Okay I may seem like your average teenage girl. Okay maybe a little more than average. Sure I have a lot of friends and I seem to be very like at my new school. They think I'm a peppy prep girl. Little do they know I'm nothing of the sorts. Being the way everyone perceives me makes the burden on my shoulders not feel like it's there. I don't feel alone anymore. I know that surrounding myself with fake friends isn't really healthy for me but right now I don't care. Although I have countless "friends" I have two true ones. They may not know my truest colors but I am certainly much more real with them. One of them, Rory stranheim, is a 15 year old kid who I met in my P:E class. You see I fake being lazy to maintain my popularity. This kid was legitimately lazy. He must weigh two of me. He has dark black hair and is about 5'11". He's always wearing shirts with super hero logos on them, like some kind of super fan. He relates everything to heroes. He's a total dork but I like him. My other friend is basically my right hand "man". Her name was Alicia Hawkins. She honestly is a total bitch. She was a thin brown haired Latina girl with the perfect sized assets. She acted like a total boss. Telling people what to do and when to do it. She seems to be oddly protective of me. Whenever any one accidentally bumps in to me she flips her shit. I don't know what her deal is but I feel like I can trust her a little more then most. I've always been on guard ever since that awful day. We never found the person behind those attacks against my family. I can't ever let them find me. Lying about who I am will help out with that. Yes I have powers but I don't want to use them. I don't ever want to cause a child the same pain I had. My powers are a liability. At least that's what I once thought

One day I was walking home with my friends Alicia and Rory. It was our typical conversation Rory would say something nerdy and Alicia would complain about how nerdy he was. Yet they were so different they couldn't closer. Any way we were walking by the local police precinct, minding our own business. Suddenly a man bursts out of the doors. His hands were cuffed. The man was wearing an orange jumpsuit plastered with blood. You could still make out "x" county jail on the front of the suit. The mans hair was brown but because of all the blood was matted down and much much darker. He was laughing his ass off as he runs up on the three of us.

"Oh looks like I'm about to make a few new friends." The man said

"Okay listen here Chico, there ain't no way we'd wanna be friends with you. So why don't you get you're crazy ass back in the jail cell you belong in". Alicia blurted out as she put her self in front of me.

"You seem to have missed the point, it wasn't a question". Just as the man said this he grasps Alicia picks her up and starts to run off.

"No!" I screamed. As I began to tremble.

I looked over to Rory and he's out cold. He obviously feinted. He probably never expected something would every happen this close to him.

Without a thought in my mind I untied my sweater around from my waist. Using my power I severed a sleeve from it and tied it around my eyes then making eyeholes using my powers once again.

I couldn't let her die. I've seen so much death but never was it anyone I knew let alone someone I cared about. I exploded in a mad dash following them. The man took her in to an ally way. I followed until I hit the corner.

I peeked around the corner to see the man holding a knife against her neck.

"Yo crazy dude why can't you just chill" Alicia spouted out as she began to panic.

"Oh so you like it cold girl?" As he finished his sentence the knife noticeably changed to a dark blue color. A light mist began to fall off of the knife towards the ground.

I knew I didn't have much time to react. I calmed down and focused on the idea of a whip as I begin to emulate the actions of using one. Light began to fade. The ally way became pitch black minus a newly formed whip that was now reaching towards the man. As he started to notice a change he looked and saw the whip reaching towards his face. He ducked just as it snapped over his head. He takes this time to stab Alicia in the kidney. He backs away and turns towards me.

"Okay girl you want to play then let's play". Ice starting to sporadically burst from the mans hands.

I stand there in shock. I've never seen powers with my own eyes before. At least not my own and directed towards me. I didn't know what to do. I was frozen, thinking if this where I die?

Suddenly I felt a whoosh of air go by my head. Then a sudden explosion in front of me on the ice. The blast nocked me back to what I expected to be the ground but it was someone's arms.

"Hey I can't say I dig the getup but I appreciate the effort." I hear behind me

"Olly!?" I shouted. "When did you get here!?"

"What can I say? I was In the neighborhood?" Green arrow said as his pitch started to raise towards the end. He obviously was lying I could tell.

"Okay I need you to grab your friend and get out of here. It looks like saving you is going to always be my business"

I nod run over and grab Alicia. Green arrow is keeping that lunatic busy while I get away. This is the day I had to finally grow up.
