it happened,why it happened or anything at all. All i knew was that I received my powers that day and that they didn't deserve to die and I wished they were steel here with me today.
I was lost in my thoughts when we arrived at the place that was going to be our new home. "Ella snap out of it, we're here!" My aunty said in a voice that was full of excitement.I shook my head to get my mind out of the daze I was in. I smiled at my aunty and tried to sound as happy as possible "Yay! The house looks nice" I replied.It was a small house but cozy. There was a white wooden fence around a small square shaped lawn.The walls were painted a soft shade of pink and flowers were growing from every spot in the grass. My aunty turned the mini van off and I hoped out of thevehicle.Steph and I went to the moving truck and carried all of our belongings into the house.The day went by pretty fast. We unpacked most of the stuff had dinner, watched a movie than went to bed.
I tossed and turned most of the night.my dreams weren't always pleasant since I received my gifts and lost both of my parents. The alarm clock went off. I groaned, got it and pressed the snooze button. After a few minuted my aunty went into the room and made me wake up. "It's time to wake up you have school" she said as she knocked on my door. My new room was just right down the hall from the kitchen and across from my auntys.Steph had decided to give me the bigger room considering I had more furniture than she did."Uh-huh" I said to let know i was getting out of bed. I was glad i unpacked most of my clothes last night and walked to my closet.I took a long shower enjoying the warm water drip onto my back. When I was finally out i put on my grayish skinny jeans, a fitted black v-neck top and layered it with a white studded belt. I slipped on my white converse and pulled my chocolate brown hair, which was the same color as my eyes, into a simple ponytail leaving my side bangs cover my left eye.
When i walked out of the bathroom i decided to go to the kitchen. I found my aunt sitting at the glass table with two plates of eggs, sausage, potatoes and two glass of milk. I stayed looking at her admiring her beauty. She had the same grey eyes as my mom, a heart shaped face, and a light shade of brown hair that was always down against her carmeal complexion. I was glad she hadn't noticed my stare and greeted me with joy in her voice."Good morning, my love". Although her voice was cheerfull and sounded happy I knew she was really worried. With my power it was hard for people to hide their emotions from me. I was able to sense what they were feeling and if wanted I could change those exact feelings. Of course as soon as i left from where they were that atmosphere would change again, back to the way it was before I used my power. At the new school I was going to attend my goal was to learn how to control my power to where it wouldn't ware off as quickly. "Morning aunty" I replied as I sat down. She took a small bite of food then tried to make small talk and act happy. It was getting on my nerves that she was trying so hard so I made it easier for her. I blocked out what she was saying and concentrated hard. After, her tension went away and she didn't have to fake her happiness. We both ate then she drove me to school.
She parked the mini van and I unbuckled. "Love you sweetie, have a good day at school" she told me while I was getting out. "you to" I told her before I shut the door.The van pulled away and i took a deep breath before i walked closer to the school building. As I walked my brown hair swayed from side to side. I pulled out my schedule from my hot pink back pack and walked to my first class. I was the first one in there and sat at a table that was in the back of the room. I tried to memorize my schedule than the bell rank. A bunch of kids rushed their way in. Once the teacher walked into the class the kids suddenly grew silent. He looked like he was in At least his mid fifties and wore a grey suit. "We have a new student" He announced to the class. He turned his attention to me"Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?" he asked.I sighed and stood up. I hated to be the center of attention. I forced a smile and did what the teacher ordered. " I'm Ella." He observed me and nodded. "Tell us something about you" he ordered. "Um I love music, and ..I uh I don't know. There isn't much to say" I mumbled turning a light shade of pink.
