The last day of what these people call 'sleepovers' was also a last for a lot of things.
The last time I will read those utterly ridiculous books, the last time I'll answer such touchy questions...
And the last time my life was at least even a little bit peaceful.

The adrenaline pills, they worked great, amazing even. A load of adrenaline given to me freely, resulting in much stronger psychic abilities.
But like all things I somehow achieve, there is a price. And that is spilling my food out, or per se, stomach acid? I do not eat much.
This throwing up of mine has caused that team to see me in a different light, could it be, the sick girl? That must be it.
