RING! RING! RING!

A groan escaped someone who had been buried under many layers of blankets on top of a soft and large futon. The sound of the rings was coming from what looked to be a smart phone. A hand reached out from underneath to take the phone up off the ground, only to throw it across the room; successfully landing in the trash bin that was just in the corner of the room.

"Need more sleep..." A girl had said, as she turned to lay on her stomach and put the pillow on top of her head. A door could be heard sliding open followed by the sound of footsteps. They approached the young girl that was trying to sleep.

"Hey Reina." A tired voice belonging to a man had said, "Get up."

"Go away..." The girl named Reina said with her voice muffled, "... Wanna sleep..."

The man started to nudge her with his foot earning yet another groan from her. "You can sleep on your own time, but today is a school day." He said, "That and your friends been banging on the door for quite awhile."

She was perplexed by what he meant at first until the sound of loud knocking became clear to her. From the banging had followed a voice, "OI REINA-CHAN! DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE STILL SLEEPING!? WE'RE GONNA BE LATE IF YOU DON'T HURRY IT UP!"

"He's been at it for the past ten minutes." The man said, "It's getting on my nerves."

Reina kept her head down as she waved her hand, "Okay I get it Scruffy. Just get out of my room so I can get ready."

"Make sure you hurry." He said before leaving her to it. With effort she finally stood up from her futon revealing her shoulder length purple and aqua green hair and odd colored eyes that were of red and violet. After retrieving her phone from the trash bin, she started to get ready for the day.

My name is Reina Nouki.

I've just turned 14 and I'm a senior in middle school. I live in a world where basically everyday is like a comic book; Meaning that everyone in every country has a superpower.

The short version is that someone in China had a baby that just glowed and I mean that in a literal sense.

No one knows how it happened or what the cause of it was, but since than people have been getting powers or better known as Quirks, left and right and it donned a new age in humanity.

Both in a good and bad way.

Nowadays people with Quirks can do two things with them. They can either use it for good, protect and save the innocent, or use it for evil, to steal and kill the innocent.

Like many, I have a Quirk too, and so do a couple of friends of mine.

Reina wrapped a set of bandages around her forehead before tying her hair back into a ponytail. After fixing up her uniform a bit she grabbed her bag and proceeded out the door of her room, entering the living room just down the hall. "I'm gonna be late getting home again." A familiar man with a tired voice had said, "So you're on your own for dinner tonight."

"Gotcha Scruffy." Reina said as she waved, "Have a good day."

"Safe trip." The man said as he drank from a juicy beverage.
