Michael stared at his hand as he walked up to the school. There was a pitch black shadow on the palm, despite the fact that the sun was shining directly on it. He focused for a bit, and the shadow disappeared, then reappeared. Whatever it was, he seemed to be in control of it. "I'll have to take a closer look at this later," he murmured to himself as he entered the building.
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20Lance felt chilly after waking up this morning. This was not unusual as he had left his air conditioner on all night.
What was unusual was that the feeling didn't go away. It didn't go away when he got dressed, took his morning shower, ate a hot breakfast of pancakes and sausage, or even put on his jacket to go to school.
Man, I wish I wasn't so cold... Immediately after thinking that, he began to feel warmer. Hmm... That was easy. Why didn't I think of that sooner?
I wish I had a million dollars. He reached into his pocket. No such luck. Just some lint and a blank scrap of paper. As he examined it, he noticed that it started to develop frost all over it.
Hoping that no one else noticed, he quickly shoved the paper back in his pocket and entered the school.
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.As Lance entered class 1-B, he noticed a girl waving. He took a quick glance behind him, thinking that the wave was meant for someone else. Not seeing anyone around at the moment, he awkwardly waved back.
Suddenly remembering that he had one of his hands shoved in his pocket, he quickly withdrew it and took a seat near the girl.
"Hi." Pointing out the obvious for the sake of conversation, he observed, "Guess we're in the same class, huh? Name's Lance." He extended his hand toward her, hoping that his chilliness had gone away.
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.Michael looked over at the two students who were shaking hands. Somehow, he thought that there was something odd about them, though they looked no more odd than any of the other students. Maybe it had something to do with his "ability"... Well, maybe he could talk to them between classes.
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20Linz woke up positively queasy, with a tremendous headache. She really shouldn't have spent all afternoon 420ing with the junior year stoners. She was even hearing a strange noise, like somebody was muttering or something. She dismissed it as an effect of the headache.
Anyway, she had to go to school, so she managed to get up and get inside her clothes. She shot a quick glance at the bag with the eyeliners and lipsticks and stuff... And a pang of migraine made her desist from the idea. Fuck make-up, she thought.
BLAM!, her father slammed the bathroom's door. Linz felt that noise like a straight punch to the ear. This certainly wasn't going to be a good day. She went downstairs and idly wondered about making breakfast. She decided against: Instead, she made some burritos at the microwave. She managed to down'em both with a glass of Sprite.
The noises became clearer: For some reason, her Dad had started rambling about some girlfriend of his, while on the shower. She worried: He didn't talk to himself that often.
"Dad, the fuck are you talkin' to?", Linz asked. "Whaddayamean? I ain't talkin'.", he yelled in return. And he kept rambling, on and on and on, except now he was complaining about her. Great, now the old man had lost it completely. "CPS, here we come...", she groaned.
When he came to the table, he was still ranting, this time about work. Except he was completely silent. He wasn't babbling: Linz was hearin' him think. She had the feeling, that day's headache was about to get worse.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.Wow, her hand is ridiculously warm. Unless... He pulled his hand away and placed it flat on his desk. Unless I'm still cold... He tried to play it cool. No sense in letting her know that he woke up "strange."
"Vicky? Cool. Nice to meet you, too."

Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway."No, of course not. But I could tell you were, because all longtime residents know of Victoria, the Hot-Blooded Queen of Toyeken!"
Victoria struck a dramatic pose, and someone on the other end of class shouted about her being a loud bitch, she seemed to be completely oblivious to the latter.
go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagine"Hot-Blooded Queen of Toyeken?"Lance's eyes widened at Victoria's dramatic pose. Reminds me of a girl I knew at my old school. He blushed slightly. I crushed on her, too...
"Loud-mouthed bitch!"
Lance turned and glared at the source of the comment. "Chill!" he shouted back.
"Screw you!"
Not in your wildest dreams, skank... He turned back to Vicky, trying to ignore the rude classmate, and smiled. "Awesome. So, I can...uh...come to you if I have any questions about this place?"

She looks around her, and she sees something on the chalkboard. After a moment, something clicks in her brain, and she yells with a British accent, pointing her finger into the air and leaping out of her chair, "AH HA!! Its a cat! BRILLIANT!!!" As she speaks, her arms go into the air (about 45 degrees below straight up and down), and a look of triumph appears on her face, as if she just unlocked a secret of the universe.

She puts her hands to her mouth and begins to speak as quickly as her mouth aloud her to, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, OH MY GOD!!!! I can't believe its actually a cat!!! I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED!!" As she speaks she begins to flail around her arms wildly and bouncing from one foot to another while turning left to right.

"Amazing?"
"Dear Foreigner, if you want amazing, look no further than your glorious Queen Victoria."
Vicky struck another dramatic pose.
"For I am the protector of the downtrodden, safeguard of the human race, flame maiden of justice, and really really sexy."
go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagine"No, I am not."
"However! It is every man, woman, and child's right to be amazed at what they damn well please. So I implore you, Britannian, be amazed! Be amazed at what you will! Just please be quieter while doing it".
Vicky was apparently unaware of the hypocrisy in that statement coming from a loud girl claiming to be the Queen of a city with a democratically elected mayor.

Sometimes things happen without reason.
One of those things is, for instance, awakening to find that your hands are on fire, yet not being burned. Not a large, roaring flame, but merely a soft, glowing ember. Such was the situation Vicky Hood faced when she awoke for her first day of high school. Normally, of course, any reasonable person would—to use a collaqualism popular on the streets of Toyeken—flip the fuck out, but to Vicky, this almost seemed...natural.
After extinguishing the flame by running her hands under a faucet, she proceeded to Toyeken High, confused, but not upset about what she had seen. She smiled wide, inexplicably happy, and started skipping towards the massive school complex's entrance.
