Discovering my super powers

Chapter 1

My friend

My friend and I share this secret, our secret is that she has superpowers. Her name is Isabella, she's got shoulder length light purple hair, with black highlights and she can run real fast. We both started our friendship since kindergarten and years back I had moved cities and schools for a reason that I cannot remember, she stayed in the same city yet she moved to the same school I moved to, how does she get to the school on time as she lives 30 miles away? well she runs.

I act as my best friends sidekick, like Batman and Robin, the girl version of course. But I have no powers, I'm just normal dyslexic brown wavy haired girl with brown eyes and a medium skin tone.

Today is winter, I dress up, ready for school, I had to dress up long as it was cold, I wore my black coat with my jeans and wore my woolen grey hat to keep my ears warm and let my long waves down, and headed for the door, a voice called me "Nancy, where do you think you are going without your school bag?" that was my mum, forgetting my school bag was my usual routine, I always forget it, I pack it and leave it on my bed and forget it. "when are you going to learn to remember to take your bag to school, for God's sack Nancy, you are at sixth form". I paused in shame and said nothing. My mum shook her head at me and walked to the stairs and yelled "Callie!" she paused one second and yelled again, "Callie!"

"Yes Mum!" my older sister yelled back.

"Get Nancy's Bag!" she waited 5 seconds and yelled back again, "Callie!" and then my bag dropped from the top of the stairs and my mum caught it like a ninja. She gave it to me and told me, "And don't forget it again, please, and wear your gloves and scarf, it's cold and snowing"

"Yeah, whatever" I took my scarf and gloves from the coat rack, wore them and closed the door behind me. I took my first step outside my house ready to walk to school and then there Isabel met me within a flash.

"Hey Nancy" she tapped my shoulder, trying to catch her breath. Isabella was wearing a basic thin navy blouse and a basic pair of jeans, no gloves, no coat and no scarf. She made me feel that I was over dressed, but it is cold, and everyone wears coats in winter.

"Hey biz", I replied "should I get you a coat, aren't you freezing" no, I'm fine. She went for her bag, opened up a see through colorless lunchbox and reviled two huge chocolate muffins. She offered me one, "do you want one?"

I shook my hand, "I'm fine, I don't want to get fat" then we both giggled and she went on munching them like she haven't eaten for five days, "Isabel, take it slow you are going to get fat.

She swallowed her bite and said, "Look, I run 32 miles in seven minuets from home to here, I probably burn like 3,500 calories doing this, without this I literately die! These two muffins probably only total 600 calories"

"Sorry, I'm not good with maths" I rolled my eyes.

"Oh! My God! These taste so good!" she went on commenting on the muffins, "Greg's just makes the best bakery in the whole world!" she finished the two within a minute and started to lick the last taste off her fingers. "Hey, have you got perfume, I stink ass" she sniffed her arm pits.

"yeah" I went for my side pocket and grabbed my new Kylie Minogue and handed it to her. She grabbed it and sprayed about 30 sprays to cover-up finishing about a fifth of the bottle. My school was near the corner, not too far. It was the start of school after our winter break, looking at the younger years and seeing how much we had grown up though the years . "just can't believe that we just have these two years of school and we are finally done"
