Point system

Intro

Ever since I was born I've been able to see anyone's points in categories on their shoulders and a total.
Strength: +1 +1 +1 for every step they take.
I've always wondered why the world needed a point system, but I've never been able to get to the bottom of it. I think we all just find out after we die. To be fair, If that's what happens, I'm fine with that. The system probably knows why at this moment.

An average person can see their own score and not everyone else's.

The only thing I really find confusing and annoying is why I can't see the total score of my own points but I can see the scores pop up individually on everyone else. I'm not special, so why? I thought I wasn't different either, but I guess SOMETHING just HAD to be off about me.

WhenI turned 13 I couldn't see my points, I tried seeing if I was special in a different way. I started with experimenting first.
I practiced levitating, telepathy, clairvoyance, mind reading, and almost anything I could think of. None of it worked though, as expected. I wonder if there's something I didn't try that could work for me. It's already been a year and I still haven't figured it out or told a single soul yet.
Currently I'm trying to find this messed up situation out through research instead.

Your points start to accumulate right when you're born. Although, 13 is when everyone starts seeing their own points. Because of that, my sister has always bragged about the amount of points she accumulates daily since she turned "the age."

But back to the point, I'm determined to find answers to this. So far I've only come up with theories instead. Like, "Am I meant to be part of the system? Do they randomly select people to see others' points?" There's so many things to find out.

Maybe I can find a way to sneak into the system.
That seems like the easiest way to find out the secrets they keep from us. The only problem is getting caught.

A/N: I noticed this may be a little confusing so...The system is like the government. They're public but they have a lot of secrets. Points are basically your rank. Like ability, responsibility, strength, smarts, and things like that. Austin (MC) can see what category the points are in that people are earning and losing.
