The rest of the evening was rather relaxing. I did tell my mother to just mark me down as enhanced human for the time being and to completely get rid of the bugs, before we turned of Nicks device. Now that I know what she does, she doesn't have to monitor me all the time. Plus it is better this way so HYDRA can't track me all the time. It will still be suspicious, but I will Nick handle the reasons.

After we ate I got scolded again for my reckless behavior and got grounded for a week. I tried to appeal to her and use my birthday as reason to be lenient, but I was just told that this is already lenient. I sulked a bit, before I got cozy on the couch and watched TV with my mother, before going to sleep.

The next morning, it was a rather sunny sunday. Still cold, because it was in the middle of november. Mum wore thick clothes and a nice coat. I put on a long skirt and blouse, with fitting socks. All in a combination of pink and rose. My hair was in two ponytails. Lastly, I wore a form fitting jacket.

I wasn't really dressed for that weather but I didn't really felt cold in that weather so I just wore something that accentuated my cuteness! I liked how I looked and of course want to take advantage of it.

Anyway we left our house for a mother daughter day and first had a nice breakfast. My mum told me as we spend time together, that the bugs are getting removed. After breakfast we toured the city a little. We didn't do much stuff together these days so it was nice to spend some time together.We grabbed a hot dog for lunch and after that saw a musical. I loved musicals and wanted to one day act in one. After that we ate dinner and then got home.

All in all I had fun and it was nice to spend time with my mum, because I knew it would get busy these months. That I was grounded this week kind of screwed with my plans a little bit, but I did get my mum a promise to let me train with SHIELD after that. I do need to test my strengths and train them accordingly. I even got a new phone at the end of the day!

My alarm woke me and I jumped out of bed. Finally it was time for school! I don't know why I was so happy about it, but eh I will see. I made myself fresh in the bathroom and after that wore my school uniform. Granted there didn't exist a school uniform, but I wore something similar to japanese school girls. I like those outfits and it was just the fitting! I did gave it my personal touch and the blouse wasn't as strict and my skirt was pink. My blouse stayed white though.

I got to the kitchen and made a sandwich for the way to school. Mum was already at work again. After I took my jacket and bag for school, I left my house. Normally I use the bus, but today I will walk. It's early enough and I can run faster. So I took off on a run for the school while I eat my sandwich.

Some time later I arrived at the school. I got a few weird looks when I did not arrive by bus. Most people recognize me. I am a little famous with my cute look and pink presence. Still most people don't want to do anything with me, because of Cindy. Yeah long time bully and school princess. I don't really care about her anymore, but as far as I remember she will try to start something and with my memories back I won't just take it anymore. I smile as I enter the school and get to my locker, where I see one of my two friends Felicia. I smile brighter as I reach my locker. “Morning, Feli.”

Its kind of funny how we became friends. First I just helped her with school work. Later as I got picked up on and my naive self didn't really get what was going on Felicia defended me. Since then we hang out. I kind of made it my mission to brighten her day! She is always so grumpy. Like right now how she glares at me hard.

“Where were you Saturday evening? Didn't we plan to meet up and celebrate your birthday? You didn't even looked at your phone!” She accuses me. I tilt my head a little and try to remember until a lightbulb goes off.

“Ohh Sorry! I totally forgot! Something came up and I kind of missed my whole day. My mum even ground me! Can you believe it. And I kind of forgot to look at my phone. I got a new one yesterday and didnt had the time to set it up.” I scratch my head. I'm kind of embarrassed that I forgot that and didn't look at my phone.

Felicia just crosses her arms and looks at me sternly. I pick up my books from the locker and smile at her. “Im really sorry and I will tell you all about it, but somewhere where it is more private.” She squints her eyes at me.

“Okay, but I want to know in detail what happens!” She says, before she smiles and hugs me. Actually she hugs me really hard and lift me of the floor. “Anyway Happy birthday squirt!” I squirm in her arms, before she let me down again. “Your present has to wait until after school. It was a little bit too much to take with me.” As she finishes her smile froze a bit.

“Anyway I have to go to class do… stuff. Until lunch break.” I raised an eyebrow as she fled to her first lesson. Weird she would normally not be so early. I look behind me what could possibly have scared her so much. The first thing I saw was my best friend Gwen. My smile brightened again and I wanted to wave until I saw her face and froze immediatly.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Ahh yes Gwen could get slightly worried and overprotective and she looks really pissed, because I forgot saturday. Felicias knew that and escaped. That traitor. I just put on my brightest smile as Gwen comes close.

