Gifted now you see me pdf


















How did I end up with such a lousy grandchild? You make me sick! Tracey watched Martin in alarm. The boy was becoming flushed and his breathing had become so laboured she could hear it from where she was standing at the edge of the yard. Then his whole body began to tremble. She knew what this meant. Frantically, she turned to the grandfather.

Did he know that any minute now Martin would be able to beat the man to a pulp? And what should she do? How could she stop Martin, rescue the old man, put an end to this? She watched with interest as his face contorted into an expression of intense concentration. And after a moment, his complexion returned to its normal colour, his breathing calmed, and his body was still.

Then he ran back into the house. Now she was confused. Was he able to control his gift? She wished Jenna was there. She hurried after Martin.

In the hallway she could hear sobs coming from behind a closed door. This time, to her surprise, she found herself feeling sympathy for him. As long as the door remained closed, however, there was nothing she could do about it. After a few minutes he emerged. He went into the bathroom, splashed some water on his face and came out. Tracey followed him down the stairs.

He went directly to the front door. He left the house, and Tracey left with him. He was walking as if he had a purpose, some place to go. Even while invisible, Tracey could feel her heartbeat quicken. Was this it?

Was Martin on his way to meet their enemies? But all she saw was the kind of people one would expect to find in a playground — some little kids with parents over by the see-saw and swings, and a group of teenage boys on the basketball court.

The latter group was the one Martin approached. He planted himself on the court just in front of the boy who held the ball. Like the other guys in the group, the player looked to be around sixteen or so. All the boys were bigger than Martin. Oh no, Tracey thought. The boy would tell him no. Beat it, kid. Get lost, jerk. Something like that. Martin would refuse, maybe try to take the ball. The other guys would jeer. But the older boy just shrugged.

I need another guy on my team. Go take a position over there. His next stop was a picnic table just a few yards away where a group of men were playing cards.

A couple of them looked kind of rough and there was a bottle of cheap whisky on the table. Tracey got nervous. Now Tracey understood. He wanted to be teased, taunted, brushed aside. He wanted those older boys who played basketball, the men at the poker table, to mock him, make fun of him, laugh at him. Martin had been looking for a way to be strong, to assert himself in the only way he knew how.

But then why did he resist the gift when it started to emerge in his back yard? This was interesting, she mused. So there might be more to Martin than any of his classmates ever suspected. If she became bored — and this happened frequently — she could amuse herself by reading the minds of her classmates.

Outside the Gifted class, she could benefit from the fact that no one knew what she could do, and no one could block her. But this was her English class, one of the few classes where Jenna sat closer to the front and paid attention. Right now, they were reading Jane Eyre , and even though the language was old-fashioned, Jenna liked the heroine.

She was looking forward to discussing chapter four today. But it was not to be. On this Tuesday, Ms Day was absent, and a substitute was taking her place. It was always the same when Roth took over a class.

Jenna prepared herself for fifty minutes of utter boredom. First, the substitute glanced at the lesson-plan book. Summarize chapter four. A girl squirmed in her seat. Jenna, who rarely volunteered in class, was almost ready to raise her hand and offer a summary, but Mr Roth had apparently already given up.

So, you can all use this class time to read chapter four. Students used the unexpected free time for a variety of purposes. Industrious ones started homework assignments. One girl began filing her nails, while a couple of boys put their heads on their desks and closed their eyes. Jenna had no desire to attack homework or sleep, so she scanned the minds of selected classmates for something interesting to entertain her.

But that brief thought led her to something actually worth contemplating — the spy in the Gifted class. Someone was taking the information learned in the class and passing it on.

How else would people like Serena, Clare and Stuart Kelley know so much about them? It had to be Amanda. Everyone else could be eliminated for one reason or another. Emily and Tracey were completely out of the question, of course. Maybe all that niceness was just a mask. She might make fun of Sarah, calling her Miss Perfect or something like that, but deep down she instinctively knew that Sarah was a genuinely good person.

