Have you ever had that moment where you wished you had superpowers?Like if you wanted to reach school on time you'd wish you had super speed or if someone was bullying you, you'd wish you have super strength to knock them out with a single punch, or in order to avoid traffic, you'd wish you could fly...Well, I've had those moments thousands of times. Right now for instance, I was wishing that I have an invisible cloak like the one Harry Potter had. I would throw it over me and walk away, escaping the evil look of my stepfather.One minute I'm here and POOF! I will disappear in front of him. He wouldn't know what happened. He'd probably think he was losing it.But those were just wishes that would never come through. So here I was standing in front of my stepfather, who has a pissed off expression on his face.I knew that expression so well that I instantly got scared. I knew he wouldn't hit me in a public place, but what if he would? What if he decided that he didn't care anymore? W

On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Knight asked to talk to me. I took my time walking down the long winding stairs. I didn't know what he wanted to talk to me about and I was dreading the conversation. Carson who was with me, sat on the couch beside me. We were facing his father who was sitting on the recliner. Mr. Knight gave me a regretful look and clasped his hands in front of him. "I don't think it's best for you to stay here any longer." I felt my world start to crumble when he said this. I wasn't expecting this at all. Carson spoke up. "Why?" Mr. Knight looked at me as he spoke. "I don't mind you staying here, but I have to be practical. What if your stepfather go to the police and demand you come back home? The authorities will come here, because you are still under eighteen. I can't take that kind of publicity." Mr. Knight did not know what used to happen at my house. He didn't know that my stepfather abuses me. He only knew that I was having some issues with my stepfather and I c

"Where's Kevin?" I asked Jasmine as I sat down with her in French class. Kevin had French with us, but I haven't seen him since morning. "He's not here. Today is the band club's trip, remember?" She asked."Oh yeah." I said, nodding my head. I had forgotten that Kevin and the rest of his band club mates were going on a trip today."So how's it going at Carson's house?" Jasmine asked as she take out her books and pen for class.I sigh. "It was going great, but yesterday Mr. Knight told me that I can't stay there any longer." I related.She frowned and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Why not?" She asked."He's afraid that my stepfather will file a report and the police would come down on him, tarnishing his reputation." I explained."Oh wow. I'm really sorry." She said, looking at me regretfully. She then turned towards me fully and look at me seriously. "So, aren't you going to report him to the police? They can do something about it. I'm sure they will." "I've thought about it

Kayla's POVSomeone was shaking me and whispering my name. I turned on my other side, trying to ignore the voice that was disturbing my sleep. However, the person kept shaking me and I groaned in frustration. What does a person have to do to get some sleep around here?Finally, the hands stop shaking me and I hear footsteps moving away from the bed. I was just slipping off into sleep again, when I heard a voice speak loudly. "Kayla, get your ass out of bed this minute or I won't hesitate to dunk you with water!" I heard my so-called best friend shout.I sprang up from the bed so fast, that I got tangled in the blanket around me. I turned around to my side to get loose and fell flat on the floor. I was in a mess of blanket, pillows and duvet.As my brain tried to focus, I heard a loud outburst of laughter. I tried to get up from the floor, while I glared at Jasmine. She was laughing so hard, that she was now wheezing.When I was on my two feet, I throw the pillows and blanket back on t

Carson's POVIt was six o'clock when I decided to call my training quits and head home. As soon as I left school, I have been here and I was training as hard as ever. This was my shot at the grand prize and I wasn't going to mess it up. Hell, I'm going to fight for it!I bid my friends goodbye as I got in my car and drive home. My father didn't want anything to do with me. Fine, I'm not going to force him. He doesn't want to fund my tuition into college. I'll find my own way. I'm not going to let anything or anyone get in the way of my dreams.I pulled up into the driveway of my house and get out of my car. I went inside the house and up the stairs to my room. I wanted to stop at Kayla's room, but decided to have a shower first. I don't know why, but I don't feel complete unless I see her. I don't know what she has done to me, but I know that I have never felt this way before.I have become addicted to her laugh, her smile, the way she teases me and I'm always getting pulled in by her
