[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

It's hard to get up in the mornings especially after three months of summer and you have to go back to the hellhole named school. Especially my school, Sky High, that's right I go to the super hero school. Oh damn sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Amelia Venus Gates.
Entering my junior year at Sky High and with my younger twin brothers William and Thomas Gates (aka Bill and Tom), are freshies, ha ha Boomer's gonna have fun with this. He thought I was the last one boy was he wrong.
I did my normal morning necessities and grabbed the clothes I had picked out for the day, which included a white off shoulder t-shirt with little doodles and words written on it, thanks to the twins, and a pair of black Tripp pants and a leather black corset. I then put my hair up into a pony tail and ran out of my room to wake up Bill and Tom and spare them the evils of Valeria's wrath!
I carefully opened up their door and noted that it was still dark in their room, for their curtains had yet to be opened. I ran over to the curtains, threw them open and jumped onto tangled limbs and sheets.
"Wakey, wakey!" I shouted, causing the twins to groan and scream for me to get off. Bill, shoved me off of his legs as Tom started to yank on my black locks."Ow! Hey, let go! That hurts damn it!" I shrieked.
"Your hurting us! Get the fuck off!"Tom cried out as I some how landed on his dreads, which caused more screaming of pain.
Bill landed on the floor, and Tom threw me off of him, so I landed back on Bill.
"It is seven in the fucking morning and you insist on waking us up like this!" Bill screamed at me and pushed me off of him.
"Yes! I think it's better than getting ice water poured on you by Valeria!"
"Not really, your fat ass nearly squished us!" Tom yelled as he jumped off the bed, pulling up his boxers in the process.
"Well, get some fat on you!" I scrambled up and kicked Tom."And at least I have an ass, unlike you!"
Valeria slammed the door open with her bucket of ice water."Ya know, I can always use this to cool you down, so shut the hell up, Amy get your ass down stairs and start eating and let the little ones finish getting ready."
"Valerie we are not little anymore!!!" Bill whined.
"Hey compared to me you are, but then again, you're babies to Syn."
"Don't remind us!" Tom grumbled.
I laughed and ran out the door and down the stairs to eat some of Synyster's delicious breakfast. Out of all of us, Synyster is the only one who can cook, sad ain't it?
As soon as I hit the kitchen I knew he made my favorite, chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and fudge syrup all over the top of it. Okay, give me a break I'm a chocolate lover!
"Syn I love you." I stated as he slid some pancakes onto my plate.
Tom and Bill soon skidded into the kitchen and sat in the seats next to me as Valerie took her seat next to Synyster.
"Oh, Amy! I forgot to tell you, I did someone's tattoo the other day..." she began but I interrupted her.
"Na really?! I would've never guessed a tattoo artist would do that!" I said sarcastically, well after swallowing the food that was in my mouth.
"Hey watch it shorty, but it wasn't just anyoneeee. It was Warren Peace." she teased and nudged my shoulder.
I blushed a bright red as Synyster tried to figure out who Warren was.
"Who's Warren Pea... wait! You mean Battle's kid?!" Synyster growled as he turned and stared at me with those piercing brown eyes.
I gulped and nodded, then glared at Valeria.
"Thanks Val! You just had to say something!" I screeched.
"Ya know it Sista!"
I've had a crush on Warren since I saw him freshmen year, but he's really anti-social and probably doesn't even know I exist, which is good. At least he doesn't know the artist who did his tat was indeed my sister. God how embarassing would that have been? Especially if she brought out photos and gahh the horror!
"Valerie, aren't you supposed to check for I.D. or get parental consent? I don't think Peace is 18 yet to get one by himself." Synyster stated.
"Hey the kid looked like he needed a pick me up, besides I did Bill's!" Valeria covered quickly as Bill smirked, got up from his seat and flashed his star that was on his lower abdomen.
"He's our little brother, WE GAVE HIM CONSENT!"
"True... Oh well its not like he's gonna sue us!" Val fought back."Anyway, Ya he's a cutieeee. Almost as handsome as a certain Matthew Shadows." Val gleamed, making me blush even harder at the sound of Synyster's best friend.
"Damn it Valeria! Leave me aloneee!!!!" I shrieked, I seriously wanted to strangle her right at that moment but I reframed.
"Excuse me?" Syn hissed and looked at me, I gulped and downed the rest of my breakfast.
"Oh don't worry Synny its just a crush!" Valerie laughed and patted Synyster on the shoulder.
"I will not allow..." he started but Val interrupted.
"Stop it she's seventeen let her have a crush! I mean you've never let her have a boyfriend!"
"For specific reasons!"
"Oh come off it Synyster! What would happen? i mean I lost my virginity at fifteen."
"My point exactly."
While Valeria and Synyster were arguing I grabbed Tom and Bill and we high tailed it out of there so we weren't late for the bus.
Every year we get the same bus, this year it isn't any different. The familiar ugly yellow bus pulled up and the doors opened to Ron Wilson greeting us.
"Hello there Amelia, how are you this fine morning?" he asked.
"Well ya know, same old, same old." I replied and got onto the bus.
"I see we got some freshmeat." Ron stated and pointed at the twins.
"Ya, their the babies of the family!" I cooed.
Both of the boys gave me a glare and pushed past me to take the seats in the back of the bus.
"Wow the last of the Gates, it's amazing! Hey, aren't you a senior this year?" Ron asked and I playfully pouted.
"Well, I'm supposed to be a senior, buttttttt... that didn't work out too well."
