I present to you, chapter 2! Also, I am going to try and slow it down a notch, the first chapter seemed way too fast.

Chapter 2: If You Could Have a Superpower...
I woke up, got out of bed, and started to get dressed. I looked in the mirror and saw the necklace, and the memories of yesterday came flooding back into my head. I decided I would check back on the owls later today. I finished getting dressed and walked to the window - avoiding the mess that was my room - and peeked outside. It was no longer snowing, in fact, all the snow had melted! I opened the window to see what the temperature was, and was mildly surprised to find that it was quite nice! That was the way it often was in Tennessee spring, snowing one day, warm the next.
I walked down the stairs, got my breakfast, and pulled out my phone, checking my messages. Nothing new. I decided to call my friends, Ami and Ci.
"Hey!" I said
"Hi!" They replied
"Do you have any plans for today?"
"Not really" Ami said.
"Me neither" Ci said.
"How about we go to the park?" Ami suggested.
"That sounds great!" Ci and I agreed.
"Okay, see you there!" Ami ended the call.
I walked around the house, racking my brain for the things I would need to bring. Wow, it has been awhile since I've had a nice day outside, actually, I've been spending more time inside lately... oh right, I found new books to read, and whenever I find a new book, I will take every chance to read it...
I finally decided that I should be find just bringing my phone and wallet, so I grabbed those, slipped on my shoes, and headed outside.
A few minutes later...
"Hi Ami! Hi Ci!" I called, running into the park.
"Oh, hi Crystal!" Ci calling back, Ami repeating her after taking her attention off a nearby butterfly.
"What do you guys have planned?" I asked.
"Well... maybe some jogging, I guess." Ami stated
"Ooh! Maybe we can go to the new coffee place afterwards!" Ci gleefully shouted. We all knew how much Ci loved her coffee.
"Sure!" I agreed. I was a fan of frappes myself, and I had heard that the new place made them pretty well.
Ten minutes later...
I stopped jogging, panting. I had been much faster than normal, considering it had been awhile since I had run. Hold on, I felt something around the necklace, kind of like it was sweaty, sticking to my skin, it felt like something was coming out of it... flowing through me... I lightly slapped myself, telling myself that it was just sweat, the necklace spreading it a bit. I lifted up the necklace and rubbed the spot, expecting to wipe away the sweat, but it was completely dry. Strange...
"Hey, Crystal! Can we go now?" Yelled Ci.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a sec" I called back.
"Oh, and Ami had to go, 'important business' she said" Ci told me as she headed towards the coffee shop.
"That's ok, we were almost done anyway" I shouted as I tried to catch up with her
We arrived at the coffee shop, it was called "Bean Lounge". We entered, Me ordering a peppermint mocha frappe, (my favorite) and Ci ordering a vanilla bean latte. We both got coconut cookies. We sat down and talked, and the conversation ended up turning into: "What would your superpower be, if you had one".
"I think super speed!" Ci said
"Well, if you did, you would probably get it by being powered by an insane amount of coffee!" We both laughed hard at that, knowing it was probably true.
"Probably not too far off," Ci said, still recovering from laughter. "Anyway, what would yours be?"
"Huh, I don't know, never really thought about it."
"Well I don't know either, so many could fit you, maybe something with ice, since you seem more resistant to cold than others." She was right, I did have a pretty high tolerance for the cold.
"Anyway, I think we should be going." I said
"Ok, I just finished" So we left.
We were walking home, me sipping the water I had brought along. Man, I wish there was some more ice left in this... and suddenly, there was!
"Woah! How did you do that! That's a pretty cool magic trick, how long have you been practicing it?"
Me, still stunned, stammered "U-uhh... I didn't do that on purpose..."
"Wait, why is it getting chillier? It was warm a second ago!"
By now, I was properly freaked out. I had just freaking SUMMONED ICE! Then it hit me. I JUST SUMMONED ICE! I tried to rationalize it in my mind, but drew blank. I felt the necklace getting warmer, but colder at the same time and I practically FELT something flowing out of it, into me. I was shaking. I grabbed Ci's arm and we fled to my house as it began to snow
After we had settled down, Ci asked "What just happened?"
"I think... I think I just summoned ice..."
"... I think so to..." Ci whispered, but something hit her and she raised her voice a bit, "wait, you just summoned ice... you have superpowers! How did you get them, when did it start, what do you think about it, what-" "STOP! Calm down! Talk a bit slower!"
"Ok... sorry..."
"Oh, don't feel bad..." we were silent for a bit, then it hit me, I HAD SUPERPOWERS!
After freaking out about it for awhile, we decided we should get tactical. "Okay, so we can't reveal this to the public, or everyone would go crazy. should we tell Ami? She could be a big help."
"Yeah, we should probably tell Ami, but not now. Also, maybe I should try to control this, so it doesn't just burst out randomly."
"Sounds like a good idea"
"Okay" I wasn't sure how I was going to do it, but I figured I would try. I concentrated on a bead on the floor, and suddenly, I could feel something inside me, shifting slightly, presumably my power. And I also felt something around my necklace, a strange aura, flowing into me and feeding the growing power. I concentrated, and moved some of that power up my arm, and into my hand. I lifted my hand towards the bead, and leaked the power out of my hand, directing it towards the bead, and solidifying it around it. A thin layer of ice formed over it, and I coated it with more layers until the bead was snugly inside a small ice cube. Then I noticed that my power had gotten significantly smaller, practically gone. Then everything went black.
Yay! We are finally getting to the exiting parts! I just want to say, I didn't think that anybody would read this for a while, so I was very surprised! This is just phase one of the powers. Also, the weekend is coming to a close, so I will have less time to write, But I will try my best! Till the next chapter!
