"Stupid Science Class!" Riley shouted as she and her best friend Hank walked out of the classroom. "The only reason I'm failing it is because the teacher is so boring!" Hank had to laugh at his friends out bursts. She was definitely one of a kind.

            "Yeah well did you really expect to pass the class while you snooze?" Hank asked as the hall filled with students seeping out from their classes.

            "Well I was hoping you'd at least help me by waking me up before he has too," Riley retorted.  Hank just shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah well anyway death to school in my option," Riley muttered. "Unlike some people I just find this a waste of my time."

            "Riley Cooper report to the checkout desk," A voice droned out from one of the speakers set out around the school. Hank gave her a funny look.

            "You didn't tell me you were checking out," He said.

            "I didn't know," Riley answered with a shrug. She followed Hank down the steeps. "Alright well see you later. We're still on for the football game this afternoon right?"

            "Yeah, see ya!" Hank shouted as the stream of people carried him down the hall.

            Riley walked down the hall of her school to the check in check out desk and saw a tall man standing there. His hair was dark and he looked oddly familiar. Riley stopped a few meters away and looked at the man's profile. Finally it hit her.

            "Numair!" She shouted shocked. "What are you doing here!?" The tall man turned and smiled when Riley ran up to greet him.

            "Well I need your help with something, your Dad's been wanting me to…" He trailed off and looked over at the lady who worked at the desk. "I'll explain more in the car."

            "Ok," Riley replied eagerly as she followed Numair out of the school building. She lungs welcomed the fresh air and her skin felt like it was glowing in the sun.

            "Your Dad contacted me telling me that some erm….odd things have been happening around you," Numair said as they both got into the car.

            "Well yeah I guess, I mean nobody at school can do them," Riley said looking down. Not that she didn't want her father's friend to know about the weird things but she was scared. Scared of what she was doing accidentally.

            "You want to talk about it?" He inquired as she turned the car on. He let it run for a few second while he waited for Riley's answer. She grinned.

            "Only if you won't go all book-talk on me, you know I can't understand half the stuff your saying."

            "Promise," Numair said as she laughed and put the car in drive.

            "Well I donno just weird things have been happening. Like I woke up the other night with my bedside table floating in mid-air and another night I got really mad at the TV and I began to glow green and then the TV kind-a blew up." Riley wrinkled her nose as she remembered the event. She watched as things flew past the window. "By the way where are we going?"

            "Some place where I can help you…understand what's going on," Numair answered. A few minutes later Riley found herself standing in a open field with her back-pack on one shoulder and watching Numair drawing some circle on the ground. Then he began to mutter something that to Riley sounded like gibberish. When he had completed the circle Numair looked at Riley and smiled.

            "Come here," He said. As Riley warily walked into the circle Numair began talking again. "Now what's going to happen is well…not normal. You see…"

            "Whatever it is can't be worse than my science teacher, who's older than you by the way, trying to act like he's fifteen. Now that's not normal," Riley said interrupting him. Numair gave a small smile. He said four words that Riley had no idea what they meant and the world went black.
