I lay awake in bed. I was trying desperately to convince myself that yesterday was a dream. It had to be, but then again, it just couldn’t be.
At breakfast, Grace and Grant acted as if nothing was different. I soon saw why.
Jake was in the room, he was six so he was the most protected. If I freaked out when reminded of yesterday’s “incident”, I might use my new power by accident and hurt Jake.
I took a deep breath, making sure I was under control. Then I spoke.
“It’s okay, I won’t hurt Jake, if you tell me.”
“Tell her,” Jake squealed, “I’m a superhero!”
“You’re not, Jaky, but that doesn’t matter,” Grant laughed, “Jess, you do have Electricity, and you’re going to school with us right after breakfast.”
I was too surprised to speak.
“No, not school,” wailed Jake slopping his cereal on the table, “I don’t want to be alone.”
Grace gave him a hug, while cleaning up his mess.
“Jess, go and get you most prized possession, you won’t need anything else,” ordered Grant.
I ran up the metal stairs. I had to go three stories before running down the hall to my room. On the way I did some thinking. I had a power, Electricity. I was going to JAP. Soon I would be learning how to fight like my older siblings.
I burst into my room, started digging around, looking at thing like old CDs and trophies from gym (I had got them from running the mile faster than anyone in my class, I had always been fast for my age now I realized that it was because I had Electricity) but none of them seem to be my most prized possession.
This was the last time I would be in here until next summer.
