Chapter 2

Kara walked into her first class early, she had a double period of Mathematics. She walked into class to see Winn sitting at his desk.

"Winn!" Kara exclaimed excitedly, she pulled her earphones out and walked over to her best friend to give him a hug. She made sure not to give him a bone crushing hug.

Winn looked up and smiled when he saw his friend's face, he quickly stood up and returned the hug, "Geeze K, did you join a gym when you were on holidays?"

Kara instantly let go and pulled out of the hug, she didn't mean to hurt him, she gave a him a apologetic smile, "Sorry", she hated how she could hurt her friend from a simple hug, "How are you?"

The last time she saw Winn was at his mother's funeral, she knew that things were tense between him and his father.

Winn let out a tired sigh and slumped back into his chair, "Tense" he muttered, he didn't want to talk about it, but he trusted Kara, she was the one person in his life that made him feel safe, "I don't know, he changed... I'm worried that his going to do something that gets him thrown in jail"

Kara saw the way Winn spoke about his father, there was anger in his voice but there was also love. She crouched down to the floor and placed her hand over Winn's, "If you ever need anything from me, if you are ever in any trouble. If you're worried about your father then tell me, and I'll be with you in a matter of seconds"

Winn smiled and rubbed his thumb on Kara's hand, "Thanks K, the same goes for you, I will be here whenever you need me"

The bell rung again, Kara flinched at the sudden noise that rung in her ear. She rubbed her head, trying to soothe the headache. She had to resist the urge not to cover her ears in pain.

Winn felt Kara's hand flinch up to her head, "You okay?" he asked with concern. Kara nodded her head, she stood up and took her seat behind Winn which was located at the back of the room near the window. She pulled out her earphones again and put it in her ear, the headache subsided almost instantly as the lead restricted her hearing powers.

Everyone started to rush into the classroom, the once quiet classroom, was now filled with laughter, chatter and gossip.

James Olsen, the quarterback of the football team, sat down next to Winn. James was a nice guy, he would talk to Winn and Kara from time to time, but whenever he tried to hang out with them, his team mates would call him out and tell him they needed to discuss the game plan.

Alex walked into the classroom with her friend Vicky Donahue. The 2 were laughing when they entered the classroom. Alex walked over to her table where she was seated next to her best friend, Lucy Lane.

"What clubs are you joining?" Lucy asked immediately, she had heard rumours that Alex wasn't joking her track team this year.

"Soccer, I heard they have badass captain this year" Alex replied as she took her seat in the middle of the room.

"You mean Sawyer? I heard she's tough and strict" Vicky replied as she took her seat, "Maybe this time I will have a chance of winning track"

Alex scoffed, "You can win it, but that doesn't mean your faster than me"

Vicky was going to argue but the teacher walked in and told the class to settle in.

"Welcome back, I hope you had a fantastic holiday" she said with genuine happiness, Alex rolled her eyes at how peachy the teacher seemed.

"I bet you $10 that she got laid last night" Lucy muttered into Alex's ear, causing the 2 to laugh.

"Alex" the teacher called out, "Something funny?" Alex shook her and held back her laughter. The teacher rolled her eyes and decided to introduce the new girl.
