Eva and Trixie thought it would be fun to walk around with the older girls, but it turned out that Tianna and her friends just walked ahead of them, gossiping about other people at their school. Tianna would turn around regularly, and make sure they were still following them, but she was completely engrossed in what Grayson had to tell them about what somebody said at lunch about somebody else. Trixie and Eva had stopped paying attention to the older kids after the first ten minutes.

“She does not have supernatural powers,” Britney shrieked and Eva was suddenly ready to pay attention again.

Grayson shrugged. “She said that when she was in New York this summer she went to some fortune teller in Chinatown and that woman said she would do great things and that she had some deep inner power or something.”

“Rachel is so full of it,” Tianna scoffed. “Deep inner power does not mean supernatural power. Did she actually say the word supernatural?” she asked her friend.

“Those were her exact words,” Grayson assured his friends “She said she could feel something growing inside her after the visit with the fortune teller.”

“With all the time she spends with Tommy Pierson, I bet I know what’s growing inside her,” Britney said under her breath. “She’ll say anything to get attention.”

“You know Rachel.” Grayson raised his eyebrows. “She’s so convinced she’s got something bigger and better coming to her that she’ll exaggerate every detail of her life to prove it. I can’t believe she convinced her mom to take her to New York anyway.”

“I heard she begged her mom to go there to look at colleges, but Rachel totally hates school. I mean, hates it,” Britney added.

Tianna laughed. “If it means living in New York, she’d go to college. She might even do some actual homework. But she’d have to get accepted first.”

“Maybe there is some supernatural powers college she can go to,” Grayson said with a laugh. “The entrance essay might be waved in favor of a spell or two.”

“She doesn’t have powers! Nobody does!” Britney insisted.

“She has the power to annoy me,” Tianna told her friends.

Grayson nodded his head. “She annoys me every day. I can’t wait until this year is over and I don’t have to see her face every single day.”

They continued walking and the conversation moved on to somebody else, but Eva’s mind was still wrapped around the thought of someone claiming to have supernatural powers. What if Rachel did? What if it was true? It was obvious that Tianna, Britney, and Grayson laughed off the notion. They didn’t even consider that there was a possibility the girl could be telling the truth. Their conversation was another reminder that she’d be wise to keep her personal information to herself. Nobody would believe her anyway. They’d laugh at the suggestion.

But a part of Eva wanted to know what her friend thought about it. “Do you think that people with some kind of power actually exist?”

Trixie looked at her, confused.
