The next morning, Alex woke up feeling… different. His room looked the same, but there was a tingling sensation in his hands. At first, he thought it was just nerves, but then he noticed something strange—objects on his desk seemed to shift slightly when he focused on them.
Confused and a little scared, he tried touching his notebook. The pen rolled toward him, as if pulled by an invisible force. His heart pounded. Could this really be happening?
At school, Alex kept his hands hidden, afraid someone would notice. But small things kept happening. A pencil jumped into his backpack. A locker door opened by itself. Every time he felt scared or excited, the energy inside him surged.
During lunch break, he tried to control it. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Slowly, the paper on his desk lifted a few inches in the air. Alex gasped. He wasn't imagining things—he really had powers.
Just then, a shadow fell across the room. Alex opened his eyes and saw a stranger standing in the doorway, watching him with piercing eyes. The stranger smiled faintly.
"Finally," the stranger said. "I've been waiting for you, Alex."
Alex froze. Who was this person, and how did they know about his powers?
Cliffhanger: Alex must decide whether to trust the mysterious stranger—or run before it's too late.
