Disclaimer-I don't own Sky High. I only own Ava and her family.
The first day of school, I was awoken by my alarm clock on my phone. I hopped out of bed, to hear the glorious sound of my 13 year old brother tormenting my 8 year old sister. And if that wasn't enough, my 19 year old sister had her music blasting, almost bursting my eardrums. I was very annoyed that morning, not just because of my siblings, but because I was dreading school. Not that I didn't like school or anything, but because all I wanted was the comfort of my bed; after getting to sleep till 10'o'clock during summer vacation, I was pretty tired from waking up 7:30 that day. The only thing that morning that gave me the slightest bit of happiness was one of my favourite songs, silently playing through my head over and over again, and even that got annoying.
Before I continue, I think it's best to introduce myself. I'm Ava Sanchez. I'm normal American teenager, brought up in Maxville. I wasn't pretty, but I wasn't ugly either-I was average. Long, wavy, dark brown hair, olive coloured skin, and chocolate brown eyes. I wasn't curvy, but I wasn't not curvy either. I had two sisters one younger, one older, and a younger brother. My mom and dad were normal parents, my mom working at home, and my dad constantly at work in the office, early in the morning and late at night. See, average. The one thing that isn't normal about me is that I have superpowers. Yep, that's right superpowers. I can teleport, and I have telekinesis. It's pretty cool, but you'll learn more my powers later.
Anyway back to the story, after jumping out of bed, I strolled over to my closet to pick out my outfit for that day. I needed to dress to impress, first day of high school, I had to make a good impression. In the end, I chose a navy blue, short dress, navy blue, lace cardigan, and plain, white converse. I skipped along to the bathroom, to have a quick shower and brush my teeth. As soon as, I was out of the bathroom, my older sister Sophia came walking past. She took one look a me and sniggered.
"What?"I asked irritated.
"Now, I see why people call me the fashionable one."she replied.
"Well, at least I don't look like a walking pompom."I retorted.
"It's called back combing your hair. Not that you care about fashion."she said, before walking downstairs.
I walked in my bedroom, quickly drying my hair, letting it flow naturally. I put on simple make-up, blusher, eye-liner, and mascara. Swiftly grabbing my school bag, I jogged downstairs, to see my mom standing the toaster, and my younger brother, Luke, hitting my younger sister, Lauren.
"Luke, stop it. Your never gonna get girlfriend acting like that."I informed, whilst ruffling his hair.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Luke scowl, and Lauren, stick her tongue out at him. I smiled at their behaviour, before walking over to my mom.
"Hey mom."I said
"Hey sweetie."she replied.
"Where's Sophia?"I asked.
"Gone to see her boyfriend.."replied my mom with an eye roll.
She never really like Sophia's boyfriend, and neither did I, he was stupid, big-headed idiot, and even though Sophia and I argue a lot, I know she can do better.
"Are you looking forward to your first day at Sky High?"asked my mom.
Sky High. Most of you have probably have never heard of it. It's a school for people like me. People with superpowers. Not a normal high school. I wasn't going alone though, my two long term friends Will, and Layla were going as well. Layla's like a nature person, growing trees and all that stuff, and Will, Will hasn't got his powers yet, I feel bad for him. Only Layla and I knew he hadn't got his powers yet, not even his parents knew, probably a bad idea for them to know, his parents are Commander and Jetstream, the best superheros around, I think it would be a disappoint for them to find out their son didn't have his powers yet.
"Yeah, it should be pretty good. I mean, Layla and Will are there."I stated.
"You three will have lots of fun there."said my mom.
"How would you know? Neither you or dad have superpowers, so you've never been to Sky High."spoke up Luke.
Yep, that's right. Neither my mom or dad had superpowers, I got them passed on from my Grandmother, but for some reason my parents didn't, it's a mystery we'll never uncover, but oh well, some things are meant to stay a secret.
"Shut up Luke. You don't have powers either."I argued.
"I will soon though."he stated, before folding his arms.
Just then the toast finished toasting, but it was burnt. My mom isn't the best cook in the world, but you know.
"I'm sorry sweetie. This was your breakfast,and..."started my mom.
"It's fine mom, I'll get something at Will's. That reminds me I better get going before they leave without me. Bye mom."I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye sweetie."she replied.
"Bye Lauren. Bye Luke."I said.
I heard faint murmur of a 'bye', before slamming the door shut, and heading off to Will's. As soon as I got there, I saw Layla sitting at the table, and then I saw Will's mom, Josie, cooking.
"Hey Ava."said Layla.
"Hey Layla."I replied.
"Hello Ava, would you like some eggs and bacon?"asked Josie.
"Yes please Mrs Stronghold."I answered.
Just then Will's dad, Mr Stronghold or Steve, walked into the kitchen. He walked towards the table.
"Hello Layla, Ava."he said.
"Hi Mr Stronghold."I replied.,
"Hey Commander."said Layla.
"Commander?"he questioned.
Layla pointed to her eyes, in sign that he wasn't wearing his glasses. He sighed, and nodded in realisation, before grabbing his glasses from his shirt pocket, and putting them on.
"Thanks Layla."said Mr Stronghold.
"I can't believe you three are starting high school. It seem like just yesterday, you three were swimming naked in the kiddie pool."said Mrs Stronghold.
"Mom."moaned Will, walking into the room. "Hi Layla. Hi Ava."
Layla and I smiled at him. I swear it looked like Layla was going to burst at him acknowledging her first. You see Layla has had a crush on Will for ages, and I'm the only one who knows about it, and it's killing me that Will's too blind to see it. Just then a phone rang. Mr and Mrs Stronghold both picked up a phone.
