Kylie

"Hey Kylie?" I turned my head towards my twin sister's before huffing when she didn't look at me. She's not the most talkative when she doesn't want to be, and for the most part I'm used to it, but it doesn't change the fact that I prefer to be looked at when someone's talking to me.

"Yeah?" I asked and I noticed that she glanced at me, but only for a second before she looked up at the ceiling of our shared bedroom.

"Why're we going to Highview? Like there are tons of other hero schools we can go to you know." I almost rolled my eyes at her question, she always finds a reason to ask things like that.

"Obviously it's the best hero school around."

"Oh." I got off my bed and walked over before standing in front of her. I could tell my answer didn't satisfy her and her furrowed eyebrows and thinking face proved me right.

"That's not a good enough answer for you?" I knew I asked a bit too aggressively when I saw her wince, but then she shook her head.

"No it's just... is it really necessary to go to the best school? There are tons of others and they help shape great heroes too? We don't have to be the best heroes either to help people." I grit my teeth together at her small rant before I couldn't hold back my scoff.

"Well maybe you don't want to go there but I do. I wanna be the absolute best hero I can be. I'm gonna be better than the best. I'm gonna do everything, save people, protect them, beat up villains, stop crimes, everything!" While I was talking I made sure to keep looking at Kiara, wanting her to understand how I feel, especially since she told me multiple times she wants to stay with me. How can she if she doesn't put everything she has into being the best hero too. By her expression it was hard to read her, especially since I felt like she was just staring at me, and although a part of me was annoyed since a minute went by without her saying anything, I also know that when she gets quiet she trying to get her thoughts and words together to say them as clearly as she can.

"Okay. You want to be the best and you want to be able to do everything?" She asked slowly, still staring at me.

"Yes, exactly."

"Alright. And maybe going to Highview is for the best. Maybe they can help you get your quirk in order." She added the comment slyly before turning around and changing her focus to something else. This time my eyes widened before I looked down at myself and noticed my hands were slightly glowing as if I was about to use my quirk.

It happens a lot more than I would like, especially when I get passionate or excited, and that also explains why Kiara kept staring at me, probably trying to make sure I didn't burn anything by accident again.

"You could've said something sooner!" I yelled at her before grabbing one of the cooling towels we keep in our room for when this happens. We keep at least two of them in each room of the house. All I got in response was a quiet hum from my twin before she stopped paying me any mind.

Kiara

After talking to Kylie I always find myself thinking over what we said. I get that she wants the best, but the next question I always have is, do I want that too? I can't help but look at the ceiling as if it'll either give me answers or at least calm my nerves. It never actually helps.

I sigh before getting up and going to leave the room. I took a quick glance at Kylie who had a cooling towel on her head and I realized she was staring at me so I looked back in front of me before going. I walked around the house looking for my older brother, he gave the best advice and always seemed to understand what we need no matter if it's a hug or a scolding. I wanted that right now.
