CHAPTER ONE
"Ms. Blake-"
"Please call me Kira," the petite brunette said smiling politely at the middle-aged women that sat behind the large desk.
"Alright Kira," Principal Powers, who was in charge of Sky High, said, slightly stressing on her first name," I talked to your mother about your situation. You have no need to go through Power Placement because you are not a freshman and we, the staff, are fully aware that you are no sidekick..."
Principal Powers slightly chuckled in amusement at her statement causing Kira to smile and raise an eyebrow in confusion.
She continued before Kira could ask any questions "You will immediately be placed in classes for Heroes instead of classes for sidekicks or also known as Hero Support. I am aware of your powers Miss. Blake- I mean Kira. Although it is very unique and useful they are very powerful. I just hope you can control it."
Kira nodded knowing the full extent of her powers. Her power was probably reasons why she was home schooled practically all her life and why her mom never told her about her true identity.
"Well your first class is with Coach Boomer," Principal Powers said handing a white sheet of paper that had Kira's schedule on it.
Kira nodded and thanked her.
"I will escort you to your first class," Principal Powers said her eyes glinting with mischief that caused Kira's confusion and confidence to unleash themselves.
They walked down the hall, Principal Powers high heels clicked against the clean floor while Kira's black converse pattered against it. The sounds of erupting cheers from behind the steel doors of the gymnasium caused Kira's nerves to go haywire.
"Ready?" Principal Powers said slightly smirking.
Kira nodded and entered the door behind her new principal. Kira expected everyone's head to snap in their direction but found that everyone was too entranced in the entertainment before them.
A loud beep erupted from the large scoreboard above indicating that the previous simulation was over.
"Thornton, Samuels, you failed to rescue the citizen," a loud voice boomed from a platform from above.
Kira shook slightly from the commanding and booming voice. No doubt that was Coach Boomer. It wasn't only the voice that gave it away but his attire that consisted of a pin-striped black and white shirt, shorts and the infamous silver whistle that seemed to be possessed by practically every gym teacher.
"Lash, Speed, Heroes or Villains?"
"Um- Villains," Speed answered pretending to ponder on the question.
"Why am I not surprised?" Coach Boomer said more to himself than to the class.
Lash and Speed smirked at each other ready to face their next opponent.
"We choose-"
"Kira Blake!" Principle Powers voice boomed from her position cutting off the two boys and making everyone's attention turn towards her, including Coach Boomer.
"W-What? I don't know how to play whatever this is," Kira said stammering.
"Kira, this is an opportunity for you to show your powers but remember self-control. You just have to defeat or distract the "villains", who are Lash and Speed, and save the doll-citizen before the timer runs out," Principal Powers said using hand motions to help Kira understand the point of this 'game'.
Kira nodded solemnly not liking the idea of showing her powers. She was slightly afraid of what the others would think of her. She took a deep breath and placed on the required gear and entered the stadium.
"Coach, she needs a partner! I mean she can't defeat us alone," Lash said smirking while looking Kira up and down with amusement.
"She'll be fine on her own," Coach Boomer exclaimed from his seat fully knowing what the petite brunette was capable of doing.
"Alright, Thief verses Stretch and Hot Wheels!" Coach Boomer exclaimed, randomly spitting out meaningless nicknames.
Some people in the crowd were confused with Kira's nickname and were questioning what kind of superpower she possessed.
Kira narrowed her eyes and slowly closed her green eyes. She focused on her energy and power. She could feel it emit from her heart and spread across her body like a deadly epidemic. She re-opened her eyes and smiled lightly knowing her opponents had no chance against her.
Speed raced towards her quickly but Kira reached her right hand out and grabbed his slightly chubby throat. At the sudden touch Speed could feel his pace decreasing and his skin paling.
Kira let go and dropped him towards the wooden floorboards. No one knew what exactly happened but they stared in amazement anyway.
The clock continued to tick; Kira looked up and realized she only had 50 seconds left to save the doll-citizen before it would be destroyed into shreds by the large machine that consisted of a number of whirling serrated blades. She could briefly see Principal Powers watching from the sidelines with triumph. Lash started to come towards her but Kira ran towards him with Speed's superpower which amazed and surprised everyone, for they didn't expect it.
Lash quickly wrapped his outstretched arms around her; surprisingly she couldn't grasp his powers with a simple touch like she did with Speed. Lash's power was a lot stronger than she expected which meant that simply touching him with her bare hands against his skin wouldn't defeat him. Kira growled at the fact that her dignity was about to momentarily disappear. Kira looked up and noticed she only had 20 seconds remaining, which caused her to panic a little.
"Ready to lose?" Lash said smirking tightening his grip around her almost suffocating her.
She was so close to him that she could feel his breath tickling across her tanned skin causing her cheeks to drench the colour red and her body to shake from the euphoria that was beginning to release from within.
"Are you?" Kira huskily whispered back.
Before Lash could retort, Kira placed her pouty lips against his capturing him by surprise. She knew her powers were starting to become stronger. She could feel his arms go limp and return to their normal size. She broke off the simple kiss and dashed off to grab the doll-citizen with her new speed. The class started to countdown making adrenaline pump through Kira. She grabbed the doll-citizen just before time was up.
There was a long pregnant pause, probably out of shock and amusement. Speed and Lash lay sprawled on the wooden floorboards; emotionless and powerless. Their powers had gone temporarily causing Kira to smirk at their current pathetic forms.
"Citizen is alive. Hero wins!" the Coach's voice boomed.
A erupt of applause and whistles were directed towards Kira's form. Kira walked towards her principal who was now standing next to Coach Boomer, who was sitting on the tall platform.
"Congratulations," Principal Powers said, clapping modestly.
"Miss. Blake if you don't mind. Since you didn't go through Power Placement like everyone else, could you explain your power to the class?" Coach Boomer exclaimed directing his hand towards the curious, awaiting audience on the bleachers.
"Um-"
"Go ahead, Kira explain it to them," Principal Powers urged on as Speed and Lash walked tiredly towards the bleachers.
"Alright, well my superpower is- um it's kind of hard to physically show it. B-Basically I can manipulate, control, neutralize or take away my opponent's power. I can decide whether I want to take it away temporarily or permanently," Kira explained, her hands occasionally fidgeting with the hem of her white tank top.
Fear was evident on practically everyone's face at the explanation of her power. Once again there was a long pause but this one was filled with tension that made everyone uneasy.
"Question," a loud call from the crowd yelled," why did you kiss me?"
Kira's face heated up to a horrible shade of red that reached from her neck to her cheeks at the sound of the question. A murmur of chuckles was heard from the crowd at her blushing and embarrassed form which broke the previous tension.
Principal Powers nodded for her to continue with her explanation.
"U-Um, some people, like you, are resistant to my touch, s-so I had to kiss you for more physical contact to u-um make my power stronger. Your power is a lot stronger than your friend's," Kira explained to Lash while trying to control her heavy breathing and her flaming face.
She received a piercing glare from Speed when she insulted his ability but it also made Lash smirk at her.
A long bell sounded which caused everyone to dart away quickly making Kira feel somewhat hurt and a lot more embarrassed. She didn't expect people to fear her.
Now she'll probably be all alone for the rest of her years at Sky High.
Oh Joy.
Kira took off her gear and exited after everyone, not realizing the longing gaze from a curious tall boy.
