Trying numbness, instead of pain
Your humor makes me, makes me nauseous
what a twisted, twisted, twisted game.

Buddy was sitting on the couch. There was nothing interesting on the television. He glanced at the door at Violet's room. She hasn't been out since she came yesterday afternoon. Pathetic. Girls, Buddy thought. No, supers.
He closed the television and walked towards his room. But then he wanted to watch her come out. Just for fun. He loves teasing her, pushing all her angry buttons.
He faked the door shutting from his room and hid in the kitchen, somewhere Violet won't exactly notice him. He counted to 20 until he heard her door creak open.
I knew it. he thought. Violet peeked and carefully walked towards the kitchen. Her footsteps were silent. She opened the fridge to grab something to eat.
"Hey."
Violet almost dropped the box of milk that she was holding but managed to catch it. "The hell?!"
She turned to see Buddy on the corner. "Are you going to give a heart attack?!" she snapped.
"Sorry. I figured the only way to talk to you is by surprising you." he put his hands in his pocket.
"We're not talking. And I'm going to my room." she said, grabbing a bread and stuffing it in her mouth as she motioned towards her room.
Buddy moved fast and blocked her way.
Violet was getting impatient. She took the bread off her mouth and put a hand on her waist. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Not letting you pass." he smirked. "C'mon. We have a lot to talk about."
"What? Do you want to talk about how you purposely tried to kill my family and kidnap my brother while you braid my hair?No." she said.
"Why are you here? At Lawton?" he asked, blocking her attempt to pass.
"Why do you even care?" she said. "No.. Why are you here?"
"Hey, don't pass the question."
Violet growled and made a shield hit him. Buddy dropped on the floor, cursing. "That was really mean." he muttered.
She ran towards her room and Buddy tried to catch her but she already slammed the door in his face.
She threw herself to the bed. Aha! Finally! Food, she grinned.
It was evening when Violet came out of her room again. And there was Buddy sitting on the couch, scribbling things on his sketch pad.
"Finally, Queen McGrumpy came out of her lair." he said. Violet glared at him. She opened the cupboard and tried to look for something to eat.
"The dinner's on the table." Buddy said, not removing his eyes on his sketchpad.
Violet looked at the food then at him. "What makes you think I'll eat that? Heaven knows, it might be poisoned."
"You do know that there's no point if I poison you, right? I have to get rid of the body and I hate that kind of work." he mumbled.
"See? Still evil." she said, sitting down and grabbing a fork.
"Oh for goodness sake. It's been two years, cut the crap." he replied.
Violet dropped the fork and swallowed what she was eating. "Cut the crap?! You almost killed my dad. You almost killed my family! And I don't even know why I'm staying here right with you!"
"You know the door's open. You can always leave."
"Shut the hell up!"
"You still haven't answered my question."
Violet looked at him. "What question?"
"Why are you here?" he said, looking at Violet with his bright blue eyes.
"None of your business." she snapped, looking at her meal.
"It's for SU, isn't it?"
"How the hell did you know?!" she gritted her teeth.
"Duh-uh. A mail came earlier. Since you were being a brat and locking up in your room for hours, I kept the mail." he said, throwing her the envelope.
Violet opened the mail and it was a reminder. It was her schedule for the semester.
"Looks like somebody's going to first class super school." Buddy grinned.
"I said.. none of your business." she glared. "Now.. answer mine. Why are you here?"
Buddy shrugged and looked down at his sketchpad. "NSA simply couldn't kill me off. They made a program where people like me were taught and use our knowledge on what they say 'greater good'. Pretty sucks."
"It's a school."
"It's like a rehabilation center, dofus. I'm too old for school."
"It's a school."
"Not a school. Are you even listening?"
"It's a school, Pine. Whatever you call it." she finished her meal and washed her plate.
Buddy watched her walk back to her room. "You're really not talking to me?"
"Not a chance."
"But you did. Earlier." he grinned.
"Shut up."
Violet laid on her bed staring at her phone. It was her family's photo. She decided not to tell about her father about Buddy. Because both of them would be screwed if she did. She'd be scolded why she picked this apartment with a murderer as a roommate. And Bob would probably kill Pine if he had a chance.
A lot of trouble indeed.
She closed her phone and put it on the night stand.
Few days later...
Violet could hear the electronic sound from her side. She opened her eyes to see the alarm clock blinking. It's 7:00. It's 7:00. Monday. It's the first day of school!
And she's late! She jumped off her bed and opened her closet. She ran towards the bathroom, ignoring Buddy's 'good morning, your highness' greeting.
After taking a quick bath she got dressed and grabbed a sandwich and ran towards the door.
"I'm late. I'm freaking late and its first day." she mumbled. She was struggling to get her bag in place and her books.
She got at school in time before the bell rang. Freshmen students were on the Northern Stage.
"Good morning, freshmen." a woman appeared on the platform. Violet knew who she was. Andromeda.
"You may have known me as Andromeda. But here you will address me as Prof. Wilson. I hope you understand all of that." her voice was stern and commanding.
"She's the one who stopped Street Blade from destroying the Eiffel Tower." a girl beside her whispered, which caught Violet's attention. "Sorry." she giggled.
She was a blonde girl, a little smaller than her, and was wearing braces. "Mary Antonette, by the way, Mary Antonette Dawn." she said. "I'm Megabolt's daughter."
"Really?" Violet smiled. The girl nodded and grinned. "Um, Violet Parr."
"Wait? Parr? You are Mr. Incredibles' daughter?" the girl gasped. Their attention was brought back to Prof. Wilson.
"Your program was designed to prepare for the future. The future of becoming a real super. A real hero. Your schedules, class and professors were already sent to you. I do hope you have already checked them. Remember, you are born to be a super... it's your choice how you will use that ability. Good morning and good luck." she left the platform and all the students started to walk to their respective classes.
"Hey. What class are you in?" Antonette asked.
Violet looked at her schedule. "Um.. Class A."
"Class A?! We're the same!" the girl squealed. Violet smiled. "Come on, Antonette. Let's go."
They were all seated when their professor came in. "I'm Professor Mckinley and I'm teaching you Powers 101 for today." he said as he wrote his name on the board.
A boy raised his hand. "Yes?"
"You're Tornado, right?"
"Yep. Indeed I am."
Violet noticed some of the other kids murmured 'awesome' and 'cool'.
"Okay. Out of topic, young man." he smiled. What Violet was amazed of was the number of super children, that's in the school. She thought when she was in high school that there might be only a few of them.
After the class, Violet and Antonette strolled around the university grounds. "I met a lot of supers lately too. But you do know the one I really want to meet." Antonette rambled.
"Who?" Violet asked.
"Jonah Armitage." she giggled. "He's the son of the famous Astral Star. And he's cute."
"Really?" Violet chuckled. "I haven't seen him before."
"Actually, he's there!" she almost shouted and Vi had to cover her mouth. "Where?"
"There, Vi." she pointed.
A boy almost the same as their age was walking few meters away from them. He has a blonde hair and green eyes. Beautiful green eyes. And did she mention a lovely cheekbone?
"He's half-british on his mother side. Isn't he charming?" Antonette smiled. She turned to Violet who looked really stunned.
"Vi?" she waved her hand on her face. "Earth to Violet Parr."
He's so handsome.
