She is Shia Sheridan. She has no dreams. She doesn't know what she wants. No plans for life. But because of a mistake she owned up to, she ended up in a place she despised. The Titan Academy of Special Abilities. A school for those like her with special abilities. A place for extraordinary people she will never be like. Welcome to Academy of Special Abilities. "Because it takes more than power to be special."

Chapter 1 1

Chapter 1: Titan Academy

I looked at the massive castle atop the hill. A castle surrounded by tall walls with only the towers visible. The hill where it stood was encircled by forest and a river. This castle measured almost half the size of our town. It had stood in our town for thousands of years. It was the castle where those with special abilities like us, who had potential in life, studied.

"Someday, I'll set foot there."

I turned to Lucas beside me. I snorted. "Yeah, right. You'd have to go without food for a month just to afford a pair of that school's uniform."

All of us in this place, in the town of Hesperia, were born with special abilities. But not everyone gets to study or even step foot in that place. Only the fortunate ones who can afford to spend two million silver coins, or half a million gold coins, can enter Titan Academy.

"You're such a dreamer, Shia. Is it wrong to have dreams?" Lucas replied.

He lay on the grass next to me and gazed at the azure sky above. We were on one of the hills at the edge of town, facing the castle school on the opposite side of town.

Since we were kids, Lucas had dreamt of studying in that place. I still remember, ten years ago, he started saving so that when he turned fourteen, he could enter Titan Academy. But after two years of working every afternoon after classes, or every weekend, and even early mornings delivering newspapers, he realized that no matter what he did, he couldn't save half a million gold coins.

Lucas had super speed. He moved fast. Sometimes you wouldn't see him, just a gust of wind when he passed by. He easily finished any job given to him. So, I thought maybe he could save up and get into that school.

But then there was the reality of his many responsibilities. He had four siblings and a sickly mother. His father passed away when we were twelve. That was when he stopped saving and focused on providing for his younger siblings.

Me? I never dreamed of going there. Honestly, I have no dreams. I'll turn eighteen next month. I'll be legal. I could leave this town if I wanted. But the problem is I don't know where I'd go or what I want.

I have no family. It's been two years since my grandparents, who raised me, passed away. Since then, I've been living alone in the house they left. Sometimes I'll go to Lucas' place. Sometimes, especially when I have money, they'll eat at my house.

I have the special ability of enhanced senses and control. I can shut down any of my senses if I want to. I can tolerate pain, blinding light, and extreme noise. But mostly, I can sense danger even kilometers away.

In reality, my ability is pretty useless. It has its uses, but not the kind that can sustain a living. I wish I had an ability like Lucas'. I want an ability I can use to work and earn money.

After you finish the basic education system here in Hesperia, you're on your own. Education is free from seven to fourteen years old. From seven to ten, you need to learn how to read and write. Eleven to fourteen is dedicated to studying your special ability.

If you have the money, you can continue your education at Titan Academy. That's where you hone the power or ability you have. The Ministry favors graduates from there. They have guaranteed jobs in the future.

If you're like us, who only had free education, you settle for extra odd jobs. We're part of the informal workforce. No specific job. Only Titan graduates have the right to permanent positions. You only get a permanent position if you have connections higher up. Sometimes, it's even a struggle.

At fourteen, you can start working. But it's limited to Hesperia. When you turn eighteen, that's when you can leave the town to find work. The town doesn't care what you do.

"I wonder what they're doing at this hour," Lucas asked, yawning.

I snorted. "Probably showing off their wealth. That's where they excel. As if the rich kids really know how to fight like they pretend."

Lucas sat on the grass. "Whoa. You seem personally offended there."

I rolled my eyes. The way he talks, you'd think he's exempt from what I'm talking about. "I just don't like the way they look at us. Remember when they visited the town? The way they look at us, it's like they've seen dirt on their shoes. When in reality, they're the ones who look dirty."

Lucas laughed. "Maybe they're just not used to seeing kids their age working. You know some of them have been in there since they were seven."

"You're right," I muttered. "They're the kind of people who don't know reality. They have all these fancy clothes, soft beds, delicious food, none of which they worked for."

"Are you jealous?" Lucas raised an eyebrow.

I gave him a sharp look. "Jealous? Ha! I'm just annoyed. In this world, things aren't fair. But because they're surrounded by their own kind, they have no idea how lucky they are."

The wind gradually picked up on the hill. The sky's color changed. It went from blue to gray. In the distance, a few dark clouds started to rumble with thunder and lightning.

I stood up. "We better head down. I still need to finish my job for Mrs. Cello before going home."

I glanced at Lucas. He wasn't there anymore. I rolled my eyes when I heard his voice from below.

"Hey, Shia! You're really slow. Come on!" He waved with a smile. He really gets cocky about these things.

I dusted off my old pants before hurrying down the hill to catch up with him. I had no idea that that afternoon might be the last time I'd see my best friend smiling.

