Revealed

(Benny)

The teacher got out his clipboard and began calling role. His name was Mr. Davis and he looked like your average grump teacher who hates their job.

Sourly, his voice called out my name and as I said here, everyone in class turned and looked at me. Their stares were either filled with glares or looks of curiosity.

"Ah, you must be the new student." he said in distaste. "Care to introduce yourself?" he asked leaning against his desk.

"Yeah uh, hi my name is Benny. I'm 16 and uh, that's about it. I hope we can get along " I sat down awkwardly. I glanced up at all of the heavy stares that didnt lift even after I was done telling who I was.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and tried to ignore them. "Alllright, let's get to the teaching then" Mr. Davis said.

He began to explain the origins of the virus that gave us the gene and how people responded to this phenomenon

He told stories of how we were rejected at first, that we had to prove ourselves to be civilized and capable of contributing to society. I rolled my eyes, america always demanded working members of society, but refused to make the financially blessed work themselves, although most worked to get there granted.

I thought about my classes, soon we would have to reveal what we can do and how to incorporate them in real world situations. Our society just suffered more from this change, not only so we worry about looks and behavior, but powers as well? When will it end.

The class easily droned by, I picked up some interesting information that was actually valuable but alot of it was just talking about how much we were hated. At least they dont hold out on us.

The bell rung and soon, I'd be off to my next class which is 'projection and control,' I didnt realize that class would be so early in the day...

I got up from my desk in the back of the classroom trying to hurry and make it out before the teacher could get a chance to say something but I wasnt fast enough.

"Hey, Benny come over here" he demanded. I internally shuddered in disgust at his attitude, but complied nonetheless.

"I hope you'll be behaving correctly hm?" he said, a disgusting smirk on his fat face. "Yeah, I'll do my best" I said uninterested, his smirk dropped into a light snarl at my distaste.

"Adress me with respect boy, say yes sir or no sir" he growled. I pulled back with an bewildered look, and turned around on my heel as I stated, "I'm not doing that, have a good day."

Quickly getting out of that class, I shivered once again in disgust at that encounter, if every teacher in this school was gonna act like that then I might as well drop out now.

Walking past the bathrooms, I heard somebody groaning out in pain. There were two other voices snickering at him and grunts from what I could assume to be the attacker. The owner of the groan sounded familiar but I knew better then to interrupt on things like this. I have to survive and save myself.

"P-please stop" I heard the voice weakly say before screaming out in pain. Looking around confused, I wondered why nobody else tried to help. 'Don't be a hero' I thought to myself.

He screamed out again and I winced, 'Dont be a hero' I thought again beginning to step away from the door. He cried out once more, this time a plea for somebody, anybody to help him.

That tugged at something in my heart and I turned on my heel, racing into the bathroom. I was met with a gruesome sight once I entered, there say laid Paul on the ground getting beat lifeless by the same guy I bumped into earlier.

"Hey!" I yelled rushing over to them and pushing the guy ontop of paul off and into the wall with a thud. He grunted, obviously surprised by how strong I was considering I looked small and petite.

"The fuck is your problem man? You wanna get fucked up too darkie?" he sneered, I gritted my teeth at the term but was taken back when a sudden punch flew across my face.

I staggered back holding my cheek with a painful hiss, "ah fuck!" I swore. They snickered at me and stalked closer, the bigger guy began crawling back over paul and beating his unconscious body with such rage and hate.

I was shocked, bewildered, stunned, mortified. I was so taken aback there weren't anymore words for me to use so I just gritted my teeth in anger.

A tingling feeling rose inside me as I watched paul getting maimed, he body convulsed and shuttered obviously holding onto his life with a very thin grip. I couldn't let this go on any longer.

Crackle

Crackle

Crackle

The sharp and very much intimidating sounds of electricity sounded throughout the bathroom, but I wasnt paying attention to it. The rising tingly feeling in my body took all my attention, it slowly builds up and I felt like I was going to pop.

Their attention was on me now, the goons stopped nearing me and the brute rose from ontop of Paul, all with shocked looks on their faces.

Only then did I look up to the mirror in the bathroom, and realized that their was a shroud of dark, shadowy grey looking sparks of electricity that flickered and wrapped themselves around my arms.

Tho being a dark color, they were very vibrant, crackling like mini versions of their fierce brethren who lay dormant in the sky. The goons tried their luck and got closer, only to be snapped at backed away by my newly formed flowing electricity.

"W-what is that? I've never seen a color of electricity other then blue or yellow before.." the brute ontop of Paul mumbled quietly. I was surprised that I could hear him, given how far away he was and how quiet he spoke I shouldn't have been able to audibly made that out.

My attention snapped towards the battered body that is Paul, as he wheezed back to life and looked at me with desperate eyes. I nodded at him and shook all of the flowing thoughts out of my head, I stood in a stance not really sure of what I was doing, but I was ready to fight for Paul.

The goons seemed to have snapped out of their shocked trance and smirked. They revealed their powers as one formed an energy blade, and the other formed what looked to be a whip. Both glowed vibrant as they smirked.

"You may have some powerful form of eletrokinesis, but you obviously have no idea how to utilize it. You're done for darkie" they snickered and began swiping their kinetic weapons at me.

The whip was long so it was the first reach me, with limited space in the bathroom, I managed to roll and dodge next to the sinks.

The sword came flying at me, aiming for my neck as anyone could visibly see. Their movement were easily read as my eyes seem to see on a completely different level then before.

Recklessly, I held my arms up and just hoped for the best. I heard a sharp crackle and pop as the sword failed to penetrate the small barrier of electricity surrounding my arms, sending its user flying backwards.

I looked at my hands astonished, but came back to reality once I heard the bell ring. I ignored it tho, focusing on the attacker in front of me. The brute took his sword goons place, a visible white aura surrounded him and he bulked up more then he already was.

"Let's see how you fair against this one monkey boy" I taunted me dashing forward with speed I could read- but wasnt ready for nonetheless.

"Woah!" I gasped jumping back and looking at the dent he made in the bathroom tiles.

"You're gonna break the bathroom idiot, calm down!" I screamed at him. He only snarled at my warning and jumped towards me again. We bounded inside the bathroom, my movements were agile, much more then before as I read his movements. However they certainly weren't graceful as I tripped all over the place at times.

He wore himself out, and I took the moment to jump at him and throw my palm at his chest. He howled in pain as I can feel the energy leaving my body and terrorizing his.

He staggered back, literal smoke coming from his body.

"W-what did you do to me! I cant move!" He hissed falling to the floor.

"I dont know myself, but if you cant move then I did something right. Just stay there and shut up you prick" I snarled at him and turned to go get Paul.

His friend readied his whip at me which made me angry, he hadn't learned he couldnt win after watching his friend?

I bucked at him, my electricity crackling harsh in response. That made him shrink back a little, I was relieved as I didnt know what I was doing, and I was tired so I definitely wasnt ready to fight another person right now.

I tried to focus on putting the kinetic energy back into my body, but that only seemed to anger it as it flashed out of control, crackling and popping everywhere as I yelped and back away from Paul.

Just then a staff member rushed into the bathroom, looking around urgently he took in the entire scenery.

"What happened here?"
