Home?

When I regained consciousness I was lying on the floor in front of my teacher Olivia's desk. She wasn't wearing that strange mask this time though. I got to my feet and she jumped to her feet at the sight of me. She asked me if I was alright almost yelling, and handed me my schedule. I wasn't sure how to respond so I smiled and told her I didn't sleep much the night before. I had no idea what to think anymore. That face it was her I knew it was, Carol Eversworth my new foster mom. I had too many questions and no way to get answers. Olivia did not look like that during her lecture, and Carol was there in that cmp base.

I had no idea what was real, so I hopped the school gate and ran past a big sign that read "Tareev High School, home to Essterrac's brightest". I followed the path Carol took to drive me to school that morning, it was simple to remember because we lived about 6 streets over from the school. when I got to the house I snuck into the backyard to look around, it was spotless. A well-kept grass yard with a garden surrounded by 2 brick walls. The back door was unlocked so I went inside, there was no sign of Carol at first. there was a tv on the right side of the room and a couch pushed up on the wall to the left blocking the door from opening completely. I walked in quietly closing the door behind me. The walls inside the house were brown and had a wooden texture to them. 

Next to the TV, there was a hallway leading to Carol's room. As I slowly crept down the hall, I heard footsteps from the dining area getting closer. I stopped dead in my tracks and started knocking on her room door just as she turned the corner. I raised my hand to wave hello but she rushed right past me to check that her room was locked. I was surprised until she turned her head toward me with a confused look, "why are you home early from school?" I wasn't sure how to respond because I was just acting impulsively, " I fainted in class so they sent me home, I was just on my way to tell you". "Oh, that explains it, Don't worry about that whole thing just now, I'm a very private person." 

At that moment every muscle in my body started screaming for me to run, so I did I walked off toward my room. " I'm going to go lay down in my room Mom," then I bolted out the front door. I ran for almost an hour straight while pondering what was happening. Once I was sure that I had run far enough I had the idea to try out the talent I kept dreaming about. I stretched out my hand and closed my eyes while thinking about what to form. I made up my mind to make a hoodie so I could switch up my appearance.

To my surprise, an oil-like slime started to slowly take shape in my palm and then it expanded into the exact image I constructed in my mind. I changed into my new hoodie but just as I was putting my old sweater in my backpack Carol drove up right beside me.
