There once was a classroom all burning with fire. The teacher glared at Aleks and said "So it's detention you desire?" He...
Zandra scribbled in her notebook pouting out her lips trying to think of something else that could rhyme. She turned to her lovely redheaded friend Aida and smiled. "What rhymes with asshole?"
Aida rolled her eyes. "You know he can't control the fire sometimes." As the bell rang she lifted her satchel onto her shoulder. " You know how emotional chemistry makes him." Her tone couldn't have gotten more sarcastic if it pleaded...but sarcasm probably wouldn't sound to convincing anyways.
The school name? Camellia boarding school. It wasn't even really a school. Think Xavier's School for Gifted Youngers but with more freedom. The children are all mutants with no where to go. No homes.
It's pretty lenient actually. They seem to be going more for the Bed and Breakfast vibe. There is no curfew because...The owners have no false hopes that their students won't sneak out. Most of the kids are respectful enough to ask. They wouldn't be anywhere without the owners. No one actually knows what they are like because they never see them but the teachers are suitable enough.
Aida sat at the lunch table across from her best friend Zandra. Aida was a petite girl with long red hair. Her ability? Teleportation and healing. She can teleport anywhere and any time period she can think of. The best part is that she can take people with her. Zandra sat across from her chewing on a sandwhich. Her hair medium length and orange but that is always subject to change. It isn't her power she just obsesses over hair dye. Hair real power is Telekinesis and a rather annoying sonic scream. It's even worse because she woke up almost every night screaming. The whole house knew about her nightmares.
Zandra pulled her notebook back out and took another bite making jelly drip down to her paper. "NO!" She yelped lifting her hand and making the jelly float in the air for a few moments. " That was almost a tragedy."
Aida smirked. "Now I don't know if tragedy is stretching a little but definately a drama!"
Two boys walked passed them conversing. One was Mason Matthews, a boy who climbs walls and has superhero senses. The other a redheaded boy Aleks Bobrov, He obviously makes fire. The only problem is that they are emotion based and if he drifts off to sleep, which is every day, and his dreams get out of hand the room can catch fire. Luckily the teacher controls water but they often butt heads.
Zadra lifted the jelly with her eyeballs. She recently learned not to use her hands. "Now to eat it or to throw it at the boys."
Aleks sat beside Zadra and grabbed her pudding cup. " I think it's safe to say you probably shouldn't be eating this. I think your figure is getting out of hand." He went so far as to pat her stomach.
Mason ran up to him grabbing his arm. "Dude..Telepath!" Aida shook her head. "It's also a douchebaggy thing to say! Do NOT make me send you back to the roaring twenties again Aleks."
Aleks laughed. "Oh she can hardly lift that jelly what damage do you think she can do to me?"
The telepath started shaking and the jelly rippled in the air. "Kindly kiss off and die!" She growled as the jelly flew into his hair. "Enjoy having to actually take a bath. Maybe use soap once in awhile!" Aleks stood up turning to her. his eyes went black. "I am going to scorch you. You know that right?" The grass next to the table caught on fire. She stood bumping into him and grabbed her things stomping out the fire. "Aida dearest? Shall we go back to our room?"
Aida nodded turning to Mason. "You know if you two weren't such assholes to us..We would probably make a good team. I bet we could be friends but for some reason there is a vendetta against red-headed girls!"
Mason shrugged. " It's probably the hair dye you two use so much."
She scowled. "Go to hell Mason...Or maybe the eighteen hundreds!"
Mason stepped back. "That wasn't funny! I almost got killed you know that right?"
A smile spread on her face. "Maybe second times the charm?" And with that the two girls skipped off to their room.
"Hey Aida...You want to go out tonight? I think that a club is in our future."
"So Zee, You can see the future now too?"
"Noooo but Professor Tillingsley told me I officially can drive out anytime I want! I don't have to get us back before midnight...Even though you could just take us back."
"Zandra! You know how scary it can be!" Aida skimmed her closest. "So what is the plan for tonight? Is it going to be a late one. I think that if I wear comfortable shoes I shouldn't wear something sexy."
"No no Definately wear something sexy!" She pulled an outfit out. "How does this one look?"
Aida smiled. "Awesome as always..I demand that you give me some fashion sense."
Zandra scuttled over to Aida's closet and searched around. "AH! Here put this on withhhh.." She pulled out a skirt. "This. It'll even look good with comfortable shoes." They got changed and stepped into the hallway only to be stopped by two ogres.
