Chapter Two
Side-Effect
----- Krystal -----
I awoke around six that morning. It was about a fifteen minute walk to the bus stop, which I considered long, so I had to leave around 7:15-ish so I wasn't going to be late. The freshman bus always arrived at 7:30 at my bus stop. So I had about an hour to get ready for my second day at Sky High and get a quick breakfast in.
I slowly arose from my bed and looked around my room. The walls were a pale sky blue and they were completely bare. I wasn't much of the decoration-type. You could tell by my locker with only a few pictures, magnets, and the basic mirror. All the girl's lockers beside me were stuffed with strings and cute magnets and ribbons and such.
I tiredly walked over to my closet and started looking through it. After about five minutes, I decided on a denim skirt with pleats, a white tank top, and my favorite sky blue zip-up hoodie. I slowly pulled them on and pushed up the sleeves of my hoodie and left it un-zipped. I then walked into the bathroom, got my hair brushed and put it in two pigtails that hung by my ears, brushed my teeth, and…got my business done.
After that I slipped some sky blue flip-flops on and headed downstairs. Now, I was still getting use to my nine year old sister, Misty, and I living with my Aunt Katie and Uncle Joe. They were superheroes too…well, sidekicks. When I came home last night, they were really proud that I was put into hero class. I wasn't too ecstatic, I mean, my parents are superheroes.
Well, my Aunt Katie has the power to make people lose their voice…I guess, well, she can shut them up, but only for ten minutes or so. And my Uncle Joe? He can…well actually, I don't know what he can do. He's never told me and at the moment, I think Aunt Katie and Mom and Dad are the only ones that know. Of course, none of them have ever told me. All I know it that Uncle Joe's a sidekick.
So I walked downstairs and said, "Good morning Mom and Da-" Then I realized that I lived with my Aunt and Uncle now. Silly me, but I was still getting use to it, so give me a break! Aunt Katie and Aunt Joe looked up at me. They were both tall and lanky so Misty and weren't even close to looking like them since we were so tiny.
"Hey, Krystal, did you have a good night sleep?" Aunt Katie asked.
I nodded and grabbed a granola bar out of the cabinet. I peeled off the wrapper and took a bite out of it. I could hear Misty's video game in the living room. She was a video game fanatic since my Mom and Dad home schooled us, and now Aunt Katie and Uncle Joe was too.
I checked the round clock on the white wall of the kitchen, 6:50. Wow. Who knew a girl took forever to get ready for school? Well, I might as well leave now. I mean, what else do I have to do anyways? I grabbed my khaki messenger bag off of the couch which Misty was sitting on. I kissed her lightly on the forehead, which made her shriek. "Krys, you make me mess up!" I rolled my eyes.
"It's just a game." I told her. She rolled her big brown eyes and sighed.
I walked over to my Aunt Katie and Aunt Joe and kissed them both on the cheek and said goodbye. I hurried out the door and stepped into the warm sun. I heard that the official school year had started at the end of August. And now it was the beginning of September, so not much time had passed.
I slowly walked down the sidewalk. Only a few cars passed by, but my neighborhood that I lived in wasn't a very big one. I wasn't expecting traffic or something.
After about ten minutes, the bus stop was in clear view. There was a small bench for two and a sign that said BUS STOP in big red letters. I looked around. The whole block was entirely empty. Once again, I wasn't too shocked, but wasn't there another freshman from Sky High that lived here? Apparently not, but there was a sophomore.
I noticed a boy, a very familiar boy, sitting on the bench. I quickly went invisible as a quietly walked closer. I was glad I had this power, it meant I could snoop. I slowly walked closer, and tried not to breathe too loudly. He looked so familiar. Then, when I was about a foot away, he looked my way. I was about to scream and hide, but he quickly turned away. Once I saw his face, I recognized it right away. It was Warren Peace. I didn't know he lived around this part of Maxville…but of course, I didn't know if anyone else did.
A bus pulled up to the bus station. I quickly ran over and peered through the window. There was no sign of Zach or Magenta or Will…so this must have been the sophomore bus since everyone looked…older.
I turned back to where Warren had been sitting on the bench. He was gone. I looked through the window again and noticed he was climbing onto the bus. I don't know what came over me, but I quickly jumped onto the bus while I was still invisible. It was like a side-effect of my powers or something, because I wasn't controlling a single thing I was doing!
Well, I sort of was…I guess. I wanted to follow him, and suddenly, I was! I was sitting right there beside him in the aisle seat, staring at his dark eyes. I couldn't believe what was happening, but if I wanted to get off the bus, I would have to reappear. Perfect…
So the bus doors shut and I was stuck on the sophomore bus. If I could, I would activate my phasing power too so it was like no one was there. Too bad I had just gotten my powers about a month ago and I couldn't do it. I didn't think I could stay invisible too long as well.
So I saw there for about five minutes until the bus started heading for a dead end. I was so confused. This was my first time on a Sky High bus, I know, but it wasn't my first time on a bus. Why was it about to go off the edge of the road? The bus started going faster and faster. Seatbelts came from the back of the seat and a bar came down. Luckily, I was on the floor…sort of like hiding so neither the bar nor the seatbelts caught me. My skinniness and smallness came to an advantage. I slid right under the bars and into the seat. I was that small.
The bus suddenly jumped and was falling. I covered my mouth to keep me from screaming. But something hit me that made me yelp. I noticed a backpack on my lap. I looked at Warren. His eyes were wide. He swung his arm towards me which made me yelp again. I suddenly reappeared. My eyes were wide and so were his. CRAP!
