Kacela wandered around the outer edge of the campus. She felt better after leaving Avery and the other boy. She didnt get to learn his name. But it didnt matter so much. She was sure she would meet him again eventually. She had a strange feeling about it. It was like every one she met so far had something important hidden in them. Just as kacela did too. Her dreaded shame and her secret power. She was afraid of it and didnt know how to use it yet really. It only emerged when she was emotional or distressed. Which came together often. Maybe one day she could master her strange power.
She pondered how she worked. Was the power something that manifested as her emotions. If so, being able to control those emotions would be useful. Kacela thought her self to be able to control what she felt quiet well, but she knew that anything could happen. Kacela was only able to produce the light and bend it for now. Besides becoming light itself when she grew angry. And that scares her. To change her physical being into photons and become energy. It was perplexing and strange.
During her thinking she stopped. And again came into the physical world as her thoughts shut off and she became attuned to the natural place around her. She drank in the world around her with a smile. The place was still moist with dew. She kneeled down in her apparent solitude and observed a flower before her. She reached out and caressed its leaves and petals. Enjoying the smell of the flower. A normal person might pick it and keep it with them. But kacela preferred to return to the living flower for months instead of picking it and taking it with her. She enjoyed the smell of life.
Then kacela stood up and continued to wander. Saying a silent goodbye to the flower. It's yellow petals waving back in the slight wind. She kept away from where she could hear the noise of people. Kacela stalked around silently learning the campus by foot. She slightly hopes to meet more kind people. But at her pace of one at a time.
