The night filled with chaos as the fire brigades and the neighbours gathered around my house. I was 8 years old when I, Lia Rover, experienced my powers for the first time but still couldn't understand it.
The days went by and I grew older and older. The neighbours began to talk on how deviant I was. I was bullied in school about being weird.I never had much friends to share my feelings with. My parents would have to change city every few years for my sake but no matter how much I tried I couldn't fit in.
At the age of 17, finally being able to have more control over my powers than I could have in all these years, I was ready to move to another town.
A fresh start, a new school and new friends. I thought I wouldn't have to live in shed any more. I could make friends like a normal teen. Hoping that I wouldn't have to run any more, I wouldn't have to hide any more.
The days went by normally in my new high school. Except a few mistakes with my powers, I was able to hide it well.
I have a group of friends now who love me a lot. I sat in the cafeteria with my friends Honey, Carly, Neil and Jason.
I still remember my first encounter with my best friend, Honey.
"Ah! sorry, I didn't know you were going to take this book" Honey said to me as we both reached for the same book in the library.
"Oh no, I am sorry. You can take it. I'll just get myself something else."
That was how our friendship started. We had a lot in common. Likes, dislikes and Neil.
I had to sit there feeling heavy hearten and a bit jealous as Neil asked Honey out on a date just a year ago. I sat there feeling awkward as Neil would hold Honey's hand and ask her out on the school dance every year.
Last year, I just lost my wit as they dance on the spot light. It was not like I wasn't happy for them, and I wasn't angry either. But it was a bit upsetting and it broke my heart. I came over my feelings for Neil eventually after setting fire on the school by mistake during last year's school dance.
