Chapter 3: Shocking News

oOoOoOo

Kattianna followed Warren out of the gym, but not before she heard the rumors start.

"She just stood up to Warren Peace!" "He's one of the most powerful supers in school!" "He's best friends with the son of the Commander and Jetstream!" "I heard his mom was a superhero and his dad was a supervillan!"

She rolled her eyes as she heard Boomer call on another unfortunate. She stuck her hands in her pockets and walked with her head slightly down so her tawny hair partially hid her face.

oOoOoOo

Warren could practically hear the rumor mills starting. A freshman had stood up to the great and terrible Warren Peace. He slowed down so that she was walking beside him instead of behind him. "You can't avoid me forever."

Her head snapped up and she glared at him again. He noticed that she actually met his eyes. Very few in this school would do that. "What business is it of yours if I try!" she spat.

"Hey! Don't get snotty with me! I'm just being polite and curious about the only freshman I've seen with guts!" he said stopping in the middle of the hallway.

"Keep your curiousity! I probably won't be here long, and I'm NOT a freshman!" she snapped. "Are we going to Principal Powers' office or not?"

Warren reached out and grabbed her arm. "Yes we are, but first I want to know why you are acting like a cornered ally cat!"

She wrenched her arm away and her blue eyes flashed dangerously. "Not that it's any of your business, but I am not acting like a cornered ally cat!"

"Yes, you are. You're acting like everyone's out to get you! And if you aren't a freshman, what are you!"

"Again, that's none of YOUR business!" She stalked off down the hallway.

oOoOoOo

To think that insolent jerk was right would be betraying everything that she believed in. He was the best friend of her arch enemy! Well her father's anyway. Kattianna almost laughed. The jerk had acctually compared her to an ALLY CAT! Sure, she could change into one, but he didn't know that. He had walked in after her placement. Hadn't he? Why was she even thinking about him? After today she would be rid of him.

She looked up and saw him catching up with her. She had the strange impulse to let him, so she did.

He led her to a door just off the main entrance and knocked.

"Enter Ms. Haggar. Mr. Peace, you too," said the sweet voice of Principal Powers.

Warren looked puzzled, but turned the door knob and held it open for her to enter, and shut the door behind them. WAIT! Warren? Since when was she on a first name basis with Peace!

oOoOoOo

Warren stood holding the door open for Kattianna.

WAIT! Kattianna? Since when were they on a first name basis?

He expected her to glare at him, but nothing saved him from the venom in that look. Her face was still partually hidden by her hair, but her eyes burned holes into his head.

After she was inside, Warren shut the door behind himself and sat down in the seat left vacant.

"Now that we are all present, Kattianna, would you please demonstrate your power for me? I know Coach Boomer has already placed you as hero, but he thought you were a freshman," Ms. Powers said.

Warren glanced at the girlas she stood and began to shift. She started out by shifting into a very small kitten, then a full grown tabby cat. She moved to a lynx and then a cougar. She then shifted to a spotted leapord, a white tiger, and finally to a lioness. Once she was back into her own shape, she made a face at Warren.

oOoOoOo

'Way to go Katt! Real mature!' Katt thought to herself.

"Now, Ms. Haggar and Mr. Peace... I know that your fathers don't have a great... relationship.."

"That's an understatement..." muttered Katt.

"Well it's time to fix that. From now on... you will be living together in a dorm room here on campus."

The teens stared at their principal in shock.
