Personal Powers

Super Tired

I felt like a truck ran over me last night. I was so exhausted and hurt from this morning's fight. And on top of that I only got three hours of sleep which is just horrible.

"What's wrong honey?, you seem tired" My mom started talking to me. But I was so tired that I couldn't even respond. I just shook my head yes after raising my head from the kitchen table.

"If you're feeling sick, you don't have to go to school today or to training" she said. I was so happy after hearing those words but the thing is that I couldn't leave my friends alone while I'm in my bed sleeping. It would be a horrible thing to do. I'm a very loyal person and I wouldn't betray my friends like that.

"No mom, I'm fine. Just a little tired from all the work from yesterday and I couldn't sleep last night. Don't worry about it" I told my mom as I took my bag to leave for school.

"Come here" said my mom while grabbing my hand and pulling me towards her, " I was just making sure, if you need anything just call , okay?" She asked me while fixing my collar of my shirt.

"Yes mom" I responded.

"Now give a kiss" she said.

"Really?" I asked her.

"Am I'm that old that you don't want to kiss your mom on the cheek is not like anyone is gonna know" she said.

"Fine" I said while giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye mom" I told her.

"Bye honey" she said.

My mom is cool but she can be a little extra sometimes.

Anyway, I take my usual commute but this time I don't see Emma nor Nick. I swear to god that if they stayed sleeping I would throw them into the air and then bring them down to the floor and make them kiss my shoes. Luckily I did saw Dylan on the train.

"Hey Dylan" I approach him.
"Hi" he says back.
"Now, can we talk about London? " I say feeling a bit jealous.

"What about her" he asked me back.
"Well, you two were kissing" I said back.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend" He said back. I felt rage inside me and I felt devastated. I just tried very hard to hold it in.

"Ohh" I said to him then sat on the seat that was behind me.
I just stayed quiet the whole ride to school I didn't say a word after that short conversation with Dylan. It really hurt knowing that he was with another girl and that he got over me so quickly. I could not handle this. It was too much.

During class, I didn't payed any attention to anything. I was just thinking and trying to let that pass and just trying to forget about that. The more I tried to forget about it the more I thought about it.
It was so frustrating that once I left school and went to training I put all my anger into little jimmy. He was my partner in water and I called him little jimmy because he was smaller than me and I just played and teased him about it but he was cool with it.

"What's wrong with you today Ethan?" He asked me while I helped him get up after I froze his feet and then pushed him with some water.

"Is just that my mind is in another place and I'm feeling jealous and a bit angry" I told him.
He rose his eyebrows, "but you don't have to take it on me" he said then burst into laughter.

"I know, I know, and I'm sorry little jimmy" I said while laughing and he kept laughing.

"Real funny but that joke is getting old you know, I'm growing. Just one more year and I'll be taller that you" he said.

"I won't count on that" I responded.
"Now can we go back to training and please be a little more passive. You know You're the avatar and you're stronger than me"
"The avatar?"
"Yes, that's what people call you" he said. So I'm known as the avatar, okay I can get used to it.

"Cool" I said back while I started bending some water towards him.

Later after practice, I lost hope and just thought that Emma, Nick and London just didn't come to school and stayed at their houses sleeping without telling Dylan and I a thing. I was mad at that. I could have just stayed home and not come home but again that would make things more suspicious and they might have found out about what had happened. It was too risky.

Anyway, today was a boring day except for the fact that I saw someone you would never believe I would interact with. I'm going to give you a clue. It used to be Nick's boyfriend. yes it was Marco.

So let me start with the story. As I was walking towards the train station from training I saw Marco. He approached me and said
"Hey, you're Ethan, right?"
"Yes, I responded, who are you?" I responded. I knew exactly who he was, he was my boyfriend's ex. Why wouldn't I know this.

"I'm Marco" he responded, "I used to date Nick before you". I can't believe what he just said. Let's break it down. He said that he used to date Nick before ME. Like, didn't Nick tell him about me. I knew Nick way before you so get your facts straight and just to add more details, I was his first so you're not special. Anyways let's continue.

"Ohh, yeah I remember now" I said. Again, I knew already who he was.

"So, how is he doing" He asked me.

Let's pause again. Why would this guy be thinking about Nick after years of breaking up with him. He literally broke with Nick more than two years ago and to be sure, I bet they didn't interact with each other during that time.

"Oh, he is good. Why?" I asked him. I wanted to know why this guy was talking to me in the first place other than just asking about Nick.

"No, just asking cause he sent me a message" He said. Wait what? What did he just say?

"Really?" I asked him. I was getting suspicious by now. It's weird that Nick was sending messages to Marco after two years of them breaking up.

"Yeah, he sends me messages still. Since like we broke up. And we sometimes hang out too. I just thought you should know cause I wouldn't want to cause any problems with you guys" That set me off. I was boiling inside with rage and disappointment.

"Okay, thanks for telling me" I said back to him. We got on the train, he went one way and I went another. I was just thinking how weird this was, very weird so I skipped my stop and got off at Nick's stop.
