MIMIC

By: Jessica F

Life for a teenager is difficult enough, but when you add something you can't control to the mix it makes for something that could cause a teenager to go crazy for a couple minutes. Life for Veronica was about to change. For the worst or the better is up to her.

"Hi, my name is Veronica Perou, and I'm seventeen years old. I go to a school which I think needs some work, but it's not really up to me. Today is the day that changed my life forever. Now since it happened I can look upon it with either dismay or hope. Dismay that my life is forever changed, and hope because I know if I go and do the right thing I will survive. I must have faith. But yeah I'll tell you what happened to me earlier this faithful day. You see today was the day my power came to me. Well, the rest is history.

FLASHBACK

"Baby, come on, or your going to be late for school," My mom, Alice, called up the steps.

"Give me a minute! God, what day is it… Fuck…Monday."

"I'm coming up there whether or not your descent. You technically only have ten minutes before you have to be at school," Alice called up the steps.

'Shit.' I sprang up off my bed, and ran over to my dresser. No need to take a shower because I took one yesterday. Other wise I would but I really don't have the time. I opened my closet and took out my favorite jeans that have a cool metal chain for a belt with an awesome charm hanging off it. I grabbed my halter top off a hanger and put it on. I grabbed my leather jacket and picked up my purse and ran to my car.

"Bye, sweetie. Have a nice day."

"You to mom. I really have to go. I'll see you later," I yelled as I ran out my door, and down the sidewalk. I grabbed my keys out off my purse and started up my silver car.

I sped out of the driveway, and down the road to school.

"Shoot, I forgot to put on my makeup. Oh, I wish I put it on…ugh now I'm gonna look like a freak."

I quickly parked my car, and ran out locking the doors and practically sprinted into the school. The last bell rang as I quickly walked into my homeroom.

"Veronica, you're late. Why are you late?" Mr. Healy said as I took my seat.

"I slept in, and had to speed to get here even relatively close. Don't piss me off today," I said as I lowered my sleep in an attempt to get some sleep.

"Nice makeup," Alexa said as she sat down next to me.

"Makeup?? I don't have any on. Didn't have the time this morning. I woke up ten minutes ago."

"Nice try. Here look." Alexa said as she handed me a compact mirror from her purse. "No makeup…my ass!"

I took the mirror from her best friend. She thought Alexa was just trying to make fun of her for not looking like my usual self. I glanced at the mirror, and gasped. I had all my make up on. I mean concealor, mascara, eye liner, eye shadow, blush, the works. I did wish I had put on some makeup. But I know I didn't. Oh my god, what was happening.

"Maybe I was so tired this morning that I put on makeup, and didn't even realize it. Wow, I spaced," I tried to explain to Alexa. But she was giving me a strange look.

"Follow me. I have to talk to you in privet. Follow me." Alexa said as she got up and headed into a supply storage area.

I followed her into the closet and shut the door until it was almost closed. I had to keep it open or we might be locked in.

"How come you never told me?" Alexa said in a harsh voice.

"Tell you what. I have never done anything to you ever that I would have to tell you. I just don't know what the fudge you're talking about. Please tell me."

"That you're a….mutant" Alexa said as she stared into my eyes.

"I-I'm not a mutant. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Anyways how would you even know. I mean it's not like you're a mutant or something, right?"

"Actually, I have the powers to read people's mind, and to like levitate things. I'm a telepath, and I have Telekinesis. You…you're the special one. From what I was able to read off you. You have the power to be able to, how do I put this, you're a transformer. You can mimic people's looks, and even there powers. You…You're a good mutant. You have powers beyond anything I can ever imagine. You're like a goddess!"

Me: Sorry it was so short….I promise more later. Can you please review for me, or I might not add another chapter. Thnkx!!
