They were normal teenagers...
"Want to go shopping? There's a BCBG Max Azria sample sales tonight at the West-Mall"
Until they got kidnapped for a scientific experiment
"What have you done to me! Let me go!"
"Ugh, this boy is useless. This experiment is useless! Let go of the kids!"
And get turned into the impossible.
A boy with golden hair lifts up his arm and concentrates on a lamp.
"Come hither" he says in a provoking voice, confidently staring at lamp.
The lamp slowly flies towards his hand.
When they realize they can't go back to normal...
"We're stuck like this. If we go back to that place that crazy scientist could keep us there and do God knows what"
"And if we go to the hospital... We'll be stuck at an asylum for crazies"
They embrace their abilities, and get the most out of it.
"Are you sure you can't give me a discount? Come on, I am so pretty!"
She hands her black Am-Ex, and squints her light blue eyes.
"That won't be necessary. It's on the house."
But like everything else in life, there is a downside.
"Why can't I read her mind? It just doesn't work anymore!"
"Maybe... When you start having a strong bond with somebody, your powers are immune to that person"
But that isn't a problem. Especially when you have a crazy scientist who will try to destroy you
"Wait- Aren't those the experiments?"
"Did that guy just run to the ice cream place and come back in less than five seconds?"
For ruining the experiment he worked so hard on for all of his life.
"You! You LIED to me! I spent thirty years of my LIFE to find a way to get super abilities, and you lie to me?"
"And don't event try to move; I will destroy faster than I created you"
These are the chronicles of Westchester's heroes.
A girl goes up to the a man in his fifties wearing rimmed glasses. "The world needs me now" she whispers.
Five teenagers walk out of a warehouse, slowly burning up in flames.
The World Needs Me Now.
The World Needs Me Now

Westchester, New York
Briarwood Academy
Friday, 12th December
12.15 PM
The Briarwood Academy's cafeteria's stale smell was invading Massie Block's nose. The students in Briarwood were now starting to flow inside the big area, grabbing their usual seats and deciding what kind of food they would eat today. Sushi? Pizza? Tacos? Or just a hamburger? The choice was unlimited. Briarwood Academy was the creme de la creme, they were the best of the best, had the best decorate classrooms, the best teachers who all graduated from extraordinary universities, and their library was more stocked than the New York Public Library. That also meant that they had the biggest choice of food, they had from Chinese to the French food.
Massie Block, and her little posse of friends were joining up table 18 and 19 together so they could eat together with their male friends. On today's menu; Pasta al Ragú for Massie, which meant pasta al ragú for the rest of the girls.
"So, what are we doing today?" Dylan Marvil, notorious red-head, well known for her famous mother Merri-Lee Marvil, the most known talk show host after Oprah Winfrey, and yes, more popular than Ellen DeGeneres, the girls from the View, Jay Leno, Tyra Banks, Carson Daly and yes, the list could go on forever. Very known for her red wavy hair that charmed more than half of Briarwood Academy's junior year.
"I just received an email from Daily Candy, apparently there's a sample sale in the West-Mall from four pm to eight at BCBG Max Azria? Are you in?" Massie announced as she checked her iPhone. Massie Block, easily recognized thanks for her light brown long hair, amber colored eyes, and best wardrobe in Briarwood Academy. She has more credit cards in her Gucci wallet, than you have socks in your socks drawer.
"Count me In" Alicia Rivera said as she put down the fork with the pasta. Alicia Rivera, acclaimed for her Spanish exotic looks, her dark hair, perfect Sports Illustrated model's body and her obsession for Ralph Lauren.
"In" Claire managed to affirm. Claire Lyons, praised for her platinum blonde straight hair, her actress past, her baby blue eyes, and those Keds she refused to go out when without them.
"Okay" Olivia said, not too excited. Olivia Ryan, acknowledged thanks to her fake nose, and good looks. She is also known as the poorest girl between the A-Listers, and for not being able to afford anything that their friends do. She had a nose job for health issues, but she also took advantage of it because she was not very confident of her slightly crooked one that made her look somehow like Paris Hilton.
"I'm absolutely in for it" Kristen, the last one of Massie's little posse exclaimed. Kristen Gregory distinguished thanks to her extraordinary brain. Her ability to maintain a high social status as well as keeping great grades and being soccer captain for the Briarwood Sirens, the girl's soccer team for Briarwood Academy. How did she do it? The million dollar question.
"Good," Massie said. "Carpooling in with Isaac?" She asked. They all agreed, and started talking to the soccer boys. Everything was normal. They talked about the usual things, the next Briarwood vs Westchester High game, the next school Winter Wonderland ball, their winter holidays. Little did they know, in just a few hours for five teenager their world as they knew it was going to completely turn around, and they'd start a completely different lifestyle.

Massie Block got out of the dressing room, puckering her lips that were carefully tinted in light pink whilst she showed off the outfit she had brought to the dressing room wondering if she should buy it or not. She glanced at all of her friends, asking what they thought. It looked great on Massie, the silky brown looked great on Massie, and the asymmetrical shoulders made her look really thin.
"Love it!" Olivia exclaimed, totally being honest. In her hand, she had only one item of clothing, obviously she couldn't afford anything here, not even in a sample sale. But she got used to walk into stores with friends, and come out with nothing while all of her other friends had five shopping bags.
