Needing A Hero

It was supposed to be a fun afternoon, riding rides and eating overpriced food at the carnival. But unfortunately life had other plans for Esmeralda.

Once she arrived home she was put to work, as she cleaned the room she found a ring and foolishly put it on. One scare later and she finds out that the ring has given her powers.

She thought she wouldn't be able to cope with what life had given her, but then her siblings found out and she realized that she would be able to do anything she set her mind to.

... Even if it was just trying to survive senior year.

"I can't believe this," Sierra said as she began pacing, "you're her, you the one can barely talk to the teacher and is scared of strangers." She sat down putting her phone away.

I smiled a guilty smile as I felt unsure on what to do pulling my hood off and a mask I had found in my room the other day.

I hadn't given Sierea too much credit where it was due and had no idea just how quick she would put the pieces together.

"You caught on quick," I finally said, "how?"

She smiled and said "only you would think I wouldn't remember your outfits, and you missed like a lot events where 'she' happened to show up."

"You don't seem that freaked out, " I noted at how calm she looked.

"You're kidding right? I just found out my best friend is a super hero I'm like dying over here," She fanned her face, "but sadly I'm also running on like two hours of sleep so. "

I walked up to her worries she'd faint, with a smile she fell unconscious, I barely managed to catch before she hit the pavement.
