Chapter 10: Arrival
We're finally here! Just to be random, I spread out my arms, twirled around, and yelled,
"HEL-LO SUPERSCHOOL!", Bolton laughed behind me
"So, we gonna call it that for short? Good. Makes things easier for me." He said, grabbing his bag from the trunk. I looked around and saw lots more supers arriving. Men were walking around to every car picking up luggage. A man in a red uniform came up to us with a cart, and put our bags onto it. He put stickers with the numbers "456" and "457" onto our bags. He then begrudgingly walked away to the school.
The school was like nothing I'd ever seen! It was just AMAZING! The entire building was just stone and glass. Das it… Bolton, Mr. Lite and I all followed the man that took our bags into the school. As soon as we walked in, we saw like, A MILLION different superheroes and villains, running around, greeting each other. I could see one girl with pink and blue hair, and a red and white striped shirt, literally doing cartwheels around, handing people flyers. She made it over to us and said,
"Hello newcomers! My names Candi, HERE YOU GO!" she then handed us each a cream colored flyer that said,
"
School sneak-out dance!
Come for the time of your lives! Sneak out of your dorms at 8:00 this Saturday for a fun-filled night!
Where? :The school catacombs
When?: This Saturday, at 8:00 PM
Why?: To welcome new students and to mingle!
And remember… SHHHHhhhhhh
"
I looked at Bolton like that girl was insane. Which she was, but that's not the point. Bolton and I quickly hid the flyers from Mr. Lite, so he wouldn't get the wrong idea We saw so many abilities, and by 'seeing abilities' I mean almost being knocked out by a girl with super speed. We walked over to the seats and waited for the lines to decrease by… bout' 95%... o-o
We then waited in line to register. We FINALLY got to the front of the line. The lady at the counter asked us, our powers, our hero name, and our room preferences… But for some reason, her voice was… dull… She literally had NO emotion whatsoever, it was like a female Eeyore… o-o
She gave us each our room cards, and gave us directions. As we walked, we saw signs that pointed in opposite directions that said, 'Boy's Dorms' and 'Girl's Dorms'. Bolton and I turned around and looked at his dad. Bolton hugged his Dad, as we waved him goodbye. We then walked our separate ways, to our rooms, where my luggage sat, on my bed. Wow… the school's really outdone themselves! My room was big, with two steps leading to an upper deck where a white bed sat. Everything was white.
"I wonder if the lady at the front desk designed this." I sighed to myself.
"Good afternoon Master Amber." I heard a voice say.
"AH! Who was that!?" I yelped
"Don't worry Master Amber. It is only me. Your H-pad." I walked around my room, and next to my door I saw a screen, about the size of an Ipad, on my wall. A little face appeared on it and smiled at me.
"My what-pad?" I stuttered, a bit scared.
"Your H-pad. I am an AI system that helps you. You might notice screens all around the school. To access your own E-pad, type in the password '005032'. You might want to wright that down." The voice said. I quickly grabbed a pad and paper from my suitcase, and wrote it down.
"Would you like to decorate your room?" The voice asked. It's screen switched from a face, to a screen with a color scheme, and tabs labeled 'covers', 'curtains', 'walls', 'carpets', and 'decorations'. I tapped on each of the tabs. I went to 'covers' and chose neon orange for my bed's covers. I then turned around and in the blink of an eye my white sheets turned neon orange. I continued to customize the curtains and walls and stuff, when I finally finished. Everything was neon colors like orange and pink.
"Beautiful choices Master Amber!" my H-pad said.
"oooooooooo pretty!" Coaleen exclaimed. she ran over to my bed and laid down on my sheets.
"So are you finishing your nap now?" I asked Coaleen.
"ummm yeah" she mumbled, getting comfortable
"If you would like, tap on my settings to turn down my volume. You can also take me out of your wall to use me as a portable electronic. You never know, my calculator app might come in handy when you need to divide a fraction by variable n." it said. I smiled at it, and took it off the wall to try it out.
