My Life As A Teenage Superhero

Chapter 2: Reborn

When I came to I was on a strange bed in an unfamiliar room, covered from head to toe in bandages. Suddenly heard tom's voice shouting "You're Up! " "Am I in the hospital? " I asked confused. Then I looked at my bandages and remembered the explosion. "H – How did I survive? "I asked tom in complete disbelief. "I don't know and that's a question not even the doctors can answer." Said tom smiling. "You're up said tom as he hugged me." How bad is it? I asked tom with tears building up in my eyes.

"Well, Kyle to be honest I don't really know, because you've been in bandages ever since the accident." Said tom shrugging "How long have I been out for?" I asked tom "Well Ky you've been out for two months. "Said, Tom." Two months!?" I yelled when suddenly my mom rushed into the room and hugged me. "Kyle! Thank Heavens You're Up!" said my mom crying as she hugged me repeatedly. As the days went by eventually I was well enough to be discharged from the school's hospital.

When I got home tom started to help me remove my bandages. I closed my eyes and he started to remove the bandages on my face. When I felt the last facial bandage removed, I opened my eyes and I saw tom was staring at me with an extremely concerned look on his face. "Umm...Kyle you might want to see this!" said tom as he handed me a mirror.

"When I looked into the mirror I was expecting to see burns...but that was the thing .... My face was completely normal, not a scar in sight. "Um...tom this isn't normal is it?" I asked in horror.

"Well, Kyle as much as I'd like to tell you it is.... it's not. "I've never heard of anything like this, we should notify the doctor!" said tom scared as he walked to the door. "No, no doctors, let's just keep this between us okay," I said as I held him back.

"Promise me tom, you won't tell anyone." I begged him "Okay, I promise, but if this becomes life-threatening don't say I didn't warn you." said Tom after a few seconds of internal conflict as he walked through the door.

Later that day after a few hours of sleep I decided to take a walk around campus, I was walking past the water fountain when suddenly I got knocked down by what felt like a sledgehammer. When I looked up there was the most beautiful redhead I've ever seen offering me a hand up.

"I'm so sorry, I was jogging and I was just distracted! "She said as she helped me up. "I – it's okay, pshaw that was totally my fault!" I said as I got up, trying to play it cool.

"Well since you're okay I guess I'll be going." said the redhead as she was putting in her headphones." WAIT, what's your name?" I asked "Its Charlotte, Charlotte Brunner.

"She replied smiling. "What yours handsome? "Kyle, Kyle Jackson! "I blurted out almost immediately smiling like an idiot because for once it seemed like a girl was actually interested in me.

Wait, you mean "The" Kyle Jackson?! "Said Charlotte surprised. Why, yes have you heard of me? "I replied in a very pompous way. "Yeah dude, like the whole school is talking about you, weren't you the guy who blew up himself?" she said slightly giggling.

*BAM*Pause. At this moment my chances went from 100 to 0 really quick, talk about a blow to the self-esteem. *Sheds a few tears* It tore me up inside honestly, I was so hurt.

Nah I'm just trolling, let's continue with the story.

Yeah, he that was me..." I said extremely embarrassed. "It's an honor to finally meet such a legend; alas I must continue my exercise." said charlotte laughing as she turned to go." Hey charlotte, you think we could hang out sometime? "I asked blushing

"Sure, I'll let you know when, until then try not to blow up yourself." She said smiling as she put in her headphone and resumed her jogging. "What a woman, I think I'm in love..." I said to myself as I watched her go.
