"New York! Why the hell do you wanna go to New York?!" Kevin stared at me as if I had grown another head and with my luck you'd never know.

"Its not like I can hang around here. You said it yourself, I can live in your room forever. Besides, all the weird stuff with mutants happened in New York." I stood up and stretched. Man, my back hurts! I really should learn to not pass out on wood floors.

"But New York? I mean, its not exactly a great place." I snorted in amusement and shook my head.

"This coming from the `Goth Boi` who goes up there nearly every week end to go to clubs?! Give me a break!" I turned and stomped down the hallway towards the kitchen. He skid to a stop out side the kitchen as I sat on the counter.

"If not New York where I can hopefully find others of `my kind`! Where?" I stared at my friend. Flustered and annoyed he glared at me.

"Haydin! People in New York are different! There mean! and its not like you can hide those-those things!"

"These-theses things? There horns Kev. and I can hide out in a big city that pays attention to nothing a lot easier than I can in this backwater town where half the people can tell you where I sneezed for the first time!" He snorted in amusement and I tightened my grip on the counter edge. I really shouldn't get angry...it seems to lead to bad things with me...

CrAcK! ...WHAM!

I screamed and fell to the floor as the tile under my hands exploded around me and into my palms. Blood poured from the gashes in my hands as I ran to the sink and stuck my hands under the cold water. Steam hissed out of the sink as it hit my hands. Right about now I'd like to say OUCHIES! The cuts soon stopped bleeding but I didn't try and touch anything. Heat radiated off my palms and scorched the paper towels I pressed to them.

Did I mention I hate my life yet?!

Kevin stared at me dumbstruck before running over and grabbing my hands. He let go with a hiss of pain, blisters already showing on his fingers.

"Do you think I should stay now?!" I glared up at Kevin from my place on the floor in front of the sink. He stared at me fingers on his right hand still in his mouth.

"Mot many ore... owwy" He half grinned and pulled his hand out of his mouth. I snorted trying not to smile... I was supposed to be angry remember?

"I guess I can always hide out at my fathers for a while..." I sighed the stinging in my hands had stopped but they still throbbed, the heat had seemed to stop but I didn't want to take any chances.

"D'you think your dad'll be ok with, well this?" he gestured towards my head and then my hands before sinking to the floor next to me.

"Hey, if I can learn to deal with him and his "special friend" Dave then he can learn to deal with me." I pushed my self up off the floor and offered my hand to Kev. He shook his head and stood only to sit on the counter. "How're you going to explain the counter to your folks?"

"Dunno I'll think of something I guess."He shrugged and then followed me upstairs as I grabbed my bag. "Leaving? Now? This early?!" I shrugged and pulled on my hoodie pulling the hood down to cover my new "accessories" and grabbed his sunglasses off his desk putting them on in turn.

"Nows as good a time as any. Besides everyone's at work they wont see me leave." I grabbed my backpack swinging it over one shoulder before beginning to go back downstairs. Kevin followed looking almost in shock. "Hey its not like I'm dropping off the face of the earth. You can call me at my dads and if I'm not there I'll call you, Don't worry." I grabbed the pen and paper near the hall phone and scribbled my dads number before running out the door.

I walked across town to the train station and bought a ticket with most of my money. The train arrived ten minutes later. I hid in a corner eating a doughnut until it arrived. It didn't help that people kept staring at me the entire time I was there. When the train arrived I got on and proceeded to pass out until we arrived.

Now where did my dad live again?