"It looks great, Massie you should totally buy this and wear it later tonight at the A-Lister reunion in the Central Square." Alicia proposed, it would be a little bit over dressed, but she could make it casual by wearing tights and cashmere cardigan and maybe a coat over, since after all, it was in the middle of December.
"Great Idea! Thanks, I will!" Massie nearly shrieked for the excitement. Maybe she could make the noted Derrick Harrington fall for her over again, and maybe they could get back together and be the 'it' couple like they used to be in seventh grade. Nobody knew her crush on Derrick, after all it would be way too humiliating, he was the school player.
They all rushed to the cashier, and paid, Massie bought five garments of clothing and three shoes, Alicia bought three garments and one pair of shoes, Kristen bought a pair of shoes her parents recently had a raise. Claire Lyons bought a bag with her movie money. Olivia Ryan didn't buy anything like always. They got to the parking lot and got in Isaac's Range Rover, heading home for preparation.
---
They arrived in front of the Central Square, where they saw all the soccer boys playing with a black and white soccer ball, and some of them were just talking by the bench, and already started boozing up.
"Look who's here!" Chris Plovert shouted when he saw the six girls walking towards the benches occupied by the Briarwood Academy's most wanted. They all greeted each other, and then sat on the bench, discussing who was to win the championship. Obviously the Tomahawks, champions for over three years in a row.
"No, we will win, trust us here! We never been this prepared before and we always won" Cam acclaimed.
"Enough about soccer, let's talk about the upcoming school ball!" Massie said, when she had enough of the soccer talk. She glanced at Derrick Harrington, who was immaturely playing around with his soccer ball. "Who is asking who?"
"I heard Cam wanted to ask Dylan Marvil!" Kemp blurted out, immediately making Cam blush like a girl. He hit Kemp's abdomens hard for vengeance.
"I'd actually like to go with you" Dylan accepted, smiling with pleasure.
"Okay then, pick you up at seven?" Cam asked, now thankful that Kemp blurted out his thoughts. But he still needed to get him back. Dylan nodded. "I heard Kemp wanted to ask Strawberry out!" Everyone gasped with shock.
"I heard Josh wanted to ask Alicia" Kemp blurted again. No shock there, they had been together for over three years now.
"Well I heard Dempsey wanted to ask Claire to the dance!" Josh defensively shouted.
"Well, I heard Derrick Harrington wanted to ask" Dempsey stared, Massie's heart started speeding faster and faster anticipating her name. "Kori Gedman to the dance" Massie was left with her mouth open.
"I heard that Plovert wanted to ask Massie" Derrick said. Massie raised her eyebrow, Chris was not ugly, but if Derrick was going to ask Kori Gedman, she would have to go with Plovert. She smiled at him, letting him know she accepted.
"I heard Abeley was going to ask Olivia" He concluded. Olivia started jumping up and down with pleasure, she never knew Chris Abeley liked her! He was a total babe!
"It's freezing. Why the hell didn't I bring my BMW? It's freezing. I think I might want to go back. Who wants to come with me?" Massie asked, suddenly wanting to get away from all these people especially Derrick freaking Harrington. What on earth was he thinking?Kori Gedman? Was he out of his mind!?
"I will! I want to iChat with Chris Abeley" Olivia said getting up from her seat in the bench.
"I will, I'm barely wearing anything, I don't want to catch a cold before the dance. Cam, do you want to come with?" Dylan asked.
"Sure, Plovert, you should come too" Cam said. Okay, she didn't want these many people coming to her house, but she didn't care, as long as Derrick Harrington was out of her face.
"We've got to walk, my driver is now sleeping" Massie announced after she checked the time, it was one in the morning, how did time pass so fast? It was nearly impossible, all the talked about was soccer and the dance, and fooled around with the drinks and alcohol and stuff. They all nodded, ready for the challenge, and started heading to Massie's house.
They walked uphill for thirty minutes that seemed hours and hours. Massie's feet started to seriously hurt because of the heels. Dylan started to fake asthma attacks, and Olivia Ryan was about to faint for the exhaustion. Soon they found themselves resting in front of a house gate, looking like complete hobos.
A suspicious big and black mini van with tinted windows passed by slowly, making the five teenagers raise their eyebrows with suspicion. They brushed it away when it passed. "Shit. How long till we get there?" Olivia asked, letting them know that she was exhausted and all she wished to do was talk to Chris Abeley, even this late at night. Olivia was not one of the brightest people on earth, she didn't think much.
"It's like a fifteen minute walk from here" Massie said checking where she was right now. Right then, four men in a dark body suit walked towards them. One attacked Chris, another one attacked Cam, when they were close to defeated they put a cloth soaked with chloroform on their mouth, and soon both boys passed out.
"Oh my God, what do you want!!" Olivia shouted, as a man who made Cam pass out was now reaching for her. One man had already gotten Massie, she was on the floor next to Chris, and now Dylan was getting put to sleep. "I have money! How much do you need! Just leave me and my friends alone!"
The man didn't say anything, but got closer and closer to Olivia by the secon. He then slammed her on the wall-gate, and stressed the cloth on her nose as well. She felt dizzy. Don't pass out. Don't pass out.She kept on repeating to herself as she saw the black mini van parking right in front of them. The men grabbed Massie first and threw her on the back trunk which was quiet big. Then Chris Plovert, then Cam, and finally Dylan, right when they were done with Dylan, Olivia stopped trying to get away from the man, immediately stopped moving almost looking dead. The man took her in his arms and finally threw her in the back of the trunk.
