Chapter One: Olivia loves S.O.N.S.
Olivia Vertigo sat alone on the grounds. It was the first day at a new week at Bloor's Academy and Olivia was not looking forward to it at all. This morning her hair was an icy blue. She closed her eyes and it turned pink. She had never told anyone of this endowment, not even the Bloors.
Olivia also had another endowment, just one other, she was able to make people see who she was. That was probably why she was so gifted in acting. Olivia thought bitterly. What was the point in having powers if you couldn't tell anyone you had them.
A purple bus pulled up to the school building and Olivia stood up. Her friends would be here any moment. "Hey Liv!" A girl with green hair walked up the sidewalk to where Olivia stood with a fake smile plastered to her face.
"Hello Jen." Olivia smiled at her friend's outrageous black boots. "Where'd you get those shoes?" Olivia asked with interest.
"They're my mum's. By the way, say you in the theaters this weekend, brilliant! I wish I could act like you." Jen said enviously. "Oh yeah," Jen added in a whisper as they approached the main building, "Have you seen the new guy?" Jen smiled and skipped down the halls.
Olivia had not seen the guy. I wonder if he's in drama. Olivia questioned herself. Her question was answered when a few moments later a tall guy with brown hair bumped into her. He looked perfectly normal except for his purple cape that hung over his tall 5' 11'' frame.
"Hey. Do you know where the drama cloak room is?" He looked right into Olivia's pure green eyes.
Olivia nodded, looking right back into his blue ones. "This way." She said. The boy followed her under the archway beneath two masks, a smiling one and a frowning one.
"Thanks. I'm Steven. I'm new here."
"I'm Olivia. Would you like me to show you around?"
"Yes." The boy smiled revealing the cutest smile ever even with braces. Olivia nearly melted.
"May I see your schedule?" Olivia said.
Steven dug around in his school satchel and pulled out a freshly typed paper with his name on it.
"Steven Breen: Endowed." It read.
"You have first period, Ms. Rhymes. She teaches the art of acting in groups. Her class is the best." Olivia smiled and Steven followed her out of the cloak room and down the hall to a crude wooden door.
"Here we are." Olivia opened the door on a large group of students practicing. Jen smiled at Olivia as she walked by.
Ms. Rhymes walked in a few moments later. "Settle down. I hear we have a newcomer in our midst. Let us welcome Mr. Breen. Mr. Breen, I would like you to partner with Olivia for this project."
Steven took a seat next to Olivia. "I have already given you plays to work on, now hop to it."
Olivia put her put her pen down and looked at her hand. It read: I love S.O.N.S.
