Yawn.
Even though she went to bed early, Jessica was still sleep for she had an unusual afternoon. Her family was old, filled with people who her mother calls the 'endows'. They were special people with weird powers, separated in to the good side and the bad side. She was happy that she didn't have anything to do with those wacky people, until she had waked up to find her self surrounded with flowers. She has the ability to grow stuff. Although she had discovered her powers three years ago, she had just recently got a letter from Bloor's Academy. Her best friends, Fiona and Evangeline were also going, which was the only good thing.
Next to her house, Fiona was staring in to her hands. They were not there. Then they were. Then they were not again. That was her power, useless, in her opinion. The power of invisibility. Useful, perhaps, for her best friend Evangeline, for Evvy loves to eavesdrop on people then stare at them in a knowing way. Still, she was thrilled that she is accepted in to Bloor's Academy. Ever since her third cousin removed twice got the power of water, no one had been endowed. Her parents were often looking at her as if she was a great disappointment to them, a child of such old family unendowed. Now, she was able to prove to them that she is as good as any snooty old boy.
Across the street, Evangeline was wide awake. She looked around her wide room for this would be the last time she'll see her wonderful room for a whole week. She found herself wishing for a cup of juice, then slapped her forehead. How stupid had she been! She closed her eyes, and concentrated hard…making a small cup of apple juice fly in to her room and on to her hand. She had only gotten her powers a few weeks ago, and is still learning how to use this special telekinetic power. Her best friend Jessi had gotten her powers years ago, and now she can make anything grow smoothly under her command without any twists and knots.

Later at the King's Room:
Jessi glanced around the room nervously. How long did she have to stay with this unfriendly bunch? Sure, there were a couple of friendly people, and of course her two best friends were with her. But then, unfriendly wins majority. For example, sitting at her side of the table was Tancred, Lysander, Charlie, Evvy, Fi, Gabriel, Billy, a friendly bunch, while on her other side sat Manfred, Asa, Zelda, Emma, Dorcas, and Bindi. Gabriel, Emma, Dorcas and Bindi looked nice enough, but Manfred with his weird stare, Asa with his wolfish eyes, Zelda with her mean glare, Billy with his unnerving red eyes, Charlie with his messy super unfashionable hair and stormy Tancred is making her shake in her boots. Lysander was the only one who looked approachable.
Fi stared around the room. It was small and cozy, with a portrait of her ancestor the Red King. Around her sat a group full of endowed kids like her, except that some were…ah, kind of evil looking. For example, that Manfred with his dark eyes looks like he's going to skin her alive every time she asks a question. And then Zelda is always glaring at everyone. She could tell that Zelda is also telekinetic, like Evvy, except that Zelda is evil. After all, listening to one girl named Olivia; she is rumored to be Manfred's girlfriend. But then some other people were nice. Like Charlie, the boy with messy hair. He had said thank you after she picked up his pencil. Hey, that was the only nice thing anyone had said to her in the whole room! Manfred had made them all swear not to talk in the King's Room.
Evvy concentrated on her homework, finding it unusually interesting. Occasionally, she looks around the room, inspecting each person. On her right was the famous Charlie Bone, while on her left was an albino boy with unnerving red eyes named Billy Raven. Then, across her sat Zelda, who gave her a disapproving glance. To Zelda's left was Manfred, who glared at her, making her bow her head, not wanting to be hypnotized on her first day. Sigh. There is still four days nine hours 42 minutes and 4 seconds left until she could go home. She glanced at her friends, seeing that Fi was smiling cheerfully like Dorcas as she did her work, while Jessi kept on staring nervously at her feet as if they would fall off any seconds. At least there was one person who shared her feelings and wanted to go home.
