We have a test today and I just came to the school. I have to strive for 150%! How am I going to do that? Batelya saw me and told me that the answers are easy. Easy?! Of course she will call it easy. She has been in this school for three years.
The test is done, I hope I did well. We don't get our grade till next week. Right now, I just wanna go home.
Oh wait, I remember what Batelya was going to tell me like who she knew about me already when she just met me.
I said," Hey, Elya. Remeber what you told me yesterday?" Batelya said," Oh, about the time when I ate a-" I did not want to hear that again. It to nasty. I said," No. Anything but that. I mean when you already knew about me."
She said," Ohhhh that. Yea, well I have a secret power." Cool. I said," Really? Even though I totally don't believe you." I actually really do.
She said," Yea-" I saw Gerold come to us and he was about to say something. I looked at Batelya hoping she would say something else but she was waving her hands at Gerold.
She doesn't have telepathy right? Gerold started mouthing "she has to know." I don't think they know that I'm actually good at lip reading.
Gerold finally said," She has a power but it's not telepathy." What! You have got to be kidding me!
Not having telepathy, it's such a great power! I can cheat on every test. It's good for me because I'm not very smart.
Batelya said," Okay. I don't have telepathy. I want to have it but I'm stuck with the stupidest power."
I wonder what it is. I said," Well....what is it?" She said," Its telling people's future." Wow! How could she say it's the stupidest power? I mean it may be boring but I don't find it that boring.
I said," Either way, with any power you could still be able to cheat on tests." Gerold said," Is that the only thing you care about?"
How did he even know I said that before. He did say "only". I said," Do you have telepathy?" He said," No. I have no power actually."
Interesting. Batelya said," I have another power." What another one?" She said," I can also give people any power they want by becoming friends with them." Wait. Does that mean-
Batelya said," Just kidding! I do it by touching their hand." I said," Then that means Gerold can have a power too." Gerold said," Yea but I want to use mine wisely." I said," What is the power you want?"
He said," I don't know." Well that makes more sense. I actually don't want one. I mean having powers are cool but still. I said," Hey Elya. Wanna go shopping after school?"
She said," Sure. Sorry Gerold but maybe you and Arlo can go to Game Station." Gerold said," Sure. That is the new place and Arlo said he wanted to check it out."
Arlo? Is he behind me? I turned around to see if he was behind me and he wasn't there. I sighed of relief and went to pack my book bag getting ready to head out with Elya on our way to Forever 21.

I said," Hey! Come over here! Isn't this top cute?" Batelya said," Your not gonna get it. Too expensive." Dang it. I forgot she had powers. I said," Then what about these shorts with pearls on the side?"
She just nodded her head. I couldn't tell if she was lying or not so I just left it.
I saw her snicker so I ran back to buy it. We were hungry so we stopped by Starbucks. I heard that they had a new flavor called " Charlie D'melio Drink." We both took a sip and said that it was good.
I was going to save it for when I go home but Elya told me that my mther is going to get upset at me drinking coffee.
We then shopped some more. This was a really great way to know your knew friend. Especially if its a girl. She must have aready known what I was going to ask her but I just wanted to ask her. I said,"
Do you want to have a sleepover at my house?" She said," Sure. My mother said I could go." There was something i wated to ask her though.
I said," Does anyone in your family know you have powers?" She said," About that....."
