Willow stood at the bus stop early in the morning peeling away her nail polish out of nervousness. She had come ten minutes early out of fear she might miss it, she had been this way since she was little. Always afraid she was going to miss something but then out of worrying so much, she would end up missing it. Walking up to the bus stop was a cute couple. The boy was tall with dark brown hair and a blue, red and white shirt. His girlfriend was petite with bright red hair and wore a small green dress that fit her perfectly. Willow looked back at the ground even afraid to look at them. The girl was so pretty and the boy was so handsome. She wished she could look like that and could feel as in love as they did. They stood at the bus stop but fell slight when they saw Willow, the boy looked like he wanted to say something but he stopped. His girlfriend slapped him on the arm and turned towards Willow.
"Hi I'm Layla Williams and this is Will Stronghold. You must be new to Sky High." The girl held her hand out and Willow lightly shook her hand. "Yeah, I'm Willow Kensington." They chatted for a few minutes and they found they had lots to talk about but Will just stayed silent. "Why didn't you come to Sky High earlier?" Layla asked out of curiosity of her past. "Well I always knew I had powers but I was always too afraid to tell anyone, not even my parents knew. One day last year I was sitting in class when I was getting picked on and I just kind of...snapped." Layla patted her arm and said no one would dare treat her like that at Sky high. "Why would anyone pick on you anyways, you're so pretty."
Willow had always been told she was pretty but she never believed it. She was 5'3 with loosely curled blonde hair and deep blue eyes. When she looked in the mirror all she sees is a thin, short girl who has no voice. "Yes well kids always called me weird because I had powers; they thought I would be like Carrie or something." The girls laughed but Will finally joined the conversation and seemed excited. "Wait did you say powers? As in plural?" Layla looked at Will strangely and Willow just nodded her head confused. When Will opened his mouth to say something else a yellow school bus pulled up and Layla and Will walked on. Willow was reluctant to go but she did but the bus driver stopped her. "You must be new, what's your name." Why did everyone suddenly become interested in who she was, it was all new to Willow. "Willow Kensington." She whispered and the bus driver pointed to himself with his thumb and said, "Ron Wilson, Bus driver." He let her pass and Willow sat beside a small boy with large glasses and an inhaler.
"Willow this is Ethan, Ethan this is Willow." Layla said turning around in her seat. She pointed to a couple a few seats back. "The girl in purple is Magenta and the boy who looks like a total goof is Zach." He obviously heard and called out to Layla. "You love talking about Zach Attack don't you?" He walked up to them but had to duck because he was too tall. "No, I was telling Willow here to stay away from you." Zach acted offended and went back to his seat. Ron Wilson called back to everyone to sit down because it was time to get going. Suddenly seat belts shot out of the seat and wrapped around Willows chest and lap. The bus started gaining speed and drove off the edge of an unfinished bridge. Willow was too scared to scream but that didn't stop some of the other kids screaming while Will and Layla threw their hands in the air and laughing. Willow closed her eyes and only opened them with Ethan nudged her and told her they were there.
When she got out of the bus she just stood there amazed, he hadn't really thought the school was in the air and it made her feel right at home. Layla grabbed Willows hand and dragged her with Will and the rest of them. "Trust me," She said walking up the front steps. "You do not want to walk with all the new kids. They get harassed by the welcoming committee." Willow looked over to the kids that were screaming on the bus and they were now getting a shake down for money by two older boys. One boy was tall and thin while the other was short and plump. She was so glad she met Layla and the others. She thought the she might actually have a chance at a normal high school experience, even if the school was filled with other freaks like her.
