She stared at her hands, contemplating about her next action. She stared at it for a long time, before clenching her fist. "I must try again!" She muttered to herself.
She tried shifting a part of her body, her hand specifically.
She is surprised when instead of being forced to become a full shadowy mist, her hand is the only one that became a dark wisp. Her eyes widened once more when she didn't feel any drowsiness, only a hazy feeling on her wispy hand. It's like it was barely disconnected, like she can feel it somehow but her connection to it is vague.
She tried moving her wispy hand and felt that she can somewhat move it, but it's like trying to move your muscle when your in a lucid dream. It's like you are aware it is there, but it is barely responding and only twitches can be done.
But slowly, she can move her hand in this shadow state.
"Amazing! I don't feel sleepy anymore!" Taylor exclaimed with her eyes glinting and a large smile.
She turned her hand back into normal before looking around.
"I don't know how it happened, but I can use my powers now!" She tried glancing on other parts of her house, being a bit frantic. "I have to try what I can do with my powers more!" She exclaimed and moves around her house with her stride looks like she is hopping. The whole day is spent just testing her powers.
So she looks for any objects she can use, and saw a ball so she tried using it.
She discovered many things with her powers.
It seems like when she turned her whole body into her shadow state, she will feel a bit disconnected to her whole body. It's like she is in a lucid dream, but she is still aware of her body. Trying to move her body felt like trying to move through mud.
But she can move her body, albeit very slowly. Along with her shadow state, everything (except the floor she is standing on) will also turn intangible along with her.
She is also aware about the objects that she is carrying, like the ball awhile ago, and she can throw it even when in her shadow state. It is pretty hard because moving in her shadow state is a burden, but in a way that doesn't make sense, she can produce enough force to throw her intangible objects out of her touch and let it be separated from her.
She learned that when she is intangible, she can passed through things. Though, it seems like electrical things is her weakness, having experience being shocked to her nerves when she accidentally passes her hand through a wall and touch an electrical line.
This intangibility also extends to the objects that she is carrying. When she throws the intangible ball to the wall, it passes through. Though, she tried doing that to one of her electrical wires and found out that electrical things will forcefully materialized the objects that she turned intangible.
It seems like objects separated from her intangible state can only maintain it's intangibility for a second before it returned to normal.
She has been optimistic since learning about the change in her ability, so she tries using it and controlling it's form. Though it seems like she still can't control the shape or form of her shadow state. The only control she have is being able to limit her shadow state to certain parts of her body.
She didn't know what else to test so she decided to stop doing it for now and rest. 'Dad's coming soon anyway.' She thought. It is early morning when Taylor sluggishly stood up on her bed and stretches her body. After that, she took a moment to take in her scenery before going to the bath to clean herself.
Despite her excitement yesterday, today, she is not really looking forward going to school. 'It's Friday, so I should just endure for a bit more!' She thought.
After she is done changing herself, she slowly steps downstairs.
There, she can see her Dad eating some cereal. It looks like it's just heated and milk was put in it. Basically, the most fastest food to make.
Taylor go and take a bowl for herself before taking a seat and eating. They didn't speak at each other that much, only taking care of their business.
"I'll be going now." Her Dad said as he took his bowl and then walks to the sink. After that, he walks to the door with, almost like a lifeless gait.
"Yeah... see you later..." Taylor replied noncommittally.
She waited for her Dad to leave before she took her time taking care of her breakfast. After that, she also took it to the sink and cleaned the dishes before finally going back to her room to take her bag.
"Ah... another day..." Taylor looks to the sky with an unamused look.
She knows this is not really helping her. But she don't want to let her Dad know. She won't admit it, but she didn't trust her Dad that much after learning about the results of the investigation about her Locker.
Her Dad can't even support her. After learning that the case met a dead end, he just stood there and nodded at the officers like it was an afterthought. He looks like he is just forcing himself to care for her.
He is awkward, and seems to be lost. He looks like he is just going with the flow. He even took the money (bribe) that the school gave them so they won't pursue the case.
She can at least understand that. They don't have any money to bear the cost of her being put into the hospital. Also, trying to pursue the case that the police already gave up on will cost a lot of money. It just can't be done.
But, she wanted to see her Dad trying to look for any solution. Likely some sort of support.
Though, seeing him not even thinking of something and just immediately giving up made her so disappointed.
