-1First I have to say I do not own Sky High or any of their trade marks in any way. Second, this is a spin off of a good friend of mine's story. Her pen name is Sexy Heather and I highly suggest you read hers first.
The Beauty of Power Placement
Rose Aaron B.K.A. Shadow. Beautiful isn't it? My first day at Sky High and I was already scribbling a girls name in my note book in the middle of my Costume Design class. But we'll get to that later there are a few gaps to fill in.
"You're gonna love going to Sky High!" The glowy kid who insisted on me calling him Zach was extremely excited as we walled to the bus stop. He had already told me what my first day would be like and all about power placement. "And you'll really like all the guys that go to the sidekick classes with us."
"What makes you so sure I'll be a sidekick?" I protested.
"You're a frog, when have you ever seen a frog do anything heroic? I mean I have to have the coolest power ever and they made ME a sidekick."
I rolled my eyes and readied my protest but just then the bus pulled up and he got on. I shrugged me shoulders and said "C'est la vie" to no one in particular and got on the bus and when I looked around there where no more seats. As I stood there contemplating what I should do and I noticed at least a quarter of the girls on the bus where staring at me.
I was wearing frayed shorts that went half way down my shins and a tight quicksilver t-shirt and some slip on flip-flops (no socks of course what do you think this is). I thought I was looking rather surfer sexy if I do say so myself.
"I don't care where you stand or sit but it can't be in front of this yellow line chief," the bus driver warned "but I do suggest you hold on.
I decided the ceiling would be my best bet so I hoped up and clung to it with my toes hanging over my flip-flops and my right hand on the wall. I looked down and noticed I was hanging over a cutie who couldn't take her eyes off me wearing a "Save A Wave, Ride A Surfer" t-shirt and thought "jack pot".
"Hi there cutie, what's your name?" Did I mention I'm a tremendous flirt?
"Christine, how about you?' She flipped her hair and giggled. It seems she was a flirt as well.
I told her my name, "But you can call me Toad."
"Oh, you're that new kid whose dad is in rehab, I read it in the paper. Um… my parents said I couldn't talk to you." I could tell it was a lie, she just didn't wanna talk to me because I was that kid in the paper. None of the girls were looking at me any more, I guess they over heard.
I rode the rest of the way in silence, slightly depressed. The sensation of flight didn't surprise me, I'd been the test pilot for many of dad's machines over the years, my suggestion for most of them was "Add an ejection seat.", but it did calm me down a bit. I've always loved flying.
The moment I stepped off the bus and onto the grounds I knew this was gonna be a crazy year, it was utter chaos. I observed an arm stretch across the lawn and grab some girl's ass, then that girl tied said arm into a knot. That was hilarious. I laughed my way all the way to power placement, that girl made my day.
When I got to power placement Boomer introduced himself and explained power placement. Then he introduced his assistant for the day "This is Rose Aaron, but you freshman will know her as Shadow. Powers has taken a liking to her and she's now a senior in the student teacher program. You will treat her with respect OR YOU WILL ANSWER TO THE FACULTIY!" He continued on for awhile but I tuned it out, used to load noises once again due to my dad's inventions, I was too busy openly staring at Rose, thank God she wasn't looking.
She was beautiful and she wasn't even trying. She was wearing a gym suit and she had her long dark brown, almost black, hair tied back in a pony tail. I wished I could get closer so I could see her better, I wanted to know the color of her eyes, the shape of her lips, even in the most bland out fit she looked great. I knew if she tried she would look stunning. I then watched her amazingly enough turn her shadow into a giant hand but I wasn't focused on her power, I was still trying to see her eyes.
As power placement started I pretty much spaced through the whole thing staring at her. Occasionally I heard boomer yell "SIDEKICK" or I'd see Rose's shadow catch a flying fresh man before they hit a wall. She was amazing.
I then heard Boomer call my name and I jumped up onto the pedestal in the middle of the gym.
"Okay let see it" Boomer said dryly without even looking at me. I jumped straight at a nearby wall with great speed and clung to it tight. "Hmm, an animal power, what are you a gecko?" Boomer asked
"Toad, sir" I replied.
"Let's check his agility" It was her! She spoke, and her voice was heavenly.
Boomer made some marks on his board and then said "Plates". 2 machines came out of the gym floor and each flung 3 glass plates straight at my position. This quickly jerked me out of the fantasy world I was in staring at Rose. I easily dodged the first three by letting go with my hands and leaving my feet planted, bending my body left, right, then backwards doing a back flip on the wall positioning me higher on the wall. I then broke the other three with my tongue one after another with a quick CRASH, CRASH, CRASH, sound.
Boomer nodded his head, "Hero". I guess Zach was gonna be a little disappointed. I figured that wasn't so bad, he should get used to disappointment; all he can do is glow.
As I left I looked for Rose but it seemed as though she had already left for the locker room, I couldn't take my mind off her the rest of the day.
