Super Beginnings

Chapter Twenty Two - Their Predictions

On top everything high school had to throw at students they added that you have to do at least 30hours of community service. To annoy the boys I took it as the pool as a life guard doing when the girls would be out. Much to many annoyance. Now sat keeping a eye on things I chuckled at the thought of Pete and Clark going to the elderly home. Pete had no idea why Clark chose that to do but i did. Lana had been there for two weeks volunteering and of course where Lana was, Clark usually surface to admire her from afar.

I was in the middle of my shift and nothing had gone wrong, so far but I kept my wits about me. But that didn't stop my brother from storming in fully dressed and trying not to fall in.

"Mia! Mia, Get down from there. Get down please." I held onto where I was sitting

"Clark what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the retirement home?" I questioned confused and alarmed to what had got him in such a state.

"Mia, you need to come home with me now alright. Just please, come home right now." he pleaded with me offering his hand. I took it and came down as he held onto my arms

"Clark you're scaring me what's wrong?" He pulled me away as another lifeguard came to take my place. I went into the staff room and got dressed then came back out "Clark." he didn't wait for me to ask again he picked me up and swing me around so that he carried me on his back and sped off away from the centre back to home and to the barn where mom and dad were cutting some wood with the electric saw. He let me down and pulled out the plug closing it down

"Guys when you need this kind of stuff done just ask me. It's what I'm here for." he insisted

"Is something bothering you, Clark?" Mom wondered taking off her safety glasses

"No. I just think we should be putting safety first. If you haven't noticed this stuff is pretty dangerous." we made our way over to them.

"He's lying. Something is wrong, he practically kidnapped me from my community service at the pool today and carried me on his back, all the way home. He refuses to tell what gives." I state folding my arms "It was embarrassing."

"Well this is a farm, it kind of goes with the territory. Seriously, son, what's going on?" Dad questioned again. He looked sheepish as he gave up what had gone on.

"At the retirement centre I met this old, blind lady. I know it sounds crazy but she can see the future." he admitted to us. he was right it did sound crazy.

"What did she tell you?" Mom questioned

"That someone very close to me will die soon." he answered and neither of us sounded convinced

"Listen, Clark you can't let some old lady scare you with a half baked prediction. I mean she probably does it to scare the nurses away." dad dismissed the notion. As replugged the saw back in.

"She told Pete he'd be walking home, seconds later he realised he locked his keys in his car." Clark was adamant in this old ladies powers.

"No one can tell the future."

"What if she can? What if she told me because I can do something about it." he looked and probably felt dejected

"Then she should have been more specific. Name, time and place. Besides if if she can predict the future, no one not even you can control it. Nobody can." I tell him resting my hand on his shoulder. Dad started the saw back up again.

I decided to go see this psychic for myself. After signing in i was told where she would be. The fact that she seemed to got Clark all wound up both irritated and intrigued me since for the longest time the elderly and disabled threw of the vibe of being innocent and untouchable. I knocked on the door.
