Sky High 2: To Walk a Hero's Path

It was just another Monday; except this was the first day of the new school year at Sky High. Something that Raven Star had been dreading since the day her mother told her.

"What?" Raven screamed

"Raven it's perfect! You'll be the first…."

"I know… But do you really think that's a good thing?"

"It's a great thing! Its ground breaking! Oh wait til thatSonic Boomsees you! He'll faint on the spot!" She snickered.

"Fine I'm only doing this because I don't want to be like you."

"What's that supposed to mean!"

"You know what it means. You know exactly what it means." Raven walked to the door.

"Raven! You come back-" Before she could finish Raven had slammed the door.

She was standing at the bus stop recalling these memories. On one hand she wanted to go to Sky High and prove herself a hero. On the other hand she didn't want to because she hated High School all together. Her freshman year was horrible; and that was at a regularHigh School. Imagine a school with students that had super powers? Raven shivered at the thought. She could have run and not go to school. But then her mother would kill her, revive her, and then send her packing back to the school. She didn't want to go, but on the other hand she did. Blast it all! But before she could even make a move the bus came to pick up the remaining students. Her.

Getting on the bus she was greeted by a large, plump fellow. Who introduced himself as…

"Hi! I'm Ron Wilson- Bus driver! How are ya Miss?

"Raven….Raven Star" Ron smiled at her.

"Well Raven, welcome aboard and take a seat." She was thankful that Ron didn't recognize her name. She nodded and quickly spotted a seat near the back of the bus.

She seat she found was next to a guy with shoulder length pitch black hair with a red strip down the side, almost like Ravens except her hair was longer (above the chest) and had red on the tips. He was reading a book called The Contender. Heh, a boxing book.Raven thought.

"Is this seat taken?" The guy looked up at her with intense brown eyes, like he was trying to scare her. She looked back at him unfazed. Who does he think I am, a nervous little 12 year old?He continued to glare, but Raven matched his gaze with a bored look of her own.

Somewhat puzzled as to why his intimidation unfazed the new student, "No" Was the simple answer he gave to her. Raven rolled her eyes to dismiss his reply.

"Well ok then." She started to sit when she jumped back as the seat lit on fire.

"Whoa there Sparky," She threw her hands up in surrender. "Don't ruin the fabric now." She turned to walk back to the front of the bus when someone tapped her on the arm.

"Wanna sit here?" Raven turned to see a red head girl dressed all in green. She was soft and it seemed that she glowed with vitality and, well simply put, sunshine. She smiled kindly as she patted the seat next to her.

"Thanks. At least somebody around her has a bit of common courtesy!" She said loudly as she sat down. The seat was directly across from the fire guy so she knew that he'd heard her. He just smirked and didn't even look up. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Don't mind Warren. He's just like that." She said. Raven looked back at him then turned back to the girl.

"You don't gotta tell me twice." The red head smiled again.

"I'm Layla."

"Raven."

"So you're new here? Why didn't you come freshman year?"

"I was at a regular school."

"Didn't you parents know about Sky High?"

"It's not that simple."

"Oh" She looked sort of hurt.

"Well you don't have to tell me." Raven heard the sadness in Layla's voice and quickly tried to make the best of the conversation.

"I didn't mean to say it that way it's just…"

" No no I was being nosy. You can tell me in time."

"Sorry." Raven mentally kicked herself.

"Well uh…don't be!" Layla said happily again.

"I could help you around the school if you want." Layla suggested, eager to brighten the situation.

"Uh, yeah. That would be cool." Raven fumbled her reply. Raven and Layla glanced at each other, having one of those awkward first meeting moments. Raven began to open her mouth to ask Layla what grade she was in when something sprung out from the back of her seat.

"What the-" Raven started, but she realized she was strapped to her seat by a system of beats in a racer like fashion. Raven popped her head into the isle to look at where the bus was going. Her eyes widened as she saw the end of a highway. About to activate her powers out of reflex, the bus didn't fall off the roadway; it flew! Raven clutched onto her seat as Layla and the rest of the students laughed and treated the ride as if they were aboard a rollercoaster at a theme park. Layla turned to her after a while, to see that still shell-shocked Raven was clutching her seat belt, her hands slightly purple. An unusual color for hands holding onto something for dear life. Layla quickly dismissed it and tended to her new potential friend.

