" hey Crissy. " I heard from my door way. I don't bother with looking up, I knew it was Chris from the moment she appeared outside my house. Apparently that is another part of my new found powers, I can feel the energy of people within some certain feet of me. I don't understand why I am being given all these power or why this is happening to me.

And now I am freaking out... No I was freaking out when I realised that I have a lot of top notch training and powers, now I am shutting down. I have a feeling that if I look at Chris I can read her thoughts. With the way my powers that were non existent and the the few I had are being magnified and the ones I had no idea of are springing out of nowhere, mind reading might be one them. Wait, emotional reading is already there I am I doing so well at it that it is freaky based on the fact that I never practiced it and now it is like second nature to me.

She snorted " you can only read others thoughts if they do not protect themselves, most children above three know how to weave that particular spell ." she informed me from the doorway.

Gasping I turned around" I can't believe you will read my thoughts " and here I was thinking that it was a special skill.

" kind of hard not to. You are practically broadcasting it to everyone around. When you are emotional like really emotional, you broadcast your thoughts and right now they are hitting me with the force of a sledgehammer. " she explained. " why are you so emotional. "

I didn't answer Chris question. With her explanation that means that my aunt must have picked up my thoughts now. " oh crap. How worried is my aunt. " I asked afraid of the answer.

" on a scale of one to ten. Emm a thousand. That's why she called me. " when I groaned she ask in a tentative voice " Am sorry for hitting you. "

" it's okay. Please teach me how to rein my emotions in. " I begged her. I seriously want to stop stressing my aunt. That woman has tried enough. She puts up with me and I know that is already enough work as it is.

" it's easy, what do you do when you want to stop thinking about something , you start thinking about something else. " Chris said with a grin on her face. Her bright mood is already making my mood bright in turn. Chris is like a baby, her smile wants to make you smile in turn. I like that I have a friend like this. This chracteristics is usually rare.

" so I should distract myself with thinking about something else. " I concluded from her statement. At least it is self explanatory and if I had mistakenly asked any teacher in school, I swear that the way they would have explained it would have confused me more.

" or you distract yourself by not thinking at all. By doing something rigorous. " Chris say while waiting for me to connect the dots.

" sorry, I am still lost. "I said after a while of trying to get what she mean but coming up empty handed. Knowing Chris, it will has to do with something like using my power any how.

Chris sighed as she looks at me like I am lost the after shaking her head, she explained it to me. " let's go see the extent of your powers " Chris said as she went to my wardrobe.

" what are you doing. " I ask scared, yes you get scared when a girl who dresses like a guy most of the time go to your wardrobe to search for clothes for you to wear. You don't know what you might get dressed as, there will be a boyish style, nerdy, geeky, sporty or God forbid, combination of all. Oh God please don't let that happen to me

" find an outfit that will match the occasion. " Chris said flipping through my racks then stopped all of a sudden. You made me sound like those dolls like Stacey . " with that statement she put her fingers in the air and with each twirl, my clothes moved in accordance to her will.

" what's wrong with being a doll. " I ask. Okay, I conceed that I might dress up on few occasions and I love gowns bit that doesn't make you a doll, it makes you a fashionista. Difference is very clear.

" nothing just that I am not the type of girl who makes sure that my socks match with my earrings. " Chris replies with a shrug.

" and I am that type of girl? "

" yes, I mean yesterday they matched but today is a disaster " Chris offered.

I freaked out before I realised that I am not wearing any socks nor shoes and also no earrings and she laughs. " really " I asks with my eye brows raised.

" give a girl some break. " I whine as she chuckles then turned back to my clothes. She selected something for me, something I would not have wore on a normal day. " hell no. "

" that's a realm you know. Hell yes " she said as she snaps her fingers and the clothes appeared on my body.

" you got to be kidding me." I complained but she shook her head let as we speak go.

" okay, let me go and get my broom. Ľ I said and as I walk past her she laughs.

" You don't need a broom. Let's go. " she said with a drag of my hands.

I have a feeling that my life will soon change. And not the kind of change that include minor things like changing breakfast menu. I have a feeling my change is going to flip my world upside down
