I stood up from the side of my bed and sighed. Who could that have been? And I'm sure it's going to be awkward when we do meet. I walked around my room, taking in everything. The soft blue walls, the old bookcase which contained a few old books, and the rustic white chair that sits in the corner. It was a perfect room.
My daydreaming was interrupted by a knock on my door. "Hello? Mae" I heard towards the door and opened it. I saw a floating hat and I knew who it was "Hi I was just telling you that supper is ready now" I nodded my head, and his hat disappeared down the stairs. I quickly walked into the bathroom and tied my dark hair into a ponytail. I closed the bathroom door and headed towards the direction of the loud noises. The buzzing conversations led me towards two large doors, this must be the dining room. I took a deep breath before pushing the doors open.
All conversations stopped and eyes were fixed on me. "Children, I would like you to meet miss Mae Lewis. She will be staying with us. I trust that you will all make her feel welcome." She smiles and looks around at the kids. "Please take a seat" I looked around to all the empty seats and sat in between a boy with blond hair and fancy clothes, and a girl with fiery hair. I untucked the chair and took a seat folding my arms in front of me. "Ok on with the introductions. Mae could you start please." As you already know I'm Mae, I'm 16 and that's about it" I quickly sat back down, not fancying the attention too much.
"The thing is, I don't get why she would want to live here when she can enjoy her perfect life in the normal world" A boy with dark hair sarcastically says. This boils anger inside of me. I can feel my eyes burning, already realising they are turning red. "My life isn't perfect" I say slamming my hand on the table "Enoch, that is no way to treat someone. And Mae we need to work on your manners" The boy named Enoch storms out of the dining room, not even eating. The girl with fiery hair next to me speaks up "don't worry about Enoch, he's always been like this" she sighs and looks back to her plate. "Oh my gosh what happened to your eyes?" A girl with two braids asks. "That's my peculiarity. My eyes change when my emotions do"
"Ok children could you please introduce yourselves. Oh and we'll save the peculiarities for later" she smiles and sits back in her chair.
A girl with blond hair speaks up "I'm Emma and I'm lighter than air"
"I'm Millard and as you can see I'm invisible"
"I'm Olive and I set fire to anything I touch"
"I'm Hugh and I have bees living inside of me"
I kind of zone out of the rest, but I'll find out their names later. Right now all I care about is who wrote me that note.

Just wondering does anyone like these collages that I'm making or is it just a waste of time?
Also I will try and update more often
