When I reached my locker the first thing Dustin cried out was:
"Hey cool your locker is exactly one locker away from mine. What are the odds?"
"One in a lot?"
"Ha you my friend, are funny. I must keep you close." Dustin leaned over, cupping the side of his mouth and in a loud whisper said, "Trust me, Sam is a bore."
"Well thanks for the warning, there C.C.K."
"Anyway what's your first class, I will walk you there."
"It's science with Mr. Medulla."
"Same here." he said as he slammed his locker close, "ready?"
"So what other class you have? I mean other than science and gym?"
"Well I got English and history. But what I don't get is; how is 'Hero English' different than 'Normal English'?"
"In Hero English you learn about catch phrases and other than that the two are the same."
We talked about class and school stuff mostly on our way to class; we couldn't really get into anything else because the walk was only so long. In class I sat beside Dustin only because his lab partner wasn't there and I was lonely. I tried to concentrate on science but his kept drawing me little doodles of Godzilla eating Japan.
The rest of the morning went uneventful. At lunch, instead of eating outside I ate with Dustin and this gang. Dustin felt the need to point and tell who and what people of Sky High were.
"See those chicks are the cheerleaders, mostly have weird athlete abilities. There're really annoying, hot but annoying.
That group over there is Will's group, I don't have a name for them yet but 'Will's group' will do fine- for now."
"What's so special about them?" I asked. "There mostly sidekick, but they don't like being called that, the proper term is 'Hero Support'.
The boy who wears red white and blue all the time is Will Stronghold he got super strength ad fight and the girl beside is his girlfriend; Layla Williams, she can control plants, there're the only heroes there.
The yellow guy is Zach Braun; he glows."
Seeing my raised eyebrow he shrugged in response.
"Don't ask, there powers are weird, I mean, worst than the freaky deakies over there." He pointed to some gloomy Goth kids.
"The orange guy melts into an orange goop, his name is Ethan Daniels and that purple girl- Magenta -- can shape shift… into a purple guinea pig."
"Yea I think I sit behind the green girl in history."
After a very informative lunch and my second went by quickly mostly because every one did their homework and Mr. Kinners was in a good mood, ...I think?
I was in a good mood; there was a spring in my step, I had some new amazing friends and classes are a breeze.
"Ready for gym, partner?" Happy mood gone now…
"Gym?"
"Don't act like you don't know. Don't worry just do as I tell you and you really wont have to do a thing." He said so calmly.
In the gym, it was crowded, so much more crowded than yesterday. People who don't even have this class are here to see me get plummeted.
All the rules Dustin told me previously were running through my head. Run, doge and grab doll.
At the bottom of the stands near the door, Dustin handed me what looked like football shoulder pads, chest pads, thigh and shin pads and gloves with pads on those!
"Is this really all necessary?" the look I received scared me, his face almost said to me 'we will be lucky if we get out in one piece' or 'the school want us to wear more protective gear than this…'
I preferred the latter.
