The X-Men meets Stranger Things in this coming-of-age tale.
I, Nadine Jackson, believe in science and opportunities, not stories out of a comic book.
So as part of a school project, my friends Imogen 'Aria' Zhang, Marco Martinez, James Ryder and I were tasked to find a topic on social issues and do a project about it.
But just as we were up to the challenge, we were "killed" by two men, drowned in toxic water, and instantly came back to life with no sudden injuries and supernatural abilities.
While I can move things with my mind, Aria controls air, Marco is immortal, and James can phase through walls.
And as weird as this sounds, my friends and I are being hunted by federal agents, shunned by society, and wanted for crimes that we never did.
James always told us that everything is going to be alright; that nothing bad is going to happen to us no matter what.
But when you are a fifteen-year-old kid with weird powers, how will you ever go back to the way things were?

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off.
His eyes were blazing with rage.
His face was set into an icy glare.
His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white.
As he stood from his chair so did I.
I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle.
I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me.
I gulped again before shaking me head.
"She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back.
"How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me.
As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me.
Well great.
Now I'm cornered.
This is just typical.
