There was an awkward silence. Florica was in the car with her dad, a person he didn't normally hang around with, as they had a bad relationship.
She sighed, and had decided to start a conversation. "Sooo....hi?" She said to her father, hoping to start something and get some interesting answers.
At firs, complete silence. Then, a reluctant "Hello."
"Why are you driving me here, anyways?"
"Your....powers might cause trouble."
"Why? Do they have to be like that? Why would they cause trouble? Maybe take me to a different place where I can learn to control them, and you can go somewhere where you can learn parenting skills, instead of pretty much disowning me. I know that you won't have anything to do with me after I'm there for about 5 days."
A soft sigh came from his father.
Hey, at least the ride was short. A bit uncomfortable, but not too much arguing. That was a plus. One among the many minuses
Florica had gotten up just about 30 minutes ago. She got here yesterday, and she was actually excited. A bunch of kids, born different, like her. The idea was probably unheard of by other, regular humans. The ones that actually got to live fairly normal lives. Most normal humans might think of people like her lucky, like having special powers has no consequences. They don't really know how miserable it can be for some people. She was sure that there were some people that were appreciated for their powers in this world. She wished that it truly was like that for her.
But onto the present. Naturally, getting up about 30 minutes ago, she had rushed to get dressed. She had looked severely scruffy in the simple black t-shirt and pants that she had put on. She temporarily put her hair in a ponytail, and headed downstairs.
As she got down there, she already saw about 3 people at the table. She walked up to the table, and then said, "Hi."