There was a bit of mystery to her, that was true, but it seemed to be something personal and private. But once, when Charles had one of his tantrums and sent books flying off shelves, everyone else in the class had covered their heads. No, the guy was truly out of it. What about Charles? He could be pretty nasty. No, it had to be Amanda. Before she came to the Gifted class, none of them had been threatened by outside forces. Amanda had no real friends in the class so she had no sense of loyalty to anyone.

Tracey had said she thought there was some sort of romantic connection between Amanda and Ken, but from the way Ken talked about Amanda now, any friendship they might have had was finished.

Jenna had always harboured uncomfortable feelings about Mr Jackson, and not just because he was the school principal. There was something about him that gave her the creeps. Madame had assured the class that no one else at Meadowbrook knew about them. None of them, not even the principal, was aware of what they could do. Not weird supernatural stuff. And yet, the way Mr Jackson looked at them. Surely he suspected something.

It was Jackson who brought Serena to their class as a student teacher. Jenna had no difficulty picturing the principal and Amanda working together to exploit the gifted students. The Gifted class met right after this class. That meant Amanda should be working in the office right now. The one good thing about substitute teachers was the fact that they were more gullible than real teachers. Jenna got up and went to the desk.

Mr Roth looked up from his newspaper with annoyance at being interrupted. That comment set Roth in motion. Frantically, he grabbed an excuse pass from the top drawer and practically threw it at her.

Once out in the hall, Jenna knew she needed to work out another story right away. She needed a reason for being there. But what possible excuse could she have for going to the office? She could claim that Mr Roth sent her for some classroom supplies. She needed to stay in the office for a while so she could observe Amanda and figure out what she was up to.

This was not going to be easy. But she was in luck. A counsellor with a red face was demanding to see Mr Jackson immediately. The custodian was complaining about something nasty in a bathroom, while two teachers were arguing over the use of some video equipment. Ms Simmons, the head secretary, was yelling at them all, telling them to sit and wait until Mr Jackson could see them.

Amanda was behind the desk, in front of a computer screen, and not paying any attention to what was going on. Jenna approached cautiously and tried to get a better look at what Amanda was doing without letting Amanda get a glimpse of her.

There, Jenna could not only get a vague image of the screen, but she could also get a sense of how Amanda was responding to what she saw.

Amanda was looking at an email inbox. Her own? At that moment, Mr Jackson came out of his office. Jenna took the stapler from him. There was something about the way Jackson was looking at her. Hurrying out, she tried to dismiss this sudden sense of apprehension that had come over her. And why had he glared at her like that? Which was precisely the kind of thing a spy would do.

Jenna took her seat, stuck the stapler in her backpack, and opened Jane Eyre. Much as she liked the story, it was hard to concentrate. Her thoughts kept going back to the scene in the office. Now she was more convinced than ever about Amanda. But there was nothing she could do right now, and there were still thirty minutes of this class left to go. She plunged back into Jane Eyre. The story grabbed her this time, and soon she was completely absorbed in it. The next time she glanced at the clock, she was surprised and pleased to see there were only about five minutes left before the bell would ring.

The door opened, and Amanda walked in. With an air of importance, she strode briskly up to Mr Roth and murmured something to him. The teacher looked at the class. She picked up her backpack, stopped at the desk and retrieved another hall pass, and left the room. Amanda was right behind her. They walked along in silence for a moment. At the end of the corridor, however, Amanda turned right instead of left, which was the direction to the office.

Jenna doubted that Amanda was actually going to appear early for the Gifted class. Jenna had once read a biography of a famous female spy named Mata Hari. She paid a lot of attention to her appearance too. Maybe it was a female spy thing. As she approached the office, the reason for her summons dawned on her. She took it out of her backpack, and when she entered the office she held it out to the secretary. But Ms Simmons barely glanced at the stapler. Her disapproving eyes were on Jenna herself, and Jenna thought the secretary looked just a little too harsh considering the situation.

Now what? But Ms Simmons offered no further explanation. Jenna opened the door. And then she just stood there, her hand still on the doorknob. It was an unexpected and unsettling scene that greeted her. Mr Jackson sat at his usual place, behind his massive desk.

