" Emily, hurry up or you'll be late for the bus"
"I don't want to go to school, too tired"
"Too bad, you have to go!" Emily felt her mother pulling the bed sheets off that covered her face and forcing her out of bed.
"Quickly get your things ready and come down to breakfast, your bus will be here in 30 minutes!" yelled her mother, as she descended down the stairs into the kitchen.
Grumpy at the thought of starting high school after a long period of holidays, Emily got out of bed and strode towards her mirror. Gazing at it sleepily, Emily pulled back her long mane of blonde hair into a ponytail and stared at her complexion. Boys had always praised Emily for her gorgeous looks: her sleek long blonde hair, dark blue eyes and light tanned skin. Then Emily thought of her older sister Layla, long light orangey hair, dark green eyes and light skin, Emily thought that they looked nothing alike. As close as they were to each other, nobody ever believed that they were sisters.
"Emily, hurry up!"
This time it wasn't her mother calling her, but her father. Emily's dad was a computer scientist and was a normal human. Emily had inherited her powers from her mother, who had the strange ability of talking to animals, however Emily found this funny. It had been after their marriage that her mother had told her father that she had super-powers, and that there were many others like her. Of course you would have expected her dad to react strangely, but he had actually quite understood about it. But here they were, Emily thought, still together and as happy as ever. Though her mother had powers, Emily's mum was a pre-school teacher, and they all lived a normal daily life, except in the mornings when Layla had began Sky High. It was now Emily's turn to start Sky High, but even though she won't admit it, Emily was nervous.
"I won't ask you again Emily, hurry up! Stop dawdling!" yelled her mother from downstairs.
"I'm coming, I'm coming" replied Emily, as she changed her clothes and packed her bag. Emily stared at the mirror one last time.
"Well, this she be good enough for a first day" Emily said to herself, as she rushed downstairs to join her family.
"Good morning sunshine, are you nervous for your big day?" Emily's dad asked her as she sat down and started munching on some toast.
"Not really" replied Emily; though her sister could tell she was lying.
"It's not that bad Emily" Layla insured her from the other side of the table,
"You just have to watch out for Coach Boomer, but that whole "Side-Kick and Hero nonsense has stopped now, thanks to a certain event that happened two years ago!" Layla grinned skeptically.
It had been two years ago when Layla and her best friends Magenta, Zach, Ethan and Will (now her boyfriend) had stopped Royal Pain from destroying Sky High. At the success of this, Sky High now had a completely different teaching legislation, which meant that there was no longer going to be the process of dividing the school into Hero's or Side-Kicks.
"I'm sure you'll do just fine, honey" ensured Emily's mum as she poured more orange juice into Emily's glass.
"It's pretty cool on your first bus trip to Sky High as the bus goes so…fast you feel as though your going to fall out" said Layla, as she imitated everyone flying around the bus. Emily laughed nervously.
"But mum, why can't I go on the same bus as Layla and Will, I don't won't to be by myself!" protested Emily
"Because the bus that Layla goes on is only suitable for her year level, everyone year has their own bus and bus driver!" replied her mother, sternly.
"Yeah, and this year you'll have Ron, he's really nice" said Layla, gulping down her last bit of juice.
"Dad, back me up here, please can you write to the school and request that I go on the same bus as Layla!" pleaded Emily to her dad.
"I'm sorry Emily but your mother's right. Besides, I don't know much about the rules and regulations of Sky High as you mother does," replied her dad, looking apologetic.
"Besides, you have Holly with you, why are you worrying so much?"
Holly was Emily's best friend since pre-school. Holly had the gift of orbing objects into her hands whilst Emily had the gift of being telekinetic.
"I'm not worried, I just think I'm going to be lost on my first day, but I suppose Layla will show me around. End of conversation now, I need to finish breakfast"
There was a few minutes silence as Emily and Layla finished their breakfast. As Emily went to her room to fetch her things, she heard a knock on the door and knew that is was Will Stronghold, Layla's boyfriend. As Emily came downstairs ready to leave, her mother embraced her with a big hug.
"You take care Emily, you will enjoy Sky High" cried her mother, wiping back tears.
"I'll be alright mum, I need to say good bye to dad" grumbled Emily, struggling to free herself from her mother.
Emily walked over to her dad and gave him a hug goodbye.
"You look after your sister won't you Layla? And you Will? "
"Of course we will, ready Emily?" replied Will.
"We'll walk you to your bus before we have to go" said Layla.
"Okay then, bye mum, bye dad!"
Emily heard her parent's replies as she left the front door, walking beside Layla and Will. Emily turned around and said goodbye to Will and Layla as her bus to Sky High pulled up in front of her.
