BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
Clemmy's hand slammed down on the table, trying to find the alarm clock that had done this to her. She eventually did, and gave it a slap so hard, that it turned off although the button was on the other side.
She relaxed, and tried to sleep again, until five minutes later her sister was up and about and going to the bathroom. Suddenly it seemed the whole house was up.
Clemmy sat up, brushing her long blonde hair out of her face, and putting in her brace. She was fourteen, and a freshman at the school, Sky High, for super heroes. The rest of her family had gone there, both her mother and father were supers, and her brother and sister, and now, it was her turn. She went downstairs, and, sat down with her family, eating a typical meal of toast, made of the special bread she had to eat with PKU, which meant she could only take in certain amounts of protein.
Then she lazily left the house, and went to the bus. Her brother had left Sky High last year, so she was alone on the way to the bus, which was late.
" Hi," she greeted the girl with fair hair by the bus stop, " I'm Clemmy,"
" Sarah," smiled the girl, " you Sky High?"
" Yeah, you?"
" Yep, I'm a freshman, I'm really excited, this is gonna be so cool,"
" Me too!" grinned Clemmy. Another girl wondered up to the bus stop then. She had short, red hair, spiked up and with blue ends, she wore a black "Greenday" t-shirt, and baggy jeans,
" Hey," smiled Sarah, " you a sky high girl?"
" Yes," said the girl shortly, sounding uninterested.
" Wow, us too," smiled Clemmy,
" Well, duh, what else would you be doing by this stop?" her accent was British
" Umm, well, good point," said Sarah. " Hey, do you come from Britain?"
" Well, no, I'm just a good actor," she said sarcastically, " Now both of you shut it. I got off my plane one hour ago, and am now suffering from jet lag, alright." She pulled a book entitled, "Greek for beginners" out of her bag, and began to read it, looking interested, and bobbing her head in time to the music on her iPod.
" Cheery," muttered Clemmy. Next person at the stop was a tall, American Asian boy, who was carrying a laptop in his bag, and was slightly preoccupied looking on a palm top,
" Hey," smiled Sarah, and used the same greeting on him that she had used on the "Greenday" girl.
" Yeah," he shrugged, " I'm going to sky high. I'm called Chia, what are your names?"
" I'm Clemmy, this is Sarah,"
" Cool," he grinned, and then turned back to his palmtop.
Two boys walked up to the stop, side by side, and laughing about something. They were both short, and skinny, but that was all that was similar about their looks. The taller of the two had slightly overgrown brown hair, and blue/green eyes. His skin was very pale, and he wore glasses.
The other one had fudge kind of coloured skin. His eyes were a chocolate brown colour, his hair was black, and short, and a few dark freckles were sprinkled across his nose.
" Wow," said the taller boy to Clemmy and Sarah, " I can't wait to get to Sky High!"
" Idiot," said the shorter boy, " what if they're just civilians."
" Oops," he grinned sheepishly, " are you?"
" Nope," they both smiled, and he looked slightly relieved.
" That's a relief. I'm Michael." He smiled.
" I'm Kieran," smiled the other boy.
Impressively then, there was a crash, and a shout of,
" Oww." Followed by a voice that was obviously "Greenday" girl shouting,
" What the hell do you think you're doing?" Clemmy, Sarah, Kieran and Michael all turned around to see what was going on.
A tallish girl, with shoulder length straight brown hair, tied back in a bandana, and with glasses covering green brown eyes, wearing jeans, and a beige jacket, appeared to have walked into the bad tempered red head, as she had been walking absentmindedly down the street.
" Sorry, sorry," she apologised, hurrying away from the moody girl, towards the others. " What's with her?" she asked them, nervously, is she always like that?"
" I dunno," shrugged Clemmy, " this is the first time I've met her. She said she has jetlag, so, maybe she's moody when she's tired."
" Please be that!" said the other girl. " I was just walking along, thinking about a formula I've been trying to work out, for pyramidal numbers, and the next thing I know, she's yelling at me." She grinned.
" What on earth are pyramidal numbers?" asked Clemmy.
" Well. It's a 3 dimensional version of triangular numbers, for which the formula is NxN + N-"
" Ok, I lost you ages ago. I hate math," admitted Clemmy.
