Welcomed
We had finally arrived to Sky High, the best super heroes' college of America, and I was powerless. While leaving the bus, Ron Wilson said loudly. – The bus waits for no one. Except for you, Will.
I nodded back to him and left the bus, side by side with my friends, Layla and Zach together with all the other kids. Looking at Sky High for the first time was outstanding. It was even bigger and greater than I had ever imagined.
All around us were kids like us, heroes with powers, fellow students. There were even some students that came literally flying to the school. It felt like home and despite my current powerless state, it felt like my home as well, like I belonged.
– I am so excited for the selection! – Zach says.
– I think the whole hierarchy between heroes and supporters is so archaic. – Layla replies.
– Sidekicks! – Zach says.
Oh, the whole heroes and sidekicks thing, the first test we have to go in the academy and the one that determines you life forever. Of course that there were a few exceptions, sidekicks that were promoted to heroes by their work but it was very rare since powers rarely evolved. But it was possible. I never gave it too much thought like Layla does, but I have always admired sidekicks by the work they do behind the lines of Justice. God, I could even become one. That is what my dad refers to as "Where the time comes", he excepts it to be during the test and so do I, although I highly doubt it.
– Look, fresh meet. – One guy says to the one next to him, blinking his eye while the other one laughs, disappearing. No, he didn't disappear, he was fast, superfast, something I could have ever imagined due to his overweight. And like that, we were trapped in a vortex when the other one starts to come, stretching his legs and arms. I start to feel a slightly difficulty in breeding, the air was running out of oxygen, and so were we. Looking around me, I see others falling to the ground but out of nowhere a light comes closer to us, turning in a lady.
– Lash, Speed, enough or you will be both grounded. – She says and they immediately stop, while everyone gasps for air.
– Sorry Principal Powers. – They say while leaving.
Then Principal Powers wait for us to recover and continues. – I am sorry for the welcome present you guys have but they like to welcome the newcomers. If it ever goes out of hand, don't hesitate in talking to me. Well, now follow me to the class selection test where you will be all given your part in the hero society. Coach Boomer can seem a little harsh at times, but he has a good judgment. – She says while taking us to the school Gym. – Now that I have welcomed you to the school, it is time for me to say goodbye. – And as she finishes saying that last word, she transforms back to a ball of shiny and pure white light, disappearing into to the campus. Then, the doors of the gym open.
