"Kapella!". Mrs. Elijah's voice rage as she moved out of the kitchen with a Pan.

"Almost up Mom". A femanine voice replied from the floor above.

"Do I have to remind you that you've missed one week already?".

"I know Mom so just drop the pan before you're tempted to use it on me". Kapella said as she walked down the stairs full of smiles.

She had an average height and her straight hair was in a big bun style that her Panama hat barely covered. 

Her blue T-shirt and trouser matched with her enticing blue eyes. 

Mrs. Elijah heaved as she retreated the pan. 

"You're beyond beautiful each passing day and what could be the secret?". She said returning to the kitchen. 

"I eat sea food alot and I don't yell at people". She replied as she walked from behind. 

"Ops! My bad, you should try Sea food everyday Mom". Kapella said as she pecked Mrs. Elijah. 

"Fish gives protein not beauty". She replied dropping the pain. 

"But I love to eat fish and fish alone, every other thing gets to taste gross". She said. 

"You're 18, We shouldn't be talking about this anymore, you enjoy Sea food than any other meal and so we provide it in abundance". 

"Why am I different? From everyone, what's special or strange about me?". She asked. 

"You should get going you're gonna be late". Mrs. Elijah said as she tried to get herself busy. 

"Are you gonna keep ignoring, I know I'm different from others, a big difference, you all get to eat normal meal, I try to eat much of it and I puke out". She said. 

"Because you're special, So don't complain now and just move on with life as usual". 

"The fact that you always warn me not to tell anyone means there's a secret". 

"You're special that's it, there are kids like you out there". 

"Yes..So don't be hard on yourself". She said placing her hands on Kapella's shoulder. 

"I guess I'm ready now". She sat as she squat to adjust her shoe. 

"Mom, Where's Dad?". A ten year old boy said as he entered the Kitchen in his uniform and a backpack behind him. 

"Steve, I'll be with you in minute". Mrs. Elijah said. 

"Give that to me". She said turning back as he put it on. 

Mrs. Elijah couldn't help to but scoff as she took it off his head. 

"You can never be me". She grinned and he frowned angrily. 

"Don't be harsh on your brother, he's just a kid". 

"One who doesn't know his place". She snapped. 

"She can hear you already, so don't threaten me little bottle". She said gripping his nose. 

"Mom, Kapella didn't make her hair!". He announced. 

She gasped as she quickly covered his mouth. 

She took off the hat and wore it for him. 

 "Thanks". He added and marched out with the oversized hat. 

"Tell me it's a lie, Daughter". Mrs. Elijah said as Kapella turned back slowly. 

Mrs. Elijah grabbed the Barratte on her hair and removed it thereby unclasping Kapella's hair. 

Her long hair fell down freely past her waist. 

Mrs. Elijah scoffed as she leaned against the kitchen cabinet. 

"The Stylist was here yesterday, wasn't she?". 

"No. She called back that she was too busy to come". Kapella said. 

"And you decided to have it your way, take a look at your hair, it ain't normal, it....". 

"It looks like that of Disney Character, Rapunzel, although mine is barely touching the floor, it looks cute". 

"Cute or not, you know people mustn't see this". 

"C'mon Mom, I get to cut my hair every week for the past...... I guess it since when I was born, you should take a break". She said. 

"It's for a reason and you have to trust me on that". 

"Alright Mom, Just this week, I'll make sure I clasp it well into a bud style like the one I had before you ruin it". She frown. 

Kapella dragged her feet to the leaving room as the long straight hair followed from behind. 

There was Steve seated, legged crossed with Kapella's oversized Panama Hat on his head which covered his face. 

"It's time to hand it over Steve". She said standing akimbo. 

"Have some respect for Sherlock Holmes". He whispered. 

"Seriously?". She said raging toward him. 

"Oh, How about I tell Mom you took her Car yesterday, Rapunzel?". He asked. 

Students trooped into the gigantic buildings as they alighted from their various transit. 

The Bus, some parents dropped off their kids and the Rich flaunt their flashy cars as they drove to the VIP garage. 

A Dodge Viper GTS halt in front of the gate as it window slide down revealing Kapella and her Mom. 

"And here we are, after trying to rip your little brother apart". 

"Don't start again Mom, He took what was mine, threaten or actual try to blackmail me and then drew sponge Bob on my hat, that was my favorite". She snapped. 

"You still Watch Sponge Bob, that kid show? ".

"Um..Maybe". Kapella said and hurried out. 

"What do I get to tell the Principal, that I puked for days after I stubbornly eat lot of pancake". She added. 

"I spoke with him already, Just go to school and be a good girl". Mrs. Elijah is and she turned to leave. 

"Don't take off your bracelet, never take it off". 

"Seriously Mom, I've been wearing this since I was born, why would I take it off now?". She asked. 

"But Mom is it some sort of protection object, was our ancestors Magicians, what does it do?". 

"Good day, Kapella". Mrs. Elijah said as she wore her shades. 

She hit the accelerator with her foot and the vehicle shot off. 

"hush!". She said as she turned back to the gate. 

"Welcome back to Phoenix High, Kap..... I meant Faceless". She whispered and marched into the compound as she adjust her black hat. 

Kapella was walking through the hallway when she almost bumped into another student. 

"Sorry". She said raising her head up and their eyes met. 

"Kapella!". The Girl screamed as they hugged tightly attracting the attention of everyone at the hallway. 

She was dark skinned more of a black American with wavy hair. 

"It's been so long friend, you didn't bother to call, I didn't know your place and then you delayed a week before returning from summer break". Cindy said frowning. 

"I lost my phone during summer break, Good thing you don't know where I live and I resumed late because I was sick for good one week". Kapella whispered. 

"Sick? Were you pregnant?".She asked and Kapella punched her arm. 

"Yeah. Pregnant with stomach disorder". Kapella said. 

"That's bad but I know you're fine now, babe, it will take more than a disorder to put Faceless down". She said.
