Martin High School

English class. It was the one time the whole gang were in the same lesson. Throughout their teachers lengthy lectures, they fiddled with their pens, doodled and hummed. They all had the same thing picking at their mind, and it was their powers, especially Kevin. He didn't want his power, it was way too much responsibility in his hands. He didn't know how to tell his parents or if he ever would, or how he would even live like this forever. Kirstie was staring at Avi who was a few seats in front of her, he was snoozing away and his hair was like a mane that covered all ends of the desk. She began to glare deeply at his head and read his mind. To her surprise she couldn't hear anything, maybe reading dreams was a power yet to develop. Mitch and Kirstie shared a look, giggling at him snoring away. Suddenly Mitch kicked the back of his chair, causing him to jump up.

"Holy shit!." Avi whispered to Mitch while laughing.

"Your hairs a mess." Mitch laughed.

"Go fuck yourself." Avi mouthed flipping him off.

Kirstie watched from a distance at their cute little exchange. Her smile faded slightly.

There was a sharp microphone muffle that switched on, startling the sleeping students. A voice began to speak.

//"Students, this is an important announcement. I ask that all members of staff seat themselves."

The teacher edged towards her seat. Suddenly the seat moved a few inches back and the teacher fell on her backside. The class erupted in laughter. The gang looked back at Scott knowing he moved it with his mind.

"I couldn't help it." Scott mouthed, holding back laughter.

Kevin gave him the sternest look, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. Then the principal continued.

//"Miss Audrey will be returning to school finally since the incident...

Everyone remembered back to the day where she was with them in the explosion. They almost forgot she was there too as her hospital stay was longer. It triggered in each of their minds if she had gained a power too. They all shared aphrenrsive glances contradicting the cheers of everyone else in the class.

//"She is due 10 minutes from school and will make it in time for the end of school. She thanks everyone for their flowers and cards they sent.

"Flowers and cards? Where was ours?" Kirstie muttered under her breath.

"What was that Kirstie?" The teacher said.

"Nothing." She rolled her eyes.

Kirstie stared at the teacher angrily, reading into her mind.

(I don't know why the bitch is complaining. She got out with a few cuts, plus she caused this shit anyway)

"Fucking bitch!" Kirstie scooted out of her chair.

When Avi saw this he quickly stopped time. "What the hell are you doing?"

"URG! Sorry... it's just..." Kirstie ran her hands through her face.

"Someone said something about you?" Scott asked.

"Yeah... it's nothing, I overreacted." Kirstie slipped back into her seat embarrassed.

"Come on guys, please no more slip ups, what did we talk about before?. The world isn't ours to control, we shouldn't take advantage of it." Kevin sighed.
