Hey! First story and chapter so sorry if it's bad, please leave a review if you want this story to continue as it's request based! If there aren't any requests for a week after posting a chapter, I make up my own.

Point of view for this story is...Moonwatcher!

I do NOT I repeat DO NOT own wings of fire.

"Mom?" Moon asked, "I know I have to go back to school...but why this one?" Moon gestured to the crowd of teenagers outside of Jade Academy. A public school, no uniform, light dress code, and around thirty-five students with it's grand opening. Among the high-schoolers gathered near the front gates, Moon could see dyed hair, many different skin colors, and different assortments of clothes. What she heard though, was insane.

From inside of her mother's car, she could still hear the loud thoughts of all the other people there, thoughts like,

"Seriously, that guy's clothes are way too colorful and bright." and

"Come on, just open up the gates already, my legs hurt!" and then there were others that rang even more painfully in Moon's head, like,

"I'm so excited to be here! I'll make new friends and even get their phone numbers so we can hang out after school!" It was all pretty overwhelming for her first day there.

"Moon, I'm sorry," her mother said, "but I've tried sending you to a private school, and you said it didn't help with your...condition. Maybe here you can control it and make new friends!" Moon highly doubted that would happen. Most of the people here seemed so friendly, but mostly towards the others who were friendly. At former schools, she'd heard what others thought of her, that she was weird, private, and secretive. It didn't help that some of the middle schoolers were less...sensitive about how they let out those thoughts.

But then again, who would want to be friends with a freak like her?

She was extremely pale, pale to the point where she looked chalk white. It clashed with the clothes she preferred to wear, all black, usually a hoodie over a t-shirt and black skinny jeans. She kept to herself, not because she was depressed, but because being around too many people gave her a headache because of the one thing that made her special.

She could read minds.

It was like in some of the fairy tales that her mother read to her when she was young. At first, she wanted to use it like in the stories, helping others with all their problems. That was until she realized how terrible a gift it was, it gave her a headache to listen to a group of people and when she was alone with one person, she could hear everything that they hated about her.

"Mom, I wanna go home." Moon blurted out.

"Moon." her mother said in a soft warning tone.

"Okay, I'll...I'll go. I can come back during the Christmas break, right?"

"If you want to."

"Alright." she opened the car door, and reluctantly stepped out.

"I'm sorry, Moon, but I'm worried about you, stay safe, my little Moonbeam." Moon smiled at her mother as she thought that. Moon closed the door behind her, and started walking down the steps to Jade Academy, where she would be staying for the school year.

"Hello new students!" A female voice over the intercom shouted, blaring in their ears, Moon stopped for a second in her tracks, shocked by the sudden blast of noise in her ears, rather than her head, "Um...Tsunami? You don't have to shout, there's a microphone right next to you." A male voice reminded the female one, "Oh right, sorry Starflight. Well, anyway, welcome students! This is Jade Academy, as you probably already know. I hope that you can meet new friends and learn new things! Wow this script is making me sound like Sunny. Meet Fatespeaker at the front desk for your dorm room assignment, you'll be paired with one or two people of the same gender as yourself. Today is just getting to know the campus. Walk around! Explore! There's a board on the right of Fatespeaker's desk that lets you know who your group is. We tried to pair you with people we thought appropriate, so have fun!" As the intercom crackled off, Moon could hear the male voice from earlier saying,

"Wow, we screwed up royally." There was silence for a second, with some wondering what had just happened, then conversation started again. As the students were chatting about what had just happened, the gates slowly opened, and the people funneled in. Moon caught up to everyone, and as she filed in, the gates closed behind her, trapping her inside.

Stop thinking about this place like a prison, it's a school, a good place.

There was a line in front of her which looked pretty long, so she pulled her phone out of her pocket and started playing some apps on it to try and block out the other's thoughts. When it was, she hurriedly put it away and was greeted to the sight of a young woman holding a sheet of paper.

"Hi! I'm Fatespeaker, and you're Moonwatcher, right?" she said excitedly.

"Umm...yes." Moon timidly replied, slightly scared by the woman's enthusiasm.

"I read your mind to figure it out!" She joked, "Well, you're the last one in line, so who else would you be?"

"Okay." said Moon, partially disappointed. If this woman could read minds, then she could help Moon to block out some people's thoughts.

"Well, looks like you're in dorm C-four and roommates with two girls, Kinkajou and Carnelian." Oh great, she had two roommates, hopefully they'd be quiet.

Moon went to her dormitory to find no one there. She found this surprising, considering she was the last one to check in. She looked around and took it in. There were three beds, one in every corner that wasn't for the door. Next to each bed was a nightstand with two drawers, and a desk on the far wall, which had three drawers. One bed had midnight black covers, one had rainforest green covers, and one had fiery orange covers. She chose the black ones, jumping and flopping down on the bed. It was pretty comfortable, actually, she doubted she would have trouble sleeping.

"Hey!" a voice shouted from outside. Moon opened the door a little to peek outside, watching the first fight at the school happen barely ten minutes after it opened.

"Why are you shouting at me?" another voice yelled back, Moon opened the door to see that it belonged to a small boy with greenish-blue hair, and turquoise clothes. Moon also saw who he was yelling at, a tall girl with fiery orange hair and reddish-orange clothes, she also had a furious expression, all aimed at the little boy.

"What are you doing in the girls' dormitories you weirdo!?" she practically screamed.

"Hey! If someone makes a wrong turn, that's no reason to shout at them!" he retorted, this only seemed to make the girl angrier.

"Pay more attention next time!" she hollered, then muttered under her breath, "You dimwit."

"Hey, what's going on?" someone asked. Many people turned their heads, and Moon could tell who it was before they started whispering by their thoughts.

