*Kay, if she doesn't post in the next few days, I'm going to ask her if I can take control of Sabine. She and Selena could be twins since they have the same power...*
*Gah sorry, I'm on holiday. I managed to get in to sneak some internet, but I won't be posting much for a while.*
"So, what do we do now?" I asked. Circus and Selena were ahead of me. I fiddled with the tennis ball a bit, wondering what they were thinking. It wasn't as if I could see their faces.
"I guess... back to our room?" Selena suggested. I heard somebody shrug and I followed suit.
"That sounds fine. What do we do there?" Circus asked.
"Well," I said. "How about we think of that when we get there?"
"Sounds good to me. Now let's go."
There once was a cat. He wasn’t particularly fat. Fuzzy was his favorite mat. And really, that was that.
Oh, but did you really think so? Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show! And as for how far this tale will go… Well, even the cat doesn’t know.
"It's honestly not bad. He's was letting us off light." She reminded me.
"Yes, but it's a wound to our pride." I told her.
"Yes, It is. I'm really tired. Have they handed out schedules yet? Or is this just a starter day to give us some slack?"
"I think it's to figure out which kids they need to watch. No, haven't got my schedule. I'm taking German though. "
"Cool. Dunno for me."
"I'm really bored." I announced.
"Great... well so am I, I guess."
"I going to see what other people are doing. They've kind of left us to do whatever we'd like. It seems like it at least."
I walked out and tripped over a foot. It was Nick. Idiot. I stood up and grumbled. I hated his guts right now. I glared at him and he was momentarily sent into a scene of chaos and fire while I brushed myself off. I wish I had a more physical power. One that would hurt more when I threw it at someone. I only have psychological powers.

**Wait, is it three days or a week's detention? Because both posts say three days, but then the two posts after that say a week's detention. I'm going to go with three days for now, since that was in the proper ones.**
Ben
Well, even if they had been caught and given three days of detention, that had certainly been eventful. He'd even been annoyed enough to change someone's structure, no matter how temporarily.
He yawned, "So what now?"
Lee was still glowering, apparently having taken the whole fight a little more personally than the rest of them. Ben was annoyed, yes, and he certainly didn't like this Natasha girl, but Lee seemed really mad.
Nick smirked, "Hm. How's this for what's next?" He muttered, stopping in front of Natasha and Sabine's room and sticking his foot out.
"Now hold on," said Ben, "How is that going to help-"
He was cut off as the door opened and Natasha stepped out, tripping over and then glaring at Nick. A moment later, Nick looked like he was trying to put out a nonexistant fire on his clothes. Ben sighed and leaned against a wall. He'd rather not get involved in a second fight today. Although if Natasha turned on him, or one of the others who hadn't started this latest bout, he wouldn't hesitate to liquefy her.

I was so frustrated that I'd gotten in trouble on the first day. If I got kicked out, that would basically be it for my superhero career because I don't know anyone else who has powers. My entire family is normal. Plus my dad would be pissed. Going to normal schools before I'd gotten kicked out plenty of times. But I promised him I would behave this time.
So when Nick tripped Natasha, I really had to fight against getting involved. I couldn't afford another fight in the same day. I was so tempted to make her body dissappear, though. That always freaks people out.
"Guys, twice in one day?" I said behind gritted teeth.
"What? Loosing your crazy?" Jack asked.
"I'll go crazy on you if you don't shut up," I joked. "Alright, I'm getting out of here. I can't get in trouble again. Anyone who wants to can come with me." I said and walked off. Nick would be fine without me. If he hadn't started it, or if it had been real fire or something, I would have stood up for him. But he was asking for it, so I didn't feel bad leaving.
*Sorry, I guess we posted at the same time! Haha, ok, pretend like those last two posts are flipped order*
Lee
"Oh, hi. Yeah, I don't know how I managed to do that already," I answered. I might've told someone to watch where they're going if they bumped into me like that, but I had to make up for getting into a fight, and try to get on someone's good side. At least someone that wasn't in the same boat as me. Plus, I still didn't know who my roommate was, maybe it was her.
She laughed quietly, and we stood there a little awkwardly.
"Hey, do you know who else is in room 107? I don't know who my roommate is still."
"Oh thats ok. People do it all the time! We could always ask the principal..." I started to say but then remembered.
"Any other ideas? I just came from there." Lee said, groaning.
"Well, I've gotten a pretty good feel for campus so I could show you where 107 is if you want." I said, smiling.
Lee shrugged and we both walked down the hall.
"105.....106....107!" I said, grinning but then frowned.
A huge sign on the door said "MOLD: Keep Out."
I heard Lee grumble something. Then I got an idea.
"Hey, you can always room with me! And Emmalee and Circus of course. There's actually an extra bed. Its a pretty big room actually." I said, cheerful again.
"Oh thats ok. People do it all the time! We could always ask the principal..." I started to say but then remembered.

"Alright, but you might want to check with your other roommates first. I can be kind of rough," I admitted.
"I'm sure it's fine."
"No, really. I can say really stupid shit I shouldn't say."
I wanted to make sure I'd given her fair warning.
"You don't have anywhere else to go, though. Don't worry about it."
"Alright. But just tell me if I'm being a bitch. I'll back off."
"Ok, c'mon." I followed her down the hallway to my new room. In a way I'd hoped she would say nevermind. I mean, I'm used to just living with my dad and brother. a room with three other girls? Let's just say I wasn't really looking forward to it.
I laid on my bottom bunk reading a book. The dresser lamp was the only thing on and it barely illuminated anything. My pajamas were comfy and I glanced at Emmalee who was probably trying to sleep. She had the blankets pulled up to her chin and was staring at the ceiling.
"Is the light bothering you?"I asked reaching for the switch.
"Hmm? No. Actually I didn't even notice it..."she answered her voice dragging to a whisper. If she was so tired how could she have not noticed the light? Plus she was sleeping with her eyes open so far. Weird.I decided to ignore it.
Selena still wasn't back from showing Lee to her room. I could hear distant chatter and footsteps getting closer and my hand instinctively reached for the switch. It flickered for a second before going completely off. Immediately I threw myself under the covers and pretended to sleep. The door opened with a squeak and female voices were audibly hushing each other.
"I think they're asleep, Lee."It was Selena.
"Selena?"I asked sitting up too fast. My head came in contact with the top bunk-hard.
If I can impact one person, just one, with my writing before I die, then I've lived a great life
I told Ben I was going out to get some fresh air. After all I didn't need to help Nick infact the video I got of him on my phone dansing around might go on YouTube.
I walked around the school taking it in. Some seniors had come and beaten the crap out of at least I'd maneged to get one of them by flipping him up spinning him around and then sent him spralling into the girls changing rooms.
