We all sat in the classroom, some of us were copying done what was being written on the board, others were chatting, my name is Erica Wells, only my friends call me Eri

In the row behind me (the back row) sat 4 people, on the far right hidden away in the corner sat that creep Joel Trevelyan

He was completely bold, he tried to hide that under a hat but we all knew that his head wasn't just shaved, apparently he didn't have a single hair on his body, like some kind of reptile, Most people called him J, but a few called him boldy for a while, we all watched as he beat them mercilessly

Next to Joel sat Angel Cameron, the bitch who told people what to do and they did it (especially the boys) her stunning good looks and her radiant smile could make boys swoon, and girls envy, people just called her Angel

I sat on the far right of the room, and to my left sat only one major force inside the beach strip the rest were nobodies, her name is Margaret McKinnon, but don't call her that, she will ask J to rip your head off, always call her Maggie

She turned her head and glared in my direction "fuck off you creep, get your dirty little thoughts about me out of your head" she snarled in a quiet voice

Maggie could read minds

Just as Angel could tell you to pay for her lunch by holding your hand, the same way that J could smell a mouse fart on the other side of the school, the same way I could tell your emotions by looking into your head

We were all mutants, Mutts as we called ourselves, some started developing during early puberty, and some are beginning to change now

Two new sisters arrived from New York a few weeks ago, the youngest was only ten, 2 weeks after she arrived she was spewing flames from her hands in her dorm, the teachers thought that she was playing with explosives

Her older sister is yet to develop an ability but I can see it coming, I can see her brain developing and changing, becoming stronger "evolving"

At that moment Chris stood up in front of the class, everyone fell silent, Chris was a leader, when he talked people listened, I don't know if its his good looks or his smile, or his attitude in general people just listened and followed, it didn't help that he also had an ability that could fry you alive if you didn't listen, he could shoot lightning from his hands

"Alright enough chatter folks, settle down, class is almost finish so cut the teacher some slack alright?" he said in a conversational tone, the fact was his voice was a thick as honey, he was almost as manipulative as angel and he didn't even have that power!

Everyone stopped moving, the classroom was deadly silent, the teacher stood up and walked to the front of the room holding a textbook

Chris winked in my direction and sat down, I was blushing; I have had a crush on him since we first met, and lately he has taken great interest into my abilities seeing them as an opportunity to find other mutts

Suddenly out of the blue the earth started shaking the windows rattled a siren filled the air! "OH GOD THE POWER PLANT!" I screamed we all knew what the siren meant; the power plant was going into meltdown

We dove under our desks and waited for instructions to be shouted over the speakers, we waited, and waited, then waited again, eventually the earthquake subsided, the sirens stopped, everything stopped, no sound, just silence

We were listening for our teacher's instructions, "so much waiting" I thought to myself, I stood and looked around to find Chris looking in the hallway

"Chris do you see teach?" I asked curiously

"Nah, so weird, one second I was looking at her feet, the next she was, like Poof"

"Poof?"

"Yeah she just disappeared, other kids are starting to look into the hallway"

"What is going on Chris, do you know anything?"

Maggie's expression dropped, we all looked at her "their are no adults in this building, 3 minutes ago the were everywhere now I can only sense kids!"

Chaos ensued

A/N: So that's the Beach Boarders, so next chapter I'll do the towns people, I just wanted to get this one out of the way, any suggestions for my story? PM me! oh and also OC's are now closed, I have a perfect amount of characters and if I add anymore I'll end up forgetting or messing up your character (which is bad + I think my head is gonna blow up from organizing all of these guys) thanks if you sent in a character i appreciate it

Also each chapter will be from a main characters perspective, I'm thinking of a number between 1-10 if you get it right you get to pick the 3 mutt mains and the 3 normal mains! I hope you all enjoyed the chapter as much as I did
