Lila’s POV
“Lila! Are you okay? What happened?” Becca asked as she caught up with me. I was walking toward the
student lounge after I left Headmaster Prescott’s office and my head was still whirling from all the
information that was just given to me. I looked at Becca who stared back at me with concern in her
eyes. I went to open my mouth to answer but then the crackling of the campus speakers stopped me.
“Good afternoon, students. This is Headmaster Tiffany Prescott. I know you are all wound up after the
events that unfolded earlier today, and I wanted to personally apologize to each of you for not realizing
something was going on and putting an end to it right away. Going forward we are going to be putting
in some extra security to ensure that nothing like this happens again. The school counselor is also
opening her doors to any students for the next couple of weeks so you can see her without an
appointment. My doors, along with my fellow board members’ doors, will also be open to anyone
needing some extra guidance in these unforeseen weeks. I assure you that the issue at hand has been
dealt with and nothing like this will ever happen again. I’d like to remind students that using their
abilities on one another is forbidden and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If you or
anyone you know is in fact using their abilities on their peers, I advise that you come forward. We will be
looking into all students with abilities and if we find you are using your abilities dishonorably, we will be
forced to take measures. I know it’s been a long day for many of you so I’m canceling classes for the
rest of the day and I suggest each of you get some rest to recoup. Dinner will be served per usual in the
dining hall at 5 pm.” She paused for a moment; only allowing the light buzzing of the speaker to roam
around the campus ground. Becca and I stood, staring up at the sky as if Headmaster Prescott’s face
was there. “Also, let me be the first to congratulate Lila for winning the election and becoming the firstever President of the Student Committee. First thing Monday morning Lila will begin her duties and her
first meeting with be held Monday at 2 pm. If anyone wants to join the committee, please see Lila. With
that being said if anyone has any questions or concerns, please speak with your assigned advisors, or
speak with me directly. Thank you and have a very blessed day.” The speakers cut out and the entire
campus was completely silent. I couldn’t even hear anyone breathing. After what felt like an eternity,
everybody erupted into cheers and applause. Becca was the first to hug me tightly with a large smile
spread across her face. “Congratulations Lila!!” She cooed excitedly. “I’m so happy for you!!!” Others
who were passing by also stopped to give me quick hugs and congratulate me. I smiled at them and
hugged them back, pretending to be as excited as I could be. Don’t get me wrong, I was very pleased to
be in charge of the student committee. It was exactly what I wanted, but I didn’t like how it happened. I

only won by default because Sarah cheated and got disqualified. I also couldn’t seem to get Scott out of
my head and all that he’s been going through these last few months because of Sarah. Then, another
thought popped into my head and my heart fell directly into my stomach as I quickly turned to Becca
who was chatting with a few other students about how excited they were for me. “Where’s Brody?” I
asked her. She frowned at me and glanced at the student lounge. “He said he was going to sit in there
until your meeting was over,” she said. I didn’t say anything more, I turned away and ran right into the
student lounge where I was met with a crowd of students who were all cheering for me. I smiled at
them, trying ot get past them, but they wouldn’t let me go any further without hugs and praises. As
much as I appreciated it, I really needed to see Brody. Thankfully, he appeared amongst the crowd and
though I could see the worry and sadness lingering in his eyes, he met me with a large grin and opened
his arms out for me to walk into. “I’m so happy for you,” he said as he tightened his hold on me. “Thank
