Warren had gone almost the whole day, and still he hadn't seen the mysterious girl that was on the bus; and it was starting to get on his nerves.
Why do I care so much? He had asked himself all day.
But when lunch time came around he still found himself looking for the blond headed girl.
"Dude, Batman would win no doubt." Zach stated.
"No way Buffy the Vampire Slayer would so kick his butt." Will fought back.
As usual Zach and Will were arguing over who would beat who in a fight.
"Layla, who do you think would win?" Will asked his girlfriend who was sitting on his right side.
"Oh no, you are not bringing me into another one of your arguments; I learned my lesson the last time."
"Fine, Warren who do you think would win?" Will asked his oblivious friend.
Warren was just too distracted to care, he was on a mission.
"Dude, what are you looking for?" Zach asked.
"Nothing." He spat still looking around the cafeteria.
"No; you're definitely looking for something." Will stated, starting to look where Warren was looking.
"It's nothing; will you guys just drop it?" A more serious Warren pleaded.
"Come on guys leave him alone." Layla scolded them.
Warren turned to Layla and thanked her with his eyes, and she just winked at him.
"Have you guys heard?" Wondered Magenta as she came up to the table with Ethan at her side.
"Heard what?" Will asked.
Magenta leaned into the table so only they heard her.
"One of the new students is a copier."
"What's that?" Warren asked with a confused look on his face.
"You've never heard of a copier?" Ethan was absolutely shocked. There hadn't been one person that he knew that didn't know what a copier was. But then again he didn't know a lot of people.
"No, I actually have a life." Warren rolled his eyes while taking a bite out of his hamburger.
"How can you eat that knowing where it came from?" Layla asked eying the hamburger in Warren's hands disgustingly.
"I'm hungry, and besides I'm not the one who killed it."
"I know but still…."
"Will you guys focus?" Ethan yelled.
"Sorry." Warren said not really meaning it.
"A copier is someone who has the ability to create a replica or to copy someone else's power for their self. There haven't been a lot of cases of a copier reported for awhile, and the ones that are still alive either are or become later on in life evil," he said taking a deep breath,
"That's probably why everyone is talking about the new copier, there has only been one case of a copier actually becoming a hero. That was fifty years ago though they either are retired or dead now."
"Fascinating, so who's the copier?" Zach asked not really caring about Ethan's story, it's nothing he hadn't heard before.
"That's her over there." Everyone turned to where Magenta was pointing at a table with just a girl at it.
Warren was shocked though to see the girl that he had been searching for all day was actually the girl that everyone was talking about.
Clarity's POV
You know what's sad? It was only the first day of school and officially everyone knew who I was.
I guess it really is true about what people say about news traveling fast.
Ugh, can this day get any worse? I wondered.
"Hey there gorgeous; names Lash, we ride the same bus together."
I stand corrected.
I looked up from my tray to find a tall, lanky, brunette smirking at me.
"So what's your name?" He asked, but I just stared at him.
I've heard his name before. Thinking where it could have been from.
"What, do you talk?"
"Of course I talk." I snapped.
"Okay than, what's your name?"
"Clarity, why?"
I was curious; no one had talked to me all day, and now the first person who had was getting on my nerves.
"Well I do like to know all of my future girlfriend's names before I date them." He said still smirking.
Wow cocky much? I thought.
Then I realized where I had heard his name.
"Wait, aren't you one of the villains that teamed up with Royal Pain to turn everyone into babies?"
"Yeah that was my buddy Speed and me, why you impressed?"
For a second it looked like I was really thinking about it then I answered "No not really, I've heard of better."
That hit the spot. The grin that I thought he had plastered to his face was quickly gone, and replaced with a frown.
"I thought for sure that they would have kept you out of school for that." I continued.
And as quickly as it was gone the grin had reattached itself back on to his face.
"You can't keep me out of school gorgeous." He said.
"Don't ever call me that, and you know what I think," I was really getting tired of this guy,
"I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, that school was the only option you had, it was either that or solitary confinement…"
"How did you know about that?" He asked.
"You know you really shouldn't think so much; someone might be listening," I smirked, "It must have been really hard begging Principal Powers to let you back in right? I bet you wouldn't want anyone to know that huh? How Mr. Big Bad Bully begged his back into school! Don't worry I won't tell anyone…yet"
"Why you little..." Lash yelling and starting to get up.
"Leave her alone Lash." A deep voice from behind me said.
"Stay out of this Peace." Lash said through his teeth.
"No, not until you leave her alone." Now the man was in front of me facing Lash, and boy was he gorgeous.
Wait, I've seen him before. Then I remembered that I had seen him at the bus stop that morning. But I didn't really get a good look at him until that very minute.
"What you gonna do, burn me to death?" Lash said, "Then you would be just like your father, actually you would be worse than your father."
"Don't you dare talk about my father." The mystery man stated, then igniting flames in each of his hands.
So that's his power…hmm interesting. I thought.
"Is there a problem here?" Boomer appeared.
"No sir we're just umm…arguing over which fruit is better apples, or bananas; what do you think?" I asked holding up and apple and a banana I stole from Lash's tray.
Lash and Boomer just looked at me like I was crazy, but mystery man was the only one smiling at me.
"Is this true Hothead?" Boomer asked turning to the man next to him.
"Yes sir."
"It better be; and if I have to come over here again you are all getting detention, even you Copycat." He said leaving the table.
It looks like he got over his fear of me, wow that was fast; and I even got a nickname, YAY ME!! I congratulated myself with sarcasam.
"This isn't over Peace." Lash glaring at Mr. Gorgeous, then turning to me, "See ya around."
After Lash had left I was about to say something to my hero, but the bell had wrung, and he unfortunately had disappeared.
I am such an idiot. Warren thought to himself. You look for her all day, and when you finally have the chance to talk to her you chicken out and run away!
As Warren walked to his locker to pick up his bag and a book he wanted to read when he got bored, all he could do is replay in his head what had happened at lunch.
He couldn't believe that he had gotten caught almost getting into a fight with Lash by Boomer, and then the girl he had been looking for bailed him out, and he just walked away.
So he shut his locker and headed to his heroes science class with Mr. Medulla.
When he got there he sat in the way back where he knew no one would bug him, and laid his head down on the table.
A few minutes later he heard footsteps coming near him.
"Is this seat taken?" Recognizing the voice, Warren looked up into the mismatched eyes of the girl he had just runaway from a few minutes earlier.
Hey sorry it took me so long to get the second chapter up. Thank you so much for the reviews, and I really hoped you're liking the story so far. D
