Chapter 02: The Decision

Andrew woke up the next morning with a dull throb in his head and a weird feeling that he had the power to change anything he wanted. He tried to put it in the back of his mind, but it wouldn’t fade. He finally  decided to test what he felt and went back into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. He focused on his face until his much hated zits started to vanish one by one. He quickly got the rest of his things ready for school, walked outside, and waited for the bus. He was going to have some fun with his new found powers. He got on the bus and tried to send a mental message to everyone to finally SHUT UP so he could get some more sleep. But despite his best effort, all he managed to do is pass out in the seat and giving everyone one the bus a head ache. He was lucky enough to wake up as soon as the bus made it to the high school and couldn’t tell what had happen to him.
Once again the others wasn’t outside because they came to school late and he dared not try to do anything else with his powers during first period. He sat in front of the computer with the web page up, but he didn’t have his mind on what was on it. He kept thinking on what happened and came to the conclusion that he needed to train his mind more before he attempted anything like the stunt on the bus again. The bell rung and he went to home room where Sean ,AKA That Guy, was waiting for him with a far off look.
“Whoa, what did you do yesterday? Asked Andrew, who knew he didn’t need to ask. He didn’t even have to try to read Sean’s mind to know he was recovering from smoking weed.
“Awww man, I’m not sure. Me and James went to light one up yesterday and the next thing we knew, we was at the house passed out.” Said Sean, who really had forgotten using his powers the day before.
“That’s your problem. Say, did you two noticed anything odd about yourselves yesterday?”
“No. Not that I can remember. I did have a weird dream that I could make flames appear and used it to light up the joints we had.”
“Really now?” Said Andrew, already suspecting that he knew what Sean’s powers were. “What about James?”
“He said he dreamt that he could turn his hands into guns and used it to shoot more weed out. Why are you asking these questions?”
“I’ll tell you at lunch time after I’ve heard from the others.” Andrew told him just as soon as the bell rang, and he took off.

Second period flew by because he had more confidences in his powers and used it to read the mind of the teacher to learn what they were learning and dominated the class room. He soon realized that his mental capacity had increased greatly. He was really glad that had happen cause it was Friday and that was test day in English class. He knew all the words by heart after looking over them once and had to change some words so the teacher didn’t think he was cheating. The lunch bell rung and he was the second one at the table, after Chad. The others soon fallowed. He waited for all of them to sit down and had a few bites to eat before he started. That also gave him some time to think himself and to probe their minds.
“Well guys, I’m sure some of you have noticed some changes since yesterday,” he started “and I’m sure you want to know if everybody else has also gone through some changes.”
He got a scattered responses of  yeahs, maybes, and sortas.
“Good, cause I have something to tell you all.” He looked back and froth at all of them. “I believe that something happened yesterday that gave us powers, meaning we have to be careful from now on.”
“Wait, you mean to tell us we’ve become super…” Cory started.
“Don’t you dare say that word. If you do, we’ll be stuck running around the world saving people till we die.”
“And this if founded on?” Said Michel, and was echoed by the others thoughts.
“Think about it, in the comics, movies, and games, the people who gain powers intently become s-h, and the next thing they know, they have hundreds of  people who also have powers to fight.”
“Does this mean we can use our powers for stealing and stuff?” Asked James.
“No, cause then some one with super powers will show up and stop us.”
“So what are we going to do?” asked everyone.
“Simple. We’ll keep our powers on the low except for some personal gain and nothing more.”
“But who’s really going to stop us?” asked Michel again.
“If you really want to know, ME!” Said Andrew and Cory stood up, went over to Michel, and flicked him, sending him backwards in his chair.
“What the crap man!?! Shouted Michel.
“I don’t know, I didn’t know what I was doing.” Cory told him.
“It’s really simple Michel. I’ve gain the power to fully use my mind, thus making me able to control you guys. Now, who else wants to try and defy what I just said?”
No one said a thing. They were in awe that the quiet guy who usually took orders then gave them was able to control them and was able to control anybody else.
“Good. Now if you guys don’t mind, I’m off to the library. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, and if I hear you guys using your powers for other then minor personal gain, I am going to make you guys tell everybody that none of you has ever been in bed with a girl in your lives. Except Chad, he surprised me.”
He walked off while the guys just sat there embarrassed  and more powerless then they ever felt. Andrew knew he was a little too hard on them, but he also knew that was the only way to get their attention and hold it for a long time. He walked by one of the new guys in the school and thought out loud “This power if the best thing that happened to me”. The guy smiled and said under his breath “Keep thinking that, because you’re going to get a rude awakening later.
