Chapter 12

The Evils of School

I woke up to someone lightly shaking me.

"Lea me lone."

I felt Warren's chest rumble as he chuckled.

"As comfortable as this is, I gotta pee."

I sat up and yawned while I stretched. Everyone but Kitty was up and looking at us curiously. I just shrugged and climbed off Warren's lap.

We all spent the rest of the weekend like nothing at all had changed and all to soon it was time for school to start again.

Monday morning Kitty and I got on the bus and Kitty pretty much claimed the back four seats. Along each stop part of our group got on. I ended up sitting in the very back, Kitty and Ethan were in front of me, Layla and Will were across the isle from me, and Maj and Zack were in front of them.

Warren was the last person on the bus and he sat beside me with a smile.

We got to school and slowly made our way inside. The bell rang and we went our separate ways. I was quiet for the most part not talking to anyone except for Layla, Maj, Ethan, and Zack throughout class.

It was almost time for lunch when Principle Powers voice came over the intercom.

"Jessica Stone please report to my office after the bell."

When the bell rang I walked into the principles office with a frown. I was worried wondering what I did but Principle Powers smiled at me when I came in.

"Aw Ms. Stone. It has been brought to my attention that you are working for Wu Peace at the Paper Lantern."

I nodded wondering what that had to do with school. The principle seemed to understand my confusion.

"Yes, well, Mrs. Peace has contacted us and requested that we reevaluate your power placement. Now, we will be watching you more closely and if we see any signs that you have been misplaced then you will be put into your proper class. I thought that you would like to be informed. Now head off to lunch your friends are probably waiting for you."

I nodded respectfully before leaving and heading to lunch. I walked into the cafeteria and saw that the others had already claimed a table.

It was the same table that they had been eating at last year before Kitty and I started hanging out with them.

With my friends all seated there was only one seat open. I headed over seeing that someone had already gotten me a tray.

I was almost to the table when Crystal Frost and her gang of followers walked over.

Crystal was the only ice manipulator and one of the most popular girls at Sky High. Last year her and Warren had met at the homecoming dance and they had went out for a while.

Warren had caught her cheating on him with an upper classmen and he had immediately dumped her. She had been trying to get him back ever sense and she mainly went about it by forcing herself on their table at lunch.

As I walked over I heard her talking to Warren.

"Do you mind if I sit there?"

Her voice was falsely sweet and she was even batting her eyelashes as she indicated the only open seat beside Warren.

He and everyone at the table were silently glaring at the blonde. She seemed to take that as an invitation and went to sit down when Warren saw me and got up pushing past his ex-girlfriend.

Everyone in the cafeteria was watching him now, wondering what he was doing. He walked up to me and flashed a quick grin.

"Hey Jesse, we saved you a seat."

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me right there in front of everyone.

Crystal was to shocked for words along with almost everyone else in the cafeteria. That is except for Kitty.

"Oh my god! Jess! How could you not tell me you two were together."

I pulled away from Warren and turned to smile at Kitty.

"Sorry Kitty. But I wasn't even aware until a minute ago. Warren really knows how to get a point across."

Kitty laughed and wrapped her arm through Ethan's

"Yeah he does. We got your food for you. So come sit down and tell us why you had to go to the principles office."

Warren grabbed my hand and lead me back to the table once again shoving past Crystal. I smiled at everyone as I sat down beside him and pulled my tray towards me.

"Mama Wu called Principle Powers and asked her to reevaluate my power placement."

Crystal let out an angry shriek before turning and leaving with her followers behind her. We all ignored them as the cafeteria once again filled with everyone talking.

The rest of the day was pretty boring until Save the Citizen.

I was sitting with the others at the top of the bleachers. When the game started. We watched commenting on what different people could do to improve. None us were called until Crystal and one of her groupies, a girl named Mien Lin who was the only other telepathic in the school, won their battle.

Crystal smirked when it was time for her to pick an opponent. She turned towards the part of the bleachers were we were sitting.

"I want Stone and her little Kitty."

I had to restrain Kitty from attacking her then and there. Kitty and I went and changed into the uniforms before entering the arena. I set up a telepathic link with Kitty before the match started.

If I'm linked with Kitty then I will feel if Mien Lin tried to enter her mind and more importantly I'll be able to kick her out.

You ready for this?

Hell yeah I'm going to kill that bitch. No one calls me Kitty but you.

No. You get Lin, Crystal's mine.

Okay fine, but get her good for me. I'll keep an eye on the timer, ten seconds I'll tell you so that you can win this for us.

Only if you can't do it yourself.

I smirked at Crystal as Boomer started to yell."Ready, Set, Save The Citizen!"

I kept an eye on Crystal, slowly heading to the right to distance her from Kitty. I felt Lin try to enter Kitty's mind, I shoved her out with a mental slap and Lin let out a short pained scream and grabbed her head.

To make it easier on me I entered Lin's mind. She tried to push me out but I was stronger and shredded all of her mental blocks. I find the center of her powers and put a block around it leaving her powerless. I drew out and turned my full attention to Crystal who was still looking at Lin in confusion.

Once I pulled out Lin turned towards Crystal with a horrified look.

"Stone's a telepath. She's stronger then I am, she blocked my powers!"

I used Crystal's distraction to my advantage and quickly slipped into her mind going straight to the center of her powers and blocking them. I left her mind before she even noticed that I had been there.

Crystal turned to me with a glare and went to do her signature move of sending icicles at people. However her powers wouldn't work. It clicked in her mind and she snarled at me.

"You bitch. Unlock my powers. Coach, Foul! She bound our powers. We're defenseless."

I rolled my eyes.

This is so not fun. Wanna just end it?

Yeah, I'm on it.

Kitty teleported grabbed the dummy then teleported again landing safely beside me. Coach took no notice.

"Stone. How did you bind their powers?"

I shrugged.

"I'm a class five triple threat. Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Empathy. Logan believes that I am stronger then Jean Gray ever was. You should really be more, patient, during power placement."

Everyone was shocked into silence staring at me. My friends choose that time to walk into the arena and surround me and Kitty. Warren pulled me to him kissing me in front of everyone as if to make sure everyone knew I was his. I indulged his possessiveness with a grin.