"You okay?" Layla asked.

"Uh… Yeah." Raven unlatched her hands from the belts, noticing the purple from Layla's constant glance to them. "So, uh. Interesting way of getting to school."

"Oh! Yes! I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I keep forgetting that you're new." Layla apologized. "The school is powered by this anti-gravity machine. No roads in the sky. Hehe." Layla giggled.

"That's actually incredibly well thought out to have a super school in the sky." Raven commented.

"Better to have us hidden from the public so our identities won't be revealed." Layla added.

"Hope it'll be worth it."

"I hope so too. Cause we're almost there!" The bus flew to a building that hovered in the sky. Layla let Raven look over her shoulder to get a better view. Sky High looked amazing. Large windows, light tan brick walls. It almost looked like a high end shopping mall. The bus landed with a slight thud. The students piled out and went their separate ways. Raven got out and looked around. She easily spotted the groups High School has to offer: gossip girls, punks, jocks, geeks and the usual. Then there was Raven. What group would she be in? There was a stab of loneliness before Layla linked arms with her, breaking her train of thought.

"Come on! I want you to meet all of ourfriends!" Layla smiled.

Our friends?Raven thought

Layla led her to a group of students sitting on the steps an African-American boy dressed as a complete nerd next to a blond boy in a way-to-bright, tacky track suit, sitting behind them was a guy in red, white, and blue who looked like the cool leader kind. Layla walked towards them pulling Raven along with her. She stopped in front of them to get their attention.

"Hey guys!" The red white and blue guy jumped off the stairs and ran to her.

"Hey" He greeted Layla and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey Will. I want you to meet Raven. Raven this is Will Stronghold." Raven looked at him with complete disbelief. He smiled at her kindly.

"I know I don't look it but I am. Nice to meet you Raven." Stronghold misinterpreted Ravens shock. She fumbled to get words out of her mouth. The tightness in her chest growing.

"Erm.. Uh… Y-you too." Was all she managed to say. He couldn't have been the son of The Commander. The Commander.The Commander that put her Father…

"Nice to meet you! I'm Ethan!" the African boy said, disrupting Ravens thought. "You can call me Popsicle!" Ethan said.

"Oh kay…." Raven said uneasily

"And I'm Zach. But the ladies call me 'Glow'" The blond boy greeted and winked as he stood from the railing he was perched on.

"Um. Why?" Raven asked. Zach took a place beside Raven and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Cause that's what I do!" Zach beamed. He put his hand in front of Ravens face. "I Glow." He said proudly. Raven couldn't help but smile at how stupid looking he looked.

"Hey what about me?" Said a high pitched squeaky voice from between Raven and Zach. Zach moved away as Raven looked down at a black guinea pig with two purple stripes down its back.

"It's a rat." Raven said crouching down to get a good look at it.

"I'm a guinea pig." The animal growled.

"A talking rat." Raven replied with a smirk on her face.

"I'll pretend you didn't say that." The guinea pig sprung up and turned into a human girl with purple highlights and gothic clothes.

"I'm Magenta. Now I'd appreciate it if you stop called me a rat." She glared at Raven.

"Uh. Alright." Raven grinned at bit at her. Magenta seemed like the type of person Raven could hang out with.

"Good!" Magenta said to her gothic equivalent of happy. The group talked for a couple minutes about various things. Raven actually liked these strange powered kids. Maybe things are looking up after all, Raven thought. The school bells rung for the first day of school could begin.

"We're supposed to be in the gym for orientation." Ethan asid.

"Well let's go then!" Layla said. The group started for the steps, but Raven just stood there looking at Sky High. This was her opportunity to make a new path, a new legacy, not the ones her parents left behind for her.

"Hey Raven!" Layla called. She looked over at Layla's friends.

"You coming?" Will called. She looked at her friends. All of them smiling at her with kindness and loyalty, for once; she smiled back. She smiled in disbelief and took a deep breath. This was it, a time for change. Well here I go. Raven thought.

"Yeah!" she said and ran to her friends. But who knew that Raven Star was in for the ride of her life.