"Just stay by his side until he remembers everything." "No. I have money, Ylona. I don't need your money," I told her coldly. "Why are you so hard to get? We need your help because Hercules is finding you! I'm his fiance but he can't remember anything! why does he have to look for you and not me." Frustration filled her face "That's not my problem anymore. If this is all we're going to talk about, I don't want to. I'm leaving," I told them coldly. I stood up and walked towards the door. I was about to go out when I was stunned by what he said. "You don't want? Then just wait, Talitha. Your money will disappear." I clenched my fist because of what he said. I didn't look at them anymore and walked straight out. I didn't pay attention to the way they looked at me. this is the last step I will take again. I traveled again towards La Consalancion because I had a lot left to do. It's been a few days since we talked to Hercules' family. They didn't bother me again and that's a good thing. I followed him with a smile while he smiled as he waved the toy. Caitlin is not here because she has a job at the resort that I also own. After we broke up, I left and started my own business. "You want more?" I asked him smiling. He quickly nodded. "Lithaaaa!!!" I stopped eating Baby Hero when Leon, my gay friend, came. "Why, Leon?" I asked him in wonder "Mrs. Galvez was at the resort. I'm looking for you and have companions, rich people." I felt my heart beat because of what he said. Rich? Maybe it's not them. I took Baby Hero from the chair and lifted him up. "Alright, I'm going. Come with me." Mrs. Galvez is the owner of the land where my resort is located. I just held my breath before I got on Leon's tricycle. In less than a few minutes we arrived. I see Caitlin who is outside the resort and seems to be waiting for someone. when he saw me, his face seemed to light up and he quickly approached me. "Litha, good and here it is. Here are the parents of your ex-husband," he whispered to her. I bit my lip before I gave him Baby Hero. Take care of him first. I first kissed Hero who was now smiling at me. "Mrs. Galvez," I called the lady. It quickly stood up and looked at me. "You're here, Ms. Fernandez. I want to talk to you about the land that you haven't fully paid yet," she said. I didn't look at them and only at Mrs. Just Galvez. "Can you straight to the point, Mrs. Galvez?" He sighed first. "I'm selling it to the Guevara couple." "We have something to talk about, Mrs. Galvez," I said emphatically. "Business is Business, Ms. Fernandez." got up and left so the three of us were left. My fist clenched because of the anger I would feel. Heartless! "What are you doing this to me? You said I don't want to enter your world! Haven't you put me through enough?" I told them without emotion "Even me, I will never let you into my daughter's world, Talitha. But because my daughter needs you, I will do it for her, even though I hate it." "I hate it too, Ylona. I hate it because I became your mother-in-law," I told her without emotion. he quickly looked at me and glared at me. "You hate me but you're here in front of me now and you're forcing your son to care for me?" "Because he needs you, Talitha! I'll pay doub—" I was startled by a small hand resting on my thigh. I looked down and a smiling child was looking at me while he was presenting something. "M-Mom!" "Hero..."

"Where did that go?" I asked myself again. We're not friends but we're pretty close to each other, and I know he rarely goes out or leaves his office. "Maybe it's just there." I answered myself again and then searched. The whole library is spacious because this school is also large. Some students here are sons and daughters of business tycoons and politics so it's not surprising. I've almost gone around all the bookshelves with their backs to each other but I still don't have mika, so does Arries, it's amazing, especially since I feel different. Girls instinct matches. in the back I could not go so I went there when I heard someone talking, as if whispering. I know Mika and Arries, because I haven't seen anyone else yet and go home, especially since Mika is the only librarian here and I also saw Arries enter here. I was about to turn around to prove that they were when I heard a growl. "Ahh Arries maybe someone will see us here." The woman growled at Arries. My chest throbbed with excitement, "No! This cant be!" My brain objected. Arries was inside and if I'm not mistaken Mika was the woman who moaned earlier. my tears are already dripping, I can't accept, but my mind is trying to focus that it's not them, that other Aries and Mika are inside, but who did I fool? There are no other names for those two here who are our co-teachers, if there is a student it is very impossible. "Ohh shit! I really love you Mika." The man growled. There I stopped sobbing when Aries proved that my boyfriend was doing nonsense right inside the library, he was still the principal but he acted like a pig. I still accept that he hangs out outside but what he does right here inside the school is too much. To hurt myself even more and prove to myself that my boyfriend and my co-staff are doing the miracle, I peeked, I saw that Mika's uniform was almost open as well as Arries who was in a hurry to get down and remove the belt and open the zipper of the dress. I tried not to make any noise, during the time that Arries and I were together I didn't even notice anything strange about him, he was as tender as the first time we were so it was hard to accept for me. We've been together for four years but I think that's not enough when it comes to talking about the flesh. the entire staff as well as the students knew the relationship between the two of us, others were expecting the wedding we were going to but it wasn't. that's why he hasn't processed yet, he already has someone else, I didn't pay attention to that before because maybe he just had a plan but this is the answer. anger took the place of the love I felt here, so I hurriedly took my cell phone to take a picture of them just in case I could use him. To the two of them. It's bad if it's bad but I'm just hurt too. it's a good thing they were so greedy for each other that they didn't even notice my presence, but that's good too. Slowly I took the steps towards the exit door and when I thought I was far away from them I slowly ran out. I don't care if it creates a sound, even if they chase me they won't see me anymore. They are also far from the door so I have a strong feeling that they will not be able to chase me. the gate show is still shedding my tears, it's a good thing the sandal I used is only 2 inches high so it's not hard for me to run. Fortunately, there were no students, staffs, only the guard was there but I didn't pay attention when I heard him greet me. I just wanted to leave, get stuck in that place.
