I laid awake in my room. The digital clock next to my bed read 4:37 AM. I hadn't been able to sleep all night so I got up to get some water.
When I turned on the faucet, nothing happened. I thought it must be broken so I decided to play some video games. When I tried to turn on the tv, nothing happened. Everything was broken. Even the analogue clock had stopped working. I thought maybe something was wrong outside with our breaker so I put on my shoes and headed to the door.
When I opened the door, I was greeted with one of the most beautiful sights ever. It was as if all the rain had just come to a stop, frozen mid air. I reached out and poked one of the suspended raindrops. It was wet. Somehow all the rain was frozen in time. I looked up and saw a flock of geese. Frozen mid-flap. I started to piece together what was happening. Somehow I had frozen time.
After a few minutes of as, I decided that the best course of action would be to get some rest. As I walked past the old analog clock, I started to hear something. Like a long, drawn out tock. I hadn't frozen time, I was moving fast. Faster than light. Faster than everything. When I payed back down on my bed, I fell asleep immediately.
As soon as I woke up I looked at the clock. It read 4:52 AM. Only 15 minutes since I fell asleep. I decided to go on a jog.
As I was jogging, I passed by the "special" school. As I passed I thought that I saw something move. The school itself was beautiful. It was deep inside of a forest. I am actually one of the few people that knows where the school actually is. Every once in awhile, someone would be sent to the school. As I looked closer at where I thought I saw the movement, I saw it again out of the corner of my eye. This time I knew exactly where it came from. The window. I was just leaving my spot when the front door opened. They opened as fast as I would have. Out of them came a man. He was probably six feet tall and had long white hair. However he looked to be in his mid-30's.
"Hello Ty. My name is Mr. Johnson. I teach at this wonderful school. You are probably wondering how I knew your name? I have been tracking you since you were born. I knew that you would be a power-wielder. A... Super Hero. I can sense things. I can also deactivate powers. For example, your speed. My school is for people with powers. We will be able to help you control your powers. I would be able to help fight your yang. It probably won't have affected you yet, but it will, the good powers always come with a bad repercussion. Will you go to my school?" The man talked in a very thoughtful voice.
"Absolutely. I don't want to be stuck in this frozen time forever!"
"Great! We will start right now. I will get you a beginner device that will allow you to turn off and on your powers manually. It comes in the form of a watch. I will also send a letter to your mother telling her of your need to come to this school. I will see you tomorrow." He quickly turned around and walked through the door, leaving me with nothing but a watch already on my wrist, effectively deactivating my speed. I clicked my speed on, jogged home, clicked the button again and went to sleep.

The next day I woke up with a large smile on my face. When my mom told me that I was going to go to the new school, I almost cheered. This was actually happening. Plus, I didn't have a single friend at my old school. I let my mom drive because I didn't want her suspicious.
When she dropped me off with all my stuff she started tearing up. She had just realized that it was a boarding school. I told her that it would be alright as I walked through the front door of the grand school.
The inside of the school was almost as normal looking as it could be. Until I walked in to get my room.The person at the front desk looked oddly robotic. Then it talked.
"Hello. Please State your name and number."
"Um. My name is Ty Everstrom. I don't yet have an ID. I would like to have my room."
"Ty Everstrom. Your ID number is 489762. Your room number is 132. Your roommates are Kevin Flygnr, Dustin Olison, and Owen Benetti. Your training group is Kevin Flygnr, Dustin Olison, Owen Benetti, Lucy Kenitson, Hailley Hafsern, Amelia Laiket, and Abby Feilef."
"Thank you."
After a while of searching, I finally found my room. From the outside, it looked like it couldn't be more than five feet wide. However, when I opened the door, the "room" turned out to be about as large as my house. It had two bathrooms, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a gaming room, and a storage room. I was just opening the cabinet that the games were in when the front door opened and three people came in.
"Hey, guys! It's our new roommate, Ty," said a kid that was wearing a pair of green sunglasses. Next to him was another boy that looked like he had a huge lump on his back. Behind the two was a kid that looked perfectly normal. "My name is Dustin Olison. This kid is Kevin Flygnr," said glasses, pointing at the lump kid, "and this is Owen. What do you do?"
"I'm fast. Very fast. I have to wear this watch or else I am in constant speed."
"Yes the classic power-deactivator-thingamidoodle. Mine is in my glasses as it only needs to effect my eyes. I shoot lasers, x-ray vision, all the eye-works."
"Yah, even though I wear one, it doesn't stop all my powers," said Kevin, "for example..." at that moment, Kevin took off his over shirt. Underneath was not a lump, but two, beautiful bird wings. "I have powers as if I was part bird. Flight, hearing and sight enhanced, claws, a few other assorted bits, and my personal favorite, the ability to talk to birds."
"I get angry," said Owen. "And I can heal from anything. Limb cut off, no problem. Sliced down the middle, never happened. The reason I need a watch is not for that reason. When I get angry, I just smash bash and crash. The only thing that stops me is a serum that Mr. Johnson concocted."
"Guys, looks like Ty got her just in time for us to start our SurvivalLife server!" said Dustin.
"What's SurvivalLife?"
"SurvivalLife is a game where you start out with nothing, and you craft and construct until your are thriving. But you have to be carefull. There are monsters like zombies, witches, vampires, skeletons, ghosts, suicide-monsters called SAN's, and creepy, tall skinny ones called Stallers. Plus there are new monsters being added everyday. We use it as training for our powers. The scientist at our school, Dr. M, can tap into minds. He uses this to make out headsets that send us into the Virtual Reality of SurvivalLife able to send us with all of our powers. It can also be used to help as a team building exercise. Want to play?"
"Absolutely! Let's get started!" Dustin led the three of us into the gaming room where we all put on these strange hats that looked like something out of a sci-Fi space film. When we pressed a button that was on the side, everything went black. A few seconds later, a long white bar appeared and slowly filled up with a green line,
After a few minutes, I found myself next to a large ocean. I found a backpack next to me. All I could find in the backpack was a small phone so that U could communicate with my partners. I quickly started to type.
