Heat of the Moment
Ok a short author's note. This is only my second story so go easy on me when it comes to reviews. I will try to update every week but bear with me I have a lot of school work to do as well, but I will do my best. So onward with the story. Also all the original characters are going to be juniors now.
Kali Robison leapt out of bed and nearly swore when she saw the time on her bedside clock. It was almost 7:30 and the bus going to her new school left at 8:00. Kali was going to be attending Sky High this year and she was starting as a junior.
She rushed into the bathroom and emerged 20 minutes later with her long, dark red hair tied into a ponytail and wearing a pair of jeans ripped at the knees, a black singlet with a black and grey stripped tie and black fingerless skeleton gloves. She went to her mirror and outlined her dark blue eyes in eyeliner, grabbed her messenger bag and quickly rushed downstairs. She pulled on some heavy black boots and grabbed her army green jacket that stopped at her elbows before setting off for the bus stop. Kali arrived at the bus stop 5 minutes early so she stood there and nervously played with the multiple piercings in her ears. It was a bad habit of hers.
The bus finally pulled up after what felt likes hours to Kali and she stepped onboard. As soon as she got on the bus everybody looked up and started at her. Kali avoided their stares and made her way to the back of the bus where she sat by herself for the rest of the bus ride. They arrived at Sky High and Kali went off in search of the office so she could get her timetable. After a fair bit of looking she found it and the principle led her to the gym so that she could undertake something called Power Placement not that Kali had any idea what that meant.
When Kali entered the gym there was already at least 20 freshmen there. As soon as she set foot inside she heard her name being called out in a loud booming voice belonging to the gym teacher.
"Kali Robison" shouted Coach Boomer. "Because you're new and you're a junior not a freshmen you get to go through Power Placement first!"
"Lucky me" Kali muttered under her breath as she made her way to the stage. She stepped onto the platform and Coach Boomer explained what Power Placement was.
"Ok heres how it is gonna work you bunch of wimps. You will step up here onto the platform and show me your power. Then I will decide whether you will be a hero or a sidekick".
"So now that you know what it is Ms Robison hurry up and power up" he shouted in his extremely loud voice. Kali hesitated for a moment.
"Come on Robison I don't have all day, what's your power?"
"I'm a pyrokentic, I can control fire. But are you sure you want me to power up?"
"Of course I want you to power up, now hurry before I lose my patience".
"Ok but you asked for it" Kali replied. Kali clenched her hands into fists and fire formed around them.
"Is that it?" commented Coach Boomer.
"You might wanna stand back" Kali warned. The flames were spreading all over her arms now and with a cry from Kali the flames grew and soon her hair was whipping around like it was caught in a fierce wind. Suddenly Kali threw her head back and her hair turned to flame while the fire engulfed her entire body, at the top of the flames a huge phoenix made of fire formed and gave a loud cry before disappearing as the flames started to die down. The flames disappeared completely and there stood Kali with her hair still flaming while Coach Boomer gaped at her.
"Hero" he finally managed to say.
Well that's the first chapter so review and tell me what you think and I will hopefully have another chapter up really soon. Natalie
