Chapter 1 The beginning

A strange day

 

Chapter 1

 

The sensation going through his body that Timothy felt was something undescribable even for a bright boy like him.He felt this wavelike surge starting from the palm of his hand and spreading to every part of his body in seconds.In his mind were stored a number of abilities at his disposal that were never there before.The woman in front of him was observing him with confusion as their hands were still closed in a handshake.The young boy that just came in her office was staring at his hand with a bizarre look and his posture was giving away his stifledness.Before Timothy entered the building he was still just a normal teenager,who as every other was interested in games,girls and consuming unlimited amounts of alcohol,but now after that slight touch with the lady,who was about to give him his new ID card,he became in an instant an expert in her field.Only by looking at the folders behind her and checking the documents she was filling,he knew exactly what was for what.He knew not how or why he knew,but the knowledge was just there.The mild voice of the woman brought him back from his drifting and contemplation back to the overcrowded office.There was still a huge line behind him and the more he was delaying his stay the angrier the other people were getting.As usual you could hear the sighs of the people behind him,most of them were in a hurry to go back to work or get back to their other daily activities,but for now they were stuck behind an eighteen year old boy that was not exactly sure what was going on with him.The woman behind the glass pulled her hand back and stood staring at the boy waiting for him say what he wants.Timothy tilted a bit and told the woman

- Hello,my ID card is going to expire soon and I wish to renew it - the lady then opened some file on her computer and asked for his card.He reached for his card in his pocket and put it on the desk in front of her and waited.After she took the card and typed a few thing on her computer she took out a kind of a document and handed it to him.

-Please fill out this document and come back when you`re ready,if you have any questions just come and ask me - the boy nodded and went to the nearest desk sitting beside a bunch of other people that were given the same task.There was a mother with a child beside him filling out some form,the child was sitting in her lap and was staring at the people in the office with great curiosity.On the other side of the table there was an old man with such a thick mustache that his upper lip had disappeared somewhere in it.He was sweating even though it was not that hot in the office,either way he was brushing his forehead all the time so that no sweat lands on his document.And of course there was that guy that never knew how to fill out a form and he always called someone like his mother or some relative to explain to him what to do,even though the office lady was there for that purpose.Timothy glimpsed through the form and started filling it out.Nothing too complicated,just his personal data and some questions concerning the switch or renewal of the card.He was soon ready and waiting again in line to give his paper to the woman with the mild voice.As time went by people started checking their clocks and stamping with their foot in an annoyed manner.His turn finally came,the woman checked if he had forgotten something and quickly after that gave him a little piece of paper with a number

-Come in twelve days with this paper and you will receive your card - the Timothy a few hours ago would have believed her in an instant,but the person his was now knew that was non sense and that his card could be ready in about an hour.He was not that type of person though,that would have an argument that would not lead anywhere so he just smiled and said goodbye to the lady.

It was a typical spring day,with sun and slight wind spreading that refreshing cold breeze.The teenager was still confused by the turn of events today,he could not recall anything like that happening in the past and also he had not heard of something like that from his friends so it was not a virus or something.Timothy thought of going home to take a nap just in case his fatigue was what caused these strange feelings.Contrary to what he though,it just got even weirder when he fell asleep.His mind got filled with numbers and unknown symbols that were flying around him while he was floating as a mere dot in some vast space.The glowing symbols were pouring into a huge black well.Timothy flew closer to the well to observe it and landed on the south side of it.He glimpsed into the black still waters and at first he saw only his reflection,but in a matter of seconds the water smeared his image and started showing different pictures and people.The water was blurry so the boy needed to look closer to distinguish the images forming in front of him,it was him,the well was showing scenes of his life.From back when he was a toddler,then when he was in school and so on.He could see every birthday party he had until now,every time his family went on a trip,every present he had ever received.The symbols that were pouring in the well were forming a new picture,it was from today,right after he had shook the womans hand,her knowledge was now transferring to him.Everything she had learned to be able to do what she does now for a living was entering his conscience.Suddenly the water started churning and Timothy stepped back unsure what was going on.The well began overflowing vigorously and the boy fled.That is when he woke up,things got just more unclear after the nap and left him thinking for a while.Timothy decided not to tell his parents yet,he did not want to make them worry so he just kept his mouth shut until his condition was clear.After a quick consideration he thought it might be wise to share this with someone close that would not flip out when he hears him out or would not think him a psycho.He picked his phone and wrote a quick message to the person he thought would understand him perfectly.Melanie was a petite girl,who was going to the same high school Timothy did,he knew her from kindergarten and ever since then they were really close.Even though she was quite beautiful he considered her more of a friend than someone with whom he would be in an intimate relationship,she was with him on this topic in his opinion.Timothy asked her in the message if he could come by because he needed to talk

