Chapter Ten: Unclear Memories
Carmen stepped off the bus and breathed in the fresh air, a bright sunshine smile on her face. Strands of dark brown hair fell limply in front of her eyes. She waved at her friends then ran after them, her sneakers smacking on the cement.
" Hey guys", she greeted and walked next to Magenta. Students crowded the halls as they walked into Sky High. Carmen smiled once more. The feeling of being in Sky High actually made her happy. Well, that's a first. It's like saying a teenager enjoys going to school. Yeah, right.
Magenta and Carmen waved goodbye and started walking down the hallway toward their lockers; the usual routine. To Carmen, her and Megenta hadn't exactly become the closest of friends. Frankly it seemed she could only open up to Layla, especially after the incident with Gwen and Will. But there was something else. She knew there was something she was keeping from Magenta, Layla and the others, but she wasn't excatly sure what it was. Well, whatever it was, it's gone, Carmen thought. But still, she could feel something tugging at the back of her mind, something important. Carmen shook her head. It probably isn't important. But as she considered that idea, it seemed as if she was just trying to convince herself.
" Um...Carmen? Are you okay?" Magenta asked, raising an eyebrow at her. Carmen blinked, then smiled at Magenta.
" Of course. Why, was I zoning out? Because if I was, I do that a lot", Carmen replyed.
" Yeah, you were", Magenta said, letting out a hearty laugh. Carmen waved to Magenta as when she stopped near her locker. Magenta has been very happy lately, which was a big deal seeing as Carmen usually saw her with a somewhat of a scowl on her face. That's what made it hard for Carmen to get close to her -meaning Magenta's shell that was tightly wraped around her heart. But, nonetheless, they remained loyal friends on good terms.
Carmen pulled out her books from her locker then slammed it shut. The noise rang through her ears and vibrated into her head, causing a painful jolt to erupt through her brain. She gripped her books harder to her side and shook her head. A few students stopped and watched before quickly walking away. Carmen inhaled a bunch of air, then exhaled, her eyes closed. Were sudden jolts of severe pain going in your head normal for super beings? Maybe it was just her powers building up to more evolved states, or the noise from the locker. She shook her head once more, then walked hurridly down the hall.
The bell rang when she reached her first period class and met up with Layla, Will and Ethan, who entered Mr.Medulla's Hero Class. Soon after the all the class had entered, Mr.Medulla began to take order to everyone's prescence. Aftter awhile Mr.Medulla finally called a name that awoke Carmen from her daydreaming.
" Michael Smith?" Mr.Medulla called out. After no reply, he looked up curiously from his clip board. It wasn't odd for a student to miss a day of school, but for a new student...Missing the second day of school was slightly weird. Carmen shook her head as another feeling sped through her brain.
Mr.Medulla sighed then proceeded to call role. Carmen started drawing on the back of her paper notebook, tiredness already taking form in her eyes. As Mr.Medulla bagan his lesson on hovering automobiles, Ethan quickly began writing down notes. Usually she would have been frantically writing down notes, but today, her head was spinning with to many painful feelings. She could already see the birds flying in circles over her head.

Carmen walked with Ethan, Layla, and Will as they made their way down the hall toward the cafeteria. Students also walked quickly toward the cafeteria, some even running. Two periods and she was already beginning to hear the hungry moans from her stomach.
As they were walking Carmen began to hear the sound of something being slammed into a locker. She turned curiosly as they passed a hall. Some students began to walk hurridly away from something, while others acted as if nothing was wrong. Her, and the others, stopped at the sound of a familiar voice.
" Just leave him alone!" a girl yelled angrily.
Carmen recognized that voice as Magenta's. Quickly, they ran back toward the hall they passed and ran down the hall. Students walked by or were either leaning against lockers chatting aimlessly as if the scene unfolding was normal, but sadly, it was. Ethan was struggling against Lash's grip on him before he finally gave in, and was shoved into his locker. Magenta could only watch and shout and glare angrily at Lash with a menacing stare. Lash simply ignored her. It wasn't unusual for him, or his old companion, Speed, to leave the girls out of his bullying. Who knew bullies could be gentlemen...
" Lash. Leave him alone", Wll warned. It seemed Lash had a new friend to create the duo him and Speed shared as the menacing, mean and gritty pair at Sky High who tortured the " Hero Support", out of pure, undying prejudice. This new bullying friend, was none other than Andrew Kyros, an irogant boy who was far from a heavenly angel. He had the ability to teleport in far leaps.
" You and what army?" Andrew challenged, teleporting closer to Will, thus demonstarting his power. He seemed to only consider Will as the threat, completely ignoring the rest of them. Carmen rolled her eyes. No different than Speed, she thought.
" This army", a low voice said. Warren walked up from behind them, a look of annoyance on his face. Andrew stepped back, the determination on his face slightly fading. Carmen turned from them and glanced at Lash. He was staring at her strangely with curios eyes. She blinked then turned away. Yet again, a feeling pulsed through her head, but she quickly shrugged it off. I'm probably coming down with something, she thought.
" Yeah", Zach joined in," This army." Carmen smiled at his bravery. Lash gave her one last glance, then turned around and walked away. Andrew hesistated, then ran after him, digging his hands in his pockets.
" We totally showed them!" Zac exclamied, bringing his hand up to Warren to give him a high-five but Warren didn't return the gesture. Will and Layla helped Ethan out of the locker.
" Thanks guys", Ethan said, brushing himself off.
They started toward the cafeteria, laughing(all except Warren), as Zach imitated Andrew's frightened face when Warren came. Carmen laughed along wih them, but she still couldn't shake the feeling in her head. She knew something, but couldn't bring it up. It was not only a pain, but it was really starting to worry her. Maybe she when she got home she could ask her mom. Mom knew everything...sometimes...
" You okay?" someone asked her. She looked up to see Warren staring strangley at her. Then she realized she had slowed down as she began to get deep in thought. She smiled and nodded. Well, it seems everyone has been staring at me strangely. I'll probably be ending up in the loony bin sooner or later...

Carmen stepped off the bus and walked, with her messenger bag slung on her shoulder, toward her front door. Sky High was beginning to be a serious problem in her life. All this hero, sidekick, bullying, lost memories stuff was starting to take a toll on her brain. It was most likely that she would need therapy soon, ALONG with the loony bin idea.
She opened the door and stepped inside backward, shut the door then turned around. Her eyes seemed to loose focus. Her messenger bag slid from her shoulder and fell onto the floor with a small thud. A look of horror and shock was in her eyes while her mouth was slightly open.
" Oh, my God..."
