Chapter 1
"Why won't he talk to me? Why won't he even look at me?" thought the black-haired beauty. Meet Isabella Lopez. A 16 year-old girl about to start her junior year at Sky High, along with her twin sister, Grace. What are their powers you ask? These sisters are psychics. They can see into the past and future (unwillingly, I might add), read minds, and move objects with their minds. But they also have their own, individual powers as well. Grace, the oldest sister by 1 minute, can control and create fire. Isabella can control and create ice and water. These twin sisters are the daughters of one of the most powerful super heroes ever to graduate Sky High. However, they are also the daughters of one of the most dangerous super villainess's ever to graduate that school as well.
Grace has always been the sister with decent relationships and was thought to be a great hero just like her father. Isabella had always had negative relationships and was thought be a future villainess like her mother. She also felt invisible, especially, to her old friend Warren Peace. The two of them were once very close, but when his father was put into solitary, he turned away from her and became a loner. Isabella still hasn't gotten over losing him as a friend, but had moved on, sort of. She had been thinking of Warren almost all summer. The last time they talked to each other was at the Homecoming Dance last year. Then he kind of shied away from her the rest of the year. She had heard his thoughts that night as well. "She looks amazing. I hope she understands why I did what I did." Those words kept repeating in her head, over and over again.
"Iz, wake up. It's time you wake up out of that daydream of yours and get ready for that school that you love oh, so much". "Would you stop with the sarcasm, Grace? I'm not exactly in the mood if you haven't been able to tell." Grace looked at her sister knowing exactly what she was thinking about. "You're still thinking about Warren aren't you?" "It's that obvious, huh?" "Just a little bit." "I can't help it. He was my best friend besides you, and now all he does is ignore me and turn away every time I just look at him. It's so frustrating!" Grace had heard Warrens' thoughts too. She knew exactly what her sister was thinking, and knew it was practically killing her inside. Grace knew the feelings that Isabella had for Warren, and those feelings weren't exactly feelings a friend has for another friend. Iz liked him. You could say that she loved him. She's loved him for as long as she could remember. Not because of his incredible good looks, but because that he was the only one who was there for her when their parents divorced, and was there again for her when her mother died. He was the greatest friend to her. But when the time came to be there for him, Warren wouldn't let her.
"I know it hurts Iz, but maybe it's you time you let go. He's happy with his friends, you should be happy with yours." "What friends, Grace? Do you mean those self-centered assholes that hang around us? They're not my friends. The only reason that they "like" us is because of our money, and don't pretend that you don't know that!" Grace was worried about her sister. "That's bull and you know it! They like us. Well they like me at least. You kind of scare them." "Well, they should be scared. The next time they begin a sentence with "Oh my God!" I'll sock them in the face." Grace was contemplating this in her head. She knew her sister was right. The kids that hang around them are constantly borrowing money from her and would never pay her back. Maybe it was a good thing she told them to piss off on the last day of school. "You are so right, Iz. Why don't we hang out with someone else this year?" "Why do we have to hang around anyone? Why can't it be the two of us?" "You know sis, that sounds great. Now get off your lazy ass so we can get to school." "Aww, do I have to?" said Iz jokingly. "Yes, you do. Now come on."
The flight to school was quiet. When the sisters reached the school they immediately went to go get their class schedule. "Yes! We have all of our classes together" exclaimed Grace. "Thank God, I won't be alone in class" stated Iz. "Crap, we have Medulla for first period!" "I thought you liked science, Iz." "I do, but it gets annoying when you're the only person he calls on." "Medulla calls on you all the time? Damn that does suck. He usually leaves me alone, but that's because he knows I'm horrible in science. I wonder if Jake is in our class." "Ugh, I still can't believe you're going out with dead-beat, prick, Grace. You could so much better." "Speak for yourself! Do I have to remind you about the asses you've dated?" "No thanks, but I still get the feeling that he's using you or something" "Iz, don't be so paranoid. He's a great guy, and plus, he's a really good kisser." "Sky High, I'd like to introduce my sister, Grace, the make-out queen." "Shut up Iz!" "What? It's true. Maybe you're the one's who's using him." "Ha, ha, ha, very funny, you should consider a career in comedy." "I should, uh?" said Iz with her usual sarcasm.
RIIIIIING! "Well, there's the bell, ready for hell on Earth, Grace?" "Not really." "Too bad, 'cuz here we go." As they walked into the classroom Iz wasn't exactly paying attention to where she was walking and bumped into someone and papers and a book fell onto the floor. "Oh God, I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going. This is all my fault!" Iz thought she had bumped Mr. Medulla, but was totally mistaken. She knelt down and started to pick up the papers. "Hey don't worry about it, Iz." Iz picked her head up and was meeting eyes with Warren, who had kneeled down to help her. "I haven't seen you in a while. How's everything going?" "Great. You haven't talked to me in practically forever and I got stood up by guys all summer. Yeah, things are going great." That's what Iz was thinking in her head, but she actually said, "Things are ok, and you?" "Not so bad." "Mr. Peace, Miss Lopez, this is not the time for flirting. Please find a seat, immediately" said Medulla. Iz couldn't help but to feel completely embarrassed. "Sorry Mr. Medulla." The twins found their seats at the science table in the middle of the room. "Iz, your face is totally red." "Crap, are you serious?" "Yeah. By the way, nice going with Warren. You literally fell for him didn't you?" "Shut up Grace." "Miss Lopez, I've had to call you twice in one day, don't let it happen again. That goes for you too, Miss Grace." "Yes sir", said the twins in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you are not comfortable where you are sitting because this year I am going to assign your lab partners and where you will be sitting," said Mr. Medulla. "AAAAWWWW" groaned the entire class. "I thought you might do that." He continued to assign partners when he came to Graces' and Iz' names. "Let's see, what shall I do with the Lopez twins, I know, I'll separate them." Grace and Is looked at each other in horror. He was actually going to separate them! None of their teachers has done that to them before. "Let's see, Miss Grace you will be with Mr. Sanders over there, and Miss Isabella, you will be in the front with Mr. Peace. And I certainly hope that I am not making a mistake pairing the two of you up, due to what happened at the beginning of class. Now everyone, you have all been assigned your partners and seats, now move it, move it, move it!" Grace took her seat at the opposite side of the room, and Iz took her seat in the front with Warren. Iz was a little nervous. She couldn't help it. Is hadn't talked to him in over a year, and now at the beginning of this year, he actually talked to her and they're lab partners. Iz was happy, but kind of suspicious at the same time. What were the odds that something like this was going to happen? As it turned out, Iz was actually being her usual paranoid self.
