Well I finally got around to writting my first chapter to my first "Sky high" Fan fiction. I really hope you like it! Comments feed me and my minions!
Chapter one
Show me what you can do
I woke up suddenly with my head aching and my arms sore. The dream had seemed so real that maybe it wasn't part of my subconscious. Slowly I got up to a sitting position and tried to recollect every inch of my strange dream.
Then there came a knock.
"Come in." I said with a loud yawn. My mother stepped in, her shoes clicked against my wooden floor. Her hair, which was normally tossed wildly behind her, was now up in a small bun. "Morning, Starla." She said sweetly, her voice still sounded like a bird singing. "Good morning mom." I replied as I stretched my still sore arms out in the air. I yanked back my arm once a sharp pain ran up to my wrist. "You had the dream again didn't you?" My mother asked. I gave a silent sigh and nodded. My mother sat at the edge of my bed and placed a comforting hand on my cold shoulder. "I'm sure its nothing." She said her words so reassuring.
I smiled. "Thanks mom, but I got to get changed or I'll be late." My mother quickly sprung off the bed. "Of course, you wouldn't want to be late on your first day." I nodded and tossed my sheets off my sweat covered body. "Oh, one more thing, don't let the seniors intimidate you. Also, don't forget even if you are a sophomore, the school will be new to you, so try and make some friends." My mother gave me a look and then closed the door behind her, giving me privacy.
Once I was dressed, wearing a white tank top with blue glitter butterflies on the front and faded blue jeans, I headed down stairs. "What's for breakfast?" I asked. "Um… just cereal… I'm sorry but I'm late for my business meeting. You sure I'll be alright finding your bus?" I giggled. "Yes mom, you're started to sound worried… you never get worried." I stated. "Well, I do worry about you. Have fun at school today." I smiled as she walked out the room, leaving me all alone in the house.
I finished my cereal and checked my watch. I still had a good five minutes. So, I grabbed the remote and turned on the living room television. "Late Sunday night, five teenage students were found missing after attending a local football game. No new advances have been made but the local authorities are doing all they can to being these teens home. And on other news…" The television went blank as I hit the "off" button. I didn't want to hear anymore about missing teens. It scared me; any form of violence worried me.
Yet again a checked my wrist watch. It was time to leave. Letting out a sigh I grabbed my sky blue backpack and headed out the door.
The wind picked up and my light brown hair flew behind me. "Why's it so windy?" I looked up and saw no clouds in the sky but just the bright blue atmosphere. I jerked my head forward at the sound of talking teenagers. There was a girl with red hair tied into pig tails. She was wearing a flowered t-shirt and a green skirt. I stepped closer and noticed a boy standing next to her, holding her hand. He had brown hair and was wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans.
I really wanted to come close to them and introduce myself but I was consumed with my shyness. I hung my head low and slowly walked their way.
That's when the bus pulled up. It was a normal bright yellow bus but there seemed to be something different about it. The door flung open. A smile curved across each of the strangers faces. "Hey Ron." They both said in unison. I tilted my head to see whom they were talking to. It was the bus driver, whom was wearing an orange trucker's hat.
They both walked onto the bus, leaving me standing alone on the sidewalk. "Are you coming or not?" I jerked my head up and saw Ron, the bus driver, leaning out of the vehicle looking straight at me. I stepped toward the bus and whispered, "Is this the Sky High bus?" Ron smiled. "You're new aren't you?" he asked. I swallowed hard and nodded. "I just transferred." I replied. "Well come on in. There should be a seat right next to Zach over there."
I climbed into the bus and found myself surrounded by strangers whom at that very moment had their eyes on me. Soon after enduring their embarrassing stares, I found the boy whom Ron had pointed out. Shyly I sat beside the boy who had bleached blonde hair. "Hi." I said in a quiet voice. "Hey, the name's Zach." He said holding out his hand. He seemed nice, this should be easy, I told myself. "I'm Starla." I said shaking his hand. "So is this your first year at Sky high?" He asked. "Yes, last year my mother thought it better for me to stay home schooled." Zach nodded showing he understood. "Well glad to have you here. Oh! There is someone you have to meet!" he said with excitement. "Who?" I asked curiously.
Zach turned to face the seat behind us. "Hey Will, Layla, I want you guys to meet someone." I blushed and turned slowly. Behind us sat the two teens I had seen before. "Guys, this is Starla, this is her first year at Sky High but she'll be in our classes since she's a sophomore." Zach introduced. I gave them a smile. "It's nice to meet you Starla, I'm Layla." The girl said her smile was radiating. "And I'm Will. So, are you nervous?" I blushed even more. "Just a little, I'm usually a very shy person so… it's going to be hard for me to make new friends." Will smiled. "Well, you don't have to worry about that. You got us. We'll show you around. So, you have two super parents?" I raised one eyebrow. "Excuse me?" Will turned to Layla and then back to me. "Are both your parents super heroes?" he asked again in clearer terms. "Well, my mom is but I haven't seen my dad since I was a baby." Will smiled. "Well that's cool, who's your mother?" he asked in curiosity.
