Mallory's Pov
My precious hair! I thought again as the person released my hair. I turned around to scowl at the person until it turned out to be Kelvin.
"Why did you pull my hair?" I yelled
"You are sitting on my.........." I stood up abruptly and I looked at the chair.
I saw a very shiny pencil and I picked it up.
"You pulled my hair because of this?" I asked as I scoffed.
"Don't be too proud of that fire you have for a hair."
"Whaaaat?!" I looked at Max angrily and he ran out. I looked at Kelvin again.
"It is even broken!" He whined as he started crying.
"Will you shut up?" I yelled out of frustration.
"How can I shut up? That was my favourite pencil. I won it in class." He whined again
"Happy soothing, Mal." Max called from his room and I gritted my teeth.
"I'd you get you chocolates with a new pencil."
"When?"
"Right now!"
He cleaned his tears quickly "Deal!"
Eleven year old Kelvin is easy to soothe with chocolates. I chuckled as I went into my room to put on my disguise. I need to go out in disguise because I don't want to be taunted by the rich kids in the neighbourhood who attend the same school with me.
Fake skin!
Fake hair!
And nerd-glasses!
I put them in place and I sighed
"Disguised Mallory."
I went out of my room and I took Kelvin's hand in mine.
"We'd be right back." I called as we went out of the house.

Jacob's Pov
I want to explore!
I just need to avoid all the bodyguards in the house.
Well, I think I'd go into disguising.
I went into mom's room to ask for the necessary things.
Mom is a queen of disguise herself.
After everything, I had a new face. I didn't tell mom I was going out of the house, she would freak out. I told her I wanted to scare the staffs in the house and she giggled.
I passed through the underground passageway and I came out at the back gate.
I opened it quietly and I slipped out.
Finally!
I have not gone too far when I heard people shouting
"A fire! A house! A baby!"
I looked up and I saw a raging fire.
I moved closer to the crowd and I stood there, shaking.
What a poor child!

Mallory's Pov
I dragged Kelvin along with me to the crowd gathered in front of the burning house.
For the love of God, where is the fire service? I looked around frantically and that was when I saw a boy, about my age, shaking.
I chuckled as I walked towards him with Kelvin.
I tapped him gently on the shoulder and he turned to face me.
"Instead of shaking, why don't you vacate this place?" I said gently to him and he smiled.
"I don't want to. I'm shaking because of the baby inside."
Did his voice just sound familiar and also distinctive?
I looked towards the house and I stared. The baby was wrapped in a very thick cloth and she is in her cradle, sleeping peacefully.
"My baby is in there!" The mother began to scream as her grocery bags fell to the ground.
Without thinking, I pulled up my hoodie and I rushed towards the house.
"Hey! What are you doing?" He called after me.

Jacob's Pov
What sort of girl would do this?
I looked at the boy she was with, he had chocolate stains all over his mouth. I tried not to puke.
"Is she your sister?"
He nodded. "Mallory is like that." He whispered as he stared at the house.
He is not even scared!
"Hold on a minute! Did you say Mallory?"
"Yes." He said as he shrugged.
Mallory?
Why does she have the same name with the violent monkey in school?
All of a sudden, I saw her walking out of the house with the baby in her arms.
"Oh my God!" I whispered.
The mother of the child ran towards her and she collected her baby. The crowd began to clap and cheer. The fire service appeared with their vehicle.
I looked at Mallory and my imagination turned her to be a woman in an action movie.
My imagination made her "Wonder Woman."
I love this girl!
Bravery, courage, I admire it all. She came towards me after everyone had greeted her and I was ready to introduce myself until she grabbed her brother's hand and they took off.
Why is she running?
"Hey, wait!" I called after her but she was out of sight already.
Who runs like that?
•
Mallory's Pov
I ran away because I have exposed my powers already.
An ordinary girl won't be able to enter that raging fire and come out alive, so, I have exposed a bit.
I'm very sure it would be on the news right now.
Thank goodness dad does not know me this way.
"Secret!" I said as I placed a finger on my lips, he nodded.
"Secret!"
I pulled off the mask and the hair and I kept them in my coat. I removed the coat because it had the smell of smoke.
"Stains on my face?"
He nodded again.
I spat into my hand and I rubbed my face.
"Eeeeeew!" Kelvin coughed and I glared at him.
"How do I look now?"
"Better....." He rolled his eyes.
I looked back and I bit my lips.
Who was that shouting "hey wait"
I shrugged.
I picked my belongings and I opened the door.

Kacie's Pov
"Dad, what have I done to deserve this?" I yelled out of anger. "I skip school now because of you. This is not fair, dad. It isn't."
"Kacie........." He called my name gently and I raised my hand.
"I am still talking. If you ever hit mom again, I'd report you to the cops. Just because you lost your fortune doesn't mean another door won't be opened for you. I really hate you,dad." I stormed out of his presence angrily.
I opened the door to my bedroom, I went in and I locked it. I crouched to the floor as my body shook with tears.
This isn't fair at all!
Anytime he beats mom, I have to stay back to take care of her, thus, missing school.
I miss Mallory and her crazy stunts.
Since dad has lost a great amount of his fortune in a gamble, I don't think he has the resources to see me though at Jewels High.
I'm gonna miss Mallory and her craziness.
Mallory is just a teenage girl but the powers within her makes her look extraordinary. I know this about her.
There's nothing we don't know about each other. Thinking about her alone, my heart feels happy.
Her powers has found their way to me again.
I smiled as I closed my eyes.
Life is really good when the right people are next to you.
