Footsteps pounded on the pavement, giving Mia a headache as she saw Bella and Drew racing towards them. "Mia!? Blake!? Are you okay? Oh my gosh! What the heck happened?" asked Bella. Mia turned around to find that Bella and Drew were making their way towards them.

"Yeah," she informed them, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm fine but... we just got attacked. Almost kidnapped," she confessed, still in shock.

"What!?" Bella asked, her face a mix of shock, worry, and fear.

"Yeah, Blake punched some of them, though and they just left," she lied.

"So they got away?" Drew asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, they did."

"We should get you two home," Drew suggested. 

"It's fine. Really I'm fine," Mia muttered.

Before she even knew what was happening, Bella wrapped her arms around Mia and as they huddled around her, wrapping their arms around Mia in a tight embrace, she knew that she had finally found people who maybe, just maybe, really cared for her. That was enough.

Mia woke up to the bright sun shining on her face through her attic window. She had decided that what had happened the other day was nothing but her imagination. Mia got up slowly and yawned as she looked at her alarm clock. Her eyes widened as she saw that it was already 7:40! This meant that she would only have twenty minutes to get ready.

She ran into the small bathroom and grabbed a towel. She took a quick five-minute shower. She dried and brushed her hair quickly before brushing her teeth.

Mia raced down the stairs and into the kitchen where she grabbed two pop tart packets.

"TORI! Time to go!" she yelled, already racing out the door with Tori on her heels. They reached the car quickly and hopped in. "Google Maps, please," Mia asked as she started up the old car. She still didn't quite know the way to the school as they had only been there once and it was a thirty-minute drive.

The traffic was unusually bad. The highways were jammed and it took them the full thirty minutes to arrive. They got inside and went their separate ways, racing towards their classes. Mia entered her Literature classroom and rushed to the same seat she sat in yesterday. She wasn't late but she also wasn't early which meant that she had no time to read.

She listened to Mr. Culie's lecture as she took notes. She already knew most of what he was talking about simply due to the fact that she read so much but she figured that it would be smart to re-study it.

No matter how hard she tried she couldn't get the thoughts that had happened yesterday out of her head... She told no-one anything and hoped that it would go away. It was just a dream! I didn't get attacked and I didn't do anything that had to do with electricity! I went outside to cry when Blake found me and comforted me, she told herself sternly.

By the time lunch came around Mia was freaking out. She walked into the large cafeteria and sat down at the same table as she had the day before. It was next to a window so the sun was shining down on her face. A few minutes later, Bella, Drew, and Blake came over and sat down.

"Hey, Mia. How are you doing?" Bella wondered. "You know, after everything that happened yesterday?"

"I'm fine. I just wish we could've gotten their license plate or something that would tell us who those people are."

"We will find them," Drew assured her. Mia noticed that Blake was being very quiet.

"How are you, Blake?" Mia asked him.

"I'm... I'm fine. Could I maybe talk to you in private, Mia?" he asked apprehensively.

"Okay?" she responded as she stood up slowly. He led her to a corner and ran his fingers through his dark brown hair, as his green eyes looked at her.

"It's just... you know... we both saw... yesterday," he stuttered.

"What? You mean when you were comforting me?"

"No, Mia! I mean when you... when you turned invisible and zapped them!" he clarified.

"That never happened!" she assured, but whether she was assuring him or herself, she wasn't sure.

"What? What do you mean that that never happened. Of course it happened! I saw you! Do you have any idea how cool this is?" Blake asked as Mia searched his eyes for any sign that he was joking. She came up empty. She thought for a second and then she realized what she'd missed.

"Wait a second. Did you say I turned invisible?" Mia asked with wide eyes.

"What else would I have said? That's what happened!" he exclaimed.

"I'm not going to do anything with it. I just want to forget everything that happened," she told him serenely.

"Why would you do that when you have this opportunity? Do you realize what you could do with this? You could help everybody. You are literally a superhero."'

"No, I can't! You need more than just some weird ability. I don't even have an ability! It was just in our minds! I can't do this," Mia's voice rose the more she talked and she ran off. She made her way out of the cafeteria and outside where she found a large willow tree to sit under.

The leaves seemed to make a room around her which made her feel safe as she sat there crying into her hands. Only minutes later a silhouette made it's way past the leaves. She realized that it was Blake who's face had emerged. He sat down next to her and they remained in a comfortable silence for a few minutes as she just sat there crying into her hands.

"I'm sorry," he apologized after a few more minutes of silence. "I didn't mean to upset you or push you into doing anything. I was just thinking about the possibilities and not what you wanted," he clarified.

"It's... I'm fine. It's just been such an emotional day with everything going on. You know whenever something big happens in my life I always just think about my mom." Mia whispered the last part. She didn't realize what she was saying until after it had already been said and she instantly regretted it.

"What?" Blake asked, looking confused.

"It's not important. My mom left when I was a kid, but I don't care that much." Mia figured he'd find out eventually so why not get it out of the way now?

