Sorry that I didn't get back until now. I was working on my other story, The Choice (check it out) and I had a lot of homework. Now that there's this big snowstorm I have time to work on my other stories. Enjoy.
Two days after the survey, I was called into the nurse's office. They took some x-rays, checked my blood pressure and heart rate and all that stuff. That afternoon. They call me in to the nurse's office again. By that time everyone was staring at me.
It was the head nurse, Mrs. Tiddles, who told me the news.
"Evergreen. There's something wrong with your brain." Mrs. Tiddles said slowly.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"You're a bit different from everyone else."
"Spill it!" I growled impatiently.
"You will never have a power." She said sympathetically. "Something's wrong with your body. You will never develop a power, ever."
"Never?!" I was shocked. Was this a mistake? I hope it's a mistake. "Has this ever happened before?"
"Not that I have heard of." Nurse Tiddles said, but I could tell she's keeping something from me. "You should keep this a secret. I don't think people would like it that you have no powers."
"Okay." She gave me a hall pass and sent me back to class.
"What's wrong?" Sky asked me.
"Are you sick?" Jewels asked.
"No. I'm fine." I lied, guilt pounding in my chest. "I'm just a late developer of my powers."
"Oh, okay." They turned their attention back to the teacher, but I couldn't consentrate. Even if I say I'm a late developer, they'd find out sooner or later. What would they do then? No, I can't tell them. They'll hate me. Think that I'm weird and ditch me. It's best to just keep it secret.