"Josie, it's the other one."informed Mr Stronghold.
Everything suddenly got serious, as Mrs Stronghold walked over to her husband.
"Go."ordered Mr Stronghold to the person on the phone. "I see...Thank you Mayor."
Mr Stronghold turned back to his wife, who had a questioning look on her face.
"There's trouble down town." informed Mr Stronghold
"Oh shoot! And I really wanted to see Will to the bus."said Mrs Stronghold, while her husband walked off. "I remember his first day of pre-school, he wouldn't let go of my leg."
"Mom."moaned Will.
Mrs Stronghold gave Will a quick kiss on the cheek, before walking off.
"Oh and Will, remember a lot of the people at Sky High, will only have one superhero parent, and in Ava's case none, not two. So try to not show off."said Mr Stronghold.
"Oh, don't worry dad, I'll keep it low key."assured Will.
Once Mr and Mrs Stronghold were gone, Layla used her powers to make there dead flowers brand new, and Will turned on the TV.
"Reports on the situation down town. Let's check with the picture from news chopper five."said the news reporter.
Suddenly a giant robot appeared on the screen, but luckily Mr and Mrs Stronghold or Commander and Jetstream were there. No surprise at all, they beat the robot. And Will was expected to do that one day, and he didn't even have his powers, I felt really bad for him, all the pressure he had to put up with.
"They are good."commented Will.
A few minutes later we were walking to the bus stop. It was sort of a quiet walk, considering hardly anyone was out at that time.
"I know it's our first day, but I already can't wait to graduate, and start saving mankind."said Layla.
"And womankind."I added.
"And animal kind."added Layla.
"And the rainforests."finished Will.
"I just feel really good about this year."explained Layla.
"I have a really good feeling there's gonna be some cute guys."I joked, Layla and Will laughing along with me.
Suddenly a bus pulled up, time for school. Fun. As soon as the doors opened we hopped on, Will being first, Layla second and me third.
"Morning."greeted the bus driver.
"Is this the bus to Sky High?"asked Will.
"Sssshhhh. What are you crazy?"said the bus driver quickly closing the doors. "I guess you want every villain in the neighbourhood to hear?"
"No, sorry."apologised Will.
"What's your name?"asked the bus driver.
"Er, Will Stronghold."answered Will.
"The son of the Commander and Jetstream?"questioned the bus driver.
"Yeah."sighed Will, nodding.
"Everyone, it's Will Stronghold, son of the Commander and Jetstream."announced the bus driver, standing up. "Name's Ron Wilson, Sky High bus driver. If there's anything I can do to make your journey more enjoyable. Please let me know. You two, up, the seat behind Ron Wilson, belongs to Will Stronghold."
I looked to see a cool looking girl wearing purple, and having purple streaks in her hair, and a geeky looking boy wearing an orange jumper.
"It would be an honour."said the boy, standing up.
"It's fine you don't have to."said Will.
"No, no, I want to, you're third generation man. Magenta get up."he said to the girl sitting next to him.
"Why? He only needs one seat."stated Magenta.
"So he can sit with his girlfriend."said the boy pointing to Layla, while I stifled a laugh.
"Layla? No, she's just my friend."informed Will.
"Yeah, totally. He's like my brother."agreed Layla, obviously lying.
"Well, in that case. Hi, I'm Larry."said a geeky kid taking off his glasses, and standing up.
At this point, I failed to keep a laugh in, and it just burst out. Eventually we found a seat with our friend from middle school Zach.
"You, Will. Hey how you doing, buddy?"said Zach, giving him a 'bro hug'. "Hey Layla. Ava, the girl who can't hold in a laugh."
"Zach, the weird glowstick kid." I said high fiving him, before taking a seat next to Layla.
"Were you really joking about the cute guy thing before?"asked Layla.
"Nope, there better be tons, or I'm not going back."I admitted, whilst laughing at myself, Layla joining it.
"See any on the bus?"questioned Layla.
"Nope, but there will be cute older guys."I said giggling, again Layla joining in.
Suddenly the bus came to a halt, scaring everyone. A boy walked onto the bus, looking confused at everyone's scared faces.
"That's everybody."stated Ron, changing his hat, and pulling off his badge to reveal a Sky High one underneath it. "Next stop, Sky High."
The bus started driving again, and I looked out the window to see us passing some orange cones. Well, that usually means roadworks.
"Where are we?"questioned Layla, to no one in particular.
Suddenly a seatbelt and bar came over every passenger, making us yelp in fear.
"Hang on back there."shouted Ron.
Surprisingly, I saw a road ends sign, and I almost screamed in terror. And the bus drove past it and we were falling. Everyone was screaming, this was how I was going to die, screaming on a bus, with my friends, and I have really girly scream. Suddenly the bus pulled up, so it had wings, but everyone still screamed. Where were we going? What was happening?
"There she is Sky High."announced Ron.
We all looked to see a school floating in the air. Guess that's why it's called Sky High. Ron started explaining a bunch of stuff I didn't understand, so I just looked at the view, it looked nice enough, hopefully it was.
"Smooth and easy."said Ron, dropping the bus roughly."Sorry!"
As soon as the doors opened, we all walked off.
"Word of advice, don't miss the bus, 'cos the bus waits for no one."informed Ron."Except for you Will Stronghold. If you're ever running late or running early, or just wanna talk. Give me a call."
"Thanks Ron."said Will, awkwardly taking his card.
"Wow, I'm glad I get the bus with you, because I'm most likely gonna be late."I said, Layla and Will nodding in agreement.
