More than a student (Supercorp)

Thirteen

I haven't flown for a long time. Probably not since that time I flew Alex around Midvale a while ago. So I am a little rusty. I also have to make sure no one sees me or I'll have a lot of explaining to do.

Taking all of that into consideration, after I exit the school, I head round into an alleyway before checking the coast is clear, fastening the straps on my backpack, I take flight.

It's been a week since Miss Luthor and I almost kissed, another Friday again. Alex came over on Monday and we talked for a while, agreeing on Monday's becoming a day when she comes over due to it being a usually less busier day than other days at work.

The evening air is cool against my face. I fly higher into the clouds, making sure I'm not seen.

It is the most amazing feeling, being up in the sky. Away from everything. Away from all the worries.

It sure does clear my head.

It takes my breath away as the adrenaline starts kicking in and I finally feel free. The sight down below is amazing. It's nearly the most stunning thing I've ever seen. Almost.

The most stunning thing being Lena of course. Nothing can compare to her, not even seeing the earth beneath you.

Over the duration of the week I have accepted that I'm in fact attracted to her in more ways than one. And I can't seem to shake off the thoughts of what could've happened if Alex hadn't called me at that time.

I must've been up here for hours, as by the time I decide to go home, the sun is setting.

I can't help but feel sad.

Even as all my worries are left back on the ground, flying just makes me think of Krypton and life there. It reminds me that I'm different. I'm not normal and I'm the only one of two people that I'm aware of that can actually fly on this planet, with no help of a machine.

Memories of Krypton comes flooding back as I let a single tear fall from my eye. I wipe it away before landing on my porch, getting my key out and unlocking the door.

I slump over to the couch before falling back on it and just staying there for a while.

I remember my mother and father and the fun we use to have, all before it was taken away from me.

I can remember it all so clearly, as if it happened yesterday.

A few more tears leave my eyes, managing to fall freely, even through the effort I'm putting in to make sure they don't.

This is usually the part where Alex would come and embrace me in a tight hug, telling me it will all be okay. But Alex isn't here.

I wipe my tears away, deciding to order potstickers and ice cream.

After I finish eating my sorrows away, I decide it would be a good idea to get an early nights rest.

Just as I am about to get into bed, I hear my phone ping.

I groan to myself.

Winn:
Hey, you said to text you later?

Oh yeah, so I did.

Me:
I was just wondering if you wanted to do something at the weekend?

Winn:
Sure. We could ask if Sam and James want to come?

Me:
Ok. Could you ask them for me? I was just heading to bed.

Winn:
This early?

Me:
I'm tired!

Winn:
Ok, goodnight, see you tomorrow :)

I change into some pyjamas, some joggers and a baggy tank top. I then climb into bed. I close my eyes, trying to clear my head and think of things like puppies and donuts.

That is useless. All that is running through my head was Krypton. And the explosion.

I finally pass out.