- whats happened,is everything ok ? - asked she because she did not know him as a serious person so it was a bit odd that he wrote in such a way.

- I`ll tell you later,its kinda private - even though she was getting worried by the way he wrote she decided it would be better to leave him tell her everything face to face

- ok meet you later - Timothy left his house in a hurry and headed to Melanie’s place.She lived in the better part of their town,her dad was the boss of a furniture company and her mother was a retired french model.Melanie loved the story of how her parents met,they were both on a boat outside of Miami and the magazine for which her mother was working was celebrating a million sells and all the models were there.At some point of the night there were some huge waves that hit the boat hard and her mother,who was standing at the end deck lost balance and fell in the cold waters.Immediately after that Melanie’s father jumped after her and brought her to the shore,the rest is just history.Timothy finally reached her house and jumped over the fence in the backyard,that is where they usually met even though he had visited the place numerous times and her parents knew him.He sat on the hammock and threw a little pebble at her window,she appeared a second after that and smiled at him and ran downstairs.Melanie opened the door leading to the backyard and with a few jumps she found herself standing in front of Timothy.They hugged and she sat next to him,she had just taken a shower,her hair was still wet and the usual smell of forest fruits slipped in his nostrils.Melanie was wearing a white cotton blouse and red shorts,even with her home clothes she looked like she was ready to go out somewhere,she probably got that from her french side.She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her hands around them and waited for Timothy to start talking.He was still a bit confused by everything,but he took a deep breath and started

- You know,i went today to renew my ID card and something really weird happened when i touched the woman there- at first Melanie thought he was just joking like usual how he found he had chemistry with some pretty girl

- Oh not this again - but his face remained dead serious

- No,its not what you think,I did not like her,it was something else - she then kept silence so that he could continue

-When i touched her,it was as if i took a part of her,not physically but mentally -

- You know how i was never good at math and accounting,well I think now i am proficient at them - Melanie was staring at him with confusion

- How do you know ? How did that happen ? - she asked still nestled at the end of the hammock

- Well that is the thing,I dont know I just touched her and then i knew all the thing concerning her work - continued Timothy moving his gaze from her and onto the grass below them.

- Did you touch anyone else after that ? - asked Melanie getting more worried by the second

- I think not,I also had a really weird dream after that,but that happens all the time - he looked at her again thinking she might propose some solution,Melanie was still staring at him worriedly and now chewing on her nails,

- If that is true,what you`re saying then maybe you should try touching someone else -

- But I already touched you when we hugged and I did not feel the same thing - replied Timothy and thought about the handshake with the office lady,if there was something more special about it.

-Hmm,I did touch you only through the clothes and the touch with the lady was through a handshake,maybe its a skin thing ? - said the boy looking at Melanie to see if she agrees.She nodded in return

- Well,lets try it then- she then reached for him with her hand.Timothy thought it through,even though the woman at the office did not show signs that she felt the same thing he did,he did not want to harm in any way Melanie.He took out his hand from the pocket and cautiously grabbed Melanie’s hand.The familiar feeling struck him again,as if very light currents of electricity were surging through his body and after it all passed away he let her hand.Melanie was looking at him to see if something happened,but he was just sitting there baffled and silent.Since her mother was french,Melanie was also fluent in french,Timothy on the other hand had never learned french.He turned to her with the same confusion as earlier and asked
