Caleb

It was the next day at school and Caleb was excited to get out and train. He hadn't figured out how to use all of his powers yet, but when he used the ones he did know like his water and ice ones, he felt so alive. All he had to do was get through a long, boring, tired day of testing first. But at the end of the day, that was going to be the greatest. At first, Chris was going to have them train only on Fridays and weekends but they all wanted to train all the time, and Caleb was the one to finally convince him to let them train everyday.

Yes! School. Finally. Out. Caleb was no longer a bus rider. That would take to long, instead Chris picked them up in this giant, dark orange van. Caleb went to the car rider line with Hannah, Ethan, and Arianna. The van was at the front of the line. Great, that meant no waiting. Once they went to a secluded area around the corner, Chris teleported them to their training area. One week ago, Chris had rigged the van to teleport with him. That way they can start training almost as soon as we got out of school. "Okay!" Chris said,"What powers do you all want to work on?" "MIND CONTROL!!!!" Hannah screamed excitedly. "I don't know, I kind of wanted you to work on your flying some more." "Oh, I did. I mastered it last night" she said as she demonstrated. Hannah did a couple of twists, flips, and dives in the air to prove that she had gotten better at flying. "Okay then, you can try mind controlling me, and if you get it down then you can do it on someone else too." "Yes!" "Okay, Arianna work on your super speed." "Mastered it!" Arianna did at least one thousand laps around the room."Okay then, umm work on animal morphing." "Ok!" "Okay, Ethan work on your laser fists. Unless you've mastered that too." Chris started to sound annoyed. "No, I haven't, I'll start practicing now." " Okay and lastly, Caleb. What do you want to start on?" "Umm......I don't know. Levitation I guess" " Okay, get started then. If anyone needs me...... I will be under Hannah's control. Yay!" Chris said sarcastically. Okay, Caleb tried to concentrate. He grabbed a history book from his backpack and laid it on the ground. He had to concentrate. He had to concentrate. He had to.............con-cen-trate! He was doing it!! The book was floating. Higher and higher. Soon it was above his head! He thought it would be funny if he threw it at someone. Not Hannah, she was with Chris. Not Ethan. He would beat Caleb up. Arianna! Perfect. Where was she? He suddenly felt something crawling up his leg. He looked down. It was the biggest, fattest, ugliest, creepiest beetle he had ever seen. And were those.....teeth?! "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed dropping the book from the air. He shook his leg as hard as he could but the beetle clung on. He didn't even care right now that everyone was staring at him and laughing at his girly scream. He started to concentrate again. He could lift the beetle! He threw it up in the air so high, he was sure it would die the second it hit the ground. But it didn't. Right before it hit the floor, it changed. It was Arianna. She was laughing so hard along with all the others. "I saw you getting ready to throw that book at me." She said, "I was not going to let that happen." "But.....But how! You got to me so fast! Before I even saw you!" "Super speed dude! Duh!" She started laughing so hard, she snorted. Really, really loud. The room suddenly got quiet and they all stared at her. "What?! Don't judge!" They all laughed again until Chris jumped onto Caleb. His bony elbows were crushing his ribcage. He couldn't breathe. "Get........offfffffffff!!" Ethan suddenly grabbed Chris and threw him off of Caleb. "How did you-" "Super strength. I don't really have to train for that. It's just kind of........already there." Chris started clapping slowly. "Great job Hannah and Ethan! Super strength and mind control! Nice you two! Arianna and Caleb, I could use a little more from you next time. Okay? Good. Now that Hannah has proven that she can control minds by using me as her test dummy, according to our agreement you can mind control any of them." "Sweet!" Hannah said. "Hmmm.......I choose.......Aria- Caleb!" "What! Why me!" "Because I don't like you! Just kidding! It's just because you're fun to mess with." "But-" He was about to say something but his mind was taken over. He could still think things to himself but he had absolutely no control over his body. He started doing the chicken dance then took off his shirt. Oh crap! Was Hannah going to make him strip down to nothing?! He started to panic. The good thing was that she didn't make him do that. What she did do was make him run straight into a wall as fast as he could go. Ouch!! It really hurt. Caleb could hear everyone laughing. Not in a mean way, just a fun way. His vision started to blur and darken. The room got more serious. "Arianna," he heard Chris say just before he blacked out, "I think this might be a good time to practice your healing powers."
