Chapter One

I sighed, watching television bored out of my mind. I lifted my hand up looking at my glass of water as the water from the glass lifted into the air spinning around. I felt the corners of my mouth lift as I made a smiley face in the air.

I know I'm different from other kids because when I was five I was in my mom's kitchen watching her cook and she dropped some water and I caught it without even touching it. I only looked at it and it started floating into the air. I often did that without even meaning to but, over the years I've learned how to control my mind and emotions. I had to learn how to control my emotions because when I was seven I went swimming with my sister and when she splashed me in my face I got so mad that all the water in the pool lifted into the air, and it all sort of attacked her. When it was done she was unconscious, but not harmed.

I started playing with the water making it into a person and it started to dance an Irish jig. It fell onto the floor when I heard a knock on the door. I stood up walking to the door and opening it to find a good looking guy looking at me with a bored expression. He was about a head taller then me, he had brown eyes, and black spiked hair. He was lean, with a white shirt and black pants with sneakers on.

"Hey… um is Amu here?" He asked in a bored voice, rocking back and forth on his heals.

"Uh your talking to her. Who are you?" I asked in a small voice.

"Oh well I need to talk to you and your parents." He said with a small smile.

"Well what do you want?" I asked sort of panicking. Was he here to tell my parents what I did yesterday at school. This one girl made me mad by picking on my best friend Rima, so I pushed her over and into a trashcan and ran away before the deans could get there. I thought it was kind of funny cause her skirt rode up and everyone could see her cherry underwear.

"I will have to talk to you and your parents about it. I can't just tell you about it." He said smiling.

"Fine come on in." I said moving out of the way so he could walk past me and he did. When he did I could smell a good boy kind of smell. Not anything like the guys at my school where all you smell is sweat. I ran up the stairs to my parents room telling them to come down stairs.

When they finally came down they sat on the couch leaving me sitting by him on the loveseat. "Yes what is it?" My mom said in a slightly annoyed and a slightly tired voice.

"Hello I'm Ikuto. I'm here to inform you about a school that Amu here is eligible to attend to. It is called the, James Academy for special people who have special ability's like Amu here. I for example am able to mend and control earth. I would like to offer you a application to the school. You do not have to pay for her to go to the school." He said like a business man. I blinked trying to absorb it all. He was different too? There were others like me?

"Wow. Does she get a dorm? Where is this place?" My mom asked him.

"Yes she does get a dorm room with a room mate but she is able to apply for a independent dorm. This Academy is located on a hill in Oregon."

"I say I go. Cause I want to meet people like me. To not feel like a freak." I said looking down.

"I don't know…" My mom said looking down in concentration.

"Am I able to come back home for the holidays?" I asked.

"Of course. Your able to leave on the weekends but you would have to sign out on a sheet of paper by the main office." He said bored. Like this was the hundredth time he has said this.

"Come on mom please." I said looking at her with sad eyes.

"Fine but if you don't like it there you come straight home ok? And me and your father get to visit anytime."

"Ok with me." I said smiling.

"Well when you pack up anything you want come down and I'll lead you to the airport and to the schools private jet." He said yawning.
