2 Once in a Lifetime.

The bus pulled over at the entrance of the castle and we got out and a middle aged woman was waiting for us outside.

"Welcome new students and welcome back to the old ones!" She smiled with all her lipstick dirty teeth "If you could follow me to the auditorium, the principal would like to say some words for this semester."

She started leading us to where I suppose was the auditorium.

"They do this every year" Jenna whispered in my ear."Nothing to worry about."

We got into the huge auditorium and found seats in the back and waited to the principal started talking.

"Welcome!! To the old students that are already here some time and for the new one who our costumes still have to learn. I am really glad to have you all here. I just want to tell the new students and remember some old ones that students are not allowed to use their powers against each other or to vandalize school propriety.

"No one follow that rule." Tory whispered in my ear.

I silently chuckle. Maybe a superhero high school, but still a high school.

"So all the old student might go to their rooms, you will get your schedules at the door with Mrs. Lock" He said pointing at the woman with lipstick dirty teeth. "And the new ones please stay sited so we can measure your power's strength."

When he said that I could fell tension filling the room from the new students, but no one's nervousness compared to mine because I knew I would get those looks, those looks that I got from everyone that knew my parents and then got to see my power.

Tory and Jenna wished me luck, but I could see the seizure in their faces (I told them about my 'situation' in the ride here). The principal got into a little room besides the stage and started to call students. And I heard them being called and I saw them going in and coming back, some with a smile on their faces and some seemed on verge of tears.

" Kelly Johnson!" I heard them calling and headed to the little room and all the way there I could feel the other people in the auditorium eyes on my back to add to my nervousness.

I got in that room and there was a chair in the middle of it and at the opposite side there was some seats with the principal and who I guess are the teachers.

"Good Evening Mss. Johnson. There is no need to be nervous I am sure you will do great!" He said with a kind smile and I knew that he knew who my parents were and was going to be so disappointed.

"Okay..." I answered even more nervously than before.

"So, darling, what is your power?"He asked and in his eyes I could see so much hope, that was sad.

"I shape shift..." I said vaguely.

"Really..." He said amazed. Everybody always got that wrong idea when I told them that. " Could you turn yourself into a... table so we could see?"

There we go...

"Nope... Only people and animals." I said and he was starting to talk again when I continued. "But not too big animals or too big people."

I could see all the hope vanishing from his face as quick as a blink.

" Could you shape shift into me?" He asked.

"No, sorry, you're too tall... I could shape shift in Mrs. Lock, like, tops, sorry, and as an animal a Labrador tops??" I answered looking at my feet, I knew everybody at that table was looking at me with curiosity.

"So, Kelly, please a Labrador?"

"Sure!" I said happily.

I changed into a black Labrador and then started changing his color to honey, brown and pink and then went back to being a human.