"So can I like download apps, and games?" I asked sitting in a hot pink disk chair that I chose from 'decorations'
"Of course you can! The H-pads in the school have their own app store, where you can get music, books, games, and more!" it said, smiling again
"Cool." I said
"For the rest of the day, you don't have any classes, but I suggest you go around the halls and locate all the classrooms. You can take me along and I will give you directions!"
"Okay!" I said walking out the door, grabbing my phone. I walked down the dorm's hallway, and saw Bolton in the lobby. He was talking to two more superheroes that looked…. Really…. Familiar…. LE GASP!
I ran over to Bolton and said,
"Is that who I think it is?!" I looked up at Bolton and smiled excidetily. He nodded.
"Yea! It's us… Why?" Fern Grow said.
"I'm just glad some other people from school are here! Other than Bolton…. Hi Iceandra!" I said
"Hello Amber." She said, sticking her hand out. I shook and looked at them,
"So what're your powers?" I asked.
"Ice." Iceandra said
"Plants? No….. Nature? No….. Both? Yea." Fern said, a little unsure of himself.
Iceandra laughed, as Bolton spoke up.
"Did you guys see the H-pad kiosk? It has gift cards, and cases." He said, flashing his H-pad case with lighting decorating it. Iceandra and Fern showed their green and icy blue cases to us. I felt left out
"Actually… I haven't yet, but I'm going over there now… So wanna come?" I asked awkwardly.
"No… I'm good. We're just gonna hang here and wait… Mk?" he asked
I nodded, and walked over to the kiosk by the stairs. When I walked over I saw another girl waiting for her case to be ready. She had pink hair in a ponytail, and she was wearing a dark purple dress. Her skin was a pale grey. She didn't look too friendly, so I avoided her. She might even be a villain… But my nice sensors kicked in, and I couldn't stop myself from saying,
"Hi. I'm Amber." SHOOT! She looked at me, wide-eyed, and angry. But me? I just stood there, smiling like and idiot. She glared at me. OUP HERE COMES THOSE NICE SENSORS AGAIN.
"What's your name?" I asked. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME?! I heard her mumble something
"Huh?" I asked
"J—x" she said, a teeny bit louder. She seemed annoyed
"Hm?" I said, scared to annoy her anymore.
"AMBER NO!" I heard Iceandra yell behind me.
"MY NAME IS JINX!" she said, with a magenta plasma surrounding her. She punched me, and sent me flying back. She flew toward me and said,
"YOU HEROES THINK IT'S SOOOO FUNNY WHEN VILLAINS GET AGITATED! WELL IF YOU MESS WITH ME, THINGS WILL BE A LOT WORSE THAN SOME NORMAL VILLAINS LIKE 'HARLEY QUINN' !" She screamed at me.
"Why you gettin up in mah grill?" I asked
"What?" she said angrily.
"You weren't invited to mah BBQ so why you up in my griiiiiilll?" I asked.
"YOU THINK THAT FUNNY?! HERE! I'LL SHOW YOU FUNNY!" She continued to punch me with fists of plasma, until I gave up, and just laid there, staring up at the ceiling. I looked at the H-pad kiosk guy, and he just sunk slowly behind the counter, putting a 'closed' sign up…
I then watched as Jinx walked away, smoothing her hair and dress. Bolton, Iceandra, and Fern all rushed over to me and helped me up.
"Are you okay!?" Bolton shouted. I smiled and nodded. Glad to know he cared.
"Well thanks to jinx I didn't my H-pad case…" I sighed, looking at the 'closed' sign that hung on the kiosk…
"WHY DIDN'T YOU USE YOUR POWERS?" Iceandra shouted. Fern was about to slug her in the arm, but decided not to, since she would go all 'ice crazy' on him.
"I don't know… I guess I was just in shock." I said, "But I'm ok now. I'm going back to my dorm." I started to walk back to my dorm, clutching my H-pad.
