9Hello virtual readers :) This is my second story, I have been working on this for some time, and have completed loads of it, I actually really like this story and I hope that you do too :) All reviews and tips are greatly appriciated :]
I had never really fit in anywhere, not even in my own home. Don't get me wrong my mum tried. Wow, did she try, but no matter what she did, it was me that felt the need to reject it. I've imagined how hard it must have been when I first started doing the things that I do. She might have thought she was going crazy at first, or maybe assumed it was a trick of the light but the third or fourth time it happened she must have gotten scared.
I can't really remember the first time it happened, she wouldn't tell me. But I remember one time in particular. I was at the swimming pool with my year 8 class. We were learning how to jump in properly without flailing hopelessly in the air. I managed my jump perfectly, but then I'd always been great in the water, star of the class. There was this girl, Kelly Hannigan. Everyone loved her. You know the type, blonde haired, blue eyed perfection, even at such a young age. She could have made it later in life with those looks. She had always hated me, I didn't know why. She would tease me on the school yard, spread rumours about me and turn my only 'friends' against me. Some people get their kicks out of hurting other people, and she was one of them. Anyway, it was her turn to jump. She was always graceful in all aspects of life, that didn't change when she was in the water. She stepped to the edge, her pristine hair tied in a neat bun on top of her head, cast a superior gaze around the other students in the class, skipping over me, and jumped. I don't know why I felt a sudden pang of hurt wash over me; it didn't stay there for long, anger followed. She was about to slip into the water when I noticed a ripple cross the moderately still surface and I felt the dynamic of everything change. Everything about the situation came into perspective and I wanted what happened next to occur. She entered the water as gracefully as ever, with cheers from her friends and groans of longing from girls who wanted to be her. A few seconds passed. Kelly hadn't resurfaced straight away but sometimes this could be normal for someone to do, it builds momentum for their glorious return, right? I knew what was happening, and I enjoyed the thought of what the others reactions would be when someone was smart enough to check the rippling water. I could feel what was going on, it was a strange feeling, not the fact that I could feel it, but more the fact that this feeling felt precisely right. I could feel her trying to move, attempting to reach the surface in the area of water that had suddenly gained the pressure of water great fathoms under the sea. I felt the water squeeze her body, pushing until she couldn't take it any longer. I knew I was controlling this and I knew I wouldn't be able to stop now. I recognised a snap and felt a new foreign liquid inside the water. The people here didn't disappoint me, their reactions were priceless. Screams when I pushed that new liquid to the surface of the water. I even allowed some people the privilege of being sprayed by their beloved classmate's blood. By now Kelly had stopped fighting, trying to move against the pressure, she could not move but if she were able to she wouldn't anyway. She welcomed death. I could feel tendons snapping, it didn't matter anymore. She couldn't feel it. A life guard dived into the water fearlessly so I released the pressure. I didn't want to kill other people, just her. But I had another small present for everyone staring at the pool. Manipulating Kelly's blood I formed a heart on the surface and slowly made it come apart at the middle. Karma's a bitch.
