Mutants

Chapter 1: The Start of the End

I rode my bike to school just like everyday, with my leather duffle bag that keeps on tempting me to stop riding and make sure that it doesn't fall off. But if I do, I'll be late for school, and it seems I'm the only one in the school that cares if they're early or late. Anyways, skipping ahead a few moments. We're in Science class, watching one of those informative videos that look like they were made in the 80's. Everyone's bored as usual and the teachers fallen asleep again. I look over at Jasmine. She's that girl in every high school that everyone likes and is way out of your league. NOT THAT I LIKE HER OR ANYTHING! But, she has a headache as usuall. It always seems like something loud is bursting through her head. Could she be the Mutant from the news? It would make sense since if she has mind reading capabilities, she'd be hearing everyone's thought at any moment! Well there's only one way to find out! In this moment I could say anything! But instead; I said; "I REALLY LIKE YOU JASMINE!" I screamed it as loud as I could in my head. And you wouldn't believe the result. She flinches! Like someone just yelled in her ears. Jasmine even nearly hits her head on her desk. I sat there in shock watching from a few desks behind and in a separate row. I look around to make sure I didn't accidentally yell that out in the middle of class. My head moves spastically around the room to find everyone minding their own business. I sigh in relief, my head returns to it's original position to see her gorgeous green eyes staring at me, squinting. Like she's plotting to kill me. She flicks her head back around to her desk with her long brown locks of hair flowing around her face. "Oh sh- shit! I'M DEAD! LIT-LITERALLY!" I was having a massive mental break down. For the rest of class, I wasn't paying attention to the video, I was paying attention to what she was going to do to me! And not in a sexual way! God I wish! Once the video finished and the teacher woke up and dismissed us I darted out of the class and to the toilets. I run into one of the cubicles and locked it. I turned around and chucked my guts up into the toilet! I was freaked! Thank god it was recess otherwise I'd miss my next period. When suddenly, I hear loud banging on the cubical door.
"LET ME IN OR I'LL LET MYSELF IN BRYCE!" Jasmine yells! I didn't know what to say!
"Firstly, your not al-l-loud in here this is the boys toilets and sec-secondly, if you did come in here with your sup-superpowers you'd see a naked Bryce which you'll also prob-probably kill me anyways but st-still!" I felt proud that I'd stood up for myself for once when...
"Well firstly, this is actually the girls bathroom! Then secondly, I'm not going to kill you! Also I know you not naked and the fact that your puking!"
Well that makes sense! It is cleaner in here than usual! "Shit! She-she knows!" I mumbled "FINE!" I slowly unlock and pulled open the door. I see her standing their, leaning against the frame.
"How do you know about me?" She asks.
"I saw the robbery on the new-news and got paranoid that it might be someone I knew-" I continued on for about 5 Minutes, speeding through words. I might've explained a bit too much, like the fact one of the reasons I found out is because I pay too much attention. "And then I yelled in my hea-head something I regret and obviously that hur-hurt you umm, sorry. And now we're here."
"Ok, you owe me!" She demanded.
"WHA-WHAT!? Why?" I questioned. I was so scared on what she could say next. Your life! for example!
"Well, you owe me because I didn't kill you when you opened the door and want you to not tell anyone about me and the robberies... also, follow me!" She explained. Jasmine swiftly turned towards the door. She turned her head to the side. "You coming Bryce?"
"Yeah..." I stuttered. I followed her out of the bathroom and passed the lockers. As we walked by the rows of people putting away their books I suddenly heard an aggressive voice from within one of the group's.
"Oh shit!" I muttered. A jock named Justin came up towards me.
"The fuck are you doing with my girlfriend!" He asks. He pushes my shoulder. All my energy drained with that one touch.
"I-I... S-She-"
"I need him to help with my homework!" Jasmine jumps in front of me before this got anyworse. "Don't worry, once he's done, you can do whatever you want to him!" She whispers.
"Ok babe! Now fuck off dweeb!" He turns to me as I walk by, he pushes me once again but this time into the locker opposite. I try to shrug it off and walk out the door shortly behind Jasmine. She opens the door of her Ute.
"Get in!" She says. The ute was pretty mucky and dirty. There was quite a few stickers on the outside. Most were 'My Little Pony and 'Hello Kitty' which seemed like something she'd do. I sat in the seat. She slammed the door and made her way around to the other side of the car. The inside was a mirror image of the outside of the ute. Stickers, dirt etc. Basically my worst nightmare. But the fact I was sitting next to my high school crush who is also a thief with powers took my mind of it.
"Does he-he know?" I asked.
"Who know what!?" Jasmine replied.
"Does Jus-Justin know your a mute-mutant?" I corrected. She lets out a loud sigh.
"Yeah, everyone does."
