Today is the first day of the first semester and all the new students have arrived. Dr. Andre sat in his office finishing some paperwork at a record-breaking pace. His super intelligence made documents like child's play to him. He had found a whole new set of students to join and he needed to finally introduce himself to them. He had recruited a few of them but not all. He left his office and headed to the front of the school where all the students were waiting for the start of the new day.
"Welcome to The School of Special Skills and Talents! I am Dr Andre Saunders, principal and founder of the school. Everyone here has one ability or another and all of you will learn to control and use your abilities for the rest of your life. Some of you may even one day become teachers here if you want. This will always be the best place for you to be able to learn and see things you could only imagine. One by one please come up to me and I can give you your schedule for this first term." He said as he stood near the front door wondering which student would come up to him first.

Persephone stood in the crowd of students feeling her shyness getting the better of her suddenly. She was normally a very determined person but seeing all the other students and knowing each of them had their own abilities made her nervous. She was worried people would judge her for being able to control fire, everyone seemed to fear her when they found out. She was anything but a bad person. She waited in line to meet with the principal making sure to be at the very end.