RIIIIIING! "All right then, I will see you all tomorrow. Enjoy your lunch" Grace quickly grabbed her sister and headed straight for their lockers that were right next to each other. "Iz, this is so great!" "What's so great? What the hell are you talking about?" "You know you and Warren being lab partners!" "I know it's great, but why are you so enthusiastic about it?" "Because this means that the two of you can rebuild your friendship. And I won't have to deal with your moping anymore." "Hey, I heard that!" "Heard what?" "What your thinking" "Oh, yeah sorry." "Hey, Iz, Grace!" called Warren. "You two want to come eat lunch with me and my friends?" He pointed towards Will, Layla, and the others. "Yeah, sure" said Iz. "Great. Come on. I would've asked you in class but the two of you rushed out so fast, I didn't get the chance to. By the way, why'd you leave so fast?" "Oh. It's 'cuz Grace forgot her lunch money at home and wanted to get some from my locker." "Oh, ok" "Nice save Iz." "Thanks, but next time, think before you act, ok?" "I'll try. But you know how I get."
Once everyone got their lunch, they found a table and started their conversation. "Grace, Iz, I haven't talked to you guys in long time. How are you two?" asked Will. "We're fine. Nothing's really changed at home, though" said Grace. "You three know each other?" questioned Warren. "Yeah, our dads were best friends when they came here, said Will. "That and don't forget that your parents are our God parents" added Iz. "That too" said Will, his mouth full with his lunch. "Wow, it really is a small world, isn't it?" said Magenta. "Wait, is your dad the Captain Neptune? exclaimed Ethan. "Sadly, yes." "Then that means your mom was the Psychick" said Ethan. "Wasn't she a villain?" asked Zack. "She was, but she straightened out after our dad proposed." "Didn't she die or something? Oww! What was that for?" Warren and Will had kicked Zack under the table. "Yes, she died from depression" said Iz sadly. "What was she depressed from?" asked Layla, trying not to upset the twins even more. "She was depressed from the divorce that our dad had given her two years before." "Asshole" "Iz!" "Oh c'mon Grace, like you weren't thinking the same thing!" "I take it that you don't like your dad very much" said Zack. "We hate him" said the twins at the same time. "That's putting it a little strongly, isn't it?" asked Layla. "No it's not. He knew that she would fall apart if he left her. He knew that we wouldn't be able to take care of her on our own, and he still left her, he gave her complete custody over us, too. It's like he wanted nothing to with us anymore. He wanted to be free, free from responsibility, free from everything! It's like he, like he…" "Like he didn't love us anymore" finished Grace. "Yeah, exactly."
"Wow. Who would've known that someone who was once a great hero could've become so coldhearted?" said Layla. "That's also the reason why my parents don't really talk to their dad anymore" said Will. "Yeah, instead they constantly check up on us" said Iz. "Really? They still do that?" asked Will. "Yeah, they do." "Why do Will's parents check up on you?" questioned Layla. "Because, our dad's never home" stated Grace. "His job requires him to travel the time. We only see him every other weekend. Even then we don't see him. He usually locks himself up in his office and doesn't come out for hours on end" said Iz. "Ok, I think that we should start a new topic" suggested Magenta. "I agree," said Layla, "what are your powers?" "Grace and I are both psychics. We're clairvoyant, telepathic, and telekinetic." "Wow, that's a lot of power. So you only got your mom's powers?" quizzed Ethan. "No, actually, we also got our dad's powers, too." Ethan's, Layla's, Mag's, and Zack's jaw dropped. "We didn't get both of them. Grace can create and control fire, and I can create and control ice and water." "That's still a lot of power" said Magenta. "Yeah, but over the years we got used to it" said Grace.
The rest of the day just flew by. It turns out that the twins and Warren had all of their classes together and was going to try to stay together in all of them. When Grace and Iz went home they felt so relieved, but happy at the same time. "Today was so great!" said Grace. "Yeah, it was. Especially for you 'cuz you have classes with your precious Jake." "Yeah, and we have all of our classes with your beloved Warren." "Yeah, we do." "Uh-oh" said Grace. "Uh-oh, what?" "You have that look in you eye." "What look?" "That look that you get when you get paranoid." "I just think it's weird that after over a year that Warren suddenly wants to be friends again, that's all." "My God Iz! You are way too paranoid! You need to relax. You of all people should know that" complained Grace. "Yeah, you're right." "Do you think that it'll be like this all year, Is?" "I hate to say it Grace, but probably not." "Why?" "Because, our entire life has been nothing but drama, why would it change now?" "True, but maybe it'll be different this year." "I doubt it, Grace. I extremely doubt it."
