And I'm back! Happy 4th of July to all my fellow Americans! It's our countries birthday tomorrow! Busy day today, but I went to the library and got six books. Then we went to get ice cream. Let's just say I got a large sundae. Not my best choice, XD
The next morning I'm flying through the city at top speed. The wind at my back and seeing everything. Missing the bus is the worst and the best that. It means I get to fly but I have to fly above the radar of people.
The city was wide awake and roaring. Everything was alive and happy. I fly down to the trees behind the school and wait a second until my wigs disappear. Then I walk in. The halls are empty. Crap. I look at the clock on the wall and groan. Just great.
I head to my locker and stuff my backpack in it. I then grab my supplies and head to class. Of course I'm late. Superhero stuff, am I right?
I grab ahold of the door knob and turn it slowly, then rush to the back of the room where my seat is. Mr. Rick stares at me. BUsted. Good going, Nimoy.
"I'm sorry, there was construction and I had to take a detour." I lie.
"I'll let it go this time, but consider this a warning." He turns back to the chalkboard and I relax in my seat a bit.
I grab my notebook.
The symbiote is torture. It took control of my brother. I don't know what to do. I'm just a lonely Ant on the top of a big Ant hill. I mean, I have my team, my friends. But, my other best friend, her name is Mandie. She thinks I'm ignoring her. We have always sat next to each other. But, now I sit with my team. I don't know what to do anymore. I need to do something, but I don't know what.
I can just keep lying to Mandie, or tell her the truth. But she isn't crazy about superheroes. She doesn't really care about them, because she thinks she'll never meet them. Ugh, life! I'm not even listening to Mr. Rick. He's to annoying to listen too.
Okay, getting back to the topic. Never mind, I'm all over the place. Okay, homeroom over, now to... for tuturning!
I shut my notebook shut as the warning bell rings and dash out of the room.
Miss Coopersin walks around the smartboard speaking about something or other. I didn't think to pay attention. As I sat down she looks right at me then at the clock .
"Alrighty kiddos, Mr. Orchard will be subbing for you as I take these guys for tutoring." she says and signals us to get up.
I grab my bag and walk into the detention room as the floor drops. My stomach feels like it drops out of my body as I slide through the tube. I still don't understand how it has us in our costumes by the time it's over.
Jessica waits for us already in her suit. HOW?
"Alright!" she says "Today's lesson..." she looks at us probably to build suspense. Gah! I hate when people do that!
"Sparing," she says, "Ok White Tiger with Spider, Iron fist with Bucket head and Ant girl… " She looks straight at me, "Your with me for sparing."
I freeze and lock up . Oh dear god, I think, I'm going to get my butt kicked. HAH! Was I right or what! Jessica barrels straight towards me and I turn quickly to move out of her way. She growls and heads towards me again. I think fast and shoot a fireball straight for her.
"Ant Girl," she scolds. "T̈his is sparing with your body not your powers."
She lifts her arm as the ball collides with her and she falls to the ground. I can feel my heart racing and tears swelling in my eyes. She slowly gets up. Her exposed hand signed by the flame. She walks towards me then grabs my shoulder.
"Good thinking but sometimes you can't use your powers you have to use your mind." She looks at her hand "How am i going to explain this hand and hide it?"
My shoulders drop as I realize she's not seriously hurt.
"OMG, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." I gasp.
She laughs. "It's okay, you're still learning. But no powers, just your body, okay? Let's try again."
I nod slowly and conceal my powers inside my body. Just run out of sugar already! Jessica runs fast towards me again and I dodge. No powers, I remind myself calmly. She swings at me but I stop it with my arm, raised high in the air.
She smiles and nods and pushes down on my arms, causing me to stumble. I regain balance and punch her in the gut. She doesn't seem hurt and smiles again. How? Again, so many hows?
I charge again, and see that she's charging too. We collide and both fall to the floor. I'm the first to get up and place my foot on her chest.
"DIE!" I laugh. "Die already!"
Jessica raises her hands. "Very good. All done for now. That was well done."
She stands up and stares to something over my shoulder. I see everyone else turning their attention to where she's looking too. I turn around and see a little boy, mabe 10 or younger, standing in the doorway, in a superhero costume.
Sorry for some of the grammar mistakes, my friend wrote this chapter and has absolutely disgraceful punctuation. I had to fix it so I don't catch everything.
thanks for reading!
