Taylor was up one morning getting dessed. As much as she didn't want to go, she felt she had no choice. She pictured her first day at Sky High going incredibly bad. Unlike most other kids, her power wasn't just an ability. It had effected how she looked, and how she acted. Maybe it was just her own bad luck, but she felt like she'd be huge target.
Taylor's hair is messy, and she keeps it only to her neck, she has caramel colored skin, but she has plenty of pimples around her cheeks. Taylor had two powers, but they seemed balanced with a pretty big trade off. She could fly, and sense things coming. Such as an attack or someone coming toward her. However, the only reason she could fly is because she had grown large insect wings, and the only reason she could sense things is because she had antennae. Very similar to that of a bee or wasp. Her eyes were 3x larger than normal, and were all black, making it impossible to determine what she was ever looking at. On top of that all, she was very small for a high school student. Her insect traits also effected her growth, and she stands at a mere 4'11. Her hair is messy, and she keeps it only to her neck, she has caramel colored skin, but she has plenty of pimples around her cheeks
So basically, her power is that she's half-insect. It sucked, because for all the cool stuff she could do. No one wanted ever wanted to be around her. She dressed very simply, will bell bottom jeans, a yellow jacket, and some shoes her mom gave her. She always wore this motorcycle helmet her dad gave her because he told her about the dangers of flying. Last thing she needed was to crash into something and break her cranium.
Taking her lunch and boarding the bus after waiting, she sat completely silent trying to go unnoticed. She avoided her parents half the time, as even they were unnerved by her appearance. She didn't bother saying goodbye, as most conversations with her parents end up being awkward. On the bus, she sat still remaining silent. They went to the next stop and this red headed boy sat down next to her. He wore a bright red polo, and was kinda chubby. He squished her in there, blocking her in that seat. Taylor turned around looking out the window. It felt very uncomfortable, squished as if she were an actual bug.
The boy finally scooted over a little, giving Taylor some space back.
" Sorry, didn't see you there.." He said trying to get her to laugh.
Taylor looked away, not wanting him to actually see her. She knew her eyes look ominous and rustled people's jimmies.
" Why are you wearing that helmet?"
Taylor still didn't answer. She didn't like that he asked so many questions.
" No special reason.." Taylor finally answered. " I just...like it." She lied.
The bus went to that signature highway, and switched into flight mode and it started flying up to Sky High School.
She saw the other kids faces, she was used to flying so it wasn't that much of a biggie. The other seemed kind of nervous or even scared at the fact. The boy kept looking at her, wondering why she was trying to ignore him. He finally noticed she had antennae, raising an eyebrow.
" Are you an insect or alien?" He asked with a smile.
She took a quick glance in his direction, looking away quickly.
" Are they real?"
Taylor was feeling really nervous at this point, she couldn't say anything back. Wanting to end his suspicions, she moved her antennae. Quivering them around a bit, still looking out the window.
The bus arrived, landing rather abruptly.
" My name is Bob, Bob Willis." He said as he left the bus. Taylor said nothing, she soon followed suit leaving the bus and walking into the doors. She noticed all the other kids, who seemed pretty cool in comparison. Some could control ice, some could lift heavy objects with their super strength.
( I really might just be a bug here...) Taylor thought.
She followed the crowd that was going in the building. She went into the gym standing in the back of the crowd. Principle Powers gave a quick speech.
" Welcome Freshmen!" Principle Powers said, excitement in her voice.
" You will be here for four years, and what you learn and how you use it will determine your lives." " We will not only teach you what other children learn, but also how to control and use your individual abilities."
" Now Coach boomer, will put you through power placement." She disappeared, in whirl of energy.
Coach Boomer stepped out, as a large platform rose from the floor.
" Ok, here is what I'm going to do." Coach Boomer began, as he stepped onto the platform.
" I point you out, you come up here, and you show your power." " Yes, in front of everyone!"
" Should you compain, I will automatically make you a sidekick."
Taylor cringed at the words as he said them. She was glad to be short, and hid behind the crowd.
Coach Boomer picked out a random. A Korean girl, she stepped onto the platform.
" Name..." Coach Boomer asked, pulling out a clipboard.
" Soo Chung Lee." She said quietly.
" What's your power?"
" I can turn intangible.." She said, still hardly able to be heard.
Boomer didn't pay attention. He pressed the button and dropped the car.
The Car dropped, but it passed through her, and she climbed on top.
" Hero!" Boomer yelled, " Next."
More kids went, until they were down to the last 15.
Then Bob went. Taylor watched a little closely, realizing she was now visible to Coach Boomer.
" Name..Coach asked." " Bob Willis."
" What's your Power?" Coach Boomer asked.
" Size inflation, I can grow up to 50 ft tall."
Bob grew in size, picking up the car like a toy. He laughed holding it over Coach Boomer before putting it down, laughing.
" You are a Hero, or Villain..." Coach Boomer said.
" You're next!" Coach Boomer said, pointing at Taylor.
