The first few weeks at The School for Specially Gifted passed by quickly. The new students soon learnt more about their powers, learning to develop them further and gain full control of them. Several students managed to fully control their powers and their progress continued. A select few, however, excelled in their powers, and teachers had noticed.

Monday morning, after a casual weekend of revision and playing around with powers, a meeting was called in the great hall... but only five students were invited.

"Wait, so only us five guys are going? What about other students?" Niall asked, puzzled by the situation. Zayn just shrugged in response.

"Maybe we're not doing well enough," Zayn said, his forehead creasing in thought, "maybe we're gonna get expelled." Zayn kept a calm look while speaking but Niall looked nervous, constantly biting his nails.

"I'm sure that's not it... I've done nothing but finish work on time and behave," Liam added as he stood up, "it's 9.25am. We better go down." All five boys followed each other down the stairs, thinking over in their minds what the meeting could be about.

The headmistress was sat at the end of the hall on one of the long benches. She stood up once she noticed the five boys. 

"Don't worry, you're not in any trouble..." headmistress Tarrant smiled. Niall suddenly relaxed. The boys stood awkwardly at the bench where Tarrant had been sat. 

"Sit, sit." she insisted, gesturing towards the bench in front of the boys. They all nervously took their seats. Tarrant looked at each boy before starting. 

"As you know, this school is especially for the specially gifted. Each student here is gifted in one way or another, but some students are showing... exceptional performance. We've been watching each student closely and have selected you five for a special programme." The boys shuffled in their seats slightly, waiting for headmistress Tarrant to continue explaining. 

"Over the next few weeks you will have an extra session in which you will be taught to use your powers within combat," Tarrant explained, the boys interest rising, "but don't get too ahead of yourselves, as if we feel you're not programme material we will remove you." She added, a more serious tone detected. The boys all nodded. 

"Now we've established that, I can tell you that you'll be starting next week. Monday evenings from 3.30pm till 5pm you will have your training. Report to this main hall on Monday at 3.15pm to start. If you know now that you're not going to be dedicated to this, speak now." All five boys stayed silent, and Tarrant smiled.

"Good. I'll let you get back to your lessons. I'll see you Monday." Tarrant stood up and left the boys in the great hall. 

"Holy shit..." Louis breathed once the headmistress was out of ear shot. Niall stood up and was jumping slightly on his feet, releasing energy and expressing his excitement. 

"Well, that was unexpected..." Liam added, standing up and stretching his legs. 

"Combat?" Zayn asked, looking up to Liam. Liam shrugged.
