High School Drama
A little back story: Setting the Scene
Six years before these events had conspired; a 10 year old Benjamin Tennyson was given a watch, a witch like no other, seeming him the hero of hero's. And he was, as much as a 10 year old boy could be. He loved it, it made him different. Yet two years later he still gave it all up, traded in the supernatural for normalcy, he was no longer Ben 10, saviour of the galaxy. Just Ben Tennyson. High school student, a boy with only a tale to tell of his own heroism, and his single choice to leave it all behind. But the reason behind his decision is another story…
At sixteen, he was no different from anybody else; he got up in time for the school bus, worked at an average level, completed the homework assignments once he got home, and played soccer for the school team on weekends. No exceptional characteristics he could show. He was Just Ben Tennyson. Former hero.
Then there was his cousin, Gwen. Closer than they used to be, and a lot nicer towards one another, but she excelled in school, earning herself straight A's in all her classes. Participating in the schools gymnastics club, Tae Kwon Do classes, track team, book club, science club, Martial arts, horseback riding, softball, skiing, cross country and a whole bunch of AP classes. Personally, Ben didn't know how she did it all, and still maintain her A+ average. To him it made no sense, who could barely keep his own grade average from dipping below a C.
