Opposites Attract

Fight

Monday soon rolled around, and we were back to Sky High. As we were stepping off the bus, Ron started the usual spiel.

"Welcome to Sky- Hey!"

I rolled my eyes at Speed, who was now wearing Ron's bus driver hat.

"If you're not gonna respect me, at least respect the hat," Ron muttered, as Lash scoffed.

"Guys, give Ron his hat back," Will tried to reason, a newfound Monday confidence clearly making him forget who he was messing with.

"Okay, you're the sidekick- give him his hat back," Lash said, throwing it in a muddy puddle.

"What's the matter Rosie?" Speed asked with a chuckle.

"You guys seriously need to grow up if that's the best you've got," I muttered, eyebrow raised in sheer disbelief of their primary school antics.

"Oooooh," they both jeered with a laugh; "See you in class, Rosie," they waved and headed into the school.

"Thanks Will," Ron said as he dusted his cap off, "And nice try Rosie- but they don't care if it's grown up or not."

"I figured," I scoffed, "I have all my classes with them."

"All of them?" Zach asked in sheer disbelief.

"Yeah... Go me, right?" I smirked before we headed into the school.

"See you at lunch?" Layla asked hopefully.

"Yeah, always," I smiled, "See you guys!" I sang, heading off for my lesson.

"Today, we will be using your powers to solve problems," Coach Boomer thundered; "Everyone will be split into pairs; Lash and Speed, Gwen and Penny, and because I'm a firm believer in facing your problems over and over until they get resolved, Peace, you'll be with Stronghold- but I don't want a repeat of last time!"

Everyone snickered as Warren looked to the gym floor. I gave Lash and Speed a look and their laughter died down soon enough. 

"You will watch the screen, which will present to you ten scenarios in which a hero needs to save a civilian, then you will come together in your pairs, and better grasp what each other's powers are, and how they could be used to solve the problem. And if I hear one "I can't do it", I will personally shout you to the nurse's office. Comprende?" Coach yelled.

Everyone nodded.

"Well get to it, pansies!" 

Everyone split off to find a place in the bleachers. Warren and I sat a little further away from everyone else; me because I didn't want Lash or Speed distracting me, Warren because... I just think that's who he is as a person.

We sat in silence for a few seconds as we waited for Boomer to connect the projector, and Warren leaned over to whisper in my ear.

"I'm sorr-"

"Don't even say it. He shouldn't have mentioned it- it was wrong of him to. I've told you Warren, it's okay... look," I said, as I rolled up my sleeve.

Where before bandages had wrapped all the way up my forearm, now just a few big scabs littered my arm on one side, but they didn't need anything else to help them- just time.

"See... it's fine," I whispered, and Warren nodded, sinking back into his seat.

"So what are your powers again?" he asked calmly.

"Water manipulation and teleportation, and if you dare make a snide remark about Third Generation Heroes, I will drown you," I threatened calmly, making him smirk.
