Daniel X

I was sitting around, bored out of my mind with nothing to do, two hours ago. Now, I'm not so bored.

It all started with eavesdropping on the local school's marching band practice. They weren't great but I could stand hearing the Star Wars theme a few times as I lurked underneath the bleachers.

I was looking around and I saw a girl with flute standing over by the water fountain. My eyes then wandered to see a very tall and muscular guy walking over with an odd grin on his face.

The girl didn't notice him since she was drinking and I saw the guy sneak up behind her and wrap his hands around her neck. She had started kicking him and tried to whack him with her delicate little flute. I was about to intervene when I had heard vibrations start to hum in the air.

She then had a bat in her hands and she swung a hard blow to the guy's head. He was on the ground in seconds and she looked around and she spotted me.

I knew I should've tried to run but she didn't look like she was a danger to anyone.

She had long brown hair and light blue green eyes with just barely tanned skin. She walked over to me and stood right in front of me. We were silent as we stared at each other for a few seconds.

She then said, "Nadia."

She extended her left hand, which I noticed had a thin and almost gauzy black, silver and white glove on it, and I shook it.

"Daniel." I replied.

I quickly noticed that the hand that was holding her flute- turned- bat was bare but I saw a similar glove poking out of her black jacket's pocket.

"You're like me, aren't you?" She asked but it was odd since she said it almost like a statement.

"Why would you think that?"

"A high school age guy hanging around a high school with no one else around about to intervene on an attempted beating. Definitely normal."

"How did you that?" I had asked.

She responded simply. "Atoms are pretty easy to rearrange if you know how." She then whispered into my ear. "Good luck. I hear that there are aliens around this town. I think I see one now. Don't you, Daniel?"

I felt her lips against my cheek as she smirked and ran into an alley that held the dumpsters of the school. I followed her, wanting an answer as to how she knew I wasn't a human, but I found a pile of gravel and discolored red and gray bricks on the wall instead.

Now I'm definitely not bored.