By his side stood a uniformed police officer. Yeah, like anyone ever reads that , Jenna thought, but she decided it would be wiser not to say it out loud. It was a big, sharp knife, the kind that Jenna imagined would be used for carving meat.

Jenna stared at it blankly. It even knew your combination. Mr Jackson finished the sentence for her. She had difficulty hearing too. Vaguely, she was aware of being told that the police officer would escort her to Harmony House, but the sound seemed to be coming from very far away. Her mother was saying something too, but the words made no sense at all. Maybe because she was crying as she spoke. The bell must have just rung, because there were people in the hall, and she knew they were looking at her.

How could she? They were talking loudly and excitedly. Five or six of them! And she was in handcuffs! In shock, she managed to get up the stairs without tripping. This had to be a mistake.

Or maybe there was another goth girl at Meadowbrook. She told herself that when she walked into Room , Jenna would be there, just as she always was. There had to be a reasonable explanation. She thought frantically. First she came, then the policeman came, and then Ms Simmons sent me to get Jenna out of class. Amanda examined her own reflection in a little compact mirror. Amanda snapped the compact shut.

All I know is that Mr Jackson suddenly decided to do some random locker searches and when he came back, he wanted to see Jenna. Mr Jackson and a policeman were in the hallway. Mr Jackson opened a locker and took out a big knife. Emily looked stricken. She took her mobile phone out of her bag and began composing a text message.

The teacher nodded. But being Madame, her tone was calm and unemotional. Try not to listen to any gossip you might hear. Today, I suggest we spend the class time practising our relaxation techniques. As usual, Martin and Charles groaned, but Tracey could see the point of this.

The exercises — in breathing and meditation — were supposed to help them control their gifts. Pickpockets, druggies, people with actual criminal records. Tracey knew Jenna herself had never been violent, and she never took drugs or did anything illegal. But she liked to act tough, she hung around with tough people, and she had got into trouble because of them.

But that was then, and this was now. She had a home with a sober mother, she had friends, she no longer saw her old street gang. Ken thought he knew. The second they were dismissed, he motioned for Emily and Tracey to join him in the hallway.

They both turned to see Amanda sweep by them. Ken waited until Amanda was beyond hearing before he spoke again. Jenna gives lots of people dirty looks, Tracey thought. Ken ignored that. Tracey blanched. He glanced at his watch. On the way there, he explained his plan. But if it could bring Jenna back, she supposed it was worth a try.

As Ken suspected, Amanda was still at her locker, with two of her friends, Nina and Katie. Amanda was tapping her foot impatiently. The three girls only had eyes for the boy. Even though Ken was no longer a top athlete at Meadowbrook, his good looks and general popularity still made him a catch. Jenna read his mind yesterday, and she told me it came through loud and clear. He likes you. You said you kind of liked him. Tracey and Emily followed. The girl looked positively shocked. But what was even more interesting were the faces of her friends.

Angry boys, sullen girls, unhappy parents, bored social workers. Jenna sat on one of the orange chairs and stared at the poster. If the rest of her life was going to be like today. What was she supposed to say now? He already knew her name. But her response to the cop was simply a shrug. Am I right? But what if she came right out and accused Amanda Beeson?

What good would that do? But even though Amanda was superficial and selfish and full of herself, it was hard to believe that she could be this downright evil. Then again, if she was spying on their class and working with serious bad guys, it made sense. Her mother. Would this incident make her start drinking again? She could feel tears forming in her eyes. Jenna turned to him and spoke fiercely. If there was anything worse than a regular cop, it was a cop who pretended to care.

Entering the office, she saw that prissy white-haired Ms Landers was still the so-called director, sitting behind a desk. The woman gave her a sad smile. Jenna slumped into the seat facing her. It was all crap, of course. They called Harmony House a rehabilitation centre, but it was no better than a prison. The demerit system — any infraction of the rules would result in demerits, issued by the resident assistants.

