Nobody's Battle

Chapter 3

Warning long boring filler chapters alert :3Your probably wondering what happened to me after I got caught fighting huh? Basically I got yelled at for "starting" the fight and injuring two students. He called our parents or whoever was in charge of the household meaning my brother and I had to explain what happened. I didn't mention the colours though. And well, I start classes off campus today instead of next week but whatever. It's not like there's any difference. I'm still Nobody after all. Your also probably wondering why no one came to help. Well turns out there was a pep rally at the Gym and those three Neanderthals decided to bail on it. Still I felt thrilled at the prospect of my new abilities. I felt powerful for once, in control. But there was also fear creeping in my mind. If I lose control I could cause harm. Blitz's arm was splintered at the bone and he had a few cases of internal hemorrhaging. "Arkyer" Tyre said propelling me out of my thoughts, "Schools starting in an hour you better get moving" "Yeah" Ever since mom died Tyre has been my so called guardian but the real reason he bothers staying is because he knows that I am capable of destroying his whole entire life with one small secret. I headed out the door and realized I couldn't see colours around objects anymore. I'm still puzzled as to why I could see and manipulate them. Maybe I possessed telekinesis although that doesn't explain why the colours manifested because as far as I know, there are no recorded documents about it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Knock knock, I opened the door to my first period class. "Hello you must me Arkyer, I'm Ms. Karly. Welcome to the studies of superhuman abilities." A high pitched voice spoke from the desk. I was shocked which must have seemed weird but I'm not used to people calling me by my name. Ms. Karly walked over to me. She had a slender figure, glasses, and her brown hair was tied back in a ponytail. She had equipped with her a white jacket which made her look like a researcher instead of a teacher. "Don't be shy, why don't you go sit next to Callum and Eros." She gestured towards a seat next to a pale kid in wearing all black. Even his hair was midnight black and it covered his eyes. He emitted a uneasy vibe, like being alone in a graveyard at midnight and seemed to cause everything around him to darken. The kid next to him had on a hood and his head in his arms and seemed to be asleep. I muttered thanks to Ms. Karly and went to sit in between both of them. Except for a few people not many people payed any attention. Ms. Karly went up to the board and cleared her throat. "Can anyone tell me what is the diff- Almost forgot class this is Arkyer Davis and he is transferring here from the main building." I heard a few remarks from the other students, mostly being about how I was a fail or wondering what got me placed in here. "Now then, can someone tell me what is the difference between cryokinetics and particle deceleration?" I raised my hand. "Cryokinesis is the act of generating and manipulating ice while particle deceleration is causing and object to slow down." I heard a few snickers around me. "Nerd" or "Know-it-all". Its not that I was smart, rather I learned all of these in combat strategy class last month. "Also a common misconception is that people tend to confuse particle deceleration to cryokinesis because of the ice-like substance that coats those whom are affected by it. This actually has nothing to do with cryokinetics but is actually caused by the atomic particles slowing down so much that they fall into a stasis like stage." I turned to see an Asian girl. She had pale skin, red lips, and silky black hair with a lotus blossom woven into it. She looked stunning, like Snow White mixed with a Chinese Princess. Her voice reminded me of a the flute. Light and Melodic. "Impressive you two" Ms. Karly said "Most people don't even know what particle deceleration is, being a rare power and all. Now do you have any questions?" I taught about the colours I saw. What where they and what ability was it? I raised my hand again. "Yes Arkyer." "Have you ever heard of people seeing colours around objects and being able to kinda reach out, not physically, but like, well I don't know, feel them and them pull on them causing the object to move?" "Well...." Ms. Karly looked confused. "Well when I was growing up I read an articles about a man who had something like that. They said he had psionics, but he died 78 years ago. No one has appeared with that ability in about 50 years