Tower Prep: Gabe Forrest
Chapter One: The Buzz
As I listened I realized my parole officer had again fallen for my tricks. I had stolen a SatoSystems iPod. I had to be shamed by my parents before I went to meet with my parole officer. About two years ago, I had found a unique gift inside myself. It was odd, but cool. The gift was persuasion. I could make anyone do anything at any time.
After my meeting with my parole officer I went to the elevator to go home and when I got in I started to here this insanly annoying buzzing sound that sort of stop the music and when I woke up I wasn't in the elevator, I wasn't even at my house. I woke up in a class room! Even worse it wasn't even my school. I started to bug out. A guy sitting beside me started to laugh at me. I said where am I. And he just laughed harder. I stopped freaking out and listed to a man about thirty-five years old. He was talking about early Colombian history in German.
After the lecture, I went out to the hall and asked a girl about fifteen where we were. She said the only thing she knew was that you can't get out without planning and then she invited me to come to her dorm to talk about it.
After my talk in the hall with CJ as she told me her name was, I went to a door labeled Headmaster's office. I opened the door and he greeted me warmly,"Ah,you must be our new student Gabriel Forrest. I have already got your class schedule, SatoSystems laptop and iPhone, and I have pre-programmed a map of the school grounds into your phone."
As I looked at him I said ,"First of all it's Gabe and second where the heck am I?"
"OK," he said to me with a glare,"You are at a special school for people with enhanced gifts like your own."
"What enhanced gift?I don't know anything about these 'gifts'"I yelled trying to hide my fear and frustration.
"Your gift is easily seen through what you do. What can you do that others looked like they couldn't do themselves."
"Well, I always thought it was weird that people did anything I to them to do", I said doubtfully.
"You have the power of persuation. It enables you to tell someone to do anything and they do it even when they don't want to."
"OK, I will be a part of your little thing here, but all I want is one thing, my sock monkey Seniour Guapo, oh and a call to my parents."
"Mister Forrest, I can't let you make a call to your parents because it will hinder your studies here at Tower Prep," he said with a grin.
I left storming mad and went to go see CJ.
