The Special Kid

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was a little boy, I could see people's aura. My mother told me I inherit this ability from my grandmother. We don't know why it happens to us, but it makes us "special".

Most would say it's a blessing, but I think it's a curse. Aura's show your true colors. You could be the sweetest person in the world, but I know you a fake person just by your aura.

Today was like any other for me. Just walking around town and seeing people's aura. They look like a cloud version of them. At first, I was scared. But I learn to ignore them.

"Let me rob this old woman"

My attention instantly turns to that sound. It was a person wearing a mask over their face. They were planning on robbing this old woman.

"As soon as she walks over to the street, let's push her off the road and grab that purse!"

Crap, is he actually going to do it? Thinking fast, I speed walk to the old lady.

"Hey, ma'am. Would you like my help?"

"Oh, thank you so much, sonny"

I could hear the robber aura cursing me out, but I don't care, I'm used to this. This happens every single day. I' m used of being "The Hero" at this point. I don't even think I deserve that title honestly.

I glance at the old lady aura. She seems happy, and not fake unlike the other auras.

"How about you stay at my house and I fix you something to eat, sonny?" She asked.

Her aqua change to loneliness. I didn't even need to know her backstory to tell what she's currently going through.

Without any hesitation, I nodded.