ago making it extinct." "Oh" I said, feeling deflated. Guess what happened yesterday was something else. Still there are rumors of undiscovered abilities and ones that are being kept secret by the government. Maybe I might be a "pioneer" or someone who possess a undocumented ability. "Hey, you paying attention?" Callum waved his hand in front of my face. "Ms. Karly was is talking about the upcoming tournament. You zoned out so I was wondering if you where ok." "I'm fine, but what about the tournament? You guys always lose anyway." Shit, probably the wrong thing to say. Callum's expression darkened "Oh sorry, I forgot your one of those "heroes." "Sorry I didn't mean it like that. I-" He cut me off. "The reason why we keep losing is because of that attitude. Most of us don't bother to sign up because people at this place don't want to get beaten to a pulp. Those so called heroes at the main building are nothing more than a bunch of stuck up bastards." "Uhhhhh, hey what's up?" A voice from behind said. "Nothing much, Eros, just talking to the new kid." Callum said. I turned around and said "Hey, what's- It's you." I found myself facing the pathokinetic from yesterday. "Hey Nobody." He flashed that crooked grin. "Nobody?" Callum questioned. "That's what everyone at the main building calls me" I replied. "It's caus-" RIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGG The bell rang for next period. "Bye class don't forget to sign up for the tournament" Ms. Karly screeched.
I walked out the door and head to 2nd period.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of the classes passed by fast. Most people didn't pay me much attention although I had a few classes with Eros, Callum, and that Asian girl I didn't bother talking to them and kept to myself. Just as the bell for lunch rang a voice boomed "EROS, CALLUM, ALIXE, PIERCE, DIAMOS, ARKYER YOU ARE WANTED AT THE MAIN OFFICE!!!!!" What is it now? I thought. I turned and realized I had no idea where to go. "Your Arkyer right? I'm Alixe and this is my boyfriend Pierce. The main office is this way. You signed up for the tournament too?" I turned around and saw the Asian girl from earlier. I took the boy next to him as Pierce. He was built like a jock. He had golden hair and multiple piercings on his ear. His eyes were an icy blue. "No I didn't" I replied. "Well someone must've or else you wouldn't be called to the meeting." She said. "When teams are chosen they are called into a meeting and we come up with a name go through the official registration. Anyway we should go. Just follow us." She strode ahead with Pierce and I stuck behind. I couldn't stand the way people where looking at us. I guess Alixe and Pierce are the popular kids here. A few minutes later we walked into the office. Everyone else was already there, including a kid that had gauges and a ton of bracelets on his risk. He looked up and his brown eyes where filled with pain. It was like he'd been through hell. His face had a long two long scars that formed an X across his face. "Hey Daimos." Piece said. "This is Arkyer." Daimos just nodded with uttering a word. He reminded me of an abandoned puppy."Hey Arkyer I signed you up for the tournament." Eros said. I shot him a withering glare. "What the fuck man? I didn't say I wanted to be in it." Everyone turned towards Eros. "Well Alixe said she senses you had power and we need someone like you to help us win." "Power?" I asked her. Good everyone's here" A voice said. Mr. Adams walked through the door. "Hello Arkyer, how do you like this place?" He spoke calmly but I could tell he didn't exactly like us. I didn't respond so he continued. "Well since you guys are of the few teams to sign up here, so you get to be in the tournament without any extinction matches, which you as know are used to determine the best teams in the main SPT building. Just sign these and return them tomorrow." And with that, he walked away. Callum didn't look at me so I could tell he was pissed and seeing how abruptly Mr. Adams left I could see why the kids on this campus weren't really fond of me. They get treated like shit. We sat in silence for a while and I could sense that everyone was picking up on the tension. "Sooooo how about we meet at my place a after school. We can plan everything there" Pierce said. We responded with a chorus of agreement. "Aight, yo Arkyer If your wondering how to get to my place, just turn left after your leave the school. Go straight until you reach the park and from their make a right. I live on the red one." "Ok" I replied. We went out separate ways after that.
