Thinking
"Talking"
Ch. 4
The school bell rang loudly throughout the hallways, meaning classes were done for the day. Skye practically ran out the door as everyone tried to barrel their way out of the educational prison that was High School. Skye actually felt happy about her first day though. All of her teachers were very nice, the food surprisingly didnt make her want to gag, and she met two really sweet guys. One that maybe sweeter than the other...Skye shook her head to block out the taunting voice in her mind. Still she had to admit that both Richie and Virgil seemed like great guys, and she hadnt even known them for very long! Speaking of them I wonder if they went home yet. Her sapphire eyes scanned the neverending crowd of people, but she couldnt single either of them out. Letting out an annoyed sigh, Skye attempted to push her way through the traffic of students.
Being enclosed in such large crowds really made her uncomfortable. She was finally able to make it outside. As she started her walk home, Skye got a sudden chill down her spine. It felt like someone was watching her. She turned around but saw no one in particular who was eyeing her. As she started moving again Skye picked up her pace a bit, suddenly anxious to get home. Not really paying attention to where she was going, Skye collided with a hard figure, nearly knocking her to the ground. As she stumbled to regain her balance, she heard a smug voice say,
"Well now, I dont think we have met cutie."
The figure she ran into turned out to be a rugged looking guy around her age. He had flaming red spiked hair and narrowed glaring eyes. He was rather tall compared to her height and his pants looked far too baggy. Skye noticed a small amount of facial hair on his chin. He only said one sentence and she already didnt like him. Nevertheless she attempted to be polite.
"Yeah sorry about that, my fault."
He sent her a sly grin. "Hey I dont mind a hot thing like you bumping into me. Maybe we should do it more often." The tone in his voice was so silky it made her want to run. She just realized how close he was...he was too close and it was making her very uncomfortable.
"Whatever, anyway I didnt mean to run into you. I need to be going so..." He interrupted her and smirked. "Aw whats the matter? You dont wanna spend some quality time with me? I could show you a hot time." Now Skye was seriously peeved. She hated being hit on by random assholes.
"Back off you ass. I wouldnt want anything to do with you. I'd rather eat a slug than spend a day with you!"
He snickered. "Well arent you fiery. I love that in a woman." He suddenly grabbed her arm in a bruising grip. "But your mouth could really get you into trouble. Maybe I should teach you a little lesson.."
Panicked, Skye struggled and slapped him with her free hand. His face had a small red spot from her hit, and his eyes slanted into a fierce glare. A cry escaped her lips when Skye realised her arm felt hot....no it felt like her flesh was burning! Was he doing that?! She yelled and kicked, trying in vain to free her arm. It hurt and his grip was feeling hotter by the second.
"Let me go!!!"
"Hey Hotstreak get your filthy hands off her!"
Through blurry eyes Skye spotted two figures above them. The one that yelled was dressed in green and white. He wore a type of maske that reminded her of a motorcycle helmet. A smooth metal machine rested over his back. The second person wore a long blue coat and black and gold underneath. His mask was a simple white eye cover and he was riding some kind of metal disk. He gave off an electric aura. They had to be Static and Gear!
The guy known as Hotstreak sent his glare up at the two. "Hey beat it! This doesnt concern you two!"
To Skye's shock, he threw a large fireball at Static and Gear. The heat was so intense she shut her eyes tightly in order to block it out.
The heroic duo easily dodged the wild attack as Static flew towards them.
"Now I dont think that was very nice." Static said with a smirk.
He sent an small electric blast and aimed for Hotstreak's chest. With a direct hit, Hotstreak yelled in anger and released Skye from his death grip. Now free, Skye glanced at her arm. It was red and would sting for a few days, but other than that it didnt seem too serious. Skye stood on the sidewalk and observed as Gear threw some kind of metal ball at Hotstreak. It exploded and enveloped him in a binding web, trapping him.
As the police came and took Hotstreak away, Skye noted that he sent her a glare so intense she knew they would meet again. She wrapped her arms around herself and flinched as a hand touched her shoulder. Turning around she saw that it was Gear. "Are you alright?" He asked softly.
Nodding, Skye answered, "Yeah I am. Thank you. Your Gear right?" Gear nodded and smirked. "Yep thats me. The heroic supergenius at your service."
Skye couldnt help but crack a small smile which he returned. "Hey are you ok miss?" Skye just noticed that Static had walked over after speaking with the police. "Yes i'm ok. Thank you both for helping me."
Static did a little bow and winked at her. "Hey its what we do. And that slime Hotstreak never learned how to treat a lady as pretty as you."
Skye had the grace to blush at his comment.
Gear spoke up. "Your arm is burnt. Do you want us to take you to the hospital?" His voice sounded full of sincere concern. Skye glanced at her arm and sent him a grin.
"No its ok. The burn really isnt so bad and I heal pretty fast anyway."
They both nodded and Static picked up his metal disk. "Well we better head out. Be careful walking home miss."
Skye nodded and watched as they headed to fly out. Gear turned to her suddenly. "Would you like us to fly you home?" Skye started. Her home wasnt but 10 minutes away if she walked. She didnt really like depending on others. Skye was an independent person. However, she wasnt sure if she felt very safe walking home after what had happend.
"Well...I think I will be ok. But thank you for the offer." Gear nodded and smiled. "Alright, but be careful ok?" He sounded almost dissapointed. As Skye really looked at him, she couldnt help but feel he was familiar. Of course his face was hard to make out with his helmet on.
Skye shook it off for now and smiled at them both. "I will." She waved to them as they flew off. Well I cant say my first day hasnt been interesting. She mused as she walked home.
