Chapter 8: Superheroes and Psychos

The connection between them was a stretch, but it was too much to be a coincidence. Once the three people had left the locker room, I pulled out my phone and called Molly.

"If I get detention because of you-"

I interrupted her. "If your name is Foley Bailey, there are people here looking for you."

"How many?"

"Three. A girl and two boys."

"Where are you?" she asked.

"Locker room. They were just in here."

"And they're gone now?"

"Yeah. I don't know where they went," I replied.

"I'll be down. Don't talk to them unless you have to. If engaged in a fight, run away," she instructed. "I'll call you if I need anything." Then she hung up.

I put my phone down and grabbed a book from on top of my pile and flicked through it. I needed something in case there was a fight or something went wrong.

Suddenly, the book was thrown out of my hands and someone pinned me up against the wall. "So you do know Foley," he said.

I looked around for the other two people, but I didn't see them.

"No, I don't. Not really," I replied.

"We heard you talking."

"I wasn't talking to anyone!"

His grip tightened on my wrists. I didn't mean to do anything, but suddenly, you're stronger than you think.

The guy was lying on the ground in front of me. Just as quickly as it happened, the girl appeared and the other guy walked through the wall and the lockers.

"Cam!" the girl cried as she rushed over and put her hand on his neck. "What did you do to him?"

"I didn't do anything!" I replied. "I didn't mean to!"

"I thought Foley was the only one with powers in here," the girl said.

"Maybe it is Foley. She might've disguised herself," the boy replied.

"I'm not Foley!" I said. Then, Molly walked into the locker room and saw the four of us.

"Courtney, I told you not to do anything!" she said.

"I didn't mean to! I panicked!"

"Is he okay?" she asked he walked over to Cam. She still had her dark hair, so I wasn't sure these people would recognize her.

"Get away. Who are you?" the girl asked.

Molly smiled. "Lillianne, we need to talk."

Lillianne gasped. "Why haven't you been responding to us?"

"I couldn't. I had to do a few other things."

"Foley, we can help you."

"I don't need your help! Brittney's after Courtney and I don't know why."

"Courtney?" the guy asked.

"Yeah. Courtney, this is Lillianne and Kade, and Cameron's the unconscious one. Guys, this is Courtney."

Lillianne looked really confused. "And why is Brittney looking for her?"

Molly shrugged. "I don't know. Courtney has powers too, I think that might be why."
