Lonely and Bored

Skye entered the large room and sat down in an empty couch. She glanced around the lounge to see various students practicing their powers. It was nice to be back in the familiar surrondings of Starlight Academy. Two years in a boarding school with normal kids can make you feel like a freak. The fifteen-year-old, though happy to be back, was feeling extremely lonely. She had yet to see a familiar face. She had come to the lounge in hope of making new friends. This is going to be harder than I thought. Almost everyone already had friends, and were paying no attention to her.

Skye, with nothing better to do, began lifting the cushion up and down with her mind. There has got to be something better to do she reasoned.

Skye looked curiously at the sight. There was a girl about her age with a lizard perched on her head. She blinked. Yep, a lizard.

"Hello there, you look new. I'm Enelya, and that little lizard up there is Archimedes."

Skye grinned back. "Sort of. I was here for a year when I was thirteen, but I had to leave. Long story." She glanced at the lizard, and continued, "By the way, I'm Skye. Cute lizard."

Skye couldn't help smiling. "Thanks. I guess I'm okay..." she began. "What are you're powers, anyway?" she asked curiously. "In case you didn't notice, I can move things with my mind. And I can fly, hence the name Skye."
