When I got home, I did the usual routine.

Got a snack, plopped down on the couch, and turned on whatever looked worth watching on my tv. I settled on something that was labled as "very important news" on the bottom of the screen. Apparently there was another random giant robot attacking the urban area of the city.

Two superheroes popped in, ones that really looked like Riley and Zia, but older, by the way… Then they kicked that robot's butt and the guy flew up and threw it who-knows-where. Nice.

Suddenly the phone rang. I didn't want to, but I got off of my comfy couch and looked at the ID. It said "Balliett, Roger". I answered it, having a feeling of knowing who it was.

"Hey Desi, it's Heather. I still don't really get the science homework. Could you come over?"

I knew Heather Balliett from my middle school, and she just happened to be my science partner at Sky High. She reads minds… and gossips about everything, which is NOT a good combination.

"You still don't get the science homework? You read minds, right? How could you not know how to make freeze rays just by reading the teacher's mind?"

"Mmhmm… About that. I was off daydreaming about a love of mine, which I also want to talk to you about. Just come over!"

Ow. She screamed that last part in my ear.

"Uh, okay, I'll be there." I hung up.

A benefit of teleporting: You don't have to walk anywhere.

She almost screamed again when I popped unexpectedly into her bedroom.

"Oh, thank God… Okay, so, I heard you liked Riley, but Dylan really likes you… But he doesn't even know me, heck, I don't think he's ever even seen me. Maybe when you hang out with him tomorrow at the Paper Lantern you could bring me? Please?"

"Uh…" What do I say to that?!

"Suurre," I said, actually only half sure. "Didn't you need help with science?"

"Well, yeah, but that was, shall I say, my main priority. Anyway, just go over it in your head and I'll be fine."

I sighed. Dylan's going to hate me. I know it.
