Chapter 1:

"Summer Camp"

The Darkest Minds


"you're gonna get assigned to a cabin than go over to their table and wait for the bus okay? ok." My mom said to me. "I didn't even wanna come here..why am I being forced and Akemi gets to stay home? It's not fair." "Well Your sister doesn't have problems making friends plus she has pageants to go to all summer she can't be rolling around in dirt getting fat." "I know my mom called me a loner on purpose but it's true I can't get mad she usually picks on me calling me emo though I guess there's a first time for everything." "Hotaru Kurayami! "Your in my cabin Robins' I can hear the camp counselor say. I sit down next to a girl with blond hair and she started asking questions instantly" Hey hey! Isn't this exciting where the first campers at this camp wanna be friends? call me sakura that's my first name!" She keeps asking a bunch of stuff excitedly "First shut up you're being annoying were not friends either so don't go around telling people we are I'm forced to be here so just don't talk to me" I reply." "Well miss emo anime girl we're gonna be best friends so you shut up," She says smiling as if I just told her she's pretty. "I hate girls like you" She replies saying "I hate girls like me too but we're not all that different" "We couldn't be the same no matter how hard we try," I say. Your so silly we all have powers and were at this experimenting camp so were the same" Experimenting camp? You must be crazy I'm, not some shounen protagonist with super op powers" "You don't know that" She winked. "ALRIGHT EVERYONE LINE UP THE BUS IS HERE" This camp counselor can get loud asta has competition.

Since campers have 1 free hour to look around the camp I try to talk with the annoying girl but I get dragged away by a girl with glasses she was sitting by the annoying girl in the gym place waiting for the bus. "Hey, when I tell you this you're gonna be confused but that quote on quote annoying girl is my sister and she never talked to anyone so if you keep being mean to her I'm gonna break every bone in your body, "Glasses girl said concerned about her sister. "Glasses girl...your sister was talking about an experiment camp do you know what she was talking about," I say. she sighed "I can't tell you directly because there always watching they all hear you this camp is surrounded by cameras and crazy people my sister's airhead girl personality is an act she's actually smart and I'm the dumb sister either way everything she told you is right they wanna stop powers from appearing over the world" I didn't see her open her mouth and say that did she go in my mind and tell me that? So everyone here has some kind of power..? I said. "Don't say stuff out loud they can hear" She says in my brain. "She ripes a piece of paper out of a notebook on a picnic table by us and a pencil then hands it to me" "How do you find out what your power is I'm almost 11 and I've never had a popup or anything," I write and give it to her. "Honestly I don't know how and when people get their powers mines randomly come," She said in my mind. then her eyes widen. "D-D-don't Forget this!" She said in my mind quickly before running off.
