Weeks later, I was pretty much healed. Healed to the point I wasn't completely unable to do anything. It felt good being able to run around again. Even though that meant getting into trouble once again.
Today, I was sitting in on Caine, Diana and a few others as they practiced their mutant powers. I still couldn't understand how and why they had them. It was both very weird and very cool at the same time. I was also a bit jealous. Did they just tell me this to rub it in my face?
I smile when Diana sits next to me. She takes a sip of my coffee and stares off into the distance.
"So, how's the mutant freak training going?" I ask.
She shoots me a look, looking far from amused. "It's going pretty well. This is the longest we've gone without an accide-"
"Hey, that tree is on fire."
"..." Diana sighed.
"Someone put out that fire before it spreads!" Caine commanded.
I lean back and stare at the crowds, bored out of my mind. It was early in the morning, much more early than I should've been up. School didn't start for another 30 minutes! This would be much more awesome if I had my own power to practice. But instead, I get to sit here and supervise. But, I guess that's what Diana does every day, and she doesn't complain.
Caine had telekinesis, Adam had control over fire, Lisa had the ability to shift through walls, and Brianna(or Breeze as she likes to be called), had super speed. They kind of worked together to practice, but they were more focused on not being caught. Hence, why we're up at this ungodly time.
"Hey, new kid!" Brianna suddenly appears at my side.
I jump a foot in the air. After a few moments to collect my thoughts, I wave. "Sup, Bri-eeze."
"I'm bored, I have no one to practice with! Come race me."
"...That's funny, Breeze." I roll my eyes. "I can't run. It's basically a joke to race against you of all people."
"C'mon, I'll even take it easy for you!"
"No."
"You suck..."
"You insult me," I stand up and dust my jeans off. "Race you? Pfft, so funny I forgot to laugh."
"Ah, whatever." She bolts away.
The day went on pretty well. The weather was nice, there was no homework, I passed my test... I hadn't seen Drake all day! Today was going great. Until... It was time for Home Ec.
The teacher had announced that since we were done with section 1, we would start a project. And what is this project? To work with our partner to raise a plastic baby doll. And who picked the partners? Some guy who hates me cause I got him detention. I was terrified to see who he'd pair me up with. That creepy girl with all the tattoos? The weird foreign exchange student? Someone who could mess up my already pretty bad grade?!
Oh dear god, have mercy.
The guy looks straight at me and grins wickedly, "Drake and Sonia,"
Drake slams his fist down on the table and curses, whereas I just hold my head in my hands and groan. What did I do to deserve this? I'm a good person most of the time, why do I have to be stuck with that stupid bully?!
I'm screwed. I'm screwed. I am so very screwed.
