hey guys! I'm back with chapter 2! be sure to check out my other stories, Astrid's Discovery, and The Temple Twins! :)

Caine's POV

I stumbled into the room Drake and I shared. Just as I thought, Drake was sitting there on his bed, doing who knows what. He looked over to me and smiled that shark like grin that creeped everyone, besides Diana and I, out.

"Skipping class I see?" he asked.

"No, Drake, I don't skip class like you. I got excused from all my classes for the rest of the day because of that fight". I replied.

He smirked, "Don't assume things right away Fearless Leader, I'm not skipping class. That fight got me 'suspended' for the rest of the day. Let's just say I wanted the kid to remember not to mess with us".

I tried not to think of what Drake did to that kid. Come to think of it, I don't even remember why we got in a fight with him. I think he started to pick the fight, but it doesn't matter anymore. It's all over now and he learned his lesson.

"Diana is coming over today". It just came out like that.

Drake growled, "Ugh, what time?"

"She'll be here at five." I tried to hide the look of disgust that appeared on Drake's face when I mentioned Diana.

I don't know what went wrong between the two, I could never get it out of either of them because they would never talk about it.

"Why is she even coming here?", Drake asked, "what, is it like some lover thing?"

I was laying on my bed when he said that. My bed is across from Drake's, so when he said that I turned a bright shade of pink and turned around to face the wall so Drake wouldn't see me.

"No, Drake, we're just going to get down to business. Nothing romantic. Strictly business." I said.

Drake pretended not to hear that and started to make obnoxious kissing noises.

"Smoochy smoochy! Caine and Diana sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Drake started to sing.

"Oh shut up" I said.

Drake just continued, but in a more quiet manner, so I let him continue.

Drake was like my best friend and my worst enemy. We were both very powerful people, so we got along easily. However, we both knew that when the time comes, he will try to overthrow me, but I know that I will win. I can feel it. Neither of us really thinks about it though. We shared a lot of secrets, ones we tease each other about constantly. I never even told him about my feelings for Diana, he just knew. I guess I made it too obvious. There are things we never mention though, like Drake's problems and family life. My family usually isn't discussed either, but sometimes he brings it up and we get into arguments.

"So .. what should I do while that witch is here?" Drake asked.

I cringed when he called Diana a witch, but kept the comeback to myself, "Go terrorize some kid or something, I don't know" I told him.

Drake smiled that sardonic smile of his, "With pleasure".

2 hours later

Drake left our room ten minutes ago to find some kid he could terrorize until Diana left. Now someones knocking at the door and I can tell its Diana. I went to the door and opened it. Diana came strolling in, looking around.

"Well I got to hand it to ya Fearless Leader, you sure keep this place neat and tidy, especially with Drake in here" she said.

"Thanks, now would you stop calling me that? You know how much it annoys me" I told her.

"Yeah, yeah, we'll see", she winked, "Now, lets look at these powers."

"Fine" I said, knowing I lost the argument.

I focused on a book on my desk and I picked it up. With my mind. God this is cool.

"Caine!" Diana started to call, "Caine! Caine!"

That made me lose my focus. I dropped the books.

"What?" I mistakenly snapped.

Diana didn't mind.

"Look at your hands when you do that. Its like..it's like your power comes from your hands!" Diana exclaimed.

Once again, I focused on the book. But this time, I pointed my hands directly at it. I flicked my wrist up and it went soaring till it hit the ceiling. I tried again. I flicked my wrist down and it flew to the ground. When I flicked my wrists to the side the book went flying to either side. And all this happened in under a second, each flick made the book fly and soar to their destination in less than a second. Now I wanted to try something else. I didn't want to lose control of the object once it hit the wall, ceiling, or floor, so i tried putting my hand in a fist right at the time of collision, and it was as if I was holding it with an invisible hand. This will be very useful.

Diana interrupted me.

"Do you think weight will have an impact on your power?" she asked.

"i don't know..maybe." I replied.

"Try your chair." she said.

"Ok.." I replied.

Once again, I did the same thing as I did with the book. It was just as easy, maybe a bit slower if anything. I was careful not to slam it on any surfaces like the book, I didn't want anyone catching us.

"Diana..what's my power level again?" I asked.

"Four bars" she replied.

I smiled. Four bars of power. Surely, this must be strong.

"The thing is Caine, when I read you, four bars was a huge amount. Almost as if it's really rare, and shouldn't be taken for granted." she said.

Well, I was right. I am very powerful.

"Have you tried reading anyone else?" I asked her.

"I..I read Taylor." she replied.

"And?" I asked impatiently.

"She's..she's a three bar." Diana replied.

"I guess that means she must be powerful. Any idea what her power may be?" I asked.

Diana shook her head, "No idea on the power, but yeah she would be pretty powerful if four is the highest.".

I plopped down on my bed, starting to think about everything that happened today. Diana joined me.

"So..what happened at the nurses' office?" Diana asked.

"It was..it was weird, you know?" I said.

We sat for a while in silence.

"Diana..? Remember how I said I felt like I was adopted?" I asked her.

"Yeah? Did you find out the truth?" she asked.

"Well...ugh, ok this is long and all but I have to get this out and I don't trust Drake enough with this subject."

Diana nodded. We shared a lot of family problems and had a lot of heart to hearts since coming to Coates.

I continued. "Ok, so lately, I don't know, I've been like feeling this, almost link like feeling inside my head, sort of like telepathy. It's like I can feel someone's whose not me's emotions, and sometimes hear their thoughts. But I have no idea who it could be. And it could just be my mind playing tricks on me, not telepathy or anything." I looked over to Diana, who was nodding, but looked deep in thought.

"And today...I'm pretty confident I was adopted. The thing is..I think I found my birth mom" I told her.

Diana smiled and did something that surprised me - she hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"What was that for?" I asked with a huge smile on my face.

"Congratulations Caine" she said.

"Thanks..but I'm not totally sure about her yet" I said.

"Wait..who do you think it is?" she asked.

"Wel..don't laugh..but I'm pretty sure it's...Nurse Temple" I looked down at my hands right after I said that.

Diana looked awestruck and confused.

"Why would Nurse Temple be your birth mom?" she asked.

"Well like when I was in her office with the icepacks and stuff, I could see she was observing all my features closely. I also realized that I have the same hair, eyes, and even nose as her. I mean that would have to be a pretty huge coincidence if I'm wrong. And..when I first told her my name she gasped and I heard her mutter 'it can't be' and I don't know it just all seemed to come together...all I want to know is why" it all came out. Everything on my mind.

Diana nodded.

"And she noticed something no one has ever seen before. She noticed the color of my eyes." I said.

"Aren't they like dark gray or brown or black or something?" Diana asked.

"No." I replied.

"Wait, so what color are they?" she asked.

"Blue."
