Chapter 7

Love makes you do crazy things

Nurse Spex had concluded that I was healing and I could return to school. I walked slowly to the bus; my thoughts were on a rampage. "Hey Starla! Feeling any better?" Will asked. "I'm feeling…better then ever." I said my voice was dreamy. Will gave a look of confusion but then shook it off.

We stepped on the bus and I was joined with questions from Layla, Zach, Ethan and Majenta. I had to simply lie about most of the questions like "Where were you Friday? I tried calling you." or "Did you leave the house?" I had to just say I was sleeping I didn't feel like answering the phone. I couldn't tell them where I really was.

Finally, we arrived at school and I headed to my hero class. This was the one class Warren wasn't in and I was happy about that. I don't know how I'd face him after what happened Friday.

I sat at my desk, doodling. I didn't feel like paying attention. "Ms. Bright!" my head flew up. "Why aren't you paying attention? You are one of my best students." I sighed and looked up at my teacher. "I'm sorry; my mind's been off somewhere else all day." I explained. My teacher nodded and continued on with the lesson. I let out a sigh.

When class ended I headed to my locker with my head low, smile on my face. I found my locker and opened it up. I had posted wing wings on the corners of the door and sky blue wall paper to the back, images of angels hang all over my collage. I never considered myself like an angel but my dove like wings projected the image that I was.

Once when I was little, my best friend saw me as I was powering up, revealing my wings. She thought I was an angel sent to bring back her desist grandfather. She had been the first to see me as I truly was. She was my first true friend. But, sadly a year later her and her mother died in a car crush. I missed her dearly… and I always would. She was the first one to show me that I could be someone great. She was the first to tell me that I was beautiful and not some freak.

I pulled out the books I needed for my next class and then closed the locker door. As I did so, Warren appeared behind the space in which the door had once occupied. I gasped and held my chest.

"You scared me Warren." I said as I tried not to make eye contact. "We need to talk." He said.

I let out a deep sigh. Before he could speak I blurted out, "Will you go to homecoming with me?" I knew it wasn't proper for the girl to ask but I had to. Warren looked around. No one was near us. He took my hands in his and lend down. We kissed. I tried to make it last but Warren pulled away too quickly.

"I'm sorry but we can't do this anymore." I felt my tears begin to build up but I wouldn't let myself cry. "Why? I thought… Friday we…" Warren turned away. "It just wouldn't work. We are too different." My eyes began to water and I let one tear fall freely. "Warren…" I reached my hand to his cheek but he pushed it away. "Good bye."

Time moved slowly then. I felt students begin to move around me at a sluggish pace. I had forced my tears to stop their flow. I didn't want my friends to worry. I really thought we could have made it work but…

I swallowed, I was going to forget, force myself to forget everything. I walked to my next class and gasped when I realized it was my nuclear science class and Warren was my lab partner. "Forget him!" I shouted a loud. Freshmen students looked at me, puzzled. I smiled and quickened my pace.

When I walked into the classroom I was relieved to see that Warren was late. Will looked at me, noticing the redness in my eyes. "Starla, your eyes are so red. Were you … crying?" I shook my head and faked a smile. "Just an eye lash that's all." I pretended to remove the annoyance and blow it away.

"Alright everyone, we will start today's class with an experiment. So if you all could move to your stations." Mr. Brilliant commanded. I remained where I was and watched everyone move around me.

"Starla, is your partner not here today?" Mr. Brilliant asked. I shook my head. "I guess he left early…" The door opened and Warren walked in carrying a coke can. "Glad you could finally join us Mr. Peace. Now throw that away and join your lab partner."

Warren groaned and frowned at his teacher. He tossed the can in the trash and moved my way. He sat down and I didn't want to look at him. I just wanted to get this over with and leave.

"So I guess we have to work together huh?" Warren said as he picked up a tube filled with a strange red liquid. I nodded, trying to remain strong. I picked up a test tube and poured a blue liquid into it. "We… we have to put the blue in with the red." I poured the substance into an empty container.

