Meet Emily, a 17-year-old girl who lives in a small town. Emily has always been a perfectionist, trying to please her parents and teachers by getting straight A's and never getting in trouble. But lately, she's been feeling overwhelmed by the pressure. She feels like she's constantly falling short of her own expectations and the expectations of those around her. She felt like a failure,being bullied by her friends because she didn't meet their expectations.
When Emily was in ninth grade, she started noticing that she had some unusual abilities. She could move objects with her mind, she could sense things before they happened, and she could see things that others couldn't see. At first, she kept these abilities a secret, but eventually she confided in Emma. Emma was amazed and excited by Emily's abilities, but she urged Emily to keep them hidden from everyone else. As time went on, Emily became more and more curious about her abilities and started exploring them more deeply. She found that she could use her abilities to help people, like when she helped her neighbor find his lost dog by using her ability to sense where it was hiding. However, Emily's abilities also started causing problems for her. One day, when she was at school, she accidentally moved a book with her mind, and the other students noticed. They began to whisper and point at her, and some of them even called her a "freak."
Meanwhile, Emily's parents had started to notice that something was different about her.
One day, Emily's parents confronted her about what was going on. They were concerned and confused, and they asked her to explain what was happening. Emily was scared and didn't know what to say, but Emma urged her to be honest with them. Emily took a deep breath and told her parents the truth about her abilities. At first, they didn't believe her, but when she demonstrated her powers, they were shocked and frightened.
So, Emily's abilities were becoming more and more difficult to hide. In addition to moving objects without touching them, she was also seeing things that no one else could see. One night, while she was having dinner with her family, she saw a shadowy figure in the corner of the room. She tried to ignore it, but it kept staring at her, and she felt a sense of dread. She looked up at her parents, but they didn't seem to notice anything strange.
A few days after the incident at dinner, Emily was walking home from school when she saw the shadowy figure again. This time, it seemed to be following her. She started to run, but the figure kept pace with her. She turned a corner and found herself in an alleyway. There, the figure stepped out of the shadows and revealed itself to be a tall, shadowy man with glowing red eyes.
He said, "I know what you are, and I want to help you."
Emily was terrified, but she couldn't help but feel drawn to the mysterious man. She found herself saying, "Who are you? What do you want from me?" The man replied, "My name is not important. I'm here to help you understand and control your abilities. You're not alone - there are others like you." As he spoke, the man's voice was soothing and comforting, but his glowing red eyes were still unnerving.
Emily was still frozen in place, unable to move as the man with glowing red eyes stood before her. He continued, "You have incredible power, and I can help you learn to control it. But you must come with me." Suddenly, everything went dark. When Emily opened her eyes again, she was in a large, circular room, surrounded by other people who looked just like her. The man stood before them and said, "Welcome to the Academy."
"Academy?" Emily said confused
"Yes,Academy". The man said smiling
"But..." Emily was cut short by her mom's voice.
"Wake up,its time for school". Her mom said said tapping her
"Oh" She yanwed as she greeted her mother. She hurried to the bathroom and pondered over her dream
"Thank God it is a dream". She thought as she hurried to school
At school, Emily was always the target of bullies. She was shy and quiet, and her peers took advantage of that. They would spread rumors about her, call her names, and even steal her belongings. She was too scared to speak up for herself, and she felt like she had no one to turn to. The teachers didn't seem to notice or care about what was happening, and her parents were too busy to pay attention. She felt trapped and alone, and her self-esteem suffered.
As the bullying continued, Emily's friends slowly began to turn their backs on her. They stopped inviting her to hang out, and they started to exclude her from their conversations. She was hurt and confused by their actions, and she didn't know what to do. She thought that they were her friends, but now she felt like they had abandoned her.
"Hey, do you guys want to hang out this weekend?" Emily said
"Sorry, we already have plans. Maybe another time". Naomi replied harshly. She's always known to be like that,she talk to anyone in a harsh manner without considering their feelings
"Oh, okay. I was just hoping we could all hang out together. It's been a while". Emily said calmly,putting a smile on her face
"Yeah, I know, but we're just really busy right now. I'm sure we can do something soon, though.". Emma said
" I guess. It just feels like I'm not really part of the group anymore."
Emily's other friend, Andrea seemed oblivious to the pain her words were causing. She continued, "Don't be silly! Of course you're part of the group. We're just all so busy right now. I promise we'll find time to hang out soon." But her words did little to comfort Sarah, who could sense the distance growing between them. The truth was, Emily's friends had slowly started to drift away from her, and she was struggling to understand why.
Emily's confusion and hurt began to turn to anger and resentment. As she watched her friends have fun without her, she started to feel like they had betrayed her. She couldn't understand why they had turned their backs on her, and she began to question if she had done something wrong.
