Fantasy Fiction Friendship

“ SHUT UP” I threw my phone away it was annoying I couldn’t handle it. “ wake up lazy head, and why the hell is your phone on the floor?” My mom picks my phone , puts it beside me and then she pulls the sheets off of me. “ HEY”. “ Don’t make me drag you out”. “Ok mom I’m up”. ” good”. I look at her eyes before she leaves my room, when i looked at her eyes, it was like they were telling somet about her, describing her, sad and worried, I shook my head to clear my thought. ” are you ok”. “yeah“ I forced a smile on my face. That’s weird, it’s probably because I just woke up. I changed and went down stairs . ” Boys stop playing with the food and finish quickly your going to be late”. I took a sit beside mom “ hey, slow down you two” I said as I watched them force the pancakes into their mouths. when I finished my plate I placed in the sink, and then went back to it and decided to wash all the dishes . “ Thank you sweetheart, you didn’t have to do it” She said with small smile. “ it’s fine I’m done”. I took my bag and headed to school. I walk into the school and make my way to the English class. I place my bag beside me as I sit next to the window at the very back so no one bothers me. I wasn’t late for the first time, I watched as people started to come in pretty fast. Then after a few minutes the teacher came, I wasn’t looking at him I was busy drawing random stuff. “ raven, did you do your homework ?” He asked. man why did he ask me first? .” Yes i did “ That’s when I looked at his eyes, it felt like they were talking to me, his daughter is in the hospital, how did I know that?, he didn’t mention anything about it, did I just, no it’s impossible. After what seemed like forever , school was finally over, I took my stuff and headed back home. What is wrong with me today? how did I see all of that? Know what they thought? I was just looking at them. Wait what if I have a super power thing that makes me see throw people, let me try again. I closed my eyes and then opened them, I looked at mom again, this time I saw why she was upset and worried, she got fired from her work, and now she works two different jobs, but still she doesn’t earn that much from them, shes worried about the bank taking the house at the end of the month. I looked away, and felt warm tears falling , I quickly wipe them with my sleeve before she notice it. Poor mom she kept all this to her self, she must be tired. I grab my bag and go to the door. “ rav where are you going”. “I’m going to Kate “. “ ok don’t be late”. I wasn’t going to go to Kate, I mean we were close but for some reason she stoped talking to me that happened after she started hangMing out with Anna and her friends. Anyways, I was going to search for a job, I have to help mom in anyway , I can’t leave her like this especially after what I saw. Her beautiful blue eyes told me more then what she shows, how she felt, what she was thinking about, what made her worried or upset. I don’t know how this happened to me, but what ever happened it happened for a reaso, I have to use it for good. I saw coffee shop that wanted a waiter’s, perfect. “ hi, I came for the..”.” your hired”. Wow that was fast.

1month later

Its been a month, and I still can see people thoughts just by looking at their eyes. Well who ever said that the eyes don lie wasn’t joking, it was true. I worked double shifts just to make sure I have enough money for mom, and yes I told her, she was happy she even cried, happy tears, and for my English teacher, i was trying to be a good student hoping that he wo trust me and open up a bit , it took time but he did, he talked about it and I tried my best to help. I also looked into kates eyes, she dis hate me , she was forced into this by Anna of course, we spoke last week and everything went back to norma. I learned a lot from this, it changed me to the better, i felt special, I was an ordinary girl who didn’t know what her mom was going throug, nor what happened to my best friend. I wish I could do more, I will do my best, because I believe I’m gifted. After I was done with my work I headed back home. I went upstairs, fell in bed without changing my cloth I was extremely tired I couldn’t resist my eyes it was shut down. Next day I woke up, I went to moms room she was getting ready to go out, I looked at her eyes but I couldn’t see anything , huh is that it. “ raven, are you ok? Why are you staring at me?”. “ I’m sorry, I felt like I didn’t see from long time”. “ oh dear you must be exhausted from working , you know you don’t have to work like this were financially doing great, we have more then enough money “. That’s it now it’s gone, man I wanted to see mrs mark, I wounded what makes him so moody or mrs Rolf his always angry or miss Amy , she doesn’t like me at all, god I actually didn’t see through a lot of people, man Im so dumb and I thought it would stay for ever, and I thought I was a superhero or something it only lasted for one month.