I swallowed. "Hawk girl." I stated my head low. "No way! Your mom is way hot!" Zach said. I giggled, feeling a lot more comfortable then I did before. "She is pretty cool." I said smiling. "I think she's a friend of my parents… Jet Stream and the Commander." I grew wide eyed. "Yes she is… wow… strange coincidence."
"Get ready guys!" Ron shouted. "Ready? Ready for what?" I asked Zach. "Just prepare for lift off." He said with a sly smile. I felt the bus speed up as we headed toward the road that went off… to no where. "We'll crush!" I stated in panic. "Next stop, Sky High!" Seat belts fell down from no where and a safety bar came forward on my lap. The bus fell, gravity pulling it down to the rocks bellow. Then all of a sudden the rockets kicked in and we were flying. The students around me raised their arms and screamed with excitement. "Scared of flying Starla?" Zach asked, looking at my blank expression. "No, I'm just really used to flying that's all." I said with a bright smile. I did love flying… but not like this.
After the short bus ride we finally arrived at Sky High. Kids were all around the school, many of them using their amazing powers. I slowly stepped off the bus and looked in awe at my new school. "Well this is it guys, another year." I boy wearing orange stepped off the bus followed by a girl with black and purple hair. "Great…" the girl said with no sign of excitement. "Guys meet Starla, Starla this is Ethan and Maj." Will said pointing to the two. "Hello." I said kindly. All six of us stepped into the school.
It was huge and I was overwhelmed with a new found nervousness, larger then before but also this strange feeling of longing. "We have to head to the gym for a small "welcome back" pep rally." I smiled. "I love pep rallies." I told Zach as we stepped into the gym. "Well you might not like this one. You're going to be tested on your powers." I frowned. "Placement test, they still place you in side kick or hero?" I asked. Zach laughed. "Not since last year, now they just test your powers to see what level you are at. There is advance, and the medium class which I am in. Newbees usually never get into advance unless they are really good, like Will here." I turned to Will who was sitting next to Layla smiling.
"Are they a couple?" I asked stupidly. Zach nodded. "Yup, well I'm going to sit next to Maj, see you around!" I smiled and watched him walk off leaving me with no one to sit next to. I sat slowly down in one of the back rows and sighed. This was going to be a long day.
"Is anyone sitting there?" I looked to see I tall muscular guy standing next to me. He said dark black hair with one strand dyed red. I blinked out of my trance and shook my head. "No, no one's sitting here." I said looking at the empty seat next to me. The boy nodded and moved into the sit beside me. I wanted to look up at him once more but was afraid my eyes with become glued to him forever so I decided on keeping my head down.
Finally after a long silence I caught the boy giving me a strange look. "So your Starla, the new girl." He said. "Yes, how'd you know?" I asked. "I overheard Will." He said nodded his head toward him. I sighed and placed my backpack next to me. "Warren." The boy said. I looked up, confused. "My name's Warren." He said. I smiled slightly. "Oh it's very nice to meet you Warren." I stuck out my head to shake his. Yet, he sat there staring at me, not moving. "Do you not like shaking people's hands?" I said, letting my hand fall into my lap. He chucked and shook his head. "No." He lifted his hand and in seconds it was covered in flames. "Oh I see," I said giggling from my own stupidity.
Suddenly the gym got dark and a woman with black hair stepped forward. "Welcome back students to Sky High!" she said and everyone cheered. "Who's that?" I asked Warren. "Principal." He stated. The woman smiled. "Now before you can head off to your classes we must do our power testing. The new students will be either placed in an advanced or medium class according to their ability control." I swallowed, dreading the thought. "First up will be Starla Bright." I slowly stood up and faced Warren. He gave me a slight smile that helped my nerves. Once I was on the gym floor, a light beamed right on me. The gym teacher stepped in front of me. "Alright now, all you have to do is show us what you can do with your powers. Do you understand?" He asked, his voice booming. "Yes I do." I answer. "Ready? Go!" He commanded. I looked out at the students watching me and then got into my steady position. I quickly raised my hands above my head. "Flight Ignite!" I shouted. I had always hated the lame phrase by it helped me to activate my ability.
Suddenly pure white angel wings emerged from my shoulder blades and I lifted off the ground. The student's jaws dropped and I heard a slight gasp of shock from many. I fell around the gym once at top speed sending hat flying every which way. "Alright I guess we are done…" The gym teacher began. "Not really." I replied. I crossed my hands over my crest. Bright gold like flames formed around my fists. I threw them in front of me and blasted a punching bag at the back of the room into a million pieces. There was silence at first and them loud applause. I smiled and the blush rose from my neck to my cheeks. "Flight down." I whispered and my wings vanished as I hit solid ground. "Amazing! I don't think we've ever had someone with two powers besides will stronghold. Advance!" I smiled widely and slowly made by way back up to my former seat. The students cheered. "Alright Bright!" I heard Zach say and I smiled and waved at him.
I looked up and saw Warren sitting still where I had left him. I sat down without saying a word. "Usually I don't compliment people but… that was pretty amazing." He said, not even looking at me. "Thanks…" I said shyly. "Are you in the advanced classes too?" I asked, breaking the dead silence. "Yes, so I guess I'll see you in class." He said swinging his backpack across his shoulder as he left. A smiled curved across my lips as I watched him go. I saw him look my way and give me one in return.
