"Boo!" a small, silver haired girl shouted, laughing when she saw her sister jump. "Haha, gotcha Mia," she yelled, still clutching her stomach.
"I already told you a thousand times, my name isn't Mia. It's Mary Anne. Now stop using your super powers you little freak," a tanned brunette replied, picking up her fallen mascara and continuing to apply it.
"I'm not a freak!" replied the smaller girl indignantly, and Mary Anne rolled her eyes.
"Can't you two get along?" a voice asked from the door, a fiery haired girl cocking an eyebrow at them.
"She started it!" they both yelled, glaring at each other.
"C'mon guys, I think we should stop," a deeper, much manlier voice replied.
"Ugh, you always agree with your twin. Lily is a freak for embracing her powers, I'm beautiful because I am, Rachelle needs some skirts because she has none, and you need to get a more serious outlook on life," Mary Anne snorted, placing the makeup down and proceeding to brush her tangle free hair.
"I personally like Bia, he's funny," Lily said, pointing to her older brother. "I mean, he got the funny genes while Ria got the sarcastic genes. Pretty cool how the twins are so much alike, huh?"
"His name isn't Bia! It's Brian!" Mary Anne shouted, bringing tears to Lily's eyes. She ran off, causing Mary Anne to sigh. "I hate guilt; it makes me look less beautiful. I'll go apologize, no need to say anything."
Perhaps we should rewind to two years ago, back when two comets came hurtling at the Earth. One hit Go City, the other hit the sleepy town of Moray. While the Team Go comet was green, blue, purple, and red, the one that hit Moray was yellow, orange, brown, and silver. It hit the home of four teenagers, destroying everything that wasn't alive.
It also gave the four teens superpowers.
Mary Anne, beauty incarnated, had the ability to go through solid objects.
Brian, goofy goober extraordinaire, was given the gift of telekinesis.
Sharp tongued, sarcastic Rachelle was given power over fire, or pyrokinesis.
And then little Lily was given invisibility.
Only Lily embraced her powers, the others considering them more of a burden than a gift. But Lily loved how they made her unique, how they made her special, how they… defied everything that she had been taught as a kid.
Returning to the present, Mary Anne rolled her eyes at her sibling. "I'm sorry," she said, sounding as genuine as a snotty nosed girly girl could. Lily looked into her sister's chocolate brown eyes, her own silver ones still leaking tears.
"Whatever. I have to go to school. Just let me get my textbooks…" she replied, standing up and brushing all moisture off her face. She ran off to her room, flopping onto the silver bed. A small black clock informed her she still had over an hour before she had to leave for the university.
Yeah, I said university.
You see, at the age of 12 Lily was a certified genius. She attended school at the nearest college, the University of Oklahoma. It was within walking distance, and also offered a great education. Sure, she was picked on, but she always wiped the smiles off their faces with some sort of show of intelligence.
Brian and Rachelle sighed, glancing at each other before parting to gather their own school items. Mary Anne skipped off to her room, deciding to change her outfit once more before leaving for school.
So basically it was like any other day.
