The Mutant Misfits meet their foe

Nicholas

You know what frustrates me to no end? The fact that people always compare me with my father. They judge me for who he was and for what he's done. They're scared of me and stay away from me because they think I'm like him. But they all seem to forget that my mother was a hero. That my mother helped defeat Katastrofeas (I refuse to call him my dad) and sacrificed her life so the rest could live.

I know it's not fair for me to feel this way but I always felt some sort of resentment towards Dorea, Laurin and Fatima. My mother died so that their parents could live. 

But I'm still grateful that they sat with me at lunch today. I was shocked to say the least, nobody has ever sat next to me ever since I started attending this school when I was 10 years old. 

For those who don't know how the school system works, it's basically a boarding school for mutant kids from ages 10 to 19. The superpower lessons are taught together, your age doesn't matter. But the normie lessons (which mutants are forced to do as well), so maths, science and English, they seperete us according to out age gourps. 

Once you turn 19 the school picks the most successful and promising students to join their intensive training pogram that lasts for 4 years. The ones who don't get picked... um r.i.p to them I guess... 

After that, well they go on missions, save people's lives and are basically the world's 'heroes'. When there are wars us mutants will always be on the front lines, protecting the normies. 

However, the normies still treat us like garbage even after all we do to keep them safe. I guess it's because a lot mutants are also evil and normies are weary of us. 

10 years ago, when the war ended, rich parents started paying a lot of money for their normie kids to attend this school for better protection. Now the school is divided in half, the normies and the mutants. Or the freaks as they like to call us. 

The division never really affected me because I 've never really been accepted by either sides, until today at least. 

I guess who my dad is and my power keeps people away. The truth is I can deactivate my power whenever I want, but I prefer to keep it on. I prefer being alone, and I like to be careful, in the end my dad and my powers might contribute to why I don't have friends but the real reason is me. I guess you could say I don't like human interaction. I like to keep everyone at arms length. 

I must say I did enjoy spending time with Fatima and the twins. They're actually really friendly, and Fatima doesn't hate mutants like the other normies, maybe that's because her dad is a mutant. 

Once lunch was over Fatima went to her boyfriend, I don't remember his name, and they walked together towards the maths block. Her boyfriend was tall and blonde, his skin was abnoramlly pink and his nose was upturned. He looked like Dudley from the Harry Potter books. No, that's offensive to Dudley. He reminded me of a pig, but that's also offensive to pigs so I honestly don't know to describe him. 

Getting back on track, I said goodbye to a very annoyed looking Fatima as her boyfriend pulled her away. Dorea, Laurin and I have the same class after this, power control. Even though they're in the year above me we share a lot of the same classes involving superpowers, so we walked together. 

It's a long walk to get to the arena. Our superpower lessons all take place in this huge arena outside. Well, there are multiple arenas but they are all in the same place. 

The arena is located in a field. It's huge and filled with a ton of weapons and dummies and other things. It's one of the only places in the school that I love. Apart from the shelter of my dark dorm room, which I stay in form most of the day.
