“Can’t believe you guys want to eat lunch with me.” Jessica sighs.
We all head to the cafeteria table where we all sit down and start to eat our lunches that we had packed ourselves. Jessica didn’t have a lunch to eat.
“Don’t you have something to eat?” I ask.
“No.” says Jessica. “I’m fine.”
“Okay?” I ask. “Why are you so hot?”
“Hot?” asks Jessica blushing.
“No.” I said. “Temperature.”
“Oh.” says Jessica. “It’s my power. I can heat my body up to 400 degrees celsius at maximum. Not only that, I can also manifest flames on all parts of my body. What about you?”
“I can I freeze things that I make contact with…”
“Sometimes.” says Eric.
“Sometimes.” I said after him.
“Your power isn’t fully developed. You’ve scratched the surface. You should be able to toss ice out of your hands or… I don’t know… do something else.”
“Nope.” I said. “I can’t do anything other than rely on my freezing to work.”
“You guys seem so cool,” says Martin. “I wish I had powers.”
He clapped his hands together.
“Now that we have two super teens here.” says Martin. “Let’s pull more pranks.”
“Hell no.” says Jessica. “I’m not gonna be involved in cringy and unfunny pranks.”
“Then you will be one pranked.”
“You know it doesn’t take a lot to piss me off.” says Jessica. “I dare you-”
Her stomach rumbles.
“I KNEW IT!” I said.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“I’m fine…” she says.
I reached into my bag and took out a sandwich. I toss her my sandwich.
“Eat it.” I said.
“No.” says Jessica. “I can’t eat your food.”
“Think of it as a reward for telling us about your power.” I said. She took the sandwich and started to eat it. When she was done. She received a phone call. She took out phone and turned to us.
“I gotta take this.” says Jessica. “Just give me a second.”
She ran out of the cafeteria and outside where she stood at the back of the school where a window was just above the white wall that she was leaning on. I didn’t know who she was speaking to when Martin brought up an idea.
“Hey..” says Martin. “Let’s prank her.”
“I don’t think we should prank her.” I said. “She seemed pretty clear she would kill us if we did.”
“Jordan please. This will be the last prank. I promise.” says Martin.
“Okay dude.” I said. “Fine.”
I followed Martin to a classroom directly above where she was speaking on the phone. I looked down and Martin said something.
“Take her hat and freeze her head,” says Martin.
“That seems extreme.” I whisper.
“If you freeze and create just the same weight of ice as that hat on her head, then she won’t notice.”
“That’s stupid.” I said. “Her body heat will just melt it. She said that she can be as hot as 400 celsius. No way would a block of ice stay on her head for that long.”
“JUST DO IT.”
“Okay.” I said. I opened the window and reached down and with one hand grabbed her hat and the other putting ice on her head.
“You’re getting better with that power Jordan,” says Martin.
“Yeah.” I say coming out of the window with her hat. I look at my hands as they are covered in ice energy and white auras. She was talking so we just waited for her reaction.
“Jessica.” says the person on the phone. “How’s your mission?”
“It’s good-”
Something wet dripped from her head and she seemed to be soaked. She closed the phone line.
“WHERE ARE YOU TWO!?” she yells like a demon.
“Oh crap!” says Martin. The two of us run through the halls as we run down the stairs and to the cafeteria. We run inside and sit down, panicking.
“Something wrong?” asks Eric. Martin and I nod. Jessica appears behind Eric and everyone in the cafeteria runs off in fear. We turn as pale as a ghost. Her entire head and arms started to have flames coming off. She held flames in her hands as she stepped closer to us. I decided to try to stop her.
“Jessica.” I said. “I’m sorry. We should have taken your warning.”
“Yeah.” says Martin. “We won’t ever do it again.
“You won’t?” she asks. I put my hand on her arms.
“Never again.” I said as her hands froze and her flames started to go out.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gotten as angry as I did.” she says.
“It’s alright.” I replied. “The important thing is that you calmed down.”
“Yeah.” she nodded.
