I slowly awoke to find twenty or so scared and disgusted faces gawking at me with Will, Layla, and Zach all looking extremely concerned as they stared down at me. I tried to sit up but decided against it as a splitting pain shot through my head blurring my vision to the point that I had to lay down again. But as I laid down I felt something cool hit my neck, and it wasn't the gym floor. I turned around to see a rather large puddle of blood gathered around the same area that my head had been. I reached around and proved what I had previously thought when I felt the dry blood in my hair and felt my skin closing around the large gash that was once possibly hemorrhaging blood from my scalp. I sat up again much slower this time and lifted myself up I took a few steps but collapsed I knew I was weak from healing myself but my god I'd never in all my life had it have this affect on my, but then again I had never had a head injury of this magnitude.

I sat on the floor felling absolutely helpless for five minutes shrugging off any attempt of help from anyone. Finally I stood up again trying to walk out the door walking out slowly until I felt someone grab I didn't really care who it was since it wasn't like I could see them anyway since my vision was so blurred. I let the person drag me along till we reached what looked like a deserted classroom I felt I the person reach over me and open the door and the stirred me inside neglecting along the way to turn the lights on. I leaned up against the wall and slid down it took a while to regain stable vision and for my eyes to adjust to the light, but when they did what I didn't believe what I found. I rubbed my eyes a little think that I was hullsinating but then continued to stare at Lash, who was sitting on a desk staring at me with amused look on his face. I tried to shrink into the corner afraid that he might do something to me since I was friends with Will and Layla, but he only laughed and shook his head.

"Relax; I'm not going to hurt you. Just wanted to get you out of there it was sickening the way everyone was looking at you like a freak. Not that I care or anything but just thought you wanted a place to recover your bearings and all." He said as walked across the room and looked out the window.

"Thanks Lash that was very considerate of you."

"Oh stop making it sound like I care. I just how it feels to have everyone look at you with fear or disgust and just hate you for what you did and not know who you are."

I looked at him with astonishment was he opening up to me. Naw this was Lash we are talking about even though I had only met him a few hours ago he seemed like a complete asswhole. But as I walked over to him something about his expression kinda told me to give him a chance. He looked so sad as he stood there looking out at the clouds that surrounded our school. Maybe Zach was right maybe his life was already a living hell, then why was he trying to bring us down with him? Who knows right, but all that I knew was that maybe the big bad evil Lash wasn't so bad and evil after all. I looked over at him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"You know, not everyone hates you Lash."

"Oh really, name one person and I'll believe you?"

"Well, I'm not afraid of you."

"But you barely know me."

"So, I believe in giving people a chance before I let other people tell me otherwise. I don't care what you've done in the past because that's what it is the past and I'm not going to try to dig it up and shove it in your face because I'm guessing that you've changed right?"

"Yeah I've changed, I've changed a lot. I'm not the person I was last year. I just wish people would see that."

"Then show them you've changed people won't know if you don't show them."

"Sure right and who can I do that? I'm not exactly mister popular."

"Well for starters no threatening people with destroying their lives because that doesn't help."

I laughed and tried to spin around to walk away a little too quickly forgetting that I was still recovering and I started to fall over almost hitting a desk. I shut my eyes preparing myself for the impacted only it never came. I slowly opened my eyes relived to find that Lash had caught me before I cracked my head open, again. But as he helped me up I fell over bringing Lash down with me. I rolled over from where I laid on the floor to look at Lash who was lying on the floor rubbing his head from where he hit it on the hard ground. I stared at him for a moment watching as he lay his head back how his shaggy brown hair fell off his face to reveal the smile that was slowly creeping onto his face. Soon we were both laughing at my clumsiness, but we had lost track of time and when the bell for lunch had rang we stopped laughing and looked at each other. I got up and dusted my self off and looked down at Lash who was still laying down staring at me.

"Well, maybe we should go to class."

"Yeah you can go ahead I think that I'll just stay here for a while."

"Okay, well thanks for everything Lash. I'll see you later right?"

"Right, wait a minute I don't think we ever got what class you were in did we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I kinda rushed you out of there I didn't stop and ask Boomer whether you made Hero or Sidekick so maybe we should go ask?"

"Shit, I totally forgot about that can you come with me?"

"Sure why not it's not like I'm going to class or anything."

I shook my head and started to with Lash trailing behind me I slowed my pace so he could catch up but when he did someone came running towards in a us and in that moment I was almost knocked over as Layla plowed into me pulling me into a friendly hug. Her face was filled with relief as she pulled me away asking all sorts of questions most of them wondering if Lash had hurt me I looked over my shoulder at Lash who stood there with a sad look on his face as he watched us walk away. I smiled at him as Layla pulled me further down the hall as if to silently say good bye he grinned at me before turning around and walking towards the place where we had just come from. I watched as he walked further and further down the hall until he disappeared in the crowd I turned around with a million things running through my head and as I was sorting them Layla interrupted my thoughts.

"Are you even listening to me?"

"Oh sorry what were you saying?"

"I was saying that after you left Coach Boomer put you in hero class isn't that great now you'll have classes with Will and Warren and you won't be all alone."

"Yeah that's great, but who's Warren?"

"Oh you'll meet him soon but right now why don't you go with Will to your first class." She said as Will appeared in front of us.

"Thank god your alright we were all worried about you. Lash isn't the type of person you want dragging you anywhere even if you can take care of yourself. I'm just warning you Suze the guy's bad news try not to get to close to him."

Then we started to walk to class a part of me wanted to tell Will that he was wrong about Lash and that he had changed. But I didn't instead I just walked with him listening to him go on about something not really caring wondering as we walked if I should've just stayed in the room with Lash and kept him company since that probably would've been way more fun than sitting in class listening to the teacher talk about some stupid hero that fell in love with a villain and how the hero risked all her friendships and her reputation just to show the world that he was good under his villain persona. But whatever right, this was Sky High so I guess that's what the curriculum included.
