REVIEW. THIS. AS-SOON-AS-YOU'RE-DONE.

Ch1

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

"mghphngh," mumbled Reina, as she hit the snooze button.

10 minutes later, when she really woke and glance at the clock, she was stunned by how late she was. Jumping out of bed, she ran to the bathroom to get ready. She couldn't look like a mess on the first day of school; that was for the rest of the year.

She finished her morning rituals and ran out again to her room and was faced with a disaster. She had forgotten to pick which clothes she wanted to wear. Various obscenities crossed through her mind, as she rummaged through her dresser in search of something passable.

When she sprinted out of the house to the bus stop, she was wearing jean shorts and a blue tee with a gray mini vest, with her most impressive shoes, black, lace-up, knee-high converse. Not too shabby for a last minute look. She arrived just in time to see the bus almost leave.

Gasping for breath, she stepped onto the bus and tried to find a seat. There were a few open in the back, but they were occupied by what looked like seniors and Reina wasn't sure if they would harass the new kid. The only other seat was next to an angry girl in lots of black and red.

"Hey, I'm Reina," she introduced herself.

The only response she got was a grunt. "Jade's just mad 'cause her parents won't let her bring her guitar to school," helped a voice from the back.

A dark-skinned Indian girl with long black hair peeped over the bus seat and grinned at Reina. "Hey, I'm Aisha and this is Jade and Nayomi," she said, introducing another dark-skinned girl with mismatching white-blonde hair and pale blue eyes, who waved timidly.

"Cool, it's my first day, I'm gonna be a sophomore."

"That's weird, we're gonna be sophomores too, but I don't remember seeing you last year," noted Aisha.

"That's not saying much," snorted Jade, "Aisha doesn't notice what doesn't hit her face. It's a miracle she noticed you."

"Hey! Just so you know I happen to be very oberser-"

"No, it's alright," interrupted Reina, "I just transferred. I went to Linstone High last year, but then I transferred."

"Why'd you go there last year, not here?" asked Aisha

"It's kinda a long story…" Reina grimaced, "but basically my mom ditched her powers when I was born and didn't tell me anything until I happened to turn purple in class. Then I got transferred."

"You turn purple? Seriously, that's it?" snickered Jade.

"Not exactly. My mom's powers let her take control of the conscious of another person through dreams and on some levels, she can hypnotize people. Somehow the power gods decided she's Alice, so I turn out like the Cheshire Cat."

"You mean Alice in Wonderland? You're the Cheshire Cat? That's cool, so what other powers do you have?" asked Aisha.

"Well, I can turn invisible and levitate, and I can't really control it yet, but I can sometimes grow cat ears and a tail. I don't have very much control yet though."

"That's pretty powerful, if you know what you're doing. You'll probably make it to hero. I'm in hero too. I can breathe out different temperatures and I've been practicing all summer."

Nayomi snickered, the first sound Reina had heard from her. "No matter how much she says she practices, if Aisha gets a cold, duck and cover right away," she advised Reina, "my powers allow me to see auras. It's fun, even if it's not very powerful, but someday, it might be like reading minds, though right now all I can see are moods and I can catch lies"

"I guess it's my turn," sighed Jade, "I can tweak volume. I think it's pretty awesome, but Boomer thinks it's sidekick so I'm stuck there. On the bright side, I don't need an amp for my guitar, but my mother never lets me bring it to school anyway. So basically I just come to school to keep Omi company in her classes."

"Some company she is," said Nayomi rolling her eyes, "most of the time she's asleep anyway."

"WE"RE HERE!" yelled the bus driver from the front.

"Whoa, we're here already? My mom told me all these crazy stories about the bus ride here, but that was nothing," noted Reina.

"Oh, you're mom knew what she was talking about. The bus rides were horrible till this year, the bus was just replaced. You're so lucky you weren't here last year," explained Aisha, "I'll take you to the gym, if you want. It's where all freshmen go on the first day. You're not a freshman, but that's probably where you'll go anyway since you're new."

"Sure, thanks, that'd be great."

"We'll see you later if you wanna hang out during lunch," offered Nayomi, "but we hafta go this way now."

"That'd also be awesome, thank you so much," Reina said gratefully, "See you later," she added as they walked away.

"Later!" waved Jade and Nayomi, walking the other way.

"Kay, so since you just transferred, I'll explain to you how the hero-sidekick system works, it's pretty simple. Heros are the kids with stronger powers, while sidekicks are the kids with less useable powers. Pretty basic, right? And the person who decides who's who is Coach Boomer, the Physical Empowerment teacher. He's one you hafta watch out for, but if you impress him you're good to go so it's a good idea to try hard during the initiation-sorting thing. If you can, please try to make hero, cause Omi and Jade are both sidekick and it gets really, really, really, really boring in hero classes."

"Wow. That's a lot. Are you sure speed talking isn't a superpower."

Aisha grinned ,"That's what they say. I think it's just me. Anyway, here's the gym. Good luck, I've gotta go or I'll be late for atomic chem., bye!"

heylo, this is me and my first ever attempt at fanfic writing. I have no idea what to think of it so please leave a review with an honest(and hopefully gentle ) review.

PS is this too long for a chapter?
