Complicated Love
Chapter 4
Will said "What's power placement?" I looked at him like he was crazy and said "Power placement it determines how strong your power is and then where you're power would be best useful." "I wasn't asking you" said Will with a glare as he turned round to here Magenta say "what Sophie said is true they do test you on how powerful your power is; the unfortunate thing is that they judge your power on whether it is ready for hero track or loser track." "What's the loser track" asked Will, Ethan said "technically the term loser track isn't used if your power isn't strong enough then you placed on hero support" "or as many people call it the side kick roll" said Zeke. We all nodded Will looked even nervous then he did before and I know that he is always and I mean always mean to me but the fact is I have a big heart so I said "Hey at least you get to stay here and you don't get kicked out, mean you don't have to choose to use your powers for the kicking evil villain booty do you?" What I didn't know then was that they were all listening to me and when I mean all I mean the entire newbie class, and they were all agreeing with what I said like I was the voice of reason or something. It felt kind of nice to have soothing centred on me entirely for once and not just on my brother, however if you think that my brother was happy for me you would be mistaken the glare he was sending at me felt like it was about to burn a hole right through my face, oh well you can win some and lose some but it looks like with my brother I will never win one.
"Welcome to power placement" we all turned round to see a man in short white track suit and a baseball cap, let's just say this man had no sense of fashion. "This morning and afternoon I Coach Boomer, though some of you my know me from my days as Sonic Boom will decide on whether you are meant for the hero track or for sidekick track. After I have made my decisions there is no changing my mind, are we all clear?" said Coach Boomer there were a few murmurs of "okay" from the crowd so Coach Boomer in his Sonic Boom voice said "ARE WE CLEAR!" We all said "yes Coach Boomer, Sir" as he'd been taking the sports hall had been changing its structure to make a raised platform in the centre and different obstacles around the sports hall that seemed to be there to test everyone's powers. "Right so I will pick you out of the crowd and you will come here and tell me your power and then you will present it to me and the rest of the class." Will said quietly "do we really have to do power placement in front of everybody" me and Layla nodded as Coach Boomer said "right you red haired kid get up here" and this kid stepped up to the platform that looked very geeky. "What's your name kid?" said Coach Boomer "Larry" said the kid "Little Larry, show us your power" said Coach Boomer. As we all watched him we all wondered what power he could have and we waited and he turned into a giant rock monster that had Coach Boomer saying "Big Larry, hero." He started going through people very quickly especially after Zeke had embarrassed himself by declaring himself a sidekick. Then Coach Boomer said "ok flower power you're up" and Layla said "I don't believe in using my powers if there isn't a just cause" and Coach Boomer said "there is a just cause this is for the rest of your life, now get up here." And just before Layla started going on about how she wouldn't use her powers as she doesn't believe in labelling I stopped her and said quietly "Layla you need to do this I mean, I need to know somebody in Hero class" she nodded and said "okay but just for you Sophie" we hugged and she went up to the platform and performed her amazing earth powers and give Coach Boomer and apple, Boomer smiled, well a smile for him and said Hero. As she got off the platform me and Layla jumped about hugging and laughing, when we heard the lunch bell ring and Coach Boomer say "right we'll continue this after lunch starting with you" both me and Layla looked round to se Coach Boomer pointing at Will. Uh oh Wills placement isn't going to be pretty especially with the look on his face it looks like he's about faint.
So Me, Layla Will, Zeke, Magenta and Ethan went to lunch. While we were walking there I had to listen to Zeke go on and on about how bad Coach Boomer was completely stupid not to put him in Hero class. I just walked away and started to get my lunch and this cafeteria food was not nice, there was a disgusting look spaghetti type of thing and what seemed to be a hot dog, except the sausage that seemed to be made of black tar. There was one edible thing on the menu though and that was a sandwich, well I think I'm going to be bring lunch from home from now on. I walked back to the table to were Layla and the others were sitting to see Zeke being talked down to by Coach Boomer, he said "are you making fun of me sidekick?" Zeke stuttered "no" "no what" replied Coach Boomer, "No sir, no sir" repeated Zeke. Coach Boomer smiled as he shape shifted back into his original self which I just realised was the kid that got put in Hero class said "relax sidekick, I'm just messing with you" Zeke laughed as Ethan shouted after him as the shape shifter went past that "he wasn't supposed to us his powers outside the gym." So there we all were me, Layla and Will set on one side of the table and Magenta, Ethan and Zeke were on the other side. While we were eating me and Layla were talking about how cool her power display was and that her power was growing bigger and bigger each day, while Ethan, Magenta and Zeke were taking about how they were all in sidekick class and could help each other out, we were all chatting along nicely and was enjoying the atmosphere of the cafeteria at Sky High until I heard Will say "Is it just me or is that guy glaring at me?" Me and Layla decided to turn round to see whether or not the guy was staring at him and it was then I saw it.
It was him it was the guy from the car park, oh my god he looked ever more amazing then he had when he was standing by he's car. From here I could see that he had jet black hair with a red streak in it, he was wearing a tight black T-shirt with matching black leather jacket and some baggy black jeans. He was the best looking person that I have ever seen. Layla and I turned back around while I said to Will "yeh he is staring at you," while Zeke said "dude that's Warren Peace" we all looked shocked as Will said "who's Warren Peace?" I scuffed I mean really dad doesn't even love me and I pay attention to his wittering on about the villain's he has captured. Layla said "Warren Peace is born of his mum being a super hero and dad being a super villain there supposedly in constant battle." We all nodded and was shocked when Will asked "so why is he glaring at me?" Ethan replied by saying "that your Dad Will put his in jail on a quadruple life sentence, no chance of parole until after his third life." "Great my first day of Sky High and I already have an arch enemy" said Will "the only thing I can't figure out" he continued "is that he is glaring at me but he hasn't even glared at Sophie I wonder why that is?" Layla laughed and said "maybe it's her feminine charms" they all laughed as I really hoped that he would notice me not just for being my dad's daughter but because of who I was. I turned to see if he was still glaring at Will, but when I turned round he wasn't glaring at Will he was looking at me, I started to blush at him catching me staring at him, but I was even more embarrassed when he winked at me. This is going to be one heck of a school and hopefully a good school year.
