5: We Learn the Powers

The boys met us as soon as we got out into the hall, and Mr. Hart was leading them. I was surprised they didn't attack them, seeing as he had literally jabbed a needle into their arms the day before, but when I got closer I could see that they were fuming inside. I suppressed a smile when I saw Hawaii's grimace-slash-frown-slash-him-trying-to-keep-a-straight-face.

Emerald, who was standing right in front of me, turned around to face me and giggled.

"What?" I hissed.

"Nothing. Hey, do you want some food?" She handed me a piece of buttered toast. "This is breakfast, in case you couldn't tell."

She turned back around, and I took a giant bite out of the toast. I hadn't realized I was hungry, but it sure felt good to be actually eating some food.

The line turned into a room off the hall, and I followed, the boys right behind me. There was a row of chairs at the back, just like before, but this time desks accompanied them. Just like normal school. Wait, didn't we have gym class first?

"Good morning!" Miss. Demi said once we had all settled down into a random order of seats. Luckily, I was next to Contri. And the boy who was wearing the blue suit. "Now, the schedule will be a bit different today, seeing as it's your first day of actual class, so yes, you are supposed to be here right now. First up, we'll be doing some introductions. If you could tell us your name, your power, and a hobby, that would be great. You go first." She pointed to Emerald, who was at the far left, a couple seats down from me.

She stood up and swiveled around so she was facing everyone in the room at once. "My name is Emerald Quell. I have x-ray vision, which is awesome, because I can see things you can't. And I love to run." Emerald sat back down, and the next person took her place. It was Hawaii.

"I'm Dakota, I know the exact weather and temperature it will be tomorrow- 21 degrees Celsius, if you were wondering- and I play soccer all year round. Goalie."

And so someone else has a powers that sucks. I shouldn't have been very surprised, but I was almost happy that the first person to announce it was him. Contri stood up, and after her, it was me. I already knew what I was saying.

"Um, I'm Contri, and I can remember anything from what I've read. And I like to read, so it's kind of useful."

"I'm Lindy," I said, "I can create elastic bands from thin air, and my favourite thing to do is gymnastics." I sat back down and crossed my arms, slouching. Mine was probably the worst power so far. I was really hoping the would be a worse one. I fiddled with the elastic band on my finger while Jacques, blue suit, said that he could make it snow. A small demonstration left us all freezing.

"Please don't demonstrate your power," Miss. Demi said, interrupting a boy who had started to say his name (Marv-). "If you do, we'll have to restrict you from using them for the day."

After Marvin, who could become younger and older at will, there was Abbot, who could jump really high (no doubt learning this by bashing his head on the ceiling, I thought, taking in the white bandage around his head), Terra, a manipulator of dirt, and Liam, who could read people's emotions. Finally, the last person stood up. Sam.

"I'm Samantha, I love the strength words have, and I don't have a power."

Miss. Demi's eyes widened. "Are you sure you haven't just not found it yet? Maybe it's small, something you would barely notice."

Sam shook her head. "Everyone else was talking about an urge to do something. I haven't really had one of those."

"Well, just continue with the other Supers. You'll figure it out sometime soon."

The rest of us were kind of just staring at her, I saw when I sneaked a peek around to room, pulling my eyes away from the mystery of Sam having no power. Before yesterday, before this morning, even, it would have been normal, but she was taken here, so just like the rest of us, she should have a super (or even not so super) power.

Miss. Demi shook her head, looking over to Mr. Hart and giving him a look, before regaining her usual poise and clapping her hands together, diverting everyone's attention away from Sam, who had timidly sat back down.

"Now you'll choose your names."
