I have very little information to go on except for scraps of memory so please bear with me ^^" I know the book was about a guy who had some time of power, but I forget what it was exactly. He has a girlfriend named PJ, and his parents can read his mind or something. He also played football, but he had to keep low because he has extraordinary speed and strength I think. One night he is discovered by some people who want to capture him (I assume) and his dad tells him to run. The distinctive thing I remember about that part was that his dad shoots himself in the foot to convince the main character how important this is. Sometime later in the book, I think I remember there being a dog that he can telepathically communicate with. The rest of the book is gone from my memory except for this one other female character who helps him train or something, and there was a part in the book where it was revealed she had been hiding her identity and she could change her looks to look like someone else entirely. (Her real self is really beautiful, I think). I forget anything else that happened in this book, which I'm pretty sure is the first in a series. If this sounds familiar, please let me know!
you should probably than delete this question.
