I fastened up my dark brown hair so that it was out of my eyes as I applied black eyeliner to the creases. I quickly got dressed, being sure not to forget anything, as I slid on a black shirt that read ‘No’ across the chest. My pants were gray and skin-tight. I had to wear a belt to keep it up because the hipline was too short on my long legs.
Today I was going to the mall with some of my friends, who were also in a superhero alliance. Our official name is the Dead Meme Assault Squad or DMAS, but we’re normally referred to as Off Topic or OT.
The mall was about a mile from my house, so I rode my bike there. When I arrived only one of my fellow OT’ers was there, Andres, codename: LookedDownUpon. Andres is one of the longest members of OT, but he mainly goes unnoticed. The ironic part is that Andres’s power is that he can become invisible.
“Swiggity swere I am here.” I said
“Lanie! Hey! Do you know where the others are?”
“Probably doing something cancerous.”
“I figured.” Andres sighed
My name is Lanie. I’m 15 years old and am in 10th grade along with Andres. I like to think that I’m the leader of the group, but I know that that isn’t true. My codename is PartehPoison and I can withstand radioactive fumes, chemicals, fire, you name it.
20 minutes had passed, and just as Andres and I were about to leave, one of my best friends, Violet, walked up to us.
“Hey.” Violet greeted in a monotone voice
“Hey! How are you?” I smiled
“I could be worse. Sorry that I’m late, traffic, you know?”
“Yeah, I understand.”
Violet was also among the leaders of OT, but we haven’t made anything official. Violet’s codename is Brightview, and she can control dark matter. A whole bunch of people give Violet crap for being ‘emo’ or ‘seeking attention’, but I still think she’s great.
“Just us?” Violet asked Andres and I
“For now.” Andres said
“Wait, I think I see Tha Swak Ministre.” I said, a bit too loudly. I waved my hands at Tha Swak Ministre until I got his attention
“Ayy lmao” He said. He always sounded high.
Tha Swak Ministre or Jumblebee was the closest to a leader that we have.
“Dammit.” Violet mumbled
“What?” Jumblebee and Andres asked in unison
“Cute is here.”
“Dammit.” All of us repeated in complete sync
Cute, or Cutewombat was the worst of all of us. She was 10 and doesn’t realize that OT is not a place for little kids, but she never listens. Cute still thinks that she’s the leader, and tries to trade Silly Banz with Jumblebee.
“Haaaaayyy!!!” Cute greeted us, not taking her eyes out of the Rainbow Loom bracelet she was weaving
“Hello, Cute.” Violet sighed
“Omg dude, you seem HELLA depressed. I like cats. lol I’m so random!!!”
“Dammit.” I repeated under my breath
Our final member was yet to arrive, but after about 4 more minutes of waiting he showed up. Zachary, or cbsonic, was a kid that Violet babysits and demanded to join OT or else he would tell his mom that he touched him.
“Fart” Zachary said
