Secret Powers

Chapter 6

Hello! I know I said I would write a lot during winter break, but I didn't have my laptop all last week. I just got back from Oahu! I needed a vacation. Now back to the story. This chapter is a little farther in time than the last one. I have a question: Do you want me to stop writing author's notes before and after chapters? That's all! Comment! Vote! Add to your library! Happy reading!

It has been two weeks since my friends had found out about the tattoo. So far, I've avoided my parents finding out. There were a couple close calls, but Jax distracted them. Don't tell Jax this, but I'm really grateful for having a twin brother like him. Jax and I decided to wait off until the end of the school year to do more superhero stuff. After summer, we're going to stop until the end of senior year. It is just too complicated to continue doing it during the school year. We are just going to be normal teenagers with normal teenage problems for as long as possible. 

Right now it is parent-teacher conference week, and I'm waiting at home with Jax for our parents to come back. I'm not worried about my teachers saying anything bad to our parents. Even with all that has been going on, I have still been able to keep my grades up. Jax is the same. 

"How much longer do you think it will be?" Jax moaned. 

"I don't know, but what should we do for the rest of the time?" I asked him.

"I don't know. Wait! I got it! Why don't we play truth or dare?" he asked.

"With two people? That's kind of useless," I  answered.

"We could invite Lucy, Caitlin, Lux, Lucas, and Cole over," Jax suggested.

"Sure, whatever. But this better not end up like the last time we played truth or dare," I said.

He texted them right away. If I didn't know any better, I would think he was waiting for a chance to do this. Who am I talking about? Of course was waiting for the right moment to offer a game!

"They'll be here in five minutes," Jax put his phone down. 

"Ok," I said.

I have no idea why I always agree to these games. It never ends good.

"We're here!" Lucy yelled as our friends walked into the house. 

"How did you get in?" I asked.

"I got a key copied months ago," she answered casually.

"Of course you did. I'm such an idiot for assuming different," I muttered.

We all got situated in the living room. Our couch goes in a half-circle with corners. I sat on the left corner and Lucy and Lux sat next to me. Jax, Lucas, and Cole sat on the other end. I always liked the corner because it was, in my opinion, the most comfortable spot on the entire couch. Now, back to my torture!

We all decided that we would start on the girls' end and move along the line towards the boys' side. Doing it that way, the first person to go would be Lux. I wasn't that scared because she was the most merciful when it came to this game. I should have known that I can't ever be too hopeful about anything nowadays.
