Under the Mask

Gabriella

It took me an hour yesterday, but I was able to untie the rope and make it home. The new guy was interesting, I was surprised with his actions, I have never met anyone apart of the Cattivo that almost seemed like not too bad of a person which got me wondering why he is a part of the Cattivo in the first place.

I didn't mind talking to him though it was fun having someone who had good comebacks.

I got to school today and sat down next to Adam. I got a few dirty looks from my teacher but other than that I had a good morning.

I got to the cafeteria and sat next tom Levi who is wearing black sweatpants pared with a black sweatshirt

"All black today?"

"Yep, changing it up"

"Same black leggings and sweatop?"

"Hey this is a different top"

"I mean same style"

"Stop judging"

"Who is judging?" Sophia said while sitting next to me

"Levi is judging my outfit"

"How dare you Levi"

"Yeah, Levi that isn't cool" Me and Sophia whipped our heads around to see Nate standing there

"Do you know what they are even talking about?" Levi asked looking confused

"No but it sounded fun blaming you for stuff, so I am in" Nate said while smiling

"You are such an asshole" Levi blurted out

"Yeah, you are such an asshole" Me and Sophia whipped our heads around to see Adam standing behind us. I was getting really dizzy from how much I was turning my head.

"Not you too" me and Sophia said at the same time

"Wait what is even going on" Levi said

"Yeah, I am really confused" Nate said agreeing with Levi

"I don't know I just joined you guys" Adam admitted

"What were we talking about again?" Levi asked

"You said that I wear the same thing all the time, so then Sophia joined in and then Nate joined in, and you called him an asshole which led to Adam joining in and agreeing that Nate was an asshole"

We all started laughing uncontrollably as the whole cafeteria watched.

Eventually when we all cooled down, I needed to make things clear with Levi.

"Don't you dare say again that I wear the same thing"

"Yeah Lev-" Do not start that again" Nate practically begged Sophia

"Listen, you don't wear the same thing every day, but they are all very similar and a bit worse than casual"

"HEY" I shouted

"You shouldn't have gone there Levi" Nate and Adam said

"It has been nice knowing you all these years" Adam said while Nate laughed waiting for Sophia to confront him

"You are lucky today that I am in a good mood and am not going to kill you" Sophia warned him

Levi gave a very relieved look before trying to laugh it off still looking worried

"Ok Sophia you are scaring him" I said trying not to laugh

She started to talk but I wasn't focused on her but the tv. Some of the men apart of the Cattivo are holding people at gunpoint in the middle of the street. This is a desperate move of theirs to get my attention

Perfect timing, middle of the school day.

"Gabriella, are you listening?"

"Sorry just my head is pounding, I am going to go see the nurse"

I got up and walked out as fast as I could before anyone could respond

I flew to the scene as fast as possible and luckily no one was hurt

"You know boys you can always call me if you ever want to talk, you don't need to create a scene"

"Use your powers and I swear these people die" One of the men said

People were starting to scream, and I had no idea how to get out of this one

"Listen just let them go and me and you can talk" I said being very serious now

"Yeah, because I am that stupid to just let them go and have nothing against you"

"Ok first asshole, good job you are learning what sarcasm is, second let them go willingly before I come over there and beat your ass till you let them go"

"Either way works for me" I said while looking over to see donut man looking as irritated as last time

"Hey donut man!" he rolled his eyes clearly still hating the nickname

"That is not my name" he said

"Ok, either donut man or grumpy you decide"

"How about you focus on the guys with guns instead of creating stupid nicknames?"

"Grumpy would be better but I like the sound of donut man more" I said making him put down his donut

"If you really don't want to pay attention to us then we will happily use our guns" One of the men said

"Oh, sorry no idea where my manners went, how can I help you?"

"Drop the sarcasm"

"You know how happy it makes me that you knew it was sarcasm, you are learning that is a step but now you have to learn your manners" I said trying to hold back the laugh that was reaching its way up

"I have had enough of this" he said while shooting the gun. I used my powers just intime to stop the bullet

Three guys came running in my direction, I used my abilities to stop two of the men while punching the third one in the face

"Owwww, son of a bitch I think your jaw broke my hand" I said but he was knocked out cold

I decided to stay away from the physical fighting and used my powers to knock out the other guys. I should have probably started with that, but it is fun messing with them. I turned to the cops as they were slowly approaching.

"Well guys, you are welcome, as always, I am doing your job better than yourselves. I should really be getting paid"

"Hey donut man mind bringing me one next time?"

"You can't buy your own?" he questioned

"I didn't know such an old man could be so stubborn"

That caused the other cops to laugh

"Don't take it personally, when it comes to work, he only cares about his job and prefers to keep to himself" one of the cops said

"Don't worry, I bet I can change that" I never back down from a bet

"Good luck!" the officer said

Before I leave there is just one thing I have to do

"Thanks donut man"

"Don't do it" he said, learning from what I did last time

I took the donut and flew off looking back to see him shaking his head
