My name is Violet Parr. Does that name sound familiar? It shouldn't. How about Mr. Incredible?

Elastigirl?

The Dash?

I thought those might ring a bell. That's my family. Superheroes...all of them. Two years ago it would sound crazy to most people, but thankfully times have changed. Supers no longer have to hide their powers or go into government sanctioned hiding. There's no more sneaking around and trying to save people behind the backs of citizens who just want to go about their normal lives. Superheroes are something to celebrate and a city like this one, Metro City, so full of superheroes, stands proudly on the top of the world.

So who am I? Violet. Or Vi if you like. That's not my superhero name. That's my birth name. I'm not a hero. I'm just a normal teen in her final year of high school. I have a normal life filled with normal problems, a normal (but spectacular) boyfriend and a normal circle of friends. Do I have superpowers? Of course...It runs in the family. I can create Force Fields around objects, people and pretty much anything to a certain size. I can also turn any part of my anatomy invisible. That means anything I'm wearing won't follow suit, but that's not a problem. I don't use these powers. I go to school; I live life like anyone else would: without a care in the world. If superheroes are ever needed, my family is right there to fill the insignificantly empty shoes that I leave.

That all changed when I met Elsa.

First day of the first semester of my final year of High School. Just a normal school day for this normal teenage girl and her normal boyfriend, Tony. We both had Biology as the first class that day, so we walked to the class and sat down amongst the group of familiar faces we had come to call friends. Our teacher, the Norwegian Mr. Bjorgenhoff, introduced himself to the class in his usual dry manner before introducing us to the new transfer student. A twinge of pride was detectable in his voice as he explained she had just come here all the way from his native Norway.

Elsa was her name.

I gave into the temptation to look back at her, sitting in the back corner of the classroom. She had a small frame that lead up to a round and blushing face. Her bright blue eyes were focused intently on the ground, successfully avoiding contact with the gazes of the classmates that surrounded her. Her bright white hair was pulled back into a tight bun that made her features look more mature and almost regal. She wore a tight fitting blue jacket that was buttoned up to her neck that seemed to make her appearance of royalty even more apparent.

I turned back to the front of the class to face the teacher only to notice that almost everyone was still staring at her. Slightly annoyed, I nudged Tony who sat dazed beside me, focused behind him on the new arrival. He turned to face me and smiled a toothy grin before focusing his attention on the front as well. Apparently the students weren't the only ones enraptured by the new girl as I noticed Mr. Bjorgenhoff smiling sweetly at her from the front of the classroom.

Great, we'll never get this class started. I thought to myself before an idea surfaced in my mind.

When I place a Force Field around something, the air gets displaced slightly causing a small gust of wind. I drew Tony's attention to the uncomfortable staring that the class was giving to Elsa. As his head turned, I focused behind a single piece of chalk sitting at the edge of the teacher's desk. A small flash of purple was all that was visible before the chalk fell to the floor, breaking the trance that seemed to hold the class captive.

Mr. Bjorgenhoff cleared his throat and began to lecture the teaching outline for the rest of the semester. Apparently Anatomy would be a big part of study this year. Ron, a skinny blonde kid near the front of the class immediately raised his hand when we came to this topic. Before the teacher could address his concern he blurted out:

"Sir, are we going to study the anatomy of Supers? I mean, you would think they'd have a different biology than us what with all the flying and super-strength and all the other cool-" Was all he managed to get out before Mr. B cut him off and continued to lecture. I certainly hoped we weren't going to study the anatomy of supers...I didn't want another reminder of how different I was from everyone else in the room.

I sat in the Library on my spare period, hoping to get a head start on the readings for History. I sat in my usual corner, surrounded by nothing but book shelves and the musty smell that filled the large room. There was a single chair there, ensuring that nobody else would bother my studying. It was a quiet spot, easy to concentrate and-

"Oh, I'm so sorry" said a gentle but startled voice from behind me.

I looked around to see Elsa turn on her heel and start walking away from my study corner. Her head down, she walked briskly until she bumped into a tall boy walking in the opposite direction. Elsa repeated her apology, this time with a slight stutter as she tried to walk past him, her face red as a cherry. To her apparent surprise, the boy grabbed her shoulder and stopped her in her tracks.

"No, I'm sorry" He told her, his hand still gripping her shoulder. "I didn't mean to startle you. Are you free this weekend? A whole bunch of us are having a party at my place..." Although Elsa was facing away from me, I could tell that she was taken aback by the abrupt entrance into conversation. From where I sat it looked like Nicholas, the quarterback, was the boy talking to her. I could see his broad shoulders and curly shoulder length brown hair. He ended the description of his weekend plans with a request for Elsa to join the festivities.

"Uh...sure, I'll be there" she responded before quickly walking away.

"Great!" Nicholas shouted after her as he turned around to walk my way.

He must have seen me eavesdropping on the two of them because he addressed me immediately about this party. It was less of a question and more of an assumption that I was attending. As was typical of Nicholas, I couldn't get a word in edgewise until he left with a simple: "Bring Tony, okay?"

Before I could even answer, he was gone. No doubt most of the popular seniors had been invited already or were on his list for the party. It was strange that Elsa was being invited to such an exclusive event on her first day. These parties did happen quite often so I guess Nicholas just wanted to help welcome Elsa into the school community. He was always talking up as many girls as he possibly could, so I could understand why he went straight for the new arrival. I just couldn't get why everyone else was so enraptured by her. She was pretty, but there were lots of pretty girls in the school. She was shy, which I guess could be an attraction for some people, but this level of attraction was unheard of.

After this encounter, I found it hard to study so I left to meet up with Tony.