"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" he asked. Mia, yet again, tried to play it off as if it was nothing but just as yesterday she felt tears form in her eyes and fall off her face. Luckily she wasn't sobbing hysterically as she had been yesterday but even a small amount of tears hurt her pride.

"Th-thank you. This seems to happen a lot. I'm really sorry for crying," she said through her tears. Although her tears had lessened many were still streaming down her face. As he hugged her she thought that the feeling would disappear but it didn't. Rather, the feeling grew. What was happening to her?

"You have no need to say that you're sorry. I just wish that your life was easier. You shouldn't have had to deal with that," he told me sympathetically.

"You know what? I'm going to do it! I mean if I do end up having these... powers or whatever they are then I'll try, try to maybe use them. This is only a possibility and you need to remember that this is a lot for me. I feel like I'm going to wake up any moment and this is going to end up being a dream. I still have no idea what I'm going to do. For now, I'm just going to try and hope that that's enough," she confided in the seemingly kind boy.

"It's going to be okay. I want you to know that I think that even just trying is a really incredible thing to do. I also want you to know that if it were me I would've chosen to do it way sooner."

"Wow. You know, for a second there I really thought you had changed. Whatever," she dismissed his rude comment and realized that although they might not hate each other and she might even occasionally like hanging out with him they could never be very close friends. Acquaintances at most.

"True, true. We should probably go back inside. The bell's about to ring." Sure enough, moments later the loud chime of the bell rang through the halls, announcing to all that it was time to go to class.

Mia and Blake stood up quickly and ran back inside where Mia grabbed her bag from the table that she had been sitting at before everything happened. She and Blake sprinted as fast as they could to Biology.

Taking the same seat as yesterday she sat down next to Blake. Mrs. Hackings, their teacher, started her lessons. Yet again, she already knew all that was being taught so she just sat there silently, her mind going one hundred miles an hour. Why did she say she'd do it? What was she thinking? How would she train? Did anybody else have abilities such as these? What was she going to do?

"Miss Patterson! Would you please answer the question," the cold voice of Mrs. Hackings snarled, taking me out of my thoughts.

"I'm sorry, what was the question," Mia asked in a volume close to a whisper.

"I will only tell you this one more time! Which animal that we have been studying does not have red blood cells!?" she snapped. Luckily Mia knew the answer. She wasn't completely sure how but somehow she knew. She stood up and looked her teacher straight in the eye.

"The answer would be earthworms, Mrs. Hackings." Mia looked at her with a knowing smirk on her face.

"Correct," she snarled, seemingly annoyed that her intelligent student knew the answer.

Mia sat back down before high fiving Blake.

"How did you know that? We haven't gotten that far yet," he wondered curiously.

"That's not cool. Why would anybody ask a question that their students haven't learned yet?" Mia asked, ignoring his question.

"I know right! But you still haven't answered my question," he reminded her, giving Mia a small smirk.

"Right. Well, I'm not completely sure," she muttered quietly.

"What? How can you not know where you learned something?"

"I don't know. It just kind of popped into my mind at the exact moment she asked the question."

"What?"

"I know, right? I probably just learned it a really long time ago and then remembered it right then."

"Oh, okay."

"Mr. Payson and Miss Patterson, do you have something you would like to share with the class?" the teacher asked in her cold, judgmental, voice.

"No, Mrs. Hackings. Sorry," Mia apologized quietly, looking down at her desk.

"Good. This time listen!"

Many hours later school was finally over. Throughout the rest of her after-lunch classes, she had re-learned multiple things and was able to fully listen in on the lectures. In between one of her classes Blake invited her to hang out after school. She really wanted to due to the fact that they needed to discuss things, but due to her strict father, she wasn't allowed. Instead, she asked for his number so they could set something up for later. She wasn't happy that she had to talk to him but who else would help her with this? She was certainly far too terrified to tell anybody and it's not like anybody else had seen it.

The car ride home was silent on Mia's end, although Tori talked non-stop. She knew this would happen of course. Tori would go and grumble about how terrible it was that she had to move and then the second day there she would be Miss Popular. She was just such a lovable and pretty person that there was no way she couldn't be popular.

After listening to Tori talk about her great day for five minutes Mia turned her focus onto driving. The traffic was just as bad as it had been on their way to school. Huh? Was the traffic always this bad? She'd heard of L.A. having bad traffic but she never suspected that it would take a minimum of three hours to get home. At this point it would've been faster to walk.

"This traffic is driving me crazy!" Tori shouted at no-one in particular.

"It is kind of weird, isn't it? I wonder why the traffic is so bad."

"Well, whatever it is, I don't really care at all because all I want right now is to go home and sleep for like twelve hours," she told Mia with a frown.

"Same," Mia breathed. She was sooo exhausted.

As they passed a familiar street they saw their house after two hours in the car.

"Finally."

A/N Hello my lovely (very few) readers. I wanted to thank you guys for reading. I realize that you guys were probably hoping that I would be able to post faster due to the quarantine but you have to remember that I'm homeschooled so literally nothing has changed for me. Anyway, love y'all.

Bye Beauties

Xoxo - Abby
