This chapter 0 is very short, I know. But it's just kind of an add on to the prologue but thought it appropriate to have it in a separate section. That's why it is named Chapter '0'.

Chapter 0

There it was, a huge black lump against the crimson red sunrise. I realized that this was a bad idea already, meeting new people, new teachers, new everything. There was a group of rabbling children stood in the reception hall attempting to remove themselves from path of the rain's inevitable journey to the ground. I was unable to get in so I had to stand in the cold, damp weather. The effect this had on my mental state for the day was surprisingly high, I barely spoke to anyone, which made no difference really because no one actually tried to start a conversation with me.

There seemed to be a lot of disorganized teachers rushing round trying to get things done, so everyone just sat in class and talked to their friends. Mine weren't there. We all went home when we thought the time was right... when the rain had stopped pouring. So, I begun the daily hike home, across about god knows how many main roads, and up a very large steep hill, it felt more like climbing and abseiling a mountain everyday more than a nice relaxing stroll before school.

You may think that I take a very pessimistic outlook on life, I have thought this a few times, but then I think, I really actually DO have an amazingly boring life. Nothing really ever happens it's just the same boring daily routine...Every single day...

I was hoping that something interesting would come of moving to a new school. But the first day was just as I had expected. Boring.

I was in such a deep state of thought while walking home I nearly got ran over multiple times but, thankfully, the drivers of the vehicles were paying attention.

I was thinking about where my friends where for the day, why hadn't they turned up to school on the first day? Maybe it's because it was such a dismal day, I wish I could just bunk off school when I didn't feel like going... That's strict parents for you.

So, I went home and carried on with my normal daily routine, eating my tea, brushing my teeth, you know, the general every day stuff.

Well, I climbed into bed that night, thinking nothing of the day at school and knowing that nothing interesting would ever happen in my life, knowing that now one had secret powers, no one was an alien, and it is impossible for any evil corporations to be plotting against the planet earth.

I went to bed that night knowing that everything was and always would be... Normal.
