All my life was like I was stuck in some sort of shadow. Always there, just never noticed unless one actually pays attention. I maybe a shy girl but I still know what it feels like to have friends. My best friend, and sadly my only friend, is a guy named Joshua Burns. People walk by us and only notice Josh. I mean everyone would notice the most popular guy who is the star runner in track. Well I'm not really not noticed, but they never say anything. They just stare. Quite rude of you ask me.
Anyway, let me tell you about Josh.
Josh is a very energetic and kind soul. He has everyone liking him, except for kids. The kids all run away from him because of how tall and fast he is. Josh is very smart, he just never tries to do any of the work, making him a C+ student. He wears casual clothes, and has his dark hair long. He flirts with a couple girls, one being a girl i have never even heard of. That one is his main one he flirts with. He is very out there.
My adopted family always expected that his steadiness would rub off on me. Oh yeah we are total opposites. While he is athletic, tall. and loud. I am a klutz, short, and squeaky. My family hoped that being around him so much would make for a great change in who I am. Phil, my so called dad, wants me to just try and get out more so I can move out sooner. Susan, my so called mom just wants me to move in with Josh. They believe that once I move out they won't have to pretend that I am nothing more that a regular customer at my mom's bakery.
Nice family, right?
By the way that was sarcasm.
Susan is a good person, that is until you get on her bad side. She is a well known baker in the town. She got her own shop when she was only twenty-eight years old. The shop is called Susan's Sweets owned by the one and only, Susan Prez. She and Phil, her husband, couldn't have a baby themselves so they decided to adopt. Phil is not really a bad person to be around. Unless you want your ear to either fall off, or go deaf. He is a respected police officer. See I don't really hang out with Phil. In my opinion I don't like him. Don't ask why I just don't like him.
Both have dark brown hair. Sue has blue eyes, while Phil has hazel. So with me having blonde with natural light blue highlighted hair and chocolate brown eyes makes no sense. They would always say that I was their blood child when anyone asked, making me almost believe it if I hadn't known the truth. I'm their adopted daughter.
Why they don't even treat me as a child of their own, is beyond me. They act as though they were scared and terrified of me. I don't know why because I had a pretty normal childhood if you ask me. Unless they somehow had someone or something change my memories….it seems almost plausible. Almost because their is no such thing as magic or what not.
They told me that when they saw me in the crib with a dragon scaled like necklace they couldn't help but to want me. As the years went on though they began to change. They became fearful of me and they basically just tried to hide me from the other adults. The school didn't even know who I lived with. Other than Josh I am almost tempted to move out and never come back. Well actually everyone knows, but they never ask to see me or anything. If I have a school project with someone I would either do all the work, or vise versa. No one other than Josh comes over.
Tragic isn't it?
Deciding it's time to get ready for another day at school, I get up and get dressed. Normally I would wear my normal sweats, but last night Susan threw out all of my old clothes. I had to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. With Josh deciding to pay for everything, he didn't look at the clothes at all. Oh well. I can see his face when he sees me today.
I decided to buy leggings and get some nice T-shirts. I only got the single colors or ones with animals on the front. So grabbing a blue shirt and grey leggings then heading to the shower. I don't really take long showers, but I'll make today an exception. It's four in the morning. Hey don't judge! I couldn't sleep well. I never do, so I always go to bed around seven. If you asked me I would rather always be up super early rather than get up after the sun. I always loved being up when the moon and stars were up. It's always so calming and relaxing.
Getting out of the shower I took time to carefully pull the tags off. Looking at my shirt isn't blue, but a pink and purple. Sighing I shrugged and put on my converse….well Josh's old ones that he don't fit into anymore. Pulling my hair into a ponytail. Once it is up I noticed that it fell to my mid back. Time to get a haircut soon. Maybe. I like my hair long, just not down to my bum long.
I quietly walked out of the house as it was now five thirty. I grabbed a fruit from the bowl and ate it on the way. Getting to school is the best time of the day because I don't have to be alone anymore. Once I get home I am going to do something that will change my life forever.
What is the thing that is going to change my life forever? I personally don't care all that much for people because of how they treat others who seem lower than dirt with disrespect, though I have seen this girl who I have seen helping those people who need help. Her name is Lucy. Lucy Heart. And after school I am going to become friends with her. Hopefully. She has similar hair as me, so how hard can it be to find her?
"Hey Lucy!" I heard people call out making me look for said person. "Don't look around like you don't know who you are." I looked at the male and pointed to me. He nodded.
"I'm not Lucy. I'm Savannah." The guy looked at me for a moment before blushing.
"Sorry you just look a lot like my girlfriend." I knew he's lying about him being her boyfriend. I have that gift. I gave him a glare and he flinched. "Okay so she's not my girl, but you look a lot like her." Whenever I glare I can make people tell the truth. Part of that gift I mentioned earlier.
The boy standing in front of me was a blonde with brown eyes. He wasn't all that good looking, but above average. Eh.
"Who are you?" The boy looked hurt, but puffed his chest out and looked proud.
"My name is Benjamin, but call me Benny." I rolled my eyes and walked away. I can feel someone come up behind me, so I ran to the school.
I hate playboys. Josh. He's standing with a few other people, people who don't care if I'm around as long as I'm quiet.
Friendly people. am I right. Again sarcasm.
"Hey! Josh!" He turns around and stares shocked at me. He then looks away trying to act cool. I walked up to him and gave him the smile. My smiles are closed lips, but for him I just smirk.
I look and see people giving me flirty looks. They then make sphere of power, making me look wide eyed at them. One boy, a brunette, made a sphere of fire. Another made one of some kind of jell. And the last made a sphere of rock.
"What is that?" I asked Josh. Josh's eyes went wide and did his "I'm-trying-not-to-panic-" poses. This pose is where he leans against the walls and taps his foot around on the ground. "Joshua Hunter Burns!"
"Hey Savannah." He said nervously. "What's up?" At this point I gave up and walked away. I have classes anyway.
On my way to class I bumped into another girl. We looked at each other for a moment in complete quiet. That's when I heard a scream. Next thing I know is that I'm being hit by a car. Thing is I don't feel any pain, I felt like I was falling. I opened my eyes, even though it felt like an elephant was on each lid, and saw I was being watched by a pair of blue eyes.
