Chapter 2 Chandra's Book
I woke up the next morning to go to work, and I didn't even think about the dreams I had had the night before. At least, not until much later…
I was re-shelving books, using my telekinesis when nobody was looking (I had to look up the technical term for it online. I could've asked Alex and she probably would've known, but I didn't want to give her any more reason to think something was going on.), when I overheard two of the other librarians talking about something on the other side of the bookshelf:
"…and there was no name or anything?" said one of them, a woman.
"Nothing," said the other voice, a young man's.
I paused, listening intently.
"This is very strange," said the woman, "And we even had a copy of this book, you say?"
"Yes, I checked the minute I saw it in the book drop:Activating Evolution, by Chandra Suresh."
"Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see if somebody claims it," said the woman, "Set it behind the front desk for now."
"Will do," said the man, and they walked away.
I thought about it for a minute, then I thought; maybe that was the book that the kid with the soccer ball was trying to show me in my dream. The more I thought about it, the more sense it seemed to make. Normally, I would have dismissed the whole thing as a coincidence, but finding out that I had super powers acted on me like Dirigible Plums. (They're little radish-looking things that Luna Lovegood sometimes wears in her ears; they supposedly "enhance the ability to accept the extraordinary.")
I resolved to get that book, whatever it took. I found out later that I really didn't need to have that resolve, since it was surprisingly easy to get the book. I just pulled it out from behind the desk with my telekinesis. When nobody was looking, of course.
When I got home that evening, I skimmed through the book, but I didn't see anything special about it. I mean, I checked the library catalog myself, and we did already have a copy of this book, so I didn't see why I thought it was so important for me to have this copy of the book, or why anyone would leave it in the book drop for me, since I'm almost sure that's what happened.
This doesn't make any sense, I thought. Why does having super powers always have to be so difficult?
And that's when I saw the note.
There was a note inside the front cover, under the dust jacket. Once I saw it, I knew I had done the right thing by taking the book. I pulled it out, hoping for an explanation of some sort, or better yet, a name….
And there was an address written on it, for an apartment building in New York. You cannot imagine my frustration at being deprived of the answers I so desperately needed.
There was no name, so I had no idea whose address this was. I felt like throwing it out, just to spite whoever it was that left it for me. I held on to it though. My curiosity got the better of me, like it always does. I did check my room, though, just to make sure that Alex hadn't left a Dirigible Plum in there.

You people are really not helping my creative spirit by not reviewing. It's not like it's all that hard either. All you have to do is push a button and write what you want to say about the fic. IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT, PEOPLE!!!!! I know the chapters aren't very good at the moment, but I'm working on it. Just push the button!!!!!!!
