I wake up to my cell phone, playing the theme song from The Flash, telling me to go to wake up and go to school. I sit up on my bed looking around. A typical spring morning in March. I get up and open my curtains to a clear spring morning. I take a hot shower and after, I hear a pop from my phone about me getting a text notification from Judith. I grab it from the table and turn it on, texting while changing.

Judith: You up?

Me: Do you think I would respond if I wasn't awake?

Judith: Maybe? Anyway, how is that new suit going.

Me: Well.

I got a slight suit redesign after the last months. Especially, in the winter months. This suit is not warm at all.
I made a winter suit and even added a bigger feet accessory for snow. For you know, snowshoes. I also improved against the extreme friction. I kept the basic design and changed the color scheme. I replaced the yellow upper suit with a shamrock green upper suit. The crimson red is fine and kept the logo. Anyway, the conversation continues and while I get some breakfast:

Judith: Anyway, are you going to celebrate our 6th month anniversary? Don't you remember?

I spit out the cereal out of my mouth. "Clark, are you okay?," my mom yells from her bedroom. "Um, yeah", I say back. "I just noticed that I put orange juice in my cereal." I realized I didn't remember that it was our half-year anneversary. I describe my memory as decent. These are the worst case scenario times for my decent memory.

Me: I got to go. My bike got a flat tire. I have to run to school. That would make me a snail

Judith: You don't have a bike. Also, you have super speed.

Me: Maybe I do, maybe I don't.

Judith: I measured your top speed. You are over 400 MPH.

Me: I just have to go. Bye.

Judith: Bye

I brush my teeth at super speed and grab my sweater on the way out. I stop at a flower stand on the way there and scrounge around through my wallet. "Ten bucks", I say. A" simple bouquet of flowers is for two dollars. I'll just get a step above. Not the bare minimum. " I buy a bouquet for 4 dollars and I speed off to school again. I arrive with the bouquet and find Judith on a bench by the gym. "Hey, how you doing", I say to her.
"Fine, really", she says. If I know correctly, I'm not a mind reader but it is obvious something is wrong. "What's wrong", I ask her. "Why the long face?" She say, "I just had an argument with Amy and she said she won't talk to me until I apologize for something I didn't do." "Which one is Amy, again", I ask. "Oh, right, the one who sits in back of me in Math class. Trust me, a semester and a half sitting in front of her, I know her. She, even does it with me, misplaces or does something and blames it on someone that has no idea what they are being accused for. Also, cheer up. Look what I brought." I present Judith with the bouquet and she cheers up immediately. "Thank you", she says and squeezes out a bear hug on to me. She likes giving hugs. I hug back and the bell rings, bringing rain to my parade. We walk to our individual advisory and say bye to each other. When she leaves, I super speed to my advisory. My advisory teacher is strict when it comes to the 7:45 bell. I get in to the class and take out a book to read until they bring the breakfast cart. Meanwhile, somewhere in the distance, in the city, a criminal is brewing up a crime plan and the criminal knows Kid Stupendous might not be able to stop the criminal.
