LITO: CALLED IN
“Lito Son!” Mrs Quora yelled.
I walked forward, into the white room.
Mr Fredrick was sitting down at his light brown desk, black leather chair, flies cluttered among the shelves and desk. His bald spot made himself look greasy, the lab coat not helping his complexion.
Mrs Quora was standing next to the desk.
She was a tall skinny lady who had her black hair in a bun, threatening black eyes and a lab coat.
“You're the special one? You look like a normal boy, not one with above average powers” he inspected.
“Well, remember sir, we can’t put the definition on powers, we don’t use our powers due to laws but someday the people with most power will rule the world” Mr Quora smiled.
Her smile was unnerving, as she flipped her pen across her fingers.
“You’ll be sent to the main home-”

“But my friends!” I snapped.
“You have no choice in this, you’ll see your friends eventually, either while coming back or when you're there, if your power is truly exceptional, hopefully while coming back” Mr Fredrick smiled, his greasy face glistening.
I wanted to stay in my home. I have three friends, why would I want to leave them? I clenched my fists, nodding patiently as anger boiled inside of me.
“Okay then, Lito please continue on with your normal day” Mrs Quora said, shooting another unnerving smile.
I walked out of the small room into the hallway.
Ediever was leaning against the hallway. Her white hair dangled to her shoulders.
Ediever wasn’t born blind but they made her blind. She can’t even use her power anymore.
“Hey Eds” I said, leaning across from her.
“Hey” she said, trying to find me in the room.
I held out my arm as she grabbed it.
“What did they say?”
“I’m going to the main home.”
I could see her face become pale.
“But most people don’t come back from that! Day is the only one too and she’s… changed” Ediever said in a very somber tone.
“Let’s get you to bed” I said, not wanting to talk about the subject.
I walked her to the girls' beds. Once she was in bed I went into the boys beds. I went into the top bunk -above Hope, who was sleeping- I tried to sleep. But couldn’t as nightmares consumed my mind.