"You see even though the blue and the red chemicals are completely different…" I took the tube from him which contained the red liquid and poured it into the container. It mixed with the blue liquid and formed a beautiful arrangement of rainbow sparks.

"But when put together… you create sparks. You see… different isn't always bad."

Warren gave me a look I couldn't read and I turned away. The sparks continued until we were instructed to add another chemical. "Now class add the dotecitin acid into the container."

I picked up a pink liquid which I identified as the dotecitin acid. I poured it into the substance and fire blew from the container. "It seems when something… or someone else is added to the picture… it creates problems." I looked at Warren, trying to decipher what he meant. It didn't matter now… nothing did.

Class ended and I quickly walked out with Will. Will groaned. "You're arms still bothering you?" I asked as I noticed him rubbing them. "Yeah really bad." We walked to our lockers when I dropped my pencil. It rolled under a heavy garbage can. "Will could you get that?" I figured he would be able to easily left the can and retrieve my lost pencils.

Will nodded and walked to the garbage can. He grabbed the edge and began to pull but it didn't budge. "Everything alright Will?" He smiled. "Yup." He struggled to lift the heavy object but finally managed. He reached down and grabbed my pencil. "Here." He tossed it to me and then he quickly let go of the garbage can.

I was worried about him but figured it was nothing. I had so many other things to worry about I didn't need to add to my troubles. Zach ran toward us smiling.

"Guys! Guess what?" I smiled, "What Zach? Have you discovered a way to both glow and be annoying at the same time?" I turned around and saw Veronica walking with Warren down the hallway. I felt like slapping the bitch but remained still. Zach saw the hatred on my face and put a hand on my shoulder. "He's not worth it." He whispered. I let out a growl and turned away.

"What's wrong with our little Star?" Veronica stepped closer toward me but I still didn't turn around. "Don't tell me she a little… jealous?" Veronica laughed loudly. Her laugh made me want to scream.

"Has Star fallen for someone who is already taken… who's already my boyfriend?" I let out a silent gasp and turned my head slightly to Warren. I felt like breaking down and crying but my anger covered my sadness.

"This is to perfect! Starla, you never had a chance with him. He doesn't love you; he's in love with me and has already asked me to homecoming." That's when I lost it. My eyes brightened with an unmistakable fiery. The power inside of me wanted escape. I had so much energy, so much power, I could easy kill her.

I tried quickly and jumped toward her. I hesitated to use my powers after what had happened the last time I used them but my hands automatically began to glow with the golden flame.

I grabbed the weaklings neck and tightly blocked her air passage way. She gasped for air. I knew she wouldn't try to control my action. She was too weak and helpless. Warren lunged toward me trying to pull my hands away from her neck but I stopped him. I turned my head toward him, staring him down with my eyes that glowed with bright golden anger. I felt such a seductive power and evilness. "Come any closer to me and I will kill you both." I held one hand out to Warren, threatening him to move closer.

"Why are you acting this way?" He asked no fear at all present in his voice. I glared at him and didn't answer. Will pulled me back and I knocked my head against the lockers. I lost concentration and the power that surged through my veins seemed to vanish. My head began to pound and I looked up at Veronica. At first her eyes depicted fear but she thought better of it and showed me she was angry.

"You bitch!" She screamed as she rubbed her neck. I had left two apparent burns on her perfect skin. I glared and Zach helped me stand. "What were you thinking?" Zach yelled. I put my head down. What was I thinking? It was as if someone or something else was controlling my actions. Love makes you do crazy thing, I thought as I looked at Warren. He put his arm around Veronica and walked away.

"That was strange Starla… don't ever pull something like that again." Will said. I sighed. "I'm sorry."

We walked to lunch and were met with glaring eyes. Had news about my little anger fit have spread that fast. I hang my head low, Zach and Will both protectively close to me. "Don't make eye contact." Will ordered as we walked to our seats. I tried as best I could to not look up but I felt her eyes, Melanie's menacing eyes on me.

