I glare at the test in my hands, as if looking at it hard enough would make it disappear. My heart raced as I read more of its questions and problems. All these years, since I was young, I never could understand Math. I knew from the start that I would fail it this year. I was doing fine in everything else, but even then I sometimes didn't get the best of grades.

I sighed and wearily palmed my face. "Well, at least I'm going to try this," I told myself quietly. I slowly sighed in defeat and then breathed in a deep breath. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what my teacher has thought me from the past few days.

In an instant, the formula I needed for number one came into my head. I smiled like a light bulb lighting after one of the major electrical blackouts that were recently plaguing my area.

But when I opened my eyes, the formula remained in my vision, like it was engraved right into my eyes. It was weird and I blinked a few times, hoping that it would be stop, but nothing happened. Then, when I wanted it gone and concentrated a little, it just disappeared like I wanted it to. Odd. I must've looked like a weirdo in class, blinking rapidly while taking the test. I moved on and solved number one, and for the first time, it was easy. That vision or whatever it was remained for the rest of the day and because of that, it helped me do well on each of the tests I took. I'm starting to love it though, even though I think that there is something wrong within me. I almost tried asking someone about it, but decided not to. People might think that I am cheating and I don't like causing any troubles.

After class, I left school and headed straight home. As usual, the whole place was busy with people heading to school and home from work. I'm used to it now and I also like it that way. It makes me feel like I'm not alone though I oddly don't have anyone to talk to today.

It's strange, but since this mind power appeared in my mind, no one has tried to talk to me. They still did talk of course, but the problem is that I had to start the conversation with them. I admit that I'm a very noisy person and I am not really used to this happening. Doesn't mean I can't still live with it. I'm starting to think that it has to do something with the 'power' I have that makes other people think that they need to stay away from me. I'm kind of glad that I have it though. It's not like I would complain about it and I don't plan on sharing it or telling anyone. This is quite a big advantage and I don't want to lose it. Besides, I do happen have trust issues with other people, even if we're pretty close. Everyone has their own secrets, but this is too good to be true.

As I walked home, I suddenly feel entirely aware of my surroundings. I could suddenly tell what's behind me, even if I couldn't hear it. This is getting weird. I shook my head, but I still can't shrug the feeling of knowing exactly what is where in the area around me. Finally, after a few minutes I got used to it and forgot about it.

Ten minutes later I arrived at my house. Yes, it is close to my school and I like it. It helps me hang out with friends easier if we meet in or outside the school and because I am close to the school, I seem to save a lot more money that normally would be payed to get there and back. I no longer needed to spend money in order to get to school. But, some people would say that they don't like being so close to school, but I prefer to not know their reasons because it's kind of annoying for me. They should be thankful for living close to school.

I set aside my bag and head directly to the dressing room and say 'Hi' to my mom. After getting that done, I go to the dining room, called my mother, and ate dinner. It's odd though, that I still need to start a conversation for people to talk to me and it's starting to get on my nerves. I really need to have some answers about what is happening to me.

I got that thought out of the way and vigorously munched down on my food. Surprised, I was full after barely eating much. That was unexpected, and for sure, I do eat a lot. Still, I always feel like I'm losing some of my energy for every minute that has passed.

Without further adieu, I stood up, thanked my mother for the food, brushed my teeth and went to bed. It's surprising how after I ate I felt tired almost immediately. Weird. After turning off the lights in my room, I slammed onto my bed face first.

But when I closed my eyes, words appeared once again:
