Power

Principals Office

"If you don't mind please follow me?" The teacher spoke grabbing our hands and pulling us. Why did she ask if she was gonna take us away anyways? I looked over at him and he grimaced.

"This is all your fault," I said glaring at him. He started all of this. If he wasn't so confident in his own power then we would be fine.

"What the even?! How is this my fault? You're an idiot. What exactly did I do wrong?" He said looking at me with the 'excuse me' look you would expect on a stereotypical gay guy.

"I don't know maybe because you're so dumb." I said and he laughed at me, then reached over with his free hand and flicked me.

"Did you just flick me?! What is wrong with you? Don't touch me you heathen!" I said as I reached over and thumped him on the head.

"Do you want to go? I will kick your as* right now? You're no match for me." He said and ripped his hand from the teacher. He activated his powers while glaring at me. I ripped my hand away from the teacher and activated his powers as well.

"Yea let's go! You think you can win, I'm about to mop this floor with you, ya scumbag." I said to him before I knew it we were absorbed into two separate purple bubbles, far away from each other.

"Both of you need to stop! This is why you can't be partners! You two better watch your language or I'm gonna put a lock on your powers." She yelled and continued walking with us floating behind her. I absorbed enough of her power and created a bubble in hers. I expanded the bubble that it shattered, I undid my bubble and fell to the ground. I noticed that the teacher was talking to herself and didn't notice. I flipped off Blake with a sweet smile. He was shocked and started beating on the bubble like a gorilla in a cage. Then I walked up to the teacher and quietly walked behind her. When we showed up at our destination she turned around and screamed.

"H-Ho-How did you get out? Those bubbles stop any use of power inside. There is no way you could've broke it." She said as she let Blake down.

"She has been out for a while. I tried telling you but nooooo someone had to put me in a bubble. Real mature teach." Blake spoke rudely to the teacher.

"How about you shut your mouth. You can't speak to a teacher like that. Apologies." I said sternly staring at him.

"What do you want me to do shut my mouth or apologize, you idiot." He said laughing at me as he walked into the room. I followed behind him stepping on the back of his heels. He stopped and swiftly turned around causing me to run into his chest. He is like a frikin wall, it's stupid ridiculous. I would've fallen if he didn't wrap his hands around my waist.

"I would stop before I get angry." He spoke as he leaned in. We were so close I could feel my heart racing, my cheeks heated up, but I didn't want him to know.

"Only then you might be able to beat me," I said stepping back and pushing his hands off me. I stepped past him with my face down. I sat in a chair in front of the desk. That's when I realized we were in an office. That can only mean one thing, we were in serious trouble.

"If I get in trouble I'm gonna beat you," I said as I reached over and punched his arm. He didn't even flinch, he just glared at me.

"You're not in trouble, we just need to discuss some important details. Blake your ranking is an 8. Rose is a 1.5, so-" He said but was rudely interrupted.

"You're only a 1.5 and you think you can beat me?! You're trash, get out of my sight I need a new partner." Blake shouted looking at me disgustingly. I reached over and punched him again.

"Well if you knew my power you would be scared to face me. To me, you are the chump of lower status." I said and he laughed at me I was gonna hit him again when my hands were put into a straight jacket magically. Blake started laughing until his lips were sealed shut literally. I smiled at the fact that I didn't have to listen to him anymore.

"She isn't wrong when using her powers against you she is easily an 8 or 9. However, since your ratings are so high when competing with others you will be practicing in the junior section. Their material is a better fit for you two to duke it out. I'm down to see you fight, I'm not down for seeing my school get ripped into pieces, so if either of you is caught fighting each other with powers outside of the designated area you will be expelled. As for you, Ms. Summers, you are not allowed to fight anyone over the level of 6, it will cause chaos and havoc. Since the school doesn't band fighting, you can't fight anyone overpower rank 6, unless you are in the junior or senior fighting are all." She spoke and I was a bit irritated, why do I get punished for being awesome? Shouldn't Blake get some sort of punishment too?

"Blake doesn't get punished because he can't absorb other powers. You know better than anyone that if two hot heads as yourself got into a fight it would destroy at least half of our wonderful school." He spoke and Blake seemed shocked when the mistress spoke of my power.

"Yes, ma'am I understand. Can I go now?" I asked feeling really glum, I didn't want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to go to my room. She nodded and got undid Blake's lips. I absorbed her power and got rid of the restraints. I could've done that a while ago, but in order to follow rules, I didn't. I rushed out of the room, the only thing in my mind was what Indira said. 'Isn't that like cheating? Don't you have the power of your own.' I kept walking down the hall thinking about that before someone grabbed my hand and pulled me back.

"So you absorb others powers and use it against them? That's kind of sick, you don't even have the power of your own. Do you have to use my power to beat me? Ha, pathetic!" Blake said as he held onto my arm. I looked him in his eyes and glared at him.

"Back off," I said and I ripped my hand away from his grasp. I walked away quickly hoping he wouldn't follow me. Thankfully he didn't, I made it all the way to my dorm before anyone talked to me. Just as I was about to enter my room I saw a boy a bit younger than me, crying in a corner. My heart broke. His white hair covered his blue eyes that tears spilled from. He looked so small and fragile. I walked up to him and hugged him. As soon as I touched him it felt as if my energy was being retracted from my body but only for a second. Then it went away, but before I could hug him tighter he pushed me away.

"I don't want to drain you of your power!" He said as he continued to cry. That's why it felt like I was being drained for a second. Now that the power is gone he can't use it on me.

"If I don't have any powers, will it still hurt me?" I asked curiously, it made me think does me absorbing ability count as a power. I'm more of a bookshelf that holds the books. He shook his head no and I smiled, it's worth the shot, I thought. I reached forward and grabbed him, I felt nothing, but he pulled away too fast I couldn't tell.

"Didn't you hear me? I don't want to hurt you!" He yelled and people in the hall started to stare at us.

"Keep moving! There is nothing to see!" A familiar voice yelled down the hall and I rolled my eyes.

"I don't have powers, let's go hurry," I said grabbing his hand and pulling him up, then ran. He took the lead and then pulled me into a room down the hall from where we were.

"Two questions, one, why are we running? Two, why are you here if you don't have powers?" He asked as he bent over trying to catch his breath.

"One, there is a guy that was kind of mean to me, and I didn't want to see him. Two, I have powers just not a normal one, I guess." I said laughing at the term normal.

"I mean no powers are normal, but my power isn't really mine, I can absorb other powers and use it against them, so when I first touched you, you drained the power that I recently had. Now I have no powers of my own." I said explaining it to him and he looked a bit shocked.

"Watch this should work," I said as I raised my hand up as if to give a high five. He raised his hand and I grabbed it. Nothing happened except for his cheeks turning red. I guess I do have a superpower of my own. They can call me ultra flirt!

"Oh, it's so good to have someone here to touch. Gosh, I miss this. I haven't held anyone for a year. He said as he grabbed my hand and put it on his face. He snuggled into my hand and I couldn't help but smile in awe by his adorable action. I pulled him in and hugged him. I couldn't imagine what it's like never being able to touch anyone at all, people must resent him. We stayed like that until a bang came to the door. Scaring us apart. Please don't be who I think it is.
