Kat told me about everyone she saw. There was the most popular girl in school, Diana Wright, the School's "mute," Carol Thyme, and the biggest artist in the school, Jack Traeds. They all seemed different by standards of "special," but they were all just as special.
"Oh Jeez," I said. "How will we keep track of them? I mean, what if someone is after them too?"
"I've been thinking about that," Kat said. "What if we start a club for these kids? I mean, yeah, it would draw a lot of attention, but what if we did this to find out what's really special about them?"
It sounded like a good idea. I didn't know what I was going to do if these guys on my tail just attacked me, and I didn't have any help.
"Let's do it."
We had a new teacher that day. His name was Dr. Cross… considering he looked like an ancient swordsman who got scarred on the cheek in a fight… that's probably the only weird thing about him.
"Alright, What are the rules to starting a club?" Kat asked.
"We need a specified room for the members to meet in. we need at least three members not in the faculty and one supervisor from the faculty. And we need a good name to bring people's attention."
"I'll put the name and the team together; you get a sponsor and a room for us."
"Got it."
It was really easy to get a sponsor. Dr. Cross was like Kat, in that he could see "Special" people and their kids. When I told him about the club that Kat and I were forming, he agreed to sponsor it. He also talked to Principle North and got a language arts room for us. When Dr. Cross got a form for submitting the club's information, I helped fill it out to the best of my ability. But what we could not get was the third member, and the name of the club.
"The Ascension Society!" Kat yelled that as she came into the room. "Welcome friends and comrades to the first meeting of the Ascension Society!" behind her was Carol Thyme, who wouldn't stop messing with her brunette hair, particularly the blue highlight.
"I'm sorry Katherine…" Carol said. "But what is the 'Ascension Society?'"
"You and I have something in common that only Kat and Dr. Cross can see… so far," I explained. "Kat says that your 'special' isn't the same as mine, but mine comes from my dad, who disappeared in the nineteen eighties and returned to father me."
"Your dad is a time traveler!?"
"Yeah… and we're trying to figure out what's special about you and the others."
"Others?"