Mason was on the ceiling and his head dangled overtop the girls while Aleks simply stood with his arms crossed. "So Mason tells me you two are going out tonight and didn't think to invite us."
Mason fake pouted. "How cruel. We are terribly hurt." He did a flip pushing off of the wall and landing on his feet crossing his arms to match Aleks. "Can we come with you? We won't even talk to you guys until it's time to go."
Zandra shook her head. "Nooo way absolutely no way. I don't want your stench in my car!"
Aida nudged her side. "Don't be too rude. They said they would be invisible the whole night."
With a sigh she gave in. "Fine, but you two will stay silent in the back seat alright?"
Aleks smirked. "Oh absolutely!" He saluted.
He lied. It was nothing but headbanging to the music on the radio that didn't call for it and backseat driving.
"Hey..heyyy. I know the speed limit says 30 but..I mean..you don't have to exaclty go that fast." Aleks started kicking Zee.
She reached around the back seat and started smacking him. "NO! BAD!" She yelled starting to laugh.
As they reached the club they stepped inside smiling. "I know it's an underage club but I absolutely love it here." Aida exclaimed stepping to the dance floor.
"Well I think it's time for me to get some Dr. Pepper!" Zee skipped to the bar.
The two boys shrugged and walked out to the dancefloor to look for some 'foxy ladies.'
Zee sipped on her drink smiling as a man walked over and sat beside her. "Hi..I'm Zane. You wanna dance?" He gave a charming smile. How could she resist? Taking one last chug of her soda she stood and nodded. "Shall we?"
They dance for about an hour until Zane exhaled. "Hey do you mind coming outside with me to smoke?"
Zee shook her head. He seemed harmless enough. She stepped outside and they walked until they reached an alleyway. She stopped and started backing up. "I think I'm going to go back inside actually." A large man walked up behind her and pushed her into the alley. She fell on her hands and knees and tried crawling back out but was basically tossed against the wall.
"I...I'll scream!"
"I'll cover your mouth sweet cheeks." The oaf said in a disgusting voice. The younger man from the club covered her mouth and tried holding her still. The other man grabbed her shirt and literally started ripping it. She kicked him hard in the junk which turned out to be a mistake as he punched her hard across the face. She gasped and her knees gave out. Panicked, she wasn't able to lift anything with her mind. The only thing she could do was to scream.
Opening her mouth against the hand she let out a loud screech. The man's hand started vibrating but that was before he had to cover his ears making it even louder. They were both on the ground twitching in pain as she ran from the alley. As she was running Aleks ran up to her and wrapped his arms around her tightly. She buried her face in his chest.
"Go kick his ass right now!" She cried. He nodded and took off his hoodie handing it to her. "I didn't look I promise.." He muttered stomping into the alley.
As she zipped it up she cried harder seeing Mason and Aida run up to her. "Good God hun! W..where did Aleks go?" Aida's question was answered by the younger man stumbling out of the alley coughing. Alek's walked out holding the older man and walked up to Zandra.
"Now I want you to apologize to the nice lady! Hell it wouldn't be so indecent to even buy her a new shirt!"
The man sniffled as blood ran from his nose. "I am so sorry miss for what I did." He growled as Aleks threw him to the ground. "Go to hell asshole!" He turned back smiling.
"Heh did you guys see that? I kicked his ass." Mason gave him a high five. "Hey Zandra..I um..I can drive okay? I promise I'm a good driver. You should probably just...relax in the back seat."
They were blocks from the house. Zee was asleep in Aida's arms and Mason was passed out against the window. Mason suddenly slammed on the brakes sniffing the air. "Shit..." He muttered. Aida leaned up from the backseat. "Mason? I can't help but voice my concern. What's wrong?"
He shook his head. "We can't go back." Zee shot up. "What? Why not?" She started crying. "I want to go home Mason."
Aida flicked him clenching her jaw. "Of course we can go back Mason!..It's probably a good idea not to screw with us tonight! You guys were doing so well being nice don't ruin it now!"
"I'M NOT! Aleks and I will walk back and get everyone's things."
Zee sniffled. "I will physically move this car if you don't.."
Mason turned back blinking. "Actually I need your help. I will drive us there but when we get there..you have to help me."
"Whatever just take me home."
As they drove to the house the three who didn't know what was going on stared horrified as their only home was in flames.
