Superhuman: Awakening

Chapter 6

(Nick)

"Come on Nick, you worry too much" Quinn said as I sat next to her in Algebra class. I have been having a lingering bad feeling that something was going to happen. It started this morning when I was riding to school with Elana.

"Quinn you know how many times my hunches have been right in one way or another... this feels no different" I said to her, and she just shrugged.

"Maybe it's not as bad as you think it'll be"

"And how do you know this?"

Quinn looked at me, trying to piece together what to say in response. Her extremely short dirty auburn-red hair wasn't as messy as it usually was, and her dark brown eyes closed with a sigh as she just decided not to answer. Just as I thought.

"I'm sure things will be just fine, besides even if something really bad happens the Superhuman force is usually good at handling the problem" Chase said to me, and I just chuckled at that for a second.

"They have to decide which 'threat' their gonna fight first" I said to them and then we all started snickering. At this point humanity saw the Superhumans of both sides like politicians clashing each other for election as president, but with actual physical violence.

In one way or another they do defend the U.S, but they do it mainly out of bragging rights towards each other to call out which side is better and to add more Supernaturals to their army.

The U.S has become a more corrupt nation than it once was, and it is now at the level that all corrupt nations once were, well... back when it was more prevalent. The U.S had become the very thing it swore to fight, and it is very ironic nowadays because us citizens don't know what side to choose anymore.

At this point, we all see this fight and being involved in it as a pointless battle, a pointless war as I would like to put it.

My life has always been normal, but that also made it kind of boring to. I have always wished that I would be some type of Superhero, and I wished that some days the X-Gene can be active in Males as well as Females. However, at the rate it is going at now we all know that is unlikely to happen any time soon.

So far though, it is just another boring day at school in the year 4018-4019. The teacher saw us mumbling to each other instead of working on our digital assignments and she called our names. "Nikola, Quindoline, Chase. Come see me after class" The teacher said to us, and I already knew we were going to get a detention for the second time this month.

It's not our fault we can't talk, if we sit near each other or even in the same room we are bound to talk or get distracted one way or another. Great, now my parents are going to be pissed at me for getting another detention.

I'm betting in their eyes I just seem like the bad twin, the one who is always getting into trouble. They were wrong about that however, I just happened to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I have terrible luck.

This instance was just another example of this fact.

"Aww man, my parents aren't going to like this..." Chase remarked in a whisper.

You and me both, I thought to myself, mentally agreeing with him.

"My parents don't care; they understand what is going on with me. Besides, they hate this old bat of a teacher anyway" Quinn said in the same whispering tone.

Read my mind again Quindoline, I thought again while holding back a snicker.

My parents may think Elana is the more intelligent one, which isn't completely wrong, but what they don't know about me is that I see more than I am supposed to, and I hear/listen more than I speak.

I know more than others think I do, and my friends know this well, and extremely well.

My instincts are also very uncanny, and they have been this way since I was little. My parents and my sister were questioning if I was some sort of psychic because I always accurately predict a future event with just a hunch. They may think I am, but I doubt it; I just call it an uncanny instinct.

I sighed and just went back to work, attempting to get as much of it done as I could so I didn't have homework to do... I have enough to do tonight as it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the teacher gave me and my friends a stern talking to and the threat of calling our parents, I walked out of the room to head to gym class with Quinn and Chase following me. This was the only class we all had with Elana, and we called this the only good part of the day.

The gym teacher is pretty fun, well usually, and he knows how to work with teenagers pretty well. He used to be a psychologist before he became a teacher, so he usually knows when something is wrong and can diagnose what it is even though he isn't a psychologist anymore.

The gym teacher would also let us do pretty much any activity we wanted, so this class was like a freebee type of class. He would also let us pick our own groups as well, and I would go for my usual group; Elana, Quinn, and Chase. That is how it has always been.

Quinn, Chase, and I walked into the gym class and walked into the locker rooms to get changed. I saw Elana outside the girl's locker room, and I was assuming that she was waiting to see if me and the others were coming or not.

That was... until I realized something. After a few seconds, I saw a familiar dirty blonde haired, green-hazel-eyed girl walking into the locker room with Elana... Mia Parker. She wasn't in our gym class, what was she doing here?

Things are not what they seem, civilian, a strange voice said in my head. I couldn't make out whose voice it was though. Whatever it was, my instincts were acting up again like they would usually only do if something bad was about to happen.

Oh gods... what now?! I thought to myself, now knowing this normal day was most likely going to be ruined. Great, as if I couldn't ask for this day to be normal as well... the gods gave me a sign that things are gonna get interesting.

Why do you hate me life? I thought to whatever higher power was there. All I could do was sit and watch the things I couldn't control.

That's what I hated the most.
