Chapter 1

"Hey, Livia!"

The brunette turned around and met the eyes of her best friend, a blonde haired boy with an uncommon attractive smile. They had known each other for a while. His mother used to be Livia's dad's helper, and they always kept contact.

Livia took her books closer to her chest, her bag laying on her right shoulder, and grinned.

"Nice haircut." she giggled.

Jesse rolled his eyes with a smirk before to pass his hand in his hair.

"Yea, it's really messy." he admited.

"I bet you were late and almost missed the bus, didn't you?"

They kept walking in the school's direction. The building was actually very high in the sky, and was the most immense place they both knew. Surrounded by fake clouds, it was actually very well-hidden, to be sure no vilain could ever approach it, or worse, find its exact location.

"Yea. The curse of the first school day."

Jesse smiled again at the petite girl standing next to him. She seemed so fragile, and secretive, but in reality, she was the complete opposite, which proved without any doubt that you can't trust anything from sight.

Jesse had started to have superpowers when he was really young. The strenght he had came from his grandfather, who could have been a superman better than Clark Kent, but who also didn't really feel like saving the world. Jesse, on the other hand, had decided that it was worth it. And being able to go to Sky High was the greatest thing that could happen to him.

Livia, on the other hand, had a total different story. A darker story. But her powers, which increased all the time, could be really dangerous if she ever switched to the dark side.

"Did you copy anyone's power in the summer?" Jesse teased her.

"No, my mother told me that If I did, I'd be grounded until I'm 60. Than again, what she doesn't know, can't hurt her."

"She just wants to protect you, you know." Jesse answered, putting his arm around her waist.

"Maybe you're right, but she doesn't seem to be aware of the rarity of the power I inherited." Livia argued.

Jesse didn't dare to say anything. Talking about Livia's dad was very touchy, and he didn't want to say something he shouldn't. He also thought that Livia's mother's power was rare too, and that she was lucky to have both of her parent's powers. It was not really common, and this generation of superheroes and their kids were so mixed up, that a lot of powers came from other generations. Jesse, for exemple, had a mother who could talk any language, while his father could manipulate time. Nothing to do with strenght.

"Hey guys!"

Jesse and Livia quickly turned in the voice direction and smiled at Julie's sight. She had a beauty not a lot of people could surpass, yet she didn't seem to be aware of it. Both her parents were without any powers, still, she had two of them. And even if they were categorized as "helper powers", they were still pretty strong and important. Anyone who would have her as a helper would probably become one of the most powerful superhero. After all, knowing what is going to happen, before it happens, is the biggest help anyone could ask for. Everyone knew they stood no chance to have her as their partner, though, since she had been going out with a redhead named Rupert ever since they met on the very first day of high school.

Julie's brown hair fell on her shoulders and she pushed them away in a head movement.

"You had a nice summer?" she questionned.

Neither had the time to answer as they heard a yell coming from further. Their eyes turned again and once again, a grinned appeared on their lips.

"You're gonna regret that, Jones!" Katie Simone screamed, moving her hands forward as a frosted jet got out of them and reached Danny's back.

Livia noticed the bottom of Katie's shirt burned and smiled more. Those two were always fighting, but their obvious attraction for each other made it cute instead of annoying. Danny didn't want to hurt her, he just wanted her to notice him.

"The students here are so previsible." Jesse said, shaking his head, a smile still spread on his face.

"Same ol' same." Julie laughed.

Livia nodded.

"And that's how we like it."
