My Awesome New Power
Then I catch a word from my mom. A word that sends a chill up my spine.'...Rome...'
Instantly I'm furious.
"Duncan SHUT THE HADES UP!"
He ignores me again. And for the very last time.
I'm helpless. What can I do to stop the mower? I watch furiously as he mows on, oblivious. My mom's going to hang up any second now, and I won't get another chance. Talking to her once was risky as it was.
Anger builds up inside of me, fury so intense it's a miracle I don't go up in flames. Then something happens that I catch out of the corner of my eye.
Something's moving of its own accord. A large, discarded baseball bat. Coach Hedge probably left it there earlier. And its moving right over Duncan's head....
Suddenly it drops with sickening speed and accuracy onto Duncan's head. There's a loud CRUNCH! and he falls to the ground. With my newfound telekineticness (for you guys who aren't descendants of Athena, LOOK IT UP) I turn off the stupid thing.
Then I hear what my mom was saying.
"Ella, we're going to Rome this summer."
My stomach turns over and dies.
"Rome...uh, Georgia?" I ask hopefully.
"No. Rome Italy. I... I hope that isn't a problem?"
I think that's when I fainted.
