Lash walked down the hallway in Sky High. It was like any normal day: Pick on some freshman, meet with Speed at lunch,
and pick on some more freshman. He was getting tired of the same old thing though, the same routine and the same remarks he would say to the scrony freshman he would pick on. But he didn't show it. He didn't show that he was weak, or that he didn't want to pick on anymore freshman anymore. The last thing he needed was to be picked on because he had a tender heart to some freshmen.

Lash saw the glowing kid, Zach or Zeke, walking by him and trying not to get in his way. The one girl, Magenta or something, was holding hands with him and was smiling too. Lash was surprised, he never saw her smile before. Especially with a glowing kid that was freakishly huge for his age. His other little friend, the one that can melt, walked next to him and Magenta, talking with them. Why were they so happy when they were side-kicks? They should be depressed and down because of that. And he should be happy for being a Hero. Being a Hero at Sky High was being at the top of your game. But Lash didn't feel like he was at the top of his game at all, he felt low and down. Speed tried to find out what as wrong with him, but Lash didn't tell him anything. Speed wouldn't even understand how he was feeling and why he felt so low.

As Lash turned a corner, he found himself knocking into another person and falling to the floor. He hit his head up against a locker and blanked out for a few seconds. When he opened his eyes, he saw the person he knocked into, lying on the flor next to him. He was about to yell at the person when he found that it was a girl! She didn't look like a freshman, more like a Junior or a Senior. She had brown short hair that was short and layered with red streaks down the sides and emerald green eyes. She had tan skin and freckles along the bridge of her nose and on her rosy cheeks. Lash panicked and rushed over to her.

"Oh my God! I-I'm so so sorry! I didn't see you!" Lash apologized as he helped her up. He saw a closer look at her. She was wearing a blue tanktop with blue baggy jeans and converse shoes. The girl smiled and looked up at him with her green eyes. She then saw who it really was and she panicked too as she grabbed her bookbag from the ground.

"No, that was my fault! I'm so sorry, Lash!" The girl apologized in a pleading voice as she tried to fix her hair.

"It's okay, it was my fault and all..." Lash started, but stopped. He had no idea she knew who he was. He gave her a puzzling look.

"You know my name?" Lash asked aloud in wonder. The girl just gave a quick smile and bit her lip.

"Yeah, you and Speed are the...n-nice guys around here." the girl explained in a stammer. But Lash knew she was lying about that. He knew she was afraid of him and Speed, everyone was. Lash just sighed and stared at the girl.

"Look, I'm sorry for running into you. I dozed off and had no idea where I was going, believe me. It wasn't your fault, really." Lash explained as he found a book on the floor in between them. He bent down and was about to grab it for the girl when she grabbed it two. The two of them stay like that for what seemed like a eternity. Lash couldn't help but look at her eyes and her hair. How is it that he hasn't seen her around in school before, how could he have missed that smile. The girl then took the book and they rose back up together. The bell rang for class, breaking their daze at each other and the girl got her book back in her bag and smiled back at Lash.

"I-I have to get to class." the girl replied in a smile and was about to walk away when Lash walked up next to her.

"Hey, I didn't get your name, since you got mine." Lash said aloud in a stammer. The girl smiled at him and kepted walking away.

"It's Lucy!" she replied over her shouler. But before Lash could say anything, Lucy then teleported into a cloud of dust and disappeared into thing air from Lash's sight. Lash was amazed from what he saw. He then felt Speed's hand on his shoulder.

"Come on man, we're gonna be late to our free period." Speed replied in a groan as he pulled Lash to their class The two of them walked in unison.

"Who was that, the girl that disappeared?" Lash asked Speed aloud in wonder. Speed though to himself and then sighed.

"Oh, that Lucy girl. Lucy Jenns, that's it! She's a Senior, like us. She's a teleporter, making her a Hero and all." Speed replied aloud as we turned the corner.

"How come I havent' seen her before?" Lash asked aloud.

"Because we never picked on her throughout High School. I never thought of her as a good vitcim of our pranks, she's too quick for us to catch her and torment with. And plus she's a teleporter. She would teleport out of our way if we were coming her way." Speed explained as they went into the classroom, "Why do ya wanna know? Did she like...trip you or something?"

"No, no. I was just wondering." Lash replied in a stammer as he took his seat. He looked out the window and daydreamed throughout the rest of the period, and the rest of the day. Her name kept ringing in his head: Lucy, Lucy Lucy...
