I figured out I'm an elite but I can't let others know. I promised my parents I wouldn't let anyone know. I kept my head down like I promised. My parents, were going to miss me, this school is all year round so no summer break to come home and to go visit the forest or the beach. We will have a weeks break at Christmas, and one week in the summer to return home. My parents can't afford it though, they can afford this private elite school either.
"Megs, you ready for tomorrow?"
"Huh"
"Are you excited to start high school?"
"Honestly mom, I'm not sure what to expect. I've stayed in the shadows for the past two years."
"So then your worried, hun."
" Yeah, I have done what you asked throughout middle school and nobody knows I have abilities and I wish I had more time to stay here and could of gotten to see everyone for longer. I missed you all and I'm not ready to leave. To stay high school, I've heard rumors that it's worse than middle school and all of a sudden people's powers get stronger. What if mine get stronger and I can't control them. What if I become a bigger target. I didn't get along with any of the other low-tiers that were with me last year, so nobody has my back."
"Megs, it's ok. I know this is all different and I am so proud of you. Your father would be too... but you will be ok and I will see you again next summer for a week. Just promise you will continue to keep your head down and not start anything. Going to this school gives you a chance and it's such an amazing opportunity for you, promos you won't give up and you will be good"
"...Okay mom, I promise I'll be good."
The last few years have been horrible, I've watch people get beat up for no reason and people forcing there powers over others to gain control. I asked to not even be introduced to my class so nobody would know I was new. I also know my moms right, it is an amazing opportunity. I never have understood why I can't use my powers or let others know that I have them. I guess it's a good thing though I heard all the rumors and things people said about the high ranks behind there back and how fake they were around them.
I had one friend, I wouldn't do much call him a friend though, his name is Logan, he was a royal. He was the king in middle school but I know he might not continue to be once we got into high school. He always hide the fact that we knew each other and I understood why. He actually only really ever talked to me because we got assigned as partners for a group project and then he wanted me to do his homework, which I did without hesitation. It made it so I was safe kind of, because that how I started to help the other royals. They showed me ways to get around the school that made it so I was around less people which helped me avoid being noticed and getting beat up. In return I did all of there work. It wasn't really a completely fair trade off but at least it made it so I didn't end up like my roommate. At least once a week she came back wearing a new cast from getting her arm or leg broken by some bullies and she always had bruises or cuts on her. It's just the way the world works the weak are kept in there place unable to fight back. I rarely got into fights or got hurt since I stayed out of the way and was able to avoid people. It's probably part of why she hated me so much, it's probably why I didn't get along with any of them. I was stronger than they were and I wasn't getting beat up or bullied to the extent they were. None of there families had put them through fighting classes and they didn't have the same strength or endurance as me because I worked out all the time to become stronger and able to have a chance to defend myself. It wasn't what I wanted though, I had never wanted to be alone and I had hoped to make friends. Instead I survived middle school alone and now I'm going into high school with no support except my mom. I remember being alone in my dorm room crying after finding out my dad died but I wasn't able to leave school for the funeral. I went through all of it alone, the teachers didn't notice or say anything and I had nobody to talk to since I didn't have any friends. I had chosen safety and a better chance at survival over have friends. It was an easy choice for me I guess.