“Hey, Gwen, my best friend in this world. I'm sorry about Saturday, something important came up and my phone broke. I only got a new one yesterday evening and didn't have time to set it up. My mum even grounded me for a week because of Saturday and spent the whole time yesterday with me. So again I am so sorry, so please don't be mad!” I just apologize, hopefully that calms her down. Before I can do anything I am enveloped in a hug

“You, dummy. I couldn't be mad at you. I was just worried. It isn't like you to forget such things and be impossible to reach! Please just call at least on the next day.” My shoulders relax and I can hear it in her voice how concerned she was. I hug her back.

“I promise to call the next time.. Again sorry to make you worry about me.” We separate again and make our way to our first class that we have together. “I will tell you about what happened after school with Feli. I do have to tell you something really good, but here are too many ears.” I grin at her.

“Well it better be something good. You did miss your party.” We then entered the first classroom and I started my first school day.

I retract my statement from this morning. School is absolutely boring. Why was I so happy to get here. Ohh yeah Felicia and Gwen, but the lesson are torture. I knew absolutely everything they teach here or at least enough that I didn't learn anything new. I just sketched in my notes a little and tried different outfits for my hero costume, because I will need one. I mean I have superpowers and am in Marvel it would be absolutelystupid to at least not dabble a little bit. Especially to be safe in this universe.

I still didn't know exactly in which direction I will go, but I do have an idea. I will make plan in this time I'm grounded.

At lunch break I get something in the cafeteria and sit with Gwen and Feli. Both of them definitely notice a difference. I am bubbly and generally in a good mood, but they notice that I seem to have changed. They didn't say anything to me, but I observed the glances they shot at me.

Suddenly Felicia's looks behind me with a scowl. And here I thought today would be a quiet day. Well it seems my bully didn't want me to be happy for too long with my birthday these days. I have a big grin on my face. Felicias looks from behind me to my face and has a confused face as she sees how I grin.

“Well, well, well. If it isn't the Pinky and her friends. Shouldn't you be with the elementary schoolers now that you are old enough? Or did your parents get you to eat with them, so that their baby doesn't have to be alone?” I look at Cindy and her two followers. Cindy has blonde hair and even I have to admit that she is pretty. And her dad is kind of rich. I just look at her for a few moments, because that is the best that she could come up with? Were Highschool bullies this stupid.

“I… I just can't. Is that really the worst that you could come up with? Granted I can't think of anything else too, but then again I am not an insufferable Bitch that has to be mean to others to feel good about herself.” *I shake my head. Okay maybe I am more resentful than I am realizing, because I have to bite my tongue to not spout more profanities. “Let's go, Feli and Gwen, we have chemistry next.”

I pull both of them off their seats and leave the silent hall. I did have a reputation to be the nice and naive little girl that didn't really curse or insult anyone. I did see Cindy slackjaw staring at me and even my friends are a little out of it. As we rounded another corner, both of them came out of their stupor and soon I am dragged into an empty restroom.

“Okay, squirt. You act the whole day a little differently, but you would never do something like that so who are you?” Felicia asks with a glare. Gwen has a more worried expression and I chuckle a little bit and lift my hands.

“It's still me Lilly, your friend. Maybe I played it down a little what happened saturday. It was something really impactful. I can't really tell you more about it here. I promise you I will tell you everything after school. Let's just go to Felicias home. So we can talk okay.” I pressed my hands together and gave them an apologetic smile.

Felicia huffs and then sighs. “Okay, but you will tell us everything you have us worried!” Gwen just stayed silent and still seemed slightly concerned.

“Yes Of course. It isn't anything bad and you will understand then.” I assure them.

After that I bring the rest of the very boring day behind me. As I put my books back in my locker the two cronies of Cindy suddenly take up position beside me. I just ignore them and close my locker. When I turn around Cindy stands before me and I let out a long sigh. “Whatever you planned, please stop it. I don't have time for your little squabble.”

I didn't want to deal with her right now and just wanted to enjoy my time with my friends. “Well Pinky you don't have a choice in the matter. You will come with us and show what happens if you disrespect me. If you dont I will get you suspended for a week.”

At this I couldn't hold it in me anymore and burst out laughing. I mean this is just too funny that I have this trope on the first day of school. She actually threatens me with her dad. As I mentioned her dad is rich and has a lot of say in this school. I see her scowling at me. “Sorry Cindy. Actually no I am not Sorry, but you see your childish threat is just too funny and you can't harm me. Not with matters in this school or with anything else. So Please run to you daddy if you want, but it wont work. Oh and leave me and my friends alone in the future. Okay? Good, then bye.”

I don't wait for her answer and just walk past her. Maybe I pushed her with my shoulder a little. Maybe a little hard that she fell, but she surely just tripped. I have a satisfied grin on my face as I walk to exit where my friends are waiting.
