" Sharkboy was not always half shark half boy. He was a marine biologist, or at least in training, his father studied great white shark and call his son 'sharkboy' for how much he cared for them. He made them sushi and had given them all names. Goodmilk, Peggy, eggbat and crackett. But one day an incredible mysterious storm appeared. It swept away the entire laboratory. Thanks to their lifeboats Sharkboy and his father survived, but they survived on different sides of the wreckage each floating off in a different direction. Sharkboy was completely alone, almost completely. But one of the sharks had recognized him-They took Sharkboy to their cave home, where he'd be safe and dry. his new family were sharks, hundreds of sharks. The sharks raised him as one of his own training him the way of the shark. To live by instinct and instinct alone. Eventually he grew gills and sharp talons for claws. His teeth sharpened to a point and he grew fins, all sorts of fins. But that was years ago. I first met Sharkboy while fishing on a dock this summer. He seemed lost. So I snuck him home when my parents where to busy to notice.-
I kept him fed and in water. He had been traveling the universe in search of his father. He told me of his latest adventures of a planet so cool, it makes you drool. He said I too could go to planet drool someday. Then one night I was visited by a glowing light. An amazing girl with purple flames for hair and skin of molten lava rocks appeared. I had called her ' lavagirl'. She smiled at me, for that seemed to be her name. She told me she needed Sharkboy to return to planet drool with her, for a great crisis was developed. She asked if I could go with her. I told her " I have school tomorrow". She gave me a sad look and flamed away taking Sharkboy with her-
Before I could turn she came back , but only to warn me. For She had said " another being had been born, for it had powers so powerful it could destroy an entire city within seconds". She didn't know who held this power nor where they going to use it for good or bad , but she told me to look out and beware. For this person was rather the key to helping them or a threat to me and both of our planets. Once I blinked they where gone; and I haven't seen Sharkboy or lavagirl since then." Setting his book down max stared at the class. " and that's what I did this summer".
After seconds of deadly silence everyone, expect for two girls, threw paper balls at max. One of them sat in he front, her head rested down on her arms that lay on her desk. Her eyes where wide sparkling through her glasses with a smile of curiosity sprawled across her face. The other one sat far in the back in the seat next to the cone where max had sat. She she slumped in her chair fiddling in her hands that rested on her lap looking down. She seemed to have been avoiding what max had been saying yet she was listening along with the rest of the class.
"ENOUGH" their teacher yelled. " someone is picking that up, and it's not going to be me" taking of his glasses and sitting straight in his wheelchair he eyed the class as Linus raised his hand.
" I thought we where supposed to tell true stories" he questioned. A hint of ignorance spat in his throat.
"it is a true story" max replied flicking out one of the paper balls that stayed in his head. The girl in the front raised her hand up. " does lavagirl have special powers?"
"there is not such thing as lavagirl" the teacher responded. Flipping through the pages of his book he looked back up at her.
" she can shoot lava out her hands". She smiled brightly
" cool! What about that mystery girl? Did they ever find her? Did they find out who she is? Do they know if she's really evil or not?" The girl in the back looked up a twitch of rage in her stomach. Her head stayed down but her eyes followed the crowd. She looked back down disappointed her dull brown and black eyes scanned her desk.
