High School Heroes: New Beginnings
Summery
Have you ever wondered what the Heroes were like before they got their powers? Or at least before most of them got their powers… Would their lives be different if they all went to the same high school? If they were all around the same age? This is freshman and sophomore year. This is only the beginning.
Chapter 1: Perspectives
Starting a new school can be different for different people
The car pulled around the corner and the school came into view. A new school, a new start, well, not quite so new. He knew that he would already have a reputation: brother of the quarter back. Still, he would avoid that group as much as possible. His brother was a different person during the school year. More stern and, after school, a bit tempermental. Peter always had to take it when Nathan was having a bad day and he didn't want to have to deal with him during the school day too. He was bearable on the weekends.
"We're here ," The driver said. Peter quickly ran a comb through his hair, grabbed his bag and opened the door.
He'd never been to public school before, but his mom said it would help him learn about the real world and how to deal with the 'lower class'. Peter was glad that he was going to public school (even if his mom was a bit prejudice), and he hoped the kids here wouldn't be as stuck-up as at his old private school.
Claire couldn't believe that she was already in highschool. A new school, a new state, she didn't know anyone here in New York! She missed all of her friends in Texas, even though some chunks of her eighth grade were missing. Her dad had told her they had to move because he was given a promotion at the new Primatech building.
Still, she was confident and ready to start over, after all, how much different could it be? She scoffed. Oh no, no difference between Texas and New York. She brushed on a layer of mascara and applied a shade of lipgloss.
"Ready Claire Bear?" Her dad called up
"Ya!" She replied, rubbing her lips together. She looked herself in the mirror. "You're going to be great," She said to her reflection. Her reflection agreed.
Once inside Peter took in the strange new surroundings. The building was about the same size as his old school, but with a lot more people. And a lot more lockers. It would take him forever to find his!
Suddenly there was a cry from behind. Turning to face it, he saw four or five guys cornering one boy. They were clearly older, probablyThe one in front, the leader, knocked the books out of his hands and the others laughed. Wow, this stuff never happened at my old school. Peter thought, approaching the ongoing fight.
Tracy was actually glad that school was starting again. Boys stared as she walked down the hall, as usual. She received the occaisional wolf whistle and would always smile that 'cute that you think you're actually in my league' smile. She approached her open locker and noticed a girl unloading her things into it.
"You're here early" Tracy said. Candice stuck her out and, seeing it was Tracy, smiled.
"Actually I'm late. My parent signed me up to take in an exchange student," She sighed and rolled her eyes in disgust. Tracy smiled. They had been friends since 6th grade and Tracy knew that Candice wasn't exactly the nicest person in the world. Of course, that was part of the reason she liked her. They told eachother everything. "I was supposed to be here an hour early, but like I'm gonna waste a perfectly good hour of sleep!"
Tracy sighed and smiled. "Where's she from?"
"I don't know, but she better be fashionable. I don't want to be seen with a geek." Candice said
At first he just watched, not sure that he could do anything. After all, he was just one person and this whole high school thing was still new to him. Then one pushed him against the wall and lifted his fist as if to hit him and Peter couldn't take it anymore.
Running at them, he swung his backpack hitting the leader in the back. The boy was dropped and quickly ran in the other direction. Peter smiled at his successful rescue. Unfortunetly, his triumph was quickly diminished as he noticed the group was now glaring at him. One thought pounded loudly in his mind that he decided to obey. Run!
Soon he was racing through the halls of his strange new school, one freshman followed by a small gang of angry sophomores. He was getting out of reach and taking the lead until he collided with a tall figure with glasses.
oo, I wonder who would be that tall person with glasses? three guesses, cmon ;) srry, this first one's kinda boring but it gets better! (lots more chracters introduced in chapter 2) first Heroes fanfic so be nice! Leave a comment :D
