Human Kid (II)

7.

            Recap of part 1;

"Can we not do this now?" Suzanne said as she put her spoon down.

She was trying to eat her cereal in peace but her parents, especially her dad, were lecturing her on how to behave once she got to Superhero High.

Her twin brother, Shane, laughed from where he sat.

"You mean they shouldn't lecture you on being a complete disappointment like you are?" he asked and laughed again.

"Shut up, Shane!" she snarled at him.

In a mild way it was true.

Suzanne O'Izzy was just an average kid, a clumsy kinda girl though with big dreams.

She so badly wanted to be the hero that everyone looked up to.

Luckily in her city, Herotapolis, there was an organization; Hero League, that could make her dream come true but first she and the others who were vying to be heroes had to go through a test known as the Thriox which consisted of three tests.

Oral. Written and Field.

But luck was on her side once more because she could never have passed any of the exams but during the period that her set was to take the exam, the rogue heroes; the heroes that became turncoats, attacked the Hero League and there was a great battle.

The battle went on for months and when Hero League finally won, they felt it as a duty to give Suzanne's set scholaships into Hero League in a commemorative gesture to celebrate their decision victory over the rouge heroes.

"You know, it's not even a crime to turn in early," Suzanne said and stood up, as she grabbed her bag which was placed on the floor beside her chair.

Andrew looked out of his window as a brunette bounced past his house.

She then tripped on her shoelace and fell into a muddy puddle below her.

He scoffed and closed his curtain.

Such a klutz. He thought.

"Andrew! Your Dad's giving you a ride!" his mum annouced as she barged into his room.

He slightly turned to face her. "I don't need one."

"Whether you need one or not is not my business! Get downstairs now!" she ordered and walked out of the room, the fragnace of her perfume trailing after her.

Andrew sighed and grabbed his green belt and put it on.

He glanced at the mirror once more and adjusted his headphones.

Though they looked normal, he had programmed them to hear conversations within a three mile radius distance.

With a click of his rocket boots, he was out of the room.

"Three minutes tops! Good," his dad nodded as he checked his silver-rimmed wrist watch as soon as Andrew entered the car.

Andrew turned to the window and did a sour face. His dad was always too time conscious.

"Well if it isn't Suzanne!" a girly voice snickered and Suzanne frowned as she turned to face her high school nemesis, Annabelle.

Annabelle was seated on the seat opposite Suzanne's. They were both in a bus.

The two girls glared at each other meanly.

Suzanne recalled what had happened back in school when they were told to submit their Hero League application forms.

"Hurry Kid," the D-rank that was assigned to collect the forms in Milton High, Suzanne's school, tapped his foot impatiently as Suzanne bent over her backpack in her class.
