The Power of Four

Chapter 2

when I rushed to school, it turned out I was 5 minutes early. I walked into the school and noticed how big it was. There were 5 buildings, consisting of one building for each ranking of high school and one for the multipurpose room. As I was busy admiring the size of the building, I bumped in to a guy that was walking the other way. "Watch where you're going, new guy," he said. "Listen, man, I don't want to pick a fight with you." He shoved me against the wall. "What can you do, huh?" "I can do a lot more than you think." He threw me to the concrete floor of the entrance to the school. The Destroyer, as he calls himself, started kicking me on the ground. I started getting angrier than I've ever gotten before. I felt a power surge through me. It was the adrenaline rush. Suddenly, I heard a wooshing sound behind me. "Step off him, Jason," he said. "How do you know my real name?!" "No questions, just doing. Now, get off him. Or I'll pry you off him myself." Jason hit me one more time and, without anyone touching him, he was flung to the wall. "I said get off him, Jason." I saw him heaving from the back slam he just got from the wall. "O...k....I'm...sorry," Jason said."Please...don't...hurt...me...any...more." He was heaving after every word. I wanted to say "Karma, Bitch!" So bad, but I didn't want to get into anymore trouble than I thought I was going to be in after this. "I know you but you don't know me. I'm you, from 4 months into the future. I know it sounds crazy but just believe me," he said. "You're kidding right? This is just another new-kid prank." I wouldn't be surprised if this was another prank on me, due to the fact that I was getting them 24/7 at my old school. "This is serious. Did you not see me fling that bully into the wall?!" He was right. I did see that happen before my eyes. I was going to say that there was a wire connected to him but I didn't see any wires on him. He did look genuinely hurt. "Alright, I believe you. Why did you 'time travel' back here, though?" I asked him. "To warn you. After school today, there is a storm. Do not stay outside. This storm will manifest your powers and it will be painful. It's a living hell after that." He kept on going for a while about not going outside after school. I knew this guy was faking this whole thing. "Jax, come on, he's coming!" I heard from behind him. "I need to go. Do not go outside after school. You won't have to suffer this hell." "Why would having powers be a living hell?! Why?! Tell me!" "Good bye, Jax." he turned around and jumped into the ground.
