EWSG Superboy/Supergirl Volume 2, Issue #1: Immaculata
Leavenworth has been pretty calm ever since we sent Pirate to prison. There are minor muggings here and there, but it feels like a safer place. Saying that now, I realize, that I probably just jinxed it.. It's almost fall now, as everything starts to become a routine. Me and my sister won't be able to do as much for the city now, since we'll be going back to school tomorrow.. You may be wondering how or why even, due to me being expelled from Leavenworth High.. Well, my father has some pull in Leavenworth, so he was able to pull a few strings... I mean a lot of strings, to have us attend Immaculata High School. It's some private Catholic school I hear. I don't personally have the same belief system, but it's a second chance. Even if I hate the boring aspect of school, I know we need it. We should do something with our lives besides the whole saving the world thing.. I mean that's awesome, but if that's all I do, then I'm missing out on what life on Earth has to offer. I can't seem to close my eyes, so I just lie there, thinking and hoping that it won't end up like last time.. Finally after a few hours, my eyes finally close and I fall asleep.
---------------------------------------------------
6:30 am
I leap out of my bed, as I feel my head get drenched in water. I see my father at the side of my bed, with a bucket in his right hand.
Father: "Time to wake up Chris! Gotta get ready for your first day!" I look over at the clock that's sitting on my bedside table..
Chris: "But it's only 6:30?!! School doesn't start until 8:00. I don't need an hour and a half to get ready.. Did she put you up to this?"
Father: "I will not confirm, or deny if she did. Anyway chop chop! I'll be dropping you two off half an hour before school starts everyday, so I'm not late to work.
Chris: "But we could just fly to school... What about after school?
Father: "Nope, flying is too risky. As for after school, I'm not sure to be honest. Either the bus, or walk, it's up to you really. Oh that reminds me.. You need the time to change your "look".. Can't have people recognize you as the superboy, now can we? Anyways, I'll leave you to it." He walks out the door and shuts it behind him.
Great, just what I needed.. Start the day drenched. Thanks a lot dad.. May need to sleep on the floor for a few nights now.. I open my dresser door, and grab some pants, along with shirt. I put them on, and head downstairs. I don't really smell much of anything, as I go into the kitchen. Man, it doesn't feel right.. Being here without my mom.. Every day I could always count on fresh pancakes, but not anymore.. I see a tear drop drip down my cheek, as I grab a bowl from the cupboard. I wipe the drop away with my hand, and start to eat some cereal. I finish up the rest of my routine, and notice it's 7:00. So I just slump on the couch and watch an episode of New Girl to kill some time. I hear my sister blow drying her hair, and she's still there by the time I finish my episode.. I turn off the T.V.
Father: "Time to go! I'll start-up the truck!" He says, loud enough so we can hear him. I get my converse on, and run out the door.. My sister appears moments later, and off we go to school. Tamara cranks up the radio, and starts singing along to the songs that come on. I join in, imitating my sister. This is too easy, I mutter, and moments later I'm bursting out in laughter. Before we know it, we're pulled up in the parking lot of Immaculata.
Father: "Have fun ok? Make some friends, and behave.. Don't start any fights. Can't have you getting expelled on the first day.." He says as he looks directly at me..
Chris: "Why are you looking at me? You know Tamara could make a mistake too.. I know how important this is Dad.. I'll behave, don't you worry."
Tamara: "Let's be real here, if anyone's going to mess it up, it'll be you!" She replies, getting out of the truck.
Chris: "Yeah yea whatever.. Have a good day at work dad!" I give him a quick hug, before hopping out. I make my way up the stairs, when I hear a voice.
Voice: "Chris? Chris Danvers?" The voice sounds somewhat familiar, and I as I turn around I see who it is. I see her face, and realize immediately who it is. It's Alicia! Behind her, is three guys. The one on the left seems to be eying me up and down, with a skeptical look on his face. He has brown hair that is all spiked up. Beside him in the middle, is someone who looks like he's of Romani descent. The dude on the right has blonde hair that reaches to about his shoulders.
Left Guy: "Something about him seems shady. I don't like it.."
Alicia: "Watch yourself Simon.. He saved my life a few months ago. I never did receive that phone call by the way."
Chris: "Yeah sorry about that, I've been busy."
Alicia: "So whatcha doing here anyway? I don't recall you going to school here."
Chris: "I didn't until now. This is our first day here." Alicia looks over and notices my sister.
Alicia: "Ohh.. Sorry.. Where are my manners? I'm Alicia! The skeptic is Simon.. As for the other two. This is Shane Veritas, and finally we have Tycho." She says pointing from left to right.
Tamara: "Nice to meet you all! I'm Tamara Danvers, Chris' sister if you couldn't tell. Let's do our best to have a great year together!"
Simon: "Things are already looking better." I see him with a smug grin across his face.
Shane: "Already Simon? Oh jeez."
Alicia: "What do you have for your first class Chris? If you want, I can show you where all your different classes are.
Chris: "Oh.. That would be great! Uh tth-thanks! I think I have history with one Edmund Montcroix" I notice myself stumbling over my own words.
Alicia: "Really? Me too! Montcroix might be new, as I haven't heard of him before. I'll go show you where his classroom is. Oh, could one of you help Tamara?
Simon: "Gladly!"
Tycho: "Why am I not surprised? Guess I'll be nice to the poor sucker. Meet up after school?
Alicia: "Sure! You know the place!" With that, I follow her throughout the hallway to the history classroom. This second chance is already turning out better than last time! I'll actually have friends this time. Wasn't expecting things to go like this, but I welcome it with open arms.