"Ooh! It's Clay!"

"He looked at me!"

"Will he talk to me?" He approached the two high-schoolers glaring at each other. Clay was really tall, in around his mid-twenties. He had dark brown hair, a brownish chocolate tint to his skin, and wearing a simple brown shirt and sweatpants.

"What's going on? I heard shouting." he said.

"He's in the girls dormitories." said the girl dryly.

"I took a wrong turn!" the boy protested.

"All right, Pike, your dorm is on the left from the courtyard, not the right. It's okay, but try to calm down. Carnelian, if someone takes a wrong turn, don't make them feel terrible about it." Clay said, trying to resolve everything. Carnelian grumbled for a second about being unfair, and then stomped right into the room that Moon was in. Woah woah woah! What did she do? Why was she...wait...the red covers...she was her roommate, wasn't she.

"Umm...hi?" Moon said timidly. Carnelian flopped onto the bed with the red sheets and let out a short, mad hello. Moon opened the door, wanting to get away from the fuming girl next to her, when a rainbow ran into her.

"Oh! Sorry! Hi! I'm Kinkajou! This is SO awesome! School is the best! What's your name? You were in there, so are we roommates? If so, awesome!" Moon was overwhelmed by the small freshman in front of her. Kinkajou had a rainbow for hair, each streak a different color. Her tank top was a bright neon pink, and her jeans and neon green. Everything about her was all smiles and excitement. Wow, school was going to be interesting.

"Hi, I'm Moonwatcher, but please just call me Moon." Moon told Kinkajou.

"All right! Hi Moon!" Kinkajou replied enthusiastically.

"What is wrong with you two? I've got one roommate who's super loud, and one who's super quiet." Carnelian asked from her bed.

"I think that Tsunami told me that there were some school supplies in the night stands." said Kinkajou, calmer. Moon could tell that she wanted to be friends with Carnelian, so better not be too loud. As Kinkajou was fumbling with the drawers on her nightstand, Moon opened the closet to see it sectioned into three. One for each student there, she guessed. After that, Moon went to her own nightstand and opened it. Inside was a black backpack with a picture of the moon on it, a pencil case already filled with pens, pencils, and erasers, some textbooks, a student ID card, and a laptop. She organized her backpack until the front pocket had her pencil case and her ID card, and the back pocket with her books and room for her new laptop. She then took the new laptop and sat on the bed, curious.

"You got a laptop, too?" Kinkajou asked.

"Yeah, I have no idea what the model is, though."

"Based on how they all have their own special designs, I'm guessing that Starflight made them himself." Moon mused for a second on how a blind young man could make thirty five computers, but remained silent. Carnelian was silent, and hadn't opened her drawers, either. Moon looked on the back of her laptop, and the design was almost exactly the same as the one on her backpack. She flipped it open, and went to the desktop screen. Programs for school stuff, like graphing, documenting, and presentations. Normal computer stuff, like the trash can and the Internet. Then a couple of games that she'd never heard of. Moon fiddled around for a bit on the settings until the background was of a starry night, and everything was organized. She tried out one of the games, which was a puzzle in which she was able to choose five creatures and a helper, then you matched orbs that were six different colors to both attack and heal. Honestly, it was quite fun! She was already on the seventh dungeon when Kinkajou said,

"Well, I've got my laptop set up, wanna get something to eat?" Moon saved the game and put down her laptop,

"Sure thing, Carnelian, do you wanna come?" asked Moon, trying to sound braver than she was about asking that question. Carnelian let out a grumbly no, and Moon dashed out of the room, shortly followed by Kinkajou.

"So her name's Carnelian? I wanted to ask, but didn't want to seem rude, so I just waited until you said it, because you seemed like you knew already." Kinkajou said.

"Oh, Okay." Moon replied, a little wowed by the fact that Kinkajou wanted to be friends with Carnelian so much. Together they got some fruit at the cafeteria, where Moon learned that Kinkajou was strictly vegetarian, by her own decision, not anyone else's, luckily there was no one else there, so there weren't too many thoughts barging around in her head. They wandered around campus, getting an idea for where everything was. They stopped at the library, where Starflight confirmed that before an explosion made him blind, he had made a computer, and a company helped them to make more of them for the students. Moon could use her student ID like a library card, and immediately she rented a book called Void in the Past, which looked pretty interesting.

It was getting pretty late it the evening, around eight. Moon and Kinkajou had mapped the campus so that they wouldn't get lost, and they'd met Tsunami, the gym coach, and Sunny, the academics teacher.

"Hey Moon?" asked Kinkajou.

"Yeah?"

"You've seemed like everytime someone walks past, you get a headache, is there anything wrong?"

"No, I'm just feeling a little sick, sorry." Moon lied. A growing feeling of worry engulfing her. What if her new friend found out? She'd hate her. Stay secret, stay hidden, stay safe. That's what she needed to do.

"Oh, okay. You wanna head back to the dorm?"

"Sure, I bet you that Carnelian's still grumpy."

"You're on." They raced back to the dormitories to find, sure enough, that Carnelian was still moping. Moon smirked at Kinkajou, luckily they hadn't bet any money, as neither of them had any with them. Moon grabbed a phone charger from her pocket, and put her phone on charge as she looked at the schedule for school.

Eight AM - Classes begin (Small group)

Nine AM - Second period

Ten AM - Third period

Eleven AM - Fourth period

Noon - Lunch

One PM - Fifth period

Two PM - Sixth period

Three PM - Classes end

Nine PM - Lights out

Moon set her phone alarm for seven in the morning, and jumped into her bed. She clicked her lamp off, and saw Kinkajou do the same. A couple of minutes later, before she fell asleep, Moon realized that she'd forgotten to wish to go home all day.
