Dangerously Paranoid Chapter 7: Mind my imagination
*Save the Citizen*
I watched as Warren and Will won again, the crowd cheered and Boomer called out their victory. Boomer questioned about their next opponents and I knew Will was going to pick me, this is my first Save The Citizen and Will already asked me to play at lunch. I of coarse said no, but I doubt thats going to stop him.
"Layla Williams and Ally Griffin." He said loudly. I know Layla hates violence but I can't do this by myself, I don't practice my power that often but I'm hoping I'll be able to do this. Layla and I met up in the Locker room putting on our gear, I'm so nervous.
"Are you going to be able to play?" I asked her.
"Yes, I don't believe in using my powers for violence but Will kind of talked me into the STC matches." She explained as we entered the arena.
"Alright, Hothead, Stronghold. 3 minutes and GO!" Bigmouth boomed and as soon as he did a fireball shot past my head. I took a sharp inhale of breath as one hit me square in the chest.
That jerk!
I wasn't ready! I whipped my hand up sending him flying backwords, take that Peace! I got up like nothing happened, I smirked. So this won't be that easy. He flew fireball after fireball and I tried my hardest to fling them to the side, one hit me on the shoulder but I shrugged it off and continued to dodge the fire being thrown at me. Layla was trying to wrap vines around Will but he kept breaking free with his super strength.
"Save the citizen!" Warren yelled at Will.
1 minute left.
Warren flew one last fireball at me and it landed on my thigh, giving me a bad burn. Layla's vines had Will by the ankle and he couldn't fly I was at the opposite end of the mulcher.
5,4,3,2
"Stronghold Give me a boost!" Warren said before he was sent flying toawrds the citizen.
*errrggggmmmm*
The buzzer went off, all I remember is a sharp pain of scraping my burnt leg off of that fake mail box, Warren Peace and the Dummy flying towards me, then rolling. I opened my eyes and stared into chocolate brown ones.
"Uhm," I muttered as he cleared his throat.
People started rushing in to congragulate the winning team, I got off of him quickly and akwardly clearing my throat as a huge blush flushed my cheeks,
"Heroes WIN!" Boomer yelled. "Griffin, go to the nurse and get her to take a look at those burns." Boomer said loudly. "Hothead! go with her and make sure she's alright."
"No!" We both yelled.
"I mean, I'm fine and perfectly capable of getting there myself." I explained.
"Go both of yous." He boomed frusterated.
"This is all your fault you know." I growled.
"How is this my fault?" He growled back.
"You have to have that stupid fire power of your's and go and burn my leg! Look, look at that! That isn't healing any time soon." I barked.
"It's not a stupid power, a stupid power is tossing around baseballs and pillows!" He said as we walked towards the nurses office.
"Nuh uh,"
"Oh don't start." He rolled his eyes which made me stick out my tongue.
"You're like a child." He smirked.
"and you're like an old man with no imagination." I said knocking on the door to Nurse Spex's office.
"Imagination is not required in the field of super heroism." He stated.
"No but imagination is a passageway to your dreams without having to close your eyes." I smiled triumphantly.
"Deep." He smiled back before the door opened and the wise old face of Nurse Spex smiled brightly at us.
"Oh dear, what happened. Come in, come in let's have a look at that leg." She said as we followed her in. I sat on the patient bed and Warren broodingly slouched against the wall.
"This cream will help it heal, it will take about two days but it will heal. Without it, it would take over two weeks for it to completely dissapear without any scars." She explained applying it to my leg then putting a bandage and a gaw around it.
"So I just put it on every time I change the bandage?" I asked.
"Yep, that's it." She smiled noticing Peace, she handed me a note for my next class.
"Hello Mr. Peace," she smiled before winking at me as I stood up. I furrowed my eyebrows before shaking my head with a smirk and walking towards the door.
"You should go easy on that leg until it heals." Peace said in a mumble as we walked to Medulla's class which we both had.
"I should, shouldn't I." I said in a 'duh' sort of way with a smirk.
"I'm serious." He growled.
"Why do you care anyway, Peace?" I asked getting my books from my locker, I knew we'd be a bit late.
"I'm just saying, you're quite reckless." He smirked.
"Am not." I said with my hands on my hips.
"Yesterday you hit your knee off the juice machine, which until then I was convinced was impossible." He said making me laugh, I knocked on the door to professor Medulla's classroom.
