Permission to not move on yet...

I was nearby a nice area with big Victorian houses. But I was essentially homeless, about to go off to college. Some people approached me treating me like an adult but it became apparently to them fast I wasn't one. I was a child, despite ng age of being 19 They took me to get tested. To get adopted. I didn't it, why? I was too old, they wouldn't take me. But they moved me through an adult line and they decided that since I was psychic I needed special consideration. So fast they chose to adopt me out. Suddenly I'm living in one of those houses, not going to college yet because I didn't have to, I could relax for a while, and going back to high school. Normally that would be a death sentence, highs school was where I'd been ignored for years or bullied. I was uncomfortable there, it felt odd. But someone went with me. A brother. A friend. He was enthusiastic about the high school, he'd only seen on TV. I had to introduce him to something I didn't experience much myself, as I tried to stay alone to avoid the bullying. But the first time someone bullied me in front of him, he was after them instantly. There was a hold up with lots of clothes, laundry in the front yard of their house. Them who adopted me. They weren't used to kids. But they were trying. Also, something about a leash that got held fast to a tree by the woman, mine and his as we each had one, but it was a joke not real and she got distracted and forgot to remove the knife holding the thing in place. I pulled and was strong enough to set us free. ~ An alien creature batted at people in a mock fight underwater. Or maybe just a fight. He looked covered in muddy bumps. Very alien. Grey like sediment in a river bed.