My head slowly pulled up and I saw her, my eyes darted right toward her. I expected her to be giving me the same devil glare as the rest of the room but she… she was smiling! Smiling! Why would she smile? I wasn't even proud of what I had done. Why did she smile?

We sat down and I tried to forget about what had happened. Yet… something powerful had awoken something… evil. I shook my head. No, I wasn't evil, just mad with jealousy.

"Starla… relax." I looked up at a smiling Layla. "I can't forgive myself… I was… evil." I stated. "Never say that Starla, you could never be evil, only good."

Lunch ended and the day went on as usual. I tried as best as I could to ignore the glares of my classmates but they still bothered me. That's when I thought back to the events of the year so far. Warren's hands burn when he powers up. Mine are cut due to my power blasts and my wings… cut my skin. But there was also the incident in the gym with all that ice. What had happened?

I recognized one of the girls stepping out of the ice as Rebecca Winter. She was able to freeze things with her mind. Had she caused that giant glacier to trap all those students? I didn't think so. I mean she herself had been trapped in the ice. Also, she didn't really seem the type to do such a thing. But then again, I had learned not to trust so easily.

Well, the school day ended and once the bus dropped me off, I headed toward the library. I looked down an aisle marked "mind abilities and hidden powers." I was going to look for any book that might help me unlock the mystery of these strange occurrences. There were hundreds of books; it would take hours to look through all of them. I had time.

I picked up a book and quickly flipped through it. Ugh… it was all about the psychic ability of the mind, I had no time for that. I picked another and flipped through it. Pyrokinesis. Not what I was looking for.

I must have been there for about 2 hours when I reached the last book. I tossed it back into the shelf and sighed… nothing. I fell to my knees in frustration. "This is hopeless." I moaned. Then something caught my eye. Had I missed this book? I couldn't have, it was so big and abnormal. The binding was old and the pages wrinkled and yellow. The title was "Hidden powers of ancient people". I flipped through it as quickly but as cautiously as I could.

There were so many people I had heard of in the book, so many super heroes and villains. But then there were ones I'd never seen before. Like Jack Puzzle who saved Ireland from a massive comet in the early 1700s. Amazing, so many great people. Yet just as many bad. One name caught my eye. Melody Cole. She was a villain who stole the life forces of others, or in other words, she was a massive killer.

I heard movement behind me. A boy about my age, maybe a year older stood behind me. He had light blonde hair and a kind smile. "Sorry but the library's closing up, so if you want to check out that book I'd be happy to do so for you." I stood up and handed him the book. "Thanks, it took me a long time to find the book I was looking for." The boy smiled as he leads me to the check out at the front of the large library.

He scanning the book and handed it to me. "You're all set." He smiled and I was drawn into his icy blue eyes. He was very handsome. "What's you name?" I asked to make friendly conversation. "Kevin Embers. And what's your name?" I smiled and answered, "Starla bright." We giggled at our strange last names. "You look familiar have we met before?" Kevin asked.

I looked at him again, closely. Maybe I had met him before. "I'm not sure… Where do you go to school?" I asked. If he didn't answer "Sky high" I'd know we had never met. "Um… I'm not sure I should tell you." He said. I sighed and leaned toward him. "Sky High?" I asked in a whisper.

He gasped. "You know about Sky High? Only super heroes are supposed to know!" I nodded and let out a giggle. "I know. I go to school there." Kevin smiled widely. "So that's why you looked so familiar. I'm a junior there. Are you a sophomore?" he asked. I nodded. "Well then… has anyone asked you to Homecoming yet?"

I let out a silent gasp. Why not say yes? Warren was going with Veronica and the only other person who'd ask me would be Blake Night, but who'd want to go with him? I smiled. "No… are you asking me to homecoming?" Kevin smiled and nodded. "Then I except." We smiled at each other for along time.

"I better go, school tomorrow you know." I waved and left for home. I thought about Warren for a quick second and hoped he'd be jealous to see me with someone else. Love makes you do crazy things.
