AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry for the long wait. But I'm dealing with a lot of stuff now. I have huge ideas for this story and I'm sure it's unlike any other story. Please stay with it. Thank you for reading.
Kira's senses went to full throttle at the sound of three chatting girls. Their presence illuminated the stuffy washroom ; filling it with their over-used scent of expense perfume and loud booming voices. Kira peered carefully through the gap in between the two rigid stalls. She could see the three of them standing in front of the finger-printed mirror; fixing the fake imperfections that were blemished on their confident faces. Out of curiosity, Kira listened closely to their conversation while carefully seating herself comfortably on the sanitized toilet seat.
"Did you guys hear Penny is coming back?" One of the three girls with short, shiny blond hair said with a nasty tone as she fixed the misplaced strands of her hair.
"Penny? Ugh, that cheerleader. She was terrible, not letting ANYONE join the team," the girl beside her said as she applied a coat of glittering red blush to her flawless skin.
"Who's Penny?" the last girl said, equally as interested as Kira.
She was obviously new to the clique and once again like Kira, clueless to the current topic that was being discussed among the girls.
"She's a superhero, like us. Anyway, you heard about the whole Royal Pain incident right?" the short, blond hair girl explained, obviously the leader of the trio.
The clueless girl shook her head, which emitted a growl from the leader, whose name still remained unknown
"My god, do you know anything? Whatever, Royal Pain, who was like totally not who we all like thought she was. Ugh, Gwen Grayson. Anyway, Penny and a few other people like wanted to take over the school to make it like some super villain school or whatever. Anyway skip the details, they got caught ,went to trial, blah blah blah and now she's getting sent back here," the girl said dragging on as she applied a shiny coat of skin colored lip gloss.
"Still can't believe she's coming back-"
Kira couldn't help but mentally ask for the details but brushed off the thought of opening the door and demanding answers. Her legs that were placed underneath her were slowly hurting; each muscle tighten until she was on the verge of crying out. She thought of exiting the stall and walking out but then her ears perked up at a familiar name.
"If Lash and Speed can come back, Penny can sure come back"
Kira shifted uncomfortable at the name of her two friends, well former friends.
"Lash and Speed? Aren't they like the bullies of the school?" the clueless girl asked once again emitting a growl from the short, blond hair girl.
"Yes, my god, we need an emergency sleepover immediately. I mean you know nothing. Anyway, Lash and Speed were involved with the Royal Pain incident but they got off the hook. For reasons no one knows but whatever," the leader said before snapping her fingers and leaving the washroom with the two trailing behind.
Kira breathed deeply and leaned against the stall. For some reason she now felt betrayed. She slowly calmed her breathing and sorted out her now jumbled thoughts. She exited the bathroom and silently re analyzed the previous conversation as she walked down the hall.
Though school was currently in session, the halls still seemed unusually quiet when Kira pattered down the white linoleum floors. Without reason, she started to make her way towards the nurses office where Lash was suppose to be sleeping. Even if he was seriously injured, everyone thought it was best, if he continue to stay under the care of Nurse Spex because of certain precautions.
Kira sighed solemnly as her heart began to beat faster. Her feet slowed down as she neared the open doorway. She could faintly hear a soft buzzing from the room, but paid no unusual attention to it.
"Lash?" she quietly called but found silence that replied to her.
No one was in the room, not even Nurse Spex, which was slightly unusual. The disheveled sheets that were lazily sprawled onto the hospital bed was a sure sign that someone had just gotten up. The fresh stain of blood that trailed the floor possibly could have been from Lash, indicating that he had gone up and left the room with difficulties. Kira felt a rush of thoughts and fears rush into her head, at the different possibilities and dangers Lash could currently be in.
She quickly ran out the door and down the hallway. The sound of harsh words and grunting caught her attention causing her to turn right. At the sight of Lash and Asher, her new bodyguard, she screeched to a halt and hid behind a row of lockers.
"Stay the hell away from her, okay?" Kira heard Lash growl under his breath.
"That's hard seeing as how I have to protect her"
At the sound of Asher's sentence, she instantly knew that the conversation revolved around her.
"Look, this isn't over. You are not to initiate the mission until ..."
Kira listened closely, curious as to what happened but before Lash could finish his sentence he collapsed to the ground, clutching his body in pain.
