to start over too. Nobody here looked at her like she was strange or weird. She was now able to control her power field and people were able to actually get near her without a wall of static shock smacking them around.
    She might even be a contender for prom queen this year , she thought with a grin on her face. She grabbed a couple books and put the two in her backpack in the locker before shutting it. She pulled her schedule out again, double checking the room number and teacher and then walked down the hallway. She glanced once more down at the paper in her hand and didn’t notice a bright pink boot flick out in front of her.
    Before she knew it, Sarah was flying fast towards the hard linoleum, gasping in surprise. Her power went on instinct and she stopped herself from hitting the floor hard. If anyone was looking closely, it looked as if she was taking a moment to do a push up. Sarah straightened up slowly, pulling her back pack firmly over her shoulder and turned to see who owned the bright pink boot. She wasn’t surprised to see Charlie leaning up against a locker, chewing gum and grinning at her.
    “Good reflexes Sarah.”
    Sarah tilted her head and stared expressionlessly at the girl, hearing her father just the night before making her promise to not get into a fight. Of course, he did give her permission to protect herself. She glanced around the crowded hallway and knew she shouldn’t make a scene. She wasn’t hurt. She could let this go. Sarah rolled her eyes at Charlie, still not saying a word and walked off, throwing her protection shield up around herself just in case Charlie felt like throwing more than a foot at her. She grimaced as a few people turned their head to stare at her as she walked too close to them and they felt the shock.
    Sarah didn’t look back, but she could feel Charlie staring a hole in her back. Charlie had wanted a confrontation with her and she hadn’t given it to her. Now she was really irritated with Sarah. Sarah smiled and walked in her first period class and sat down in an empty chair, pulling her energy inward now that she was away from Charlie.
    The second day of school was slightly better than the first Sarah had to admit. Ms. Franks ignored her and she found out that she and Carter had similar taste in music and movies. No on Kesha, yes on all things Avengers. They walked together to the cafeteria and Sarah felt her spirits lighten. She was making friends and she was about to see Zane. Life was looking up.
    “Come sit with me and my friends Sarah. I can introduce you around,” Carter offered, motioning towards a table in the center. Sarah glanced at Carter’s friends and smiled as some of them noticed Carter and waved him over.
    “Thanks Carter, but I already agreed to have lunch with someone. Maybe another time?”
    Carter smiled, nodded and walked off, leaving her to scan the crowded cafeteria for Zane or Lash. She smiled as she spotted Lash first. He was sitting at a different table than yesterday and he was surrounded by four girls, smiling and laughing at everything he said. He looked up right then, their eyes catching and he smiled slowly at her. He waved her over to his table, but she shook her head. He shrugged and went back to his conversation with a cute girl with short black hair.
    Sarah walked towards the table they had all sat at yesterday, but it was empty so she got in line to get her lunch. When she was through the line, she stared with a frown across the large room and knew instinctively that Zane was not there. She sighed miserably and realized that she was going to be eating lunch by herself. She glanced at Carter’s table, but it was packed now and there was no room for her. So she found a table with a few empty chairs and asked the few kids sitting there if she could join them. One of the girls was in her gym class and she smiled and pointed to a chair beside her.
    Sarah relaxed and joined the conversation, but continually scanned the crowds for
