Sadly I don't own any of the characters; I just get to play with them. If anyone can tell me the actual names of Warren's parents it would be much appreciated if not I will just keep them as they are. Have fun!

It was their first day at sky high, the insane bus ride and equally insane bus driver had surprising made it onto campus. Melinda had been so terrified when the bus had taken off that she had automatically grabbed the hand of the person sitting next to her. It wasn't until they were safely on the ... floating platform in the sky that could fall at any moment with little warning, did she realise she still had their hand. A tap on her shoulder made her turn and she suddenly she was looking in the face of a fine featured boy with striking chocolate brown eyes and floppy brown hair. He held up his hand which was still in her vice-like grip. She released it with a blush and stammered an apology as he rubbed feeling back into it. "Its fine" he said with a slightly pained smile "really. Just warn me next time" she tried to promise him there wouldn't be a next time but he just flashed a white smiled and walked off the bus that had emptied without them.

Gym class was first up. 'Crap' was the only thought that came to mind when Melinda realised. She had never been particularly good at gym and now she would be competing against Heroes! This was so unfair. The gym teacher, she discovered, was very... loud when he wanted to be. 'At least there wasn't any sport on the first day' she thought to herself, she couldn't embarrass herself too much. She had been called up, had shown her power (she could speak all languages ... including animal) and had had "SIDEKICK" yelled at her. The person directly after her was "Cullen Peace" who just happened to be the boy who had held her hand without complaint that morning, but while she was clapping she seemed to be the only one, everyone else had stiffened and were glaring at Cullen with blatant hatred burning in their eyes. Melinda's lone clapping petered off and she looked up to see his reaction. Cullen's face had turned to a granite mask of arrogance. He casually flicks a fireball just above the heads of the students to hit the tapestry behind them which burst into flames and just as casually walked off again, his entire demeanour screaming predator. Melinda watched this all wide eyed shock and more than a little confusion, where had the nice boy from the bus go? Why did everyone hate him?

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

It wasn't until between her first and second class that Melinda found out. She had been walking along the corridor to her next class when she had heard Cullen's name mentioned in conversation, of course she had to find out what they were saying, so she casually walked behind them trying to glean information "my mum said the apple never falls far from the tree and there are only bad seeds in that family" she heard the lead girl in the too short skirt say.

"Don't we choose what we become though?" said one of them, the one that resembled something akin to a mouse "I mean I choose to be a hero but I could be a villain if I wanted right?" the five girls just stared at the short mousey one for a few moments. Short shirt broke the awkward silence "no, it's all about blood" she used a manicured hand to place a demeaning pat on the top of her head "don't worry I'll teach you everything you need to know. First lesson: stay clear of Cullen Peace, he will destroy you" short skirts entourage nodded in a scarily synchronised movement and Melinda let them walk away.

That explains a lot she thought.
