It seemed like more of a curse. My parents don’t have powers. When I was just starting to get used to high school, must’ve been sixteen, I started having terrible acne. I didn’t think much of it, either I could find a cream to fix it or I would grow out of it. But it just kept getting worse. One day it turned green and scaly, and I stayed home from school. After lunch, someone from Hammel Institute showed up to tell me it wasn’t acne. I had powers.
There’s nothing fun about leaving your home, but I made do. I traded Massachusetts for Pilot Ridge and ended up making a few friends. Hammel trained me and fed me and housed me, and yeah well, raised me better than my parents. They never did come out here to visit, not even once. I always ended up going home for holidays. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them. I often wonder how they feel, not seeing their only son. I know I feel betrayed.
But Hammel, what a great school. The people were always so nice to me. It was the only place I could go to class looking like a freak because so did everyone else. The split tongue sometimes grossed people out, but not even my skin could keep people away. I really flourished there. My self confidence grew. I dated a couple girls, they didn’t last though. I joined the soccer team. I did well in classes, and after I graduated I caught a photographer’s attention with my face. My real face.
I learned how to turn the snake skin off at school. But every once in a while, just to get a girl’s attention, I flash her my vertical pupils. I can do other fun party tricks, like grow a small tail, or really long fingernails. You know, because that’s everyone’s dreamboat.
You can’t be a model and then break out with green skin, so thick and scaly you can’t go near anyone because they think you have leprosy, that, and you can’t feel their touch. It’s a side effect I can’t seem to get past. It’s all in the skin. But I don’t usually let the monster out around others, just when I get home and feel the need. My skin has to shed every third or fourth month. Girls think they have it bad with their periods, well, that’s nothing compared to this. Have to stay home for a week just to slough the stuff off.
Now don’t get me wrong, I like the attention of the camera, I just don’t want to be caught off guard. Ever. If I’m not in control of what I’m doing, I feel on edge, and that’s when my skin starts to turn. This power is completely useless. I just needed to learn how to keep it under wraps. Some people at Hammel had such cool powers, like actually being able to talk to lizards and things. But not mine. I just get to look like one when I feel like it. Other than Halloween, it’s a pretty stupid power.
I’ve taken two years off to work in modeling, which hasn’t been easy but it’s had it’s perks. Free clothes, seeing your face in magazines. But I can’t move up, because well, I’m only getting older. I haven’t quit, not completely. Just for now, you know? I want to go back to school, start in college and get a degree before my face starts to wrinkle. More than usual.
I never left Pilot Ridge. I can’t now, it has too many memories. Mass just doesn’t feel like home anymore. I might take on a couple modeling gigs here and there, but right now, I want to do well in school. I only have one life to live and I want to do it right.
