"In hell?" Bleach looked up at me, terrified. Now that we were standing I could really see how short she was. I'd heard her say on the bus that she was 4'9'', but I guess I didn't really get it. Heidi was the only one taller than me, at 5'7''. Iris and Nikki were 5'3'' and I was 5'5''.
"Everyone file into the mess hall, leave your bags," A voice was droning over the P.A. system. Kids were all flowing in one direction, towards the mess hall, I guess.
"Oh, God, look, there they are," Caramel grabbed my shoulder and pointed. In the crowd I could see Lash, Speed, Gwen, and Penny, all looking very tired with this whole thing.
I'd never really seen Lash at school. I think it's because I'm not a sidekick and I'm not an uber hot girl, so he has no reason to bother me. Hey, just because I never really saw him doesn't mean I don't know about his reputation.
"Wow," I whispered and Caramel nodded.
"There are sooo many copy-cat kids here," Iris joined us.
"Huh?" I looked over my shoulder at her.
"Teams of kids who tried taking over their school. Happened three times at my school after the Sky High incident," Iris rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"What school did you go to?" I pushed past a really short boy who shot me a glare that could kill.
"West View. Guess what direction we were always facing," She rolled her eyes again. "Caramel and Bleach went there too. Heidi says she's from Sky High, like you, and I dunno where Nikki's from. Maybe she was home schooled."
"So I hear you're one of those home schooled freaks," Caramel said to Nikki, who just laughed and disappeared into the crowd. Nikki looked after her like she was an idiot.
"Can they do that? Home school, I mean?" I laughed a little. We were inside and almost seated, and I noticed I had a perfect view of Lash's shoulder. OH, shut up, I think he's cute.
"Yeah, they can hire tutors to come in and teach," We both leaned to look at Nikki, who was puffing on another cigarette. She sat next to a window and hung her hand outside, so the smoke detectors wouldn't go off.
"Welcome," Oh no, who could it be? I looked to the front of the room and saw Principal Powers, standing at a podium. Behind her were several other people with poles up their asses, and I could only assume them to be principals of other schools.
"Many of you have heard your principal say 'We can teach you how to use your powers, but what you do with them is up to you.' Now we're trying to change that a little. We cant make you become a better citizen, but we can try it one last try. All the super-high-school's are funding this project, but you'll see very little of us. Let me introduce Robert, the head councilor," Principal Powers stepped aside to let a man in a bright blue polo shirt with a name tag come up to the podium.
"Hey, my name's Robert, but you can alll call me Bobby, Bob, Rob, Bert, whatever. Well I don't really know what to say other than what Principal Powers has said. You're here because you made some not-so-spectacular choirces in your life, and to try and help you choose a better life style. OH. I can also tell you about lodging. The cabins you'll see up on the hill are 12 people to a cabin. They'll be half boys, and half girls-"
At his last remark, the room exploded into whispers and people trying to gather a group, or boys scouting the crowd for the hottest girls, and vise versa.
"HEY!" Bobby magically had a megaphone and was shouting through it. When he had everyones attetnion again, he continued his speech, the megaphone dizzolving into nothing. Before I could pay attention to him again, Heidi tapped me on the shoulder.
"Our group is six, how lucky are we?!" She squealed and I faked enthusiasm to make her happy. But back to what Bert was saying.
"There will be six boys, six girls, two people to a bunk. The bunks will NOT be mixed, both beds must be occupied by someone of the same sex. There will be no sharing beds between anysexes. Anyone found sharing will be kicked out of camp and they will serve the rest of their sentence in jail. Now, onto the topic of electronics." Robert looked over his shoulder, and a short girl with a matching blue shirt walked up and stood behind the podium.
"Hiii, I'm Cami," She sheepishly waved at everyone. "Uhm, yeah. So you can only use your phones and iPods and whatever else you brought during freeeee time."
"At least we wont be totally cut off from the world," I hear Nikki say next to her window.
"So uhm," Cami went on, "Pick up a piece of paperrr, over there at the table? And write all your bunkers naaaames on it? Ready-set-go." Cami sat back down and kids all rushed, some used their powers to get ahead to the table.
