It had been three weeks since my parents had told me I was a superhero. I was ecstatic. Of course, they didn't let us do anything but train until today. Tonight was our first mission. I like to call it a mission, but it's really just patrolling the highest crime-populated area of the town. Our town is small, so nothing bad ever happens from the residents. It is the criminals from outside our little bubble that screw it up. Tonight, Jax and I will start to fix that. 

However, we still have to go to school. I thought it would be harder to keep the secret after my parents had let us become superheroes, but I was wrong. It was almost easier. Before, I had all this built up anxiousness to tell someone, but now that I had, it felt like I was done. I did not need to tell anyone else. The secret brought our friend group closer together. We had a secret that only we knew, and it was exhilarating. 

Today, I woke up on time. Things were looking good. Which means things were about to go horribly wrong. We just can not get a break.

"Breakfast!" Mom yelled from downstairs.

"Coming!" I said as I was running down the stairs.

You see, four weeks ago, I would have covered the entire railing in ice, but not anymore. I was free from the curse that was my fear of my other side. Khione and I are friends now. No, we are sisters. 

When I got downstairs, Jax was already there. I do not know how he is always so punctual! Even with me waking up on time, he still arrives everywhere before me! 

"Hey, frosty," Jax said.

I turned my eyes blue/white just to scare him. Obviously, it worked. 

"Ha!" I laughed, "You should see your face! It's priceless!"

"Shut up," He murmured.

"Guys, can we just have ONE morning without you two getting into a fight?" Mom asked.

"No," Jax and I answered at the same time.

Mom sighed. In response to that, Jax and I smiled. We had always done this; pushed Mom's buttons. In our defense, she was an easy target. Mom walked right into every single one of our smartass remarks. It was even better when Dad would laugh with us and get in trouble for it.

"Just eat and then get to school," Mom told us.

So, we did exactly what she told us. We eat our breakfast that she made us and went to school. Today, Jax and I decided to run to school. Well, we did not really decide, our parents did. It was part of our new training. To make it more fun, Jax and I made it a race. Whoever lost had to do whatever the winner wanted for the rest of the day. I know, we are evil geniuses. 

"I'm gonna win again," I said as I started to gain distance ahead of him. 

"In your dreams," Jax told me back as he passed me.
