********************************************************************************

Ivie awoke from her nightmare with a start and glanced at the clock on her bedside table! It was time to get ready for school anyway. She slid out of bed and opened her curtains...raining still! Ivie, her father, and her 9-year-old sister had just moved to a new city. Today was going to be the first day of at a new school. Ivie was extremely nervous. Unlike her little sister, Julia, she did not make friends easily! That was probably due to the fact that Ivie had to be aware of her every single move. A flick of her wrist could cause a flood. Ivie was not a normal girl. When she was little, she was a victim of a terrible accident, which left her in a hospital for about three months. While she was there, she was so upset about all the other children's suffering that she prayed to the gods to take it away and place it on her. Her honest heart had rewarded her and she was able to unleash an inner magic. Her specialty was water and she had become extremely talented. When she clicked her fingers, it rained, and when she clapped her hands rivers stopped flowing. She had always seemed to have a special bond with water. Though she looked completely normal, there were a few signs of her magic. When she preformed a spell, her green eyes would change colour to a deep sea-blue colour. That was her favourite feature about herself, her eyes. They were so unusual and mysterious, completely different for everyone else's.
"Ivie, get a move on or we'll be late," yelled Julia who was not as anxious. Ivie smiled, still looking out the window. She waved her arms and the rain subsided.
"Coming," said Ivie as her eyes changed back to green. She started getting dressed!

Yolei, TK and Cody walked to school together in high spirits as the rain had suddenly come to a stop. Also, they planned to go to the digiworld at the end of the day with Davis and Kari, the other two digidestined. They said their good byes for now and headed off their separate ways to their classrooms. TK smile widened when he saw Kari sitting in the classroom waiting for him.
"Hey Kari," said TK and he came to a stop in front of her desk.
"Hiya TK, I cant wait to go to you know this afternoon. I bought Gatomon a special treat from the mall yesterday." TK smiled then glanced toward the door at a girl he had never seen before who had just entered. She was not exactly what you would call pretty, but her large green eyes were almost hypnotising.
"Who's that?" asked TK in a low voice and nodded his head towards the girl.
"New Girl." Said Kari in a-matter-of-fact voice. She leaned closer to TK, "The rumour is she became too weird at her old school that her whole family packed up and left."
"Huh?" asked TK looking surprised; it wasn't like Kari to repeat rumours, but lately.... TK thought that she was hanging around Davis too much!
A familiar boy rushed into the room, almost knocking over Ivie. He skidded to a stop beside Kari.
"Hi Kari," said Davis, as he stopped to catch his breath. Kari leaned back as if she had not said anything at all, yet she and TK still stared at the new girl.
"What are you looking at?" asked Davis in a loud voice turning to see the new girl. She was looking very nervous, and her green eyes darted around the room, taking in as much information as possible. She was considering asking someone where she was to sit, when she heard someone say.
"Yeah, I heard that she was expelled 'cos she flooded a classroom with the garden hose."
Ivie went red with anger. That whole classroom thing had been an accident, one, which proved fatal to her reputation. That was a bad day from the start. Her test results proved to be her worst yet, her best friend decided that she was "no longer fun," her teacher had humiliated her in front of the class. The final straw was when five boys in her class had laughed and called her "a scaly reptile" that was the exact point where Ivie lost it! She let out a yell as the sprinklers mysteriously turned on, drenching the entire classroom. The teacher had been absent at the time, so by the time she returned, the sprinklers had stopped. So who copped the blame? The girl with the green eyes who was in tears! Ivie had been said to use the gardener's hose to flood the classroom. No one bothered to tell the teacher the real story, and most of those who witnessed it, were too afraid to say anything anyway. They saw it as pure luck when she got expelled. No one bothered to bid her family farewell on the day they left and Ivie knew of all the wild rumours spreading about her. These rumours were very hurtful, not because they were cruel, but because they were mostly true. Coming to this new town was meant to be a whole new start, but somehow they had found out.

Ivie frowned at the boy who had goggles around his neck. He was talking to a girl with short brown hair and what seemed to be a digital camera around her neck. Next to her stood a blonde boy wearing a white hat.
"Davis, shh...she'll hear you," scolded the brown haired girl.
"Yeah," said the blond haired boy and he elbowed the other boy 'Davis' in the ribs. "That's mean. I remember when I first started She's got it tough." TK gave the girl a sympathetic smile and looked at her in wonder. She had the prettiest eyes TK had ever seen. They were a sparkley-green, not exactly dark coloured, but not light either. They shone brightly and looked as though they held the secrets of the universe. TK found himself warming to her.
"Ohh, TK likes the new girl," Davis sang loudly into his ear, which made TK jump guiltily. He went a dark red, and Kari giggled.
"Hey, what's going on? What's Kari laughing about?" asked another student who had just arrived. Ivie was listening carefully and was still a little edgy that they were all talking about her. She had noticed that the blond boy 'TK' was smiling at her, but she was too nervous to return it.
"TK's got a crush on the new girl," joked Kari.
"He is as weird as she is," butted in Davis before TK could defend himself. "I mean look at her. Who in their right mind would wear a long sleaved shirt on a day like this?" When the rain had stopped, the sun came out from behind the clouds making it an extremely hot day. Ivie was wearing a long sleaved shirt and long pants. Ivie was mad! She knew she disliked both the boy "Davis" and the girl "Kari." The blond boy seemed nice enough except he had a weird name, "T-K" or something, and also he was with Kari and Davis.
Davis once again raised his voice so all the class could hear. "Yeah, Ivie, is that her name? She is one scary girl. She belongs in a freak show." He looked at her smugly, wait for her reaction. She glared at him angrily, TK and Kari watched on carefully. Ivie felt the power at her fingertips. TK gasped as he saw Ivies beautiful green eyes glowed then change colour to blue. He kept watching as a shiver of danger ran through him.
