First Day of School

Today is my first day of the 4400 school. I chose all regular core classes and art, so I could have free periods to do whatever. Everyone has to take the class to learn to control their ability, which was good for me, so I could watch what the other kids were doing that I could try during my freetime.

When I went to art class I noticed that Maia's in the class! I was so relieved I had a friend in my class. One of my free peroids was at the same time as her recess, so we caught up on whats been happening with each other. She was adopted Diana Skouris from NTAC. I would never of thought a NTAC agent would send their kid to a 4400 chool. But later I relilized NTAC isn't against 4400s but their trying to help.

At the end of the day while walking back tyo my room I saw one of the kids form my History class, Eric, bullying another kid From what I learned on the street I went to help the younger kid(best wway to make a lot of friends easily). I knew I shouldn't use my power cause we were in the open but if I had to I would. Eric's power was a super strength type power and he was also stronger mentaly because he's been at the school for a lot longer than me or the younger kid. I walked over and told him to quit picking on the little kid. Of course that didn't stop it. Instead, he said"Or what?".

I didn't know what to say back but when he called me a wimp I got mad. The next thing I knew his foot was on fire. Right there I new I was in huge trouble. He started freking out, jumping around trying to put it out. I started to laugh along with the little kid. Then, when Eric got the fire out he came at me punching, kicking, and yelling. but when he went to went to punch me I superfroze my hand as hard as I could and blocked his punch. It still hurt a ton but at least he didn't smash my face in. As he came at me again I somehow made a wall of fire which made him back up.

Then out of no where a bunch of the center's security police came to stop the fight. They had 6 guys holding Eric back from coming at me. My hand felt like an elephant had stepped on it, and his leg was red from the fire.

The three of us were taken to a room and Eric & the little boy, Robbie's, parents were called in so they could figure out what happened. Robbie & my story were the same but Eric's was a little different. He claimed that they were just talking and I came out of nowhere and "torched him" him. Luckily no one believed him and I got off with a warning for fighting back and Shawn wouldn't heal my hand as a bonus.

By the time I got downstairs to the clinic my hand was purple. Turned out Eric fractured my hand in 5 places. However, I gave Eric 1st & 2nd degree burns on his leg, which made me feel better. Also, Eric had a week in In School Detintion.

After I left the clinic I was back to walking to my room and on my way I passed Maia who was waiting to be picked up. I had nothing better to do so I waited with her. As we talked about the fight, I realized that she already knew the fight was going to happen, but wanted to see Eric get burned. Ten minutes later her babysitter came to pick her up. I asked if Maia could come over to my apartment after school to play some video games and go to the pool. I gave them my phone number and told her she can come over anytime.

When I got back to my apartment I started to watch the news to see what was going on in the world. Right then I reconized the woman on TV. It was my friend Jenn and her brother. Their band was getting famous and I missed all of it. I was strating to get angry agian so I tried to compartmentalize it and it worked. Finally, I have started to learn to control my power, and, now that people know about my power I can learn new and more powerful things...
