DISCLAIMER- (
I walked towards Ms. Shields' office, wondering what his was about. I wasn't really looking forward to it, after our last 'meeting'. I could feel the butterflies slowly enter my stomach with each step I took. I could see her office at the end of the hall, and I had this horrible feeling that whatever happens in that office, no good will come of it. I knocked softly and almost immediately Ms. Shields opened the door and ushered me in.
"Please, have a seat." She said, pointing to a seat in front of her desk. I sat down, surprised by her courteous manner. – What happened to her? Did something fall on her head? – I thought. I watched her fiddle and stall till I was ready to take her by the shoulders and shake her.
"Umm…why am I here?" I finally asked. She turned to me; seemingly surprised to see I could talk.
"Yes, I ah, brought you here to discuss the fight yesterday." I cringed inwardly. -How did she find out about that? – I thought.
"Ms. Shields, just to let you know, I wasn't participating in the fight, it was a couple of other-"
"Yes, I realize that. I know that you were not in the fight. But I heard that you were injured in this fight, but no trace of a bruise or scratches are on you." She interrupted. I shifted uneasily in my seat, her eyes boring into mine.
"Y-yes, I was hurt, but…uh." I stuttered. –What am I going to say!?- I thought frantically. Usually I was quick o my feet, but it just didn't seem to be the case now.
"I know, from a reliable source, that you were hurt quite terribly, and had to go home afterwards." She said slyly. I nodded, voice stuck in my throat. She stood up quickly, and started to pace around the room.
"But no trace of your injuries. That's strange…isn't it, Ms. Stuart?" She continued. I shifted, praying to everything that was holy that she wouldn't find out.
I jumped, as she was suddenly neat my ear, whispering "What happened, Ms. Stuart."
She strode quickly to her desk, and waited patiently for an answer. I felt like I was going to throw up, I was so nervous. My stomach was cramping into millions of knots.
She watched me like a cat that had caught a mouse and was toying with it before she killed it.
"I have learned, from my reliable resource, that you healed yourself, by just using your hands." She said softly. I let go of my breath, which I hadn't realized I was holding in.
She smiled and said, "I want you to know that you and I are the only ones, besides the people in the fight, that know of this. And I have an offer for you. I know some remarkable students, just like you, that go to this school. Some were in the fight you saw. I have faith that you will consider my offer that I am about to give you. I am part of a group of 'special' students, which provides knowledge on how to use and control your powers. I am offering you a chance to be part of this group. Will you join us?" I stared at her after this little speech. –What in the world is this woman rambling about? – I thought, shocked. She stared at me, waiting for an answer. I stared back, shocked beyond belief. –Say something, stupid! – I thought
"Oh! Umm… this is a major decision, and…um…I need more time to think about this." I ended, confused by all of this info shoved in my face at once. She nodded and gestured towards the door.
"Of course. Please come back and tell me your answer as soon as you decide." She said calmly. I walked in a daze out of the door, my stomach slowly un-cramping. I heard the door shut behind me, and I sighed, my head hurting. –This is turning out to be one of the most confusing days of my life! – I thought miserably. I walked slowly back to the lunch tables, thinking over everything she said.
