E-squad

chapter 3

Mrs. Devoreux pressed play on the monitor's remote. The video was a recording of the hallway before the bell rang. A boy and girl ran to the bathroom.

"That's you." She pointed out. The camera then turned to the bathroom. And the girl got fire hair and the boy go-OMFG! That's me and Bolton! Wait... she just said that... She knows? I just stared at the monitor in awe. I looked at Bolton and he was pretty freaked out too.

"I understand you two are supernatural beings." Mrs. Devoreux said calmly.

"What?! Since WHEN!?" I shouted.

"Calm down. I understand that neither of you two were ready for this. But I have a proposal." She said

"What?" Bolton questioned.

"there is a school for superheroes, villains, magical creatures, whatever you may be. A school where you can channel your powers and fulfill your heroic destinies. I can already tell you both, that you're heroes."

"YES! IMMA SAVE DA WORLD" Bolton cheered.

"Settle down, Bolton." We have 1 week until the specialists comes for superhero try-outs. It's obvious what your powers are...."

"Lightning!?" Bolton yelled.

"Fire!?" I shouted back.

"Quiet! What I'm telling you is important. You must demonstrate your powers for them... And you can't do that unless you harness them." She said picking up two pamphlets. She handed them to us and walked out of the room.

"Ten more minutes for you two, and you may go. Read up, and don't disappoint me." She said closing the door. Bolton and I looked at each other. We started reading, and eventually finished. I liked the part about choosing your name... Didn't really know mine yet. I had to come up with before the specialists come though...

"Have you come up with your name yet, Bolton?" I asked him.

"YEA! It will be..." He paused for dramatic affect, "Bolt!"

"Really? That's it?! Just "Bolt" I would expect more from you." I said.

"well... what do you think? I'm gonna be "Captain Cloud" ?!" he complained

"Um... Yea... lets stick with Bolt..." I sighed

"YEA! So, what's yours?" he asked

"Haven't gotten a name yet..." I said shamefully

"REALLY?! You can come up with so many names for fire! Ferocious, Flame, torch, Inferno..." he continued on with multiple names relating with fire. But then, I stopped him.

"rewind a couple." I said, gesturing a rewind with my hands.

"Torch?" he asked.

"no, after that." I said, gesturing again.

"oh... Inferno?" he asked.

"YEA! Lets do that!" I exclaimed, "It gives me that 'powerful, and cool' kinda sound."

Then we realized that it was time for us to go. We walked our separate ways, and went home like any "normal" day.

Sorry it was so short... i try to work on it every chance i get... but school just has to come along and be all like "Hey brah, imma ruin ur chances to be a great author" THAT DOUCHE