"Ahh yes Griffin and Peace come in, hurry hurry." Medulla's high pitch voice hurriedly commanded. I quickly rushed to the empty table in the back and Warren sauntered behind me.
"By the way, I've also hit my elbow off of a lamp." I said proud of my uncoordinated ways.
"Of coarse you did." He said shaking his head with a smirk.
"Today, we will be studying the human mind!" Medulla said as if it was the most interesting thing on earth. "Not to be confused with the human brain. The mind is a very complexe thing, it has many dimensions. It holds information, emotions, memories, ideas, opinions, secrets etc... and to tap into such a brilliant thing takes a brilliant mind." He said pulling down the map and revealing a long note on the mind of a human, the class groaned as he instructed us to copy the note.
*lunch*
"Yo Alls!" Zack said raising a fist for a fist pump, I smiled bumping my fist against his before we sat at our regular lunch table.
"Hey Ally." Ethan said with a smile as Layla joined the table.
"So how was the Math 101 test?" I asked Zack, he groaned and hit his head off the table.
"That bad huh?" I asked in a laugh. I pulled out a bright green apple and my book. I was currently reading The Silence of the Lambs. I've seen the movies but I haven't yet read the books.
"So where's Will?" I asked curiously.
"He has a cold." Layla sighed eating her salad.
"Poor kid." I said noticing a girl with strawberry blonde hair giving me a dirty look from across the cafeteria.
"Guys, who's that?" I asked glaring back at the girl. They all turned and then Zack quietly whispered.
"That's Camille Jensen."
"Queen B?" I asked, they all nodded.
"And why are you's so quiet all of a sudden?" I asked.
"Personally I hate her." Magenta said in her normally loud voice smirking and leaning back lazily. I knew Maj, and she's not the type to be nervous around a person of high stature in the social status.
"And why does she seem to hate me so much?" I asked.
"Not sure." Layla shrugged.
The rest of the day past by pretty quickly. I met up with Layla on the bus, we did our homework and I helped her with Biology, when our stop came we parted ways. I entered my house and as soon as I did I could hear a muffled whisper. I set down my bag and slowly crept towards the kitchen. Gramps was on the phone with someone.
"No! This needs to stay quiet, I can't bring her into this. If something happens to me she has to be here for Lindz." Was he talking about me? Where was he going? Was he planning something? Why would something happen to him. I quietly walked back towards the front door, opening it and then loudly closing it shut, giving the impression I just walked through the door.
"Gramps I'm home!" I called, I'm guessing he hung up because he yelled.
"Afternoon Allycat, how was your day?" He asked.
"Well I had an accident in Save The Citizen, I got an A plus on my essay on Teen superpower developpements." I explained, he smiled brightly.
"That's me gal, want somethin' to eat?" He asked, I nodded as he searched through the fridge.
"ALLISON!" I could hear my sister yell loudly, no one ever says my full name. Especially not her.
"Lindsay Ann!" I yelled back, she rushed down the stairs.
"Look! Look at what your big stupid dog did!" She growled holding up a white blouse covered in muddy paw prints. Duke wipped off his paws before coming into the house?
"Calm down, it's just a shirt." I smirked.
"Yeah, well you owe me a new one." She said.
"Right, I'll buy that the same day you get Grandma's locket fixed." I snarled walking upstairs. I noticed Duke laying on his blankets under the sun shining through the window. He's still resistant, he won't play fetch or eat dog food. He's strange and that's why I'm so interested in why he's so different.
I went to the bathroom to find my hairbrush, Lindsay always takes my stuff and never puts them back, I'd be fine if she took them and put them back but it really gets on my nerves when she leaves them around. I sighed before noticing something out the window, it was the side of the house facing the Stronghold's residence.
I noticed Will sitting with his knees to his chest on the lower roof. He didn't look too good. It looked like he needed company, so I walked downstairs and out into the yard, with a wave of my hand I moved the ladder that was on the ground onto the side of the house and easily climbed up.
"Hey." Will said with a tired smile.
"Sup Stronghold?" I asked sitting next to him.
"The cool air feels nice." He stated.
"You call this cool air? In New York we call this summer." I smirked, he let out a laugh and then made a face as if it was painful.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Sore throat." He replied in a wierd voice before coughing.
"Hey, hey don't give it to me." I scooted away pretendingly. We both laughed, the silence became nice. Not awkward, but peaceful. "I'll beat you at a game of C.O.D." I smirked.
He smiled standing up and then helping me up.
"You're on!"
