"Aww! My little girl is growing up!" I turned around and my mom pulled me into a big bear hug. "Mom, let go!" I yelped. It was my first day of school at Twin Branches. "Now if you have a problem with your 'special powers' call me," whispered my mom. Ever since I was a baby I had the ability to read minds. I was adopted so my parents don't know where this power came from and they just think I am a little crazy. The only person I told besides my parents is my little brother Jake. He is in 6th grade but he is the only one who believes my powers are real. He was adopted too but, he doesn't know it yet.
I walked into the school and was immediately greeted by a perky brunette. "Hey, my name is Zoe! You new here right?" "Yah, I'm Lizzie." "Cool, is that short for Elizabeth?" "Yup." "Any questions before I go to class?" Just then the cutes boy in the world walked in the room. My heart skipped a beat. Everything was perfect for a moment until... " hey ben!" said a slim girl. My heart sank. I couldn't help but see what she was thinking. "Swim practice was intense today. Good thing Ben is here to comfort me!" He had a girlfriend. I felt like bursting into tears. "Uh... Hello? Lizzie?" Zoe was staring at me. I forgot she was there. I must have read her thoughts because she said "she was looking at Ben. Eep! Mabye she likes him!" On impulse I shouted "I do not like Ben!" Several people turned their heads to look at me. "Um... I better get to class." I didn't need mind reading powers to know she thinks I'm weird now. I just ran to class and hoped Ben didn't hear me.
