On Tuesday we started emergency training for RTE (a required class at our school called Responding To Emergencies where we learn CPR and stuff).

We used really creepy plastic dummies with no arms or legs. They had no pupils and their noses and mouths could be taken off.

"Today we're going to be practicing with choking victims. First you have to do the heimleich on your partners, and then they have to pretend to faint so you can catch them. Now, I've assigned you to what I thought was sensible pairs. Beth, you're paired with Fred." I ignored the rest. I had to work with *the blob*. I was hardly 5'3 and he looked like he could squash a car. This was going to be interesting, and extremely stupid, like everything else about school.

"Ok class, the first thing you're going to do is ask them if they want you to help. At this point, they have stopped coughing because no air can get in at all. Then you put your arms around the victim like so and thrust your fist upward."

I raised my hand. "Uh, what If you can't fit your arms around the victim?"

"Well, uh, I don't know. Deal with that as the situation arises."

"No, I mean I really can't fit my arms around the partner."

"Er, just do your best. Now, The victim goes unconscious and falls back into your arms. Lay them down on the ground gently and don't let their head hit the ground."

"Er, teacher…" I looked up at the immense shape of the blob. "TEACHER!" SPLAT

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was Stalker Dan hovering over me. "Can I try CPR now?"

"Well, she is breathing, but sure, go ahead."

I screamed and brought my feet up to my chest and then used them to kick out at Dan. He flew back against the closet door, and since it is part of our school, the door broke, sending Dan into the closet.

"Don't EVER get that close to me again or you will be very sorry. And dead."

He picked himself out of the closet door and positioned himself about a foot away. "Hows this?"

"Further."

"Now?"

"Further."

I continued to make Dan walk backwards until he was out in the hallway.

"Now quadruple that distance and that might be perfect."

After school was out, we all went to burger king to celebrate me not being completely squished by the blob. Except the brotherhood had somewhat of the same idea. Toad was currently hopping up and down on the counter demanding more catsup. Staci ran up and hopped on the counter too.

"I wanna have catsup too! Catsup! That's the best food ever!"

"Yo, hey I thought you wanted Toad. And I'll be happy to share my catsup." He said with a wink.

"EWWW! That's disgusting!" Staci shrieked and pushed toad off the counter.

Lance was currently shaking the cashier by the collar. "*What's* our bill?"

"375 dollars?"

The ground began to tremble.

"BLOB, YOU EAT WAY TOO MUCH! Ok, here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna give the meal to us for free. Or else."

"Or else what?" The cashier said, quaking.

"Or else you'll be forced to see our powers."

"What are your powers?" The poor employee was now bright red and visibly trembling.

"Well, I'll rock things." Lance said and the ground started shaking.

"I hop around and spit slime and stuff, yo." Toad said, demonstrating and hitting an old lady.

"Don't forget your smell!" Staci yelled, jumping around on the counter.

"I run around really fast and make tornadoes and stuff." Pietro put in.

Wanda was sulking in a corner as usual and refused to comment.

"What's his power?" The casheir asked, pointing a trembling finger at the blob.

"Uh…"

"OOOH!" Staci interrupted. "His power is fatness!" She jumped up and down even more frantically and then slipped on a package of catsup, squirting it everywhere.

"My precious catsup!" Staci yelled from the ground. She stole all of Toad's packets and began eating them. Toad cried because of all of the injustices. The brotherhood ended up getting a free meal, as long as they promised to eat it outside.

As we were enjoying our "freedom" fries, Toad stuck his head in and shouted, "Can I have more catsup?"

Priya shot a fireball at him and everyone cheered. "Man, this means I just used my powers for good!" Priya shouted sulkily.

"But you got to beat someone up, so its all ok." Jenn pointed out.

"Yeah I guess so. But it would make me feel if I…" Andy shrieked. Something cold and wet had been smeared on his arm. He looked at it. It was very sparkily.

"Save me." He yelped. But when Priya got that look, nothing and no one could stop the destruction.
