Chapter 10
"Dude, you made sidekick history!" Zach remarked.
"Aw, I don't know about that;" Will replied.
The teens were congratulating Will on stopping Warren Peace yesterday.
"No, seriously. From now on, people mess with us at their own peril." Ethan insisted.
"You're breaking down barriers, proving we're not heroes and sidekicks." Layla pointed out.
"We're just people,"
"Super people," Ethan added.
The bell rings.
"Seats please," said Mr. Boy. He enters the room.
The students sat down.
"We have a lot to cover this morning, starting with motorcycle sidecar basics."
"Uh, except for you Mr. Stronghold." Mr. Boy said to Will.
Will looked a little confused.
"Would you gather your gear and come up here, please?"
"I've got your new class schedule;" Mr. Boy informed.
Will gets up.
"Congratulations, you've been transferred to Hero class."
Will takes his Hero class schedule.
"Oh and by the way, if you should find yourself needing any hero support;"
Mr. Boy disappears and came back up, dressed in his uniform.
"I still do a little freelance, ha!"
Will suddenly felt depressed. He had gotten used to his hero support class and being with his friends, now he had to go. True, Will finally got his powers and he'll be with Bella; but was this all worth it?
"But what about them?" Will asked.
"We'll see you on the bus," Ethan assured.
"We'll hang at lunch," Zach interjected.
"Right after you've dunked Ethan's head in the toilet." Magenta added dryly.
Mr. Boy sighed.
"Well, you best not be late." He advised.
Will reluctantly starts to leave. He looked back at his friends.
"Just go already," Layla insisted, smiling.
Will smiles and left.
He walks down the hallway, heading for Mr. Medulla's classroom.
Appearing in the doorway, Will knocks on the side of the door.
Medulla faced him.
"Yes?" He asks. "They told me you were coming,"
"Unfortunately, all the lab partners are taken." Medulla informed.
"I suppose I could pair you with my teaching assistant;"
He turns to Gwen.
"Miss Grayson, my apologies,"
Gwen smiles at Will, who hesitated.
"Come on!" Medulla advised. "Quickly, quickly,"
Will enters the room.
"Feet, you stepped on my foot!"
Few minutes later, Will worked with Gwen on making a ray.
Will finished assembling the ray.
"OK, how's that?" He asked Gwen.
"Perfect…if you're building a heat ray." She replied.
"You're supposed to be building a freeze ray," Gwen pointed out.
"OK, I have no idea what I'm doing;" Will admitted, flushed.
"Dreadful technique!"
Gwen and Will looked up to see Medulla critiquing a student's ray.
"You've confused rays with beams, D!" He exclaimed.
"Minus! I'd give you an F, but that would only mean having to see you in summer school."
While Medulla was talking, Gwen used her powers to assemble a freeze ray together.
Medulla approaches Gwen and Will's table.
"And what we have here?" He inquired.
"Uh…" Will started to say.
"Well, I don't know. I didn't do it,"
"You're far too modest, Mr. Stronghold;" Medulla responded, as Gwen handed him the device.
The bulbous headed man freezes one of the students.
He faced Will.
"Or perhaps not enough," said Medulla.
"Miss Grayson, in the future please allow students to succeed, or fail, on their own." He firmly suggested after handing Will the weapon.
Medulla walks away.
Will faced Gwen.
"How did you do it?" He asks.
"I'm a Techno path," The brunette answered.
"I can control technology with my mind,"
"Wow, all I can do is punch stuff;"
Gwen chuckled.
"Yet he'll be the one on cereal boxes," Medulla commented, walking by. "Show me the justice in that,"
He walks away.
"That was amazing," Will remarked.
"So, is what you did in the cafeteria," Gwen replied.
"Yeah, once they start handing out grades for destruction of school property, I'll be in good shape." Will joked.
Gwen laughed a bit.
"You know, I can totally help you out with all this science stuff." She offered.
"Yeah, you'd do that?" Will asked.
Gwen nodded.
"I could be like, your…private tutor."
"Cool," said Will.
During lunch, Will and Bella sat with Gwen, Penny, and the other kids.
Will tried to have his friends sit with him but Penny's clones took up space.
Even Bella felt a pang of sympathy.
"No offense Will and Bella, we are not running a loser outreach program. OK?" Penny asked.
Her clones laughed.
The twins looked a bit offended by what Penny said, but they didn't show it.
"I'm sorry," Gwen apologized. "Penny can be a little…full of herself sometimes."
The brother and sister smiled a bit. When they saw Warren, they looked away.
After lunch, Will joined Layla at her locker.
"Layla, what's up?" He asked.
"Hey, you smell nice;"
Layla opens her locker.
"Tecomaria capensis, honeysuckle?" She asks.
Will exhaled.
"Listen, about lunch…"
"What about it?" Layla questioned.
"At the table, Penny was being…"
"Please, not a big deal." Layla denied.
"No, it is and…I feel bad; so, does Bella. But let me make it up to you." Will offered.
"Maybe tonight we can go to the Paper Lantern?"
"But you hate Chinese food," The ginger haired girl pointed out.
"But you don't," said Will.
Layla smiled a bit.
"Paper Lantern, 8:00;" She said.
Suddenly, Ethan appeared.
"Will!" He called.
A long arm stretched out and grabbed him.
Will and Layla hurried over to see Lash and Speed shoving Ethan inside a locker along with Zach.
Will walks up.
"Whoa, whoa, hey!"
"Come on buddy, easy guys." Will helps Ethan.
"Thanks, Will;" said Ethan.
"All right,"
Speed and Lash stood in front of the locker.
"You okay?" Layla asks Ethan.
"Yeah, thanks," Ethan replied.
"Zach too," said Will.
Speed and Lash reluctantly opened the locker and released Zach.
The blonde gets out.
"Not so tough when my boy's around are you?" He retorted.
Speed glared at him.
"You just think you're so big and bad, huh Stronghold?" Lash demanded.
"No, I-I don't;" Will denied.
"Please!" Ethan scoffed. "Will would totally take you,"
"You saw what happened to Warren?" Zach asked. "You want a piece of that?"
"Watch it, Stronghold. That big mouth is gonna get you in trouble." Speed warned.
"I didn't say anything," Will protested.
"Why not settle this in P.E.?" Lash questioned.
"What?" Will asked.
"You're on," said Ethan. "If Will beats you in Save the Citizen, lay off sidekicks for the year."
"And if he loses, you can dunk Ethan in the toilet every day till graduation." Zach interjected.
"Yeah," Ethan agreed. "Huh?"
"You got yourself a deal," said Lash.
As he and Speed walked away, Bella approaches the group.
"What just happened?" She asked.
"I'm going to be in Save the Citizen," Will responded.
"What?" Bella asked, surprised. "Are you serious?"
"Obviously," said Zach.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Bella questioned.
"Prevent Lash from dunking Ethan's head I guess," Will replied.
Bella sighed. "Good luck with that,"
A/N: Okay folks, coming up in the next chapter is Save the Citizen. More soon!
