Strange feeling (first chpt. of The Ruby's Power)

Have you ever had a feeling that you're something more than a regular kid with freckles and pimples? Well that's exactly how I felt three years ago.
My name is Cara.
But I had no idea that wasn't my name back then.
You'll figure out my real name later.
But right now, this is where my journey to the past begins.

"Hey look, Pizza Face arrived."
I looked more like Cherry Face after that comment.
I was the new freshman girl at Wriggley Hills High school. My dad is a realtor and we have to move a lot to get to other people so he can move them. He doesn't pay much attention to me and my stupid 18 year old brother, Max. My mom died so its just Dad, Max, and me.
Well actually my brother isn't that stupid. He has already made a gazillion friends and billions of phone numbers from girls his age.
Me on the other hand, was zippo on friends and -1000 on phone numbers from boys.
"Wow the sun sure loves her. Look at all those kiss marks!!!"
I hated being called names. I just wanted to shove a knuckle sandwich down their throats but I kept walking.
Suddenly I had a feeling I was being watched. Not by the dorks but by someone else. Possibly something else. I quickly ran to my locker and headed to Science.
Mr. Coopy was my Science teacher. He was always sweating with a top button missing and messy hair. He always stutters when he talks and spits on people in the front row. Most students call him Mr. Poopy.
"W-w-e h-h-ave a n-n-new st-student to-to-today"
Some girl in the front row wiped some spit off her eye.
"H-h-her n-n-n-name is"
I interrupted.
"Cara"
"More like Car-rot!!!"
Bursts of laughter came from everywhere.
I hated that boy Lumpy. Well that's his nickname.
You wouldn't want to hear his real one.
"S-s-s-settle down-n-n!!!!" Mr. Coopy struggled.
"Y-you-u-u may-ay-ay g-go back t-t-to your s-seat, Ca-r-r-rot I mean C-c-cara."
I just nodded to hide my disgusted face from the spit on my cheek.
I heard varieties of giggles from around the classroom as I headed back to my seat.
I was only one word at that moment.
Miserable.

*******
The rest of the day dragged on. hated English, loathed Gym, and despised Math.
But most of all I absolutely, positively, hated Gym. Because Gym is where the physical teasing comes in place. That day was dodge ball and you probably know what happened. But then one subject lightened up my day. History.
The teacher wasn't nice or anything but it was what we were learning about.
Greek Mythology.
I didn't know it was my favorite till the next day.
Anyway, we were learning about the the goddess of money, wealth, and ruby's
Her name was actually Ruby.
She was almost as powerful as Zeus.
She has supernatural powers like flying, turning invisible, reading minds, etc.
But to have those powers she has to wear a very special necklace. If she doesn't have it on the powers would go away. Also The necklace can turn something ugly into something beautiful. One night when all the gods and goddesses were asleep, Palizimo, the god of darkness and night sent his evil minions to steal the necklace. His most powerful minion, Gulfok, took possession of the necklace. But Ruby was awake. She successfully took it back and Gulfok dissolved
When minions dissolve, they get sent to Earth and can never come back.
When Palizimo heard that his most powerful minion was dissolved he became furious. Ruby heard that Palizimo would come back for the necklace and stronger Ruby had to dissolve the necklace. The only way to dissolve the necklace safely was to give it to the long lost goddess Carasidel Ervington on her 15th birthday. Then would Carasidel destroy it and the world would be safe again.
All Palizimo wants is power, so if he gets the necklace, the world would be controlled by darkness and would never see light again. We would all be slaves to him if Carasidel doesn't complete her mission and uses the necklace for selfish reasons. Even if Palizimo rules the Earth and the necklace is still whole, the supernatural powers would be gone.

"Cara!" my history teacher screamed.
I was too wrapped up in the history book I forgot where I was.
"Class was over 10 minutes ago. We'll learn more of this tomorrow." She tried to say sweetly.
"Perfect!!!" I said strangely happily.
"Okay, uh, see you tomorrow Miss. Ervington."
"What did you say my last name was?" I asked
She waved and left the classroom.
There was only one thing on my mind.
"Let's Google it!"



*******

When I got home I went straight to the computer.
I typed: Carasidel Ervington
I clicked on the one that said, "Long lost goddess in human form: Carasidel Ervington.
Then there were 3 knocks.
"Hey Car"
"Hi dad" He was holding a small box
"Happy 15th birthday sweetheart!!" He gave me the small box. There was a necklace with a red jewel at the end. Then I remembered the history lesson.
"15th?"
"Of course! What were you thinking silly?"
"It's beautiful. Thanks Dad."
"No problem kiddo"
"Good night, Dad."
"G-night."
I stared at the box for a long moment. then went to bed.

When I woke up I slowly got my clothes on and brushed my teeth. Then I decided to show off my birthday present that day. I put it on and looked in the mirror. I blushed and looked down at the jewel. When I looked up, I saw something amazing.
