The next day was totally normal...up until lunch.
"Aren't you coming to lunch, Kris?" asked Yancy.
"I'll be there in a second, Yance," Kristel answered back. "Just have to grab something from my locker." That 'second' turned into about ten minutes. She was looking for her math book so she could work on some of her homework,but she couldn't find it. She finally found it behind one of her books. "Honestly, only the first day of school and I've already made a huge mess of my locker," she muttered to herself.
When she finally did enter the cafeteria, she found it was in major chaos. Fireballs were going every which way and people were crowded around in excited clusters.
Kris looked around only to find Yancy over by Will, Layla, Magenta, and Zach on the other side of the chaotic mess. She tried to cross but found herself faced with a fireball coming straight for her. She braced herself for impact but found herself being dragged out of the way by a striped arm.
"Thank you," she said when she was finally released. She looked around only to see Lash. Lash had a smug grin on his face. Before he could utter the words "Your welcome," Kristel demanded, "You started this, didn't you?"
"No," he said in an innocent voice.
"Right," she said totally unconvinced. "Tell it to somebody who cares." She started to walk off, but as an after thought walked back. "Ya know Lash, I might be more into you if you stopped hanging around with them," she said gessturing to Speed, Gwen, and Penny.
He gave her a look that said 'You've got to be kidding me' then muttered, "Yeah right," and turned away.
The gym settled down and Kristel was about to go see her friends before words surfaced in her mind. 'Homecoming...Royal Pain' Kristel also realized that the words were in a female voice.
"What the?" Kristel muttered to herself. That sounded like Gwen's voice. Kristel sighed and walked over to her friends to eat lunch.
Kristel's next class was with Mr. Boy. She was still a side-kick even though she had shown extreme power in PE the day before.
Principle Powers talked Sonic Boom into re-classifying her as a hero, but it seemed that Kristel could only use her powers when she was really upset or angry, so Kris stayed a sidekick. Boomer told her that she could become a hero once she figured out how to tap into her power sometime other then when she was upset or angry.
Short? Sure. But I didn't know what else to put. Oh well...I might get the next one or two up tonight...or maybe I should get back to work on Secrets in the Raging Flames? Anyway, R&R.
