“Where should I start?” I sit back on the couch and stare at the picture on the wall in front of us. “There’s something strange about Max. At first, I thought maybe I was just acting out because there was this new cute boy and he seemed interested in me but then other strange things started happening. I’m not sure if it is directed related to him or if my emotions are just affecting my powers. I thought I could handle this on my own. And for the most part, I did. But something happened last night,” I want to keep talking but Mom raises her hand to pause me.
“Whoa, hold on, that is a lot to process. Take it slow, tell me what happened last night?” I nod in agreement and Mom gives me the all-clear to start talking again.
