Hey, I'm Bella Stronghold and right now I'm really mad at Tai. I really do think he's a great guy and I've always been super forgiving towards him, but recently that jerk barged in on me when I was, er, indecent. Talk about embarrassing! Then he started talking to me as if nothing was wrong. I mean, when someone walks in on you it's suppossed to be awkward for both parties, but when that someone sees everything and doesn't react at all that's just hurtful. I'm a cute girl, aren't I? Oh no! What if he feels threatened because I'm too beautiful? Dang, I've got the worst luck!

Huh? Oh, my dad's calling me. Shoot! I'm about to be late for my first day of school! Geez, I'm slow in the morning! I dashed out the door so fast I could have fooled people into thinking I had super speed. Acctually, I haven't got my powers yet. I mean, I'm defineatly stronger than most people, but I don't have my dad's super strength and every plant I've ever had died which rules out having my mom's power. Of course, my dad didn't have any powers at my age either so I could just be a late bloomer, too. Not that my parents try to pressure me about it. They're pretty much the, 'as long as you're happy and healthy' kind of parents.

I got to the bus just in time and saw Tai already there. I waved and sat down next to him. One of the good things about me is that I don't like to hold grudges. He made no move to acknowledge my existence. Typical. I gave him a cheerful greeting anyway. The person in front of us turned around to look at me.

"You know Mr. personality?"

He asked, obviously not a fan of the stoic type.

"Yeah, we're best friends"

I replied

"Okay."

Tai said in a bored think-what-you-want-'cuz-I-don't-care voice. This friendship sounds one sided when he talks like that. I really hope it's not and that I'm not just some pathetic dope. I'm not. Tai's a nice, cool guy deep down. Someday I'll find that side of him.

Okay, power placement. Which will end with the old geezer of a couch saying, "Stronghold, Bella, sidekiiiccckkk." By the way, when I say old I mean someone really should tell this guy there's this thing called retirement. His shorts are so, well, short. No, must keep focused. Don't look at the shorts, don't at the shorts, don- oh no, I looked! Ew, old people legs! I think I've just been scarred for life.

Then I saw the look on the couch's face and realized I'd just eeped and said the last part aloud. Oops. I'm such a dork.

"Perhaps you'd like to show us what makes you so special Ms. Stronghold."

Couch Boomer gave me a peircing gaze. My last name got the basic attention it always does.

Couch Boomer didn't even wait for me to explain that I don't have any powers yet before dropping a car on me. Luckily I was able to get out of the way before it fell on me. I ended up falling off the stand. Color had risen to my face, my fists were clenched firmly against my thighs, and my facial muscles were being squeezed so tightly I probably looked constipated.

"You idiot!"

Have you ever heard the term, 'Hell hath no fury.."? When mad I pretty much define that term.

"Do you have any idea how dangerous that was? I could have been killed! You're a horrible, disgusting, old man!"

I stood up to add more force behind my words, but my ankle felt strange. I tried to ignore it.

"I ought to report you for child endangerment."

"Bella."

Tai's voice interrupted me.

"Forget him and go the nurse. You're limping."

I was about to argue when I realized he was right and hobbled away. I'm still reporting Couch Boomer, though!

At lunch I busily stuffed my face. I'm well aware that I was muttering between bites. Finally I realized that Tai, who was sitting right next to me, had been trying to get my attention for awhile.

I swallowed and turned to show he'd gotten it.

"You're eating my food."

I looked down and noticed that I had indeed stolen his tray. I sheepishly offered to get him a new one. He tried to tell me it didn't matter. I was about to remind him he's the one who brought it up when I noticed his eyes flicker to where my ankle had been bandaged under my pant leg. He tried to hide it, but I'd already figured out he didn't want me to use my ankle too much until it was better.

In fact, a lot of people seemed to want me to get better. Mainly guys. Now who says men are jerks? The boys at Sky High sure seem nice. Although some of them didn't seem to understand that I'm perfectly capable of carryinng my own books. Not that I tried to explain. I know it's kind of cruel, but we're talking about free labor here.

I was delighted when I found out our sidekick teacher was going to be an old family friend. Zach. He's soo funny. Of course I didn't want to automatically assume ('cuz that's so unlike me (sarcasm) ) He'll be that way here. In this building he's a serious teacher.

I was wrong. I guess it doesn't matter where you put him, Zach is Zach.

All in all I can't say if it was a good or bad day. It was just...interesting.
