May's journal

[May "mayday" Parker]

I'm....not quite sure how to start this. Or really WHERE to start. So much has happened to me....it's....kind of a lot to wrap my head around. One minute I'm swinging through the streets of New York, busting criminals and rescuing cats for old ladies, and next thing I know, I'm sitting in class, in my new--boarding--school. A place called "Animated High." It's supposed to be for people like me....y'know....with powers. A few people I've met DO possess special abilities, but they're not nearly as weird as the people-like-animal students. I swear, not even April (rest her soul) and her genetically intertwined symbiote compares to the craziness here!

I feel so out of my comfort zone it's not even funny. I'm so used to hiding my powers--fearing for my life if someone learns of my identity--but here....here....well, I just had a conversation with another girl (Kiki's her name) and actually SHOWED her what I could do, WITHOUT my costume on! So....SO strange.

But at least the kids here (at least, the ones I've met) are nice. I miss Davida, Courtney and Wes....but I guess it never hurts to make new friends. Besides, I'll see them over the holidays--unless dad refuses to take me home, which, given his paranoia, isn't all that unlikely.

Ah, but class is about to start. Gotta run! Until next time!
