Palmer's POV

Monday was not going to be a good day. I knew that from the moment I woke up. Fergalicious was playing on the radio. It took all my will power not to pull the Raiders blanket over my head and fake sick, but I wanted to see Save the Citizen. So when the song from hell was over I dragged myself out of bed and pulled on jeans, a dark purple long sleeved tee shirt, and a black tank top. Depressing, but my favorite colors.

"Palmer hurry up!" Dad yelled. I came running down the stairs just in time to catch the fruit and oatmeal bar that was chucked at my head. "You're going to be late." Dad said pointing to the door. As I walked out the bus was getting to my stop so I had to run to catch it.

It was not the best of mornings.

Oh but it was about to get worse.

"Hey Palmer!" Layla cried as I got on the bus. I smiled and went back to sit with them. I ended up next to Magenta.

"Looking forward to your first Save the Citizen?" Ethan asked.

"What's to look forward to? We sit and watch Warren and Will kick butt." Magenta rolled her eyes. They all shrugged and nodded.

"But it's still fun to know we're friends with the guys kicking butt." Zach pointed out.

"So did you all see the new episode of Desperate Housewives last night?" Layla asked, sending us into a wild discussion over the primetime soap opera.

WIGTSF (What I Go To School For my Clever little scene change break thing)

We got to the school and headed to the locker rooms to change. I don't like the colors of our gym clothes, but it could be worse. I followed Magenta and Layla out into an arena. We sat next to Ethan and Zach.

"Where are Will and Warren?" I asked, the other four pointed into the arena, where Will and Warren were 'suited up' and waiting. I rested my elbows on my knees and my chin in my hands as I waited. Will and Warren chose to be the good guys and picked to go against Lash and Speed, the jerks I cocooned last week. I couldn't wait to see them lose.

It didn't happen like that. Lash managed to wrap himself around a pole and Will, keeping him out of reach. Meanwhile Speed ran in a circle and Warren couldn't breathe or something like that, I don't know I was having a heart attack with everyone else. All I know is Will and Warren lost. Speed and Lash were declaring themselves the bad guys and had to choose opponents.

"Harrison." Lash said. I was hoping to anything and everything that there was another Harrison in the school. No such luck. Boomer yelled at me to get down there while Lash and Speed picked someone else.

"Glow worm." They pointed at Zach. We were dead. We suited up and walked out. From the look on his face I could tell Zach agreed. He was paler than usual. We walked out and looked around at everything.

"I'm going to pass out." I muttered.

Zach's POV

"I'm going to pass out" Palmer muttered. I turned to her.

"Please don't." she gave me a small smile.

"Ready?" Boomer shouted. "Go!" It had begun. I stood there, unsure of what to do. Palmer had closed her eyes and looked like she was in pain. Neither of us was paying attention and it came as a surprise when Speed hit me like a ton of bricks and Lash threw himself at Palmer. I fell to the ground and tried to get out of the way as Speed came back. I head Palmer cry out and looked up to see Lash with his arm around her, keeping her from moving. She moved her hands and pinched him. I laughed and moved just in time. The next time I didn't move in time. I felt Speed grab my arm and I was catapulted across the room. It hurt really bad.

Next thing I knew there was a flash of metal and Lash and Speed were shouting. They had been pinned to the wall with the metal blades from the thing that's supposed to eat the citizen. I looked at Palmer, who looked torn between tears and passing out. She chose to run out. I ran after her, ignoring Boomer yelling for us to come back.

"Palmer!" I called, looking around for her. I heard a sniffling and opened the door to the empty classroom. Palmer sat against the wall next to the door, crying. I sank down on the floor next to her. "You okay?" I asked.

"No." Palmer shook her head.

"What's wrong?" I wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She glared at me.

"You're kidding right?"

"No."

"I could have killed them! I didn't even want to play the stupid game!" Palmer cried. "I just wanted to watch other people fight!" I laughed.

"Well now everyone knows not to mess with you." I said trying to help. Palmer shrugged.

"That's true." I squeezed her shoulder gently.

"It's alright. You didn't do anything wrong." I said, trying to comfort her.

"I hate this." She muttered. "I don't want this freaking power." I frowned.

"What?"

"The only good thing to come of it is you guys." She sniffed, leaning against my chest.

"You'll learn to love your power." I promised. She laughed bitterly.

"I doubt that."

"You will." I insisted.

"Whatever you say Zach, whatever you say."

A/N Okay it took forever I'm sorry! Well I now have a plan of what will happen. Love you all. Super thanks to Funkyjazzcat and Musicismylife101 for helping me out! Oh and the title is from the Jonas brother's song.