" Sorry. I love math," she smiled, " anyway. My name's Emily."
" Cool, Mil," grinned Sarah,
" Please don't shorten my name,"
" Sure thing Em," smiled Sarah. Then she screamed, feeling someone tap her on the back. She spun around, and found an oriental boy looking at her.
" Excuse me," he asked, speaking English perfectly though with an accent, " I just got here from the airport, and I can't really read a map at the moment, as I've just flown over here from Korea, could you tell me the way to the tourist information,"
" Just tell us where you want to go," smiled Clemmy, cheerily,
" I can't really say-" he began, but they all knew what he meant.
" Ah, you're a Sky High pupil, aren't you," said Em, " this is the bus stop. Don't worry."
" How did you know-"
" I'm a mind reader," she grinned.
" I'm Chin-Mae." He grunted, jet lag was probably affecting him too. He sat down near the redhead, and started up his i-Pod.
As the bus came, they were all pretty calm. Greenday girl, who turned out to be called Wheels, (the name was on her bag next to her skateboard) was still reading the Greek book. Chia was preoccupied on his palm top, and trying to keep a conversation going with Kieran and Michael. Emily was talking to Sarah and Clemmy, and Chin-Mae was still sitting down listening to his i-Pod.
They all stood up, or shut up, depending on the actions they were in, and got on the bus, bored looking in Wheel's and Chin-Mae's case, and excited in everyone else's. They all sat down on the bus, Michael and Kieran sat together, as did Clemmy and Sarah, Emily and Chia, and Chin-Mae and Wheels.
It was a pretty normal bus ride, until the bus started flying!
They all screamed, well, apart from Chin-Mae and Wheels, who didn't look the screaming type, and had, in any case, managed to fall asleep, which the others put down to jet lag. Anyhow, the bus landed safely, and all was ok, so they streamed off the bus, after waking up the two sleeping beauties. They had the long boring speech, which none of them listened to, and then they went over to power placement.
" ok, I am Coach Boomer- " yada yada yada, the speech went on, and eventually it was time to show what they had. "Clemency Alistair" said Boomer, Clemmy went up, standing on the stage,
" I, err, turn into an otter," she did so, the otter was just an otter, although it had a blue stripe up its back,
" Sidekick," yelled Boomer. "Sarah Bennett," Sarah stood up,
" I can make a light bulb appear above my head," again she did so.
" Are all these powers pathetic or something, SIDEKICK! Andrew Chia, maybe you'll have a worthwhile power," Chia went up, and showed off his technopathic skills. " HERO, Elizabeth Jennings," up went Wheels, she showed her fire power" HERO, Chin-Mae Kim," he went up, he could channel his emotions into force, "HERO, Kieran Siebarajah," up went Kieran, he turned into a dog, " SIDEKICK! Michael Waite," up went Michael. He could cover anything in cheese, which involved a huge cheese explosion in their demonstration, "SIDEKICK, and we'll do everyone else once the cleaners have cleaned the gym, for now, lunch."
They all wondered to the cafeteria. They all sat together, although they were also joined by a boy called Ratboy, well, Ross was his real name, and a girl called Streak. Streak was an Australian girl, who was a Sound manipulator, could make horribly loud sounds, or undistinguishable quiet ones, and had earned the rank of hero. Ratboy could, you guessed it, turn into a rat. Sidekick.
" Wow, lessons this afternoon," smiled Sarah, I bet they're way better than the ones we had at my old school." She, Sarah, and Emily had a conversation on lessons, while Ratboy, Chia, Kieran and Michael discussed computers, and Chin Mae, Streak, and Wheels discussed the transfer home they would be staying in. After lunch they split up and went to their classes, apart from Emily, who had to go back to power placement.
A/N: Ok, so, it's notmy greates story, and sorry it's so short, the next chapter should be longer, please, just, review, thoughts, criticism, whatever, but seeing reviews makes me happy. Oh, and if anyone has better ideas for the titles name, please just, tell me, 'cause the name I have sucks, I know.
(PKU is a real disease, and my friend has it. It basically means that your protein levels have to be monitored carefully, and you can't take too much, or too little. Its full name is Phenylketonuria, It's a really rare disease. As Clemmy is based on this friend, I felt I had to put the disease in as well)
