Meet The Ultimates

I never found my fame that extraordinary.I just considered myself someone who had interesting opinions.Thats why people read my blog.Anyone could express how they feel about the crime some American football player commited or the hottest song on the charts.I just happened to be the one.

I just happened...to be lucky.

I found myself face down on a desk.I didn't remember passing out.That was the first thing that confused me.The second thing that confused me was why I was on a desk in the first place.That would mean that I was in a class room.I only remembered my first step into Hopes Peak,not walking around into the classroom I was now situated in.

I suppose I passed out and Chihiro had someone carry me here, I thought.The thought immediately made sense.After all I had never passed out before.For all I knew no one remembers fainting.And Chihiro was right in front of me.She didn't seem like the type to leave someone passed out on the ground.

It was then I noticed a poorly drawn pamphlet on the desk beside me.It very much resembled the scribblings of a two year old child.In bright blue crayon it read:

ALL NEW STUDENTS ARE TO SIGN IN FOR THE ENTRANCE CEREMONY IN THE GYMNASIUM AT NINE O'CLOCK

I looked at the clock on the wall and gasped.It was already eight fifty five!

I dashed out of the classroom through the purple halls(which I did take note of being odd for a school but I pushed it out of my mind)looking for a door that could resemble one to the gym.Eventually I came across a door with a sign that read GYM.Taking the time to straighten my thick rimmed glasses and skirt,which had gotten messed up in my running.I dusted off my blazer.Taking a deep breath, I walked into the gym.

And immediately felt like leaving.

The Ultimates.All of them...in their ultimate-ness.The only words that could describe them would be,"colorful."A guy with very feminine hair, a girl wearing a large assortment of colored patches on her uniform,a guy wearing a racing uniform(?!)and more.Some guy with a bow and a sheath of arrows(!!!)on his back,a girl carrying a small black case,and one girl who wasn't even wearing a uniform, but some sort of brightly colored body suit!It seemed everyone had arrived before me.Every head in the gymnasium turned towards me.

I had never felt more terrified than I had at that moment...and I sat through "The Grudge"!

"So that would make all sixteen of us."said a voice from the back.

"How do you know there won't be anymore?"asked the girl wearing the body suit who was previously sitting crisscross applesauce.

"I suppose sixteen would be a nice round number for a class"said a small guy walking up to the front.

"But still wouldn't it be possible for more students to be in our class?"asked a girl whose face I couldn't see through the crowd.

"But I think if we were to have any more students they would have chosen to show up ON TIME."The girl who said that was wearing a white blouse, short black skirt and a red tie.She seemed to mean business.

Everyone mumbled their agreement and I silently cursed myself for still managing to be late.

"H-hey."squeaked the girl I had noticed earlier who was carrying the black case.All eyes turned to her and she seemed to shrink inside herself.I was forcefully reminded of Chihiro,who I had noticed wasn't present."W-we all al-lready introduced o-ourselves to each other b-but she hasn't."

"True."said the boy who spoke before but I still couldn't see.

I saw some shuffling in the group, and out walked a boy with short black hair and dark eyes.His facial features were sharp and he had a fairly strong build and was a head taller than me,and he seemed particular to dark colors wearing black slacks and a black blazer over a white dress shirt.His black loafers squeaked like new as he made his way toward me.He held his hand out and said,