She knows it's wrong. She is also being stubborn, not even telling them about the one responsible for her bullying.
It is already ingrained in her mind.
Who would help? Will they even listen to me? I am just alone, and those bitches have anyone supporting them! How can anyone even trust me?
It's those thoughts that causes her to keep bottling things to herself. She didn't like authority figures anymore. She also doesn:t trust her Dad anymore.
'I can do this to myself.' She thought to herself in determination.

Getting to school is like trying to pick something wedge in her teeth. It's hard for her.
She felt that she didn't even need to go to school, but is just being forced because it is what's expected of her.
"Let's get this over with." She said with a sigh before taking a step inside the halls of this school.
She walks to the halls of the school, not even trying to take a detour. She wanted to go straight to her class without having as much encounter to those girls as possible.
She even passes her locker, her steps becoming more hasty when she got to that point.
Since coming back to school, she has been putting all her belongings to her bag. Anytime she goes to school, she always go straight to her class unlike the others.
As she turned a corner, she almost stumbled as something trips her foot.
She almost instinctively turned into a shadow, but manage to held herself back before using her hands to stop herself from falling to the floor.
She heard the laughter of the girls, the usual ones who is always hanging out with those Trio.
Taylor tries to stand up and ignore the girls laughing at her. As she manages to stand up, she tries to leave but she has been blocked by someone.
It is a familiar redhead with the usual smirk on her face. Her eyes glinting maliciously as she stared at her.
"Oh, it's Taylor. What a surprised, didn't thought I'd stumble upon you..." She is looking at her with a pitying act that even someone can tell is fake.
Taylor didn't want this to go on so she tries to passed by her to the side. But the other girls are there and are blocking her.
"Oh! What's the hurry? You can't just leave your old friend here!" The redhead said in an honestly irritating tone for Taylor. "Come on, talk to us. I am sure there are many things we can talk about!" She took an exaggerated thinking gesture before pumping her fist with her palm. "Oh right, you can't! You don't have anything interesting!"
The other girls laughs at her way as she finishes with that in a smirk.
Taylor just stared at her and is trying to endure it. She didn't want to show that she is being affected. 'They'll get tired. I just need to wait for it!' She thought.
"Hey Mads. Why don't you say something about our dearTaylor?"
"I don't know. She looks so ugly I can't even think what to say anymore."
Another laugh, which only grates her nerves. But she endures. She didn't want to give them the satisfaction.
She tries to move forward again but the girls blocks her. Going around, there are many girls trying to block her. She is surrounded on all her directions and no one is even trying to help her.
There is one teacher, it was their World Issues teacher, who just passed by them as he greeted the girls. He didn't even glance at her, and she can see how he is trying to avert his gaze anytime it turned to her.
The girls just ignored the teacher as they smiled maliciously at her. She can't help but feel overwhelmed at this many eyes staring at her like she's a toy.
"Come on, Taylor. Talk to us. Say something." The redhead, Emma, urges her. She is smirking at her, her arms crossed while trying to look down at her despite her height.
"... Leave me alone..." Taylor can't help but mutter that.
The girls laughs at her again. She didn't know what's funny about that, but she thinks they are just laughing because the others did so.
"What's wrong? Are we making you uncomfortable?" Emma asked in fake worry.
Taylor stops talking. She just stared at the ground.
Before they could say anything else, she heard the bell ringing which causes her heave a sigh of relief.
The other girls seems to be a bit panic as they took a bit of a step back, which gave her enough space to step forward.
"Ah!?"
Then she felt someone pushed her back, causing her stumbling and managing to pick her balance at the last minute, just before she lost her footing.
The girls laughs at her way again as one of her main bullies, someone named Sophia, glares at her dangerously.
"Wimp!" She simply snorted before turning her back.
The others also followed her as they scattered, going to their rooms while snatching smirks or small insults on her way.
"See you next time!" She heard Emma and felt some sort of dread as she says that.
'Dammit! What am I even doing!' Taylor thought as she gnashes her teeth. 'I have powers now! I am better than them!'
She hates this. She didn't want to be here anymore.

I think we do, but we'd rather discover them for ourselves. And also, it's just the beginning, so we have time before we need to do things like that. There's no rush. For now, let's entertain her petty revenge, and maybe see if we can learn something new about her powers. I have a feeling that the reason she gets sleepy is mostly because of when she transforms her head.
