Warren and I started toward the gym. I had perfected a glide across the floor that made me look like a ghost. When Elaine had joked last, she had the idea I should borrow some of Ice Queens clothes and scare the school. It was working. Kids were giving me creepy looks, but then again I was walking with Warren.
When we got to the gym, Noelle called out from across the gym, "Annalee and Eric went to go pick up food so we didn't have to eat cafeteria food. You guys want to go let them in?"
"Sure," I replied, "Can I get some ice for my knee later?"
Noelle's reply was to hurl a ball of ice at me. Warren caught it and then promptly threw it away.
"Cold?" I asked with a smile.
"Ugh, how can you stand to touch that stuff?" he asked holding the affected hand like he had just burned himself.
"Hmmmm, I see potential problems that could arise," Elaine chirped in as she was hanging streamers on the stage as a chickadee.
I picked up the ice and wrapped in a clean towel. As Warren and I left the gym heard someone muttering. I amplified it and I heard Coach Boom muttering about how all the Super Girls were going to be hero's. I looked to see here he was and spied him across the gym standing on the top of the bleachers watching my sisters.
"What are you looking at," Zack said as he and the rest of the gang came up.
"Glad you'll are here," I said ,"Coach Boom is in there watching my sisters and I would like it if there was someone else in there.
"Sure thing," Magenta said as they all headed in to help.
We caught Annalee and Eric at the door.
"Thanks for letting us in. Correta, you shouldn't carry anything." Annalee said as she handed some bags to Warren.
"It's my knee that hurts not my arms," I protested.
Eric shook his head and said," Then you shouldn't be standing at all."
"I'm not, see. I'm gliding," I said as I raised my skirt so they could see my feet.
They still didn't let me carry anything. When we got to the gym we gatered around to eat. Annalee and Eric had brought sushi. I handed Layla the California rolls, then dug in.
"What else needs done?" asked Ethan asked looking around.
The stage decorating was all done thanks to Noelle, Elaine, and Annalee's earlier efforts. Eric had set up all the sound equipment and the only thing left to do was tune our instruments and a sound check. After we were done eating we each tuned our instruments. Eric was showing Zack and Ethan how the soundboard worked, when I heard a sound. I stopped playing my up right bass for a second.
"Did you guys hear that?" I asked.
Everyone looked at me a listened for a moment.
"Nope," Magenta said in her your crazy voice.
"No, I'm sure I heard something," I said.
"You've been having problems with your powers," Beccah reminded me, "Are you sure you didn't just here something around the school. There are a lot of kids."
"What did you hear?" Warren asked.
"I… I don't know." I said," It was something that made me feel…I don't know. You guys, I think something bad is about to happen"
I was nearly in tears and I didn't know why.
"Maybe you should go lie down for a little while. You've had a bad time of it for the past few days. Maybe your just tired," Layla suggested.
I nodded because I didn't know what else to do. But the impeding sense of doom never left me.
