The Blue Lights

[1] A Super Crazy World

Chapter One: Change is Good

Do you ever dream about superheros and villains? I always wondered what it would be like to have a power. That feeling of flying in the open air, having crazy super strength or even mind control.

When I was a little girl I used to watch cartoon marvel and dc comic TV shows. Now that I am 16 years old I can't be seen watching little kid shows. I don't have a social life as it is. i've been home schooled all my life I wanted to skip high school because I hear it is full of drama, but I skipped only freshman year because after my parents died in a train explosion I had to move in with my crazy grandma who lives in Michigan. She is making me go to the high school my mother and father attended when they were my age.

I have lived in Florida all my life I have never left once. I guess my mom didn't want to stay in Michigan because of how she grew up here. She never talked her about her past, but she was pretty secretive when it came to me. My mom didn’t tell me a lot about anything really now that I think of it. My mom was extremely over protective. I had no idea why though. Because of how i grew up I had no friends and I don't remember ever getting a chance to make friends either.

My grandma was too honest with me. She was trying to tell me that she didn't like the way I dressed.

“You look like a bum” she told me.

“But I like sweatpants and t-shirts” I replied.

“You need to change how you look or you will be teased when you go to school” She explained.

“I’d rather look comfortable than look slutty” I told her.

“Watch your mouth Kat!” She demanded.

I know I have a potty mouth and I do have a crazy name, but my real name is Katherine, everyone in my family calls me Kat for short.

“I want you to buy some nice clothes today at the mall” she told me.

“But I only have my life savings which is supposed to go towards a car.” I said sadly.

“OOOOOOhhh you mean the paid for 2007 Chevy Malibu that I was planning on giving you tomorrow?” She said sarcastically.

“OMG thank you so much your the best grandma ever!” I screamed with excitement.

My first car! i was so happy! I didn’t even have to pay for it. I did say my grandma was crazy, but now I know its a good kind of crazy!

“You can drive it to the mall tonight” she said.

I got my licence over the summer with a private teacher because my mom was worried about me being in a whole class. The only practice I had was when I was playing my racing video games. I would order games online behind my parents back. I would buy first hand shooting games. My mom always called me the son she never wanted.

“How much money did you even have saved up” my grandma asked me.

“I think I only had around 400 in my safe jar” I answered.

I did a lot of chores around my house because I never was able to do anything else so I would get money, but I had to put it towards something I really wanted. I didn’t want to waste my money on clothes I don’t even like.

“Oh honey that's not enough money, I want you to keep that money in your safe jar for a rainy day. I have been saving up too. I have plenty of money for myself. I was going to tell you this tomorrow too, but I opened a savings account for you with $5,000 in it. I do wish you will spend it wisely!” she explained.

“I can’t take your money” I yelped.

“Yes you can and I will make you” she said sternly.

“Thank you so much” I said sincerely.

Later that day I jumped into my new car and typed in the malls address into my also new GPS. I drove for 3 minutes and I was there. I walked slowly to the doors. I had never been to a mall before and I didn’t know what I was walking into. The first store I went to was a place called Forever 21. I’ve never seen clothes that looked so tight and uncomfortable. I just stood there not knowing what to do.

“Do you need some help” she asked.

“Do you work here” i asked back.

“No, but your grandmother sent me here to find you” she said.

“Um...” I said scared.

“Don't worry i know your grandma she is a family friend” she explained.

She held out her hand to me.

“I'm Nancy your Kat right?” she asked.

I shook her hand”

“Yeah I'm Kat, nice to meet you” I said.

“Your grandma wanted a fellow student to help you out with some shopping.” she said.

“That's probably a good idea, i'm so used to wearing sweatpants, and I have absolutely no idea what I should wear” I said with a laugh.

“Well you did come to a great store, theses are the clothes all the girls wear at our school, so you will fit right in. what  size do you wear?” she asked.

“I wear a 9 in pants and medium in shirts” I answered.

“What about dress size?” she asked.

“I don't usually wear dresses.” I told her.

“Well damn girl, throw some heels and a dress on you and you'll have the guys drooling.” Nancy said with a funny expression on her face.

GUYS! really i always dreamed of falling in love at high school and living in Gotham city and having little super babies, but that's just my head talking.

“I don't even know how to talk to a guy let alone even kiss one.” I told her

“Ha ha! well we are going to be great friends then” She said back with a laugh

As I stood in the dressing room I had skinny jeans, blouses, push-up bras, heels and skirts thrown over the door to me. I bought all of the things she told me to plus extra thing i wanted from this really cool store called hot topic.

I had to admit though, I really liked the clothes that I put on, I felt confident and sexy like Black Widow. I wondered what people will think of me at school the next day.
