"Yes Daddy, I'll try my best. You don't have to worry about me." I said in the side seat of his an old pickup truck he had just bought when we moved to California a week ago. My Dad kissed me on my forhead. "It's what I do." He said, hugging me. He chuckled, and I could feel it through his chest as it vibrated through me. Dirt and grass, just like his work. My Dad was a biologist and he's always exploring new areas in heavily forested areas like the giant forest we just m,oved next to. Sadly, there weren'y any public schools in the are, so I had to go to Mossington Finishing school, about an hour away from my home.
I jumped out of the car and waved enthusiatically as my dad drove away. Only then did the panic seize me. I was moving here for the next three months, alone, without Dad. How was he going to survive without me? He didn't even know how to make boxed mac and cheese correctly.
I took a big breath and felt my fingers tingle as small sparks flew out of them like mini fireworks. I took comfort in their warmth as I headed to the dorms.

I was getting another roommate. i let out a sigh of relief that I'd been holding since the last one left. Something about my ending up in every single one of her dreams. How could I help it? Her dreams were interesting. But shadow walkers aren't supposed to use powers so blatently. That was one of the rules I made for myself. I'm the ONLY shadow walker. i hoped that whoever she was, the new girl didn't mind if the dorm was rather cold. The heat never got down to this end of the building.

I stumbled into the room, half tripping over myself. A searing pain ran up my leg as I knocked into a desk by the door. "Ouchie." I whined, as I dropped my duffle bag and held my injured leg, hopping slightly. I then realized another person was in the room and I froze, a crimson blush spreading across my cheeks like a wave over sand. "Oops. Sorry. I'm Alexia. Nice to meet you." I said, raising my hand up to them, making sure no sparks were leaking out.

"I'm Penny. And don't worry. There are people on campus that are a lot stupider than that. It's okay to make mistakes, especially on your first day." THis girl was like my polar opposite. And actually, it was kind of cool. "I'm sorry but the heat doesn't work down here. It's lost on the idiots in the nearby dorms."

"Oh that's ok. It's seems like this place is great." I said, looking out the tinted windows to the rose garden down below. "It's gorgeous." I said, dropping my duffel onto the empty bed and wuickly made it. I had enough experience at unpacking, that it didn't take very long before I waqs unpacked and sitting on an alcove by the window, reading William Blake.

Running down the halls and being greet by my peers was like a dayly thing that i have been doing for, the first day of school. I flew through the halls until i came across my lab partners room smiling in happyness, the door was unlocked and i barged in and found penny on her bed. "PENNY. NEED HELP. SCIENCE HOMWORK." i souted as i quickly walked into the room..... this was what we did since we became classmates. Though i had noticed that she had another person in her room, a pretty girl at that, "HEY, you must be new? Im Mark Lovely nice to meet ya," i smiled and winked at her and extened my hand for her to shake it.

I raised an eyebrow at him weirdly. "Hi." I said, looking him up and down. He looked like the type I usually tried to avoid, the popular type. I then turned back to my book, ignoring his hand.

I got up and left as they went through their homework together to explore the campus.

"Um, ok." I said, walking beside Penny. The only reason I was agreeing was because Penny was her, and I atleast liked her.

I leaned over and whispered in Alexia's ear. "You should know that he is like the most popular guy in school. Everyone is after him."

"Ick, I knew that at a glance. When can I escape?" I asked, trailing behind Mark and whispering quietly. "I want to check out the garden." I whispered.

"That would be this way," i said and guided her toward the garden which was in the middle of the school, kinda like the outdoor area that students go to hang out durning lunch and after school. "Hey look my irises are growing well," i said as i smelled my favorite flower.

I walked away from them to the rose area, smelling the rich smell of soil and the sweet smell of roses. I found a yellow freedom wilting slightly. I grazed it's stem with my finger tips, and it stood up straight again as invisible sparks flew from my fingers to heal the plant.