The accumulation of demerits would result in the loss of privileges. It had been a Dr Colby then. Jenna grunted in return. Everything must have checked out OK, because he kept smiling. When he finished, he told the nurse that she could leave, and invited Jenna to take a seat across from him at his desk.

This was something new. His perpetual smile broadened. I provide therapy for the residents here. I believe the best way to deal with problems like yours is to talk about them. He turned a page in her file. Each student has something — something sort of unusual going on. The smile returned. Finally, she was released. That was a major relief. Jenna thought she was incredibly stupid — what good would crying do in a place like this? If you were stuck here, you just had to grit your teeth and get through it.

Twin beds, a white dresser, two desks. The only difference was the picture on the wall. This time, she had kittens. She threw herself on one of the beds and stared up at the ceiling. She had no computer, no TV, no music. She remembered that there was a little library downstairs, by the dining hall. She could go and check out a book. But there was no time for that now. A bell rang, signalling dinner time. Jenna had no appetite, but she knew she had to show up for the meal. It was one of the rules.

In the dining hall, she picked up her tray and went to an empty table. A girl who looked a little younger than she was joined her. Some of the kids are mean , you know? All I did was break into a car with some friends and take it for a ride.

Jenna met her eyes. Alone again, Jenna pushed the food around the plate and kept an eye on the clock. She set her expression in a scowl that she hoped would keep all potential tablemates away. A guy ambled towards her.

With his zits and his sandy hair pulled back in a ponytail, he looked young, but not young enough to be one of the inmates. Peter nodded, and Jenna could have sworn he almost seemed impressed. He probably thought she was referring to guns.

Well, let him think what he wanted to think. His eyebrows went up. Then you probably know the game. How things work here. Demerits, privileges. He grinned. After a couple of days, you can have visitors. Peter Blake rolled his eyes in exasperation. You do favours for me. I return the favour. Weirdo, Jenna thought. What did he want, assault rifles? And what would she get in return — extra helpings of dessert?

What a jerk. She stopped at the little library to find something to read, and she was almost pleased to find a copy of Jane Eyre. It was funny, in away. Actually, she would get the assignments — the school would send them to Harmony House. Back in her room, she settled down on the bed and opened the book. Now Jenna could identify with the character even more.

But it was hard to concentrate on reading. Her mind kept going back to the events of the day. Tracey and Emily — all the students must know by now what had happened to her. Madame too. What were they thinking of her? And her poor mother, who was trying so hard to make up for the bad times.

But here was her daughter, getting into trouble again. That the whole thing had been a set-up? That Jenna Kelley was not a committed criminal? Finally, she put the book down, turned over and buried her head in the pillow. Relieved that her morning obligation was finished, Tracey tossed the phone back in her bag.

Yesterday, Tracey had picked up her tray in the cafeteria and carried it over to the table where Amanda and her friends always ate lunch. The three Evilettes stared at her, as if an alien had just landed at their exclusive gathering place. Anyway, she said she wanted me to sit with you all from now on. Amanda arrived with another of her friends, Sophie. She was clearly taken aback to find Tracey at her table. Tracey spoke sadly. Today, Tracey planned to arrive at the table after Amanda, and she would thank Amanda for having called last night to apologize for her rude behaviour.

Ken had also given Emily jobs to do. Nina, if you see Amanda next period, could you tell her she can borrow my yellow sweater this weekend. The bus arrived. The passengers never told on each other. I hate going to that table at lunchtime. Emily hesitated. Tracey had a feeling she knew what Emily was about to say and it was something Tracey had been wondering about herself. Emily spoke carefully.

Like, you were sort of interested in each other, you know what I mean? Ken shrugged. And the way she put us all in danger when she was involved in the seance.

Tracey took over. Ken glared at her. Maybe she can talk to those Harmony House people so we can visit Jenna. See ya in class. The Queen of Mean, who could usually be found wherever she could see and be seen, and who was always surrounded by friends, was hidden away in an empty classroom and all alone.

Amanda looked up. Instantly, her expression changed — but now she seemed more frightened than mean. Tracey took the seat next to her. All you have to do is come clean about Jenna.