Ron just shook his head and chuckled.
We were always the first ones to get picked up so were always got the best seats. I ran down the isle, took a sharp turn and landed on the laps of my brothers
"You just love annoying us don't you?" Bill asked, his hair was spiked and he has his bangs gelled to the side of his face.
"Big sister here, its my job." I laughed and got up, taking the seat in front of the twins.
In a matter of minutes the bus was filled with loud, obnoxious underclassmen. The final stop happened to be the Commander's son and his girlfriend and we were off. I was used to the whole dropping off a cliff and flying into the sky deal so I didn't scream, but my brother's sure did. I didn't pay attention to the flight, but ot off when everyone else did, but not before turning to Tom and Bill.
"No getting into any trouble." I warned."You know how Synyster gets."
"We won't..." they groaned and walked off to follow the rest of the freshies, hand in hand.
i walked by Penny who was doing her chant and I groaned and when she was jumping around going "Oh ya Sky High is number one woohooo!!" I went next to her and started clapping and jumping up and down.
"Oh yes we're number one!! I'm soooo happy!" I said in a completely over-dramatic cheerleader type voice. Penny huffed and gave me a look.
"Get away from me freak."
"Get away fro me freak." I mimicked and flicked off the retreating cheerleader.
I noted that Elasti-boy and the Quicksilver wanna-be started rounding up the freshmen, so I stayed close in case I was needed.
Bill's POV:
I looked at the two idiots before us asking, well more like commanding, a fifteen dollar enterance fee. Tom's hold on my hand tightened, I looked at him and gave his hand a comforting squeeze.
"I'm about ready to blow up." Tom whispered into my ear.
I laughed and leaned in close to his ear, giving him a brief kiss on the cheek and replied."Na, the preppy whore that Amy's held a grudge against since like fifth grade is beating you to it."
"Okay guys, very funny. I'll take over from here." she smiled sweetly and Tom gagged, Georg (whom has been our friend for years along with Gustav) snickered.
"Hey everyone, my name is Gwen Greyson, your student body president. I know you're all going to love it here at Sky High. I know I have..."
Blah, blah, blah, oh my god someone shut this bitch up already. Tom must've been thinking the same thing cause well Gustav burst out laughing, causing the bitch to shut u pand give them a glare before continuing on. We were handed these ugly looking name tags and a permanent marker to write our names on. I wrote 'Bill Gates' on mine and Tom well wrote 'Tom Gates, the sexy beast', I shook my head at him.
'Hmm, Tom is looking very adorable today... makes me wanna kiss him.' I thought to myself, but was brought out of my reverie by Tom who was yanking on my arm to snap out of it and follow the rest of the people into the school. We were lead to the gym where this old lady who looked like a rip off of Wonder Woman and we listened to more boring talk. Then, the gym teacher appeared from the ground and explained about power placement and how his judgement is final.
He first called on this really geeky looking kid named Larry... hmm I think I had him in sixth grade in one of my classes. The bright kid went up and practically embarrased himself and was named sidekick. Hah Ethan was called next, I remembered him funny kid, shy but funny. Then it was the kid with the six arms, then the chick who could turn into a ball, finally it was our old friend Kyle, he could spit acid pretty cool if you ask me. Then it was the girl whom was obsessed with Purple. She turned into a Guinea Pig, sidekick.
"You flower child, let's go." Boomer called on Stronghold's girlfriend.
"I-I believe in only using my powers when the situation demands it." she stuttered.
Tom looked at me and I looked at him and we both whispered at the same time."Hippie."
"Well your in luck, this is the situation and I'm demanding it." Boomer commanded, he looked like he was getting a bit pissed.
"But to participate in this test would be to support a flawed system. I think the whole hero/sidekick iconomy serves to..."
"Stop." Boomer put his hand up and gave her a questioning look."Let me get this straight, are you refusing to show me your powers?"
"Well, its a little more complicated than that... I mean..."
"SIDEKICK!" Boomer shouted, and then the bell ring. Woohooo saved by the bell."Alright will pick this up after lunch... starting with you." he glowered and pointed at Stronghold. I heard the kid gulp and I laughed.
Tom grabbed my hand and we darted towards the cafeteria,we unseemingly kept on getting a line that was supr full so we decided on going to the salad line. Which by the way held a certain hippie. Tom... he just had to flirt.
"Hey, so you're Stronghold's girlfriend right?" he asked, using his skilled tongue to flick his lip ring back and forth.
The red head blushed and shook her head furiously 'no'.
'Well, how about you and me..." before he could finish, I smacked him upside the head and glared at him.
"Stop flirting with her, Thomas." I gritted through my teeth, feeling a weebit jealous.
"Sorry." he apologized and pouted.
"My name is Layla Williams, pleasure to meet you."" she beamed.
"My, My what a beautiful name for a beautiful..."
"Thomas Oliver Gates!" I shouted.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it its so fun!" he whined.
"Not with other people, lets get our lunch and go find Amy." I commanded,
Tom's head dropped, his pout never leaving his face.
"Well, you guys can come sit with me and my friends, oh and you can bring this Amy person with you!" Layla offered with a smile.
Wow, this chick can't stop smiling!
"Amelia is our sister, Amy for short." I explained.
"Oh... okay, that;s pretty cool. What grade is she in?"
"Well, she's supposed to be a senior, but she's a junior." Tom jumped in, as he gathered like two salad plates, one apple, four packs of ranch dressing.
"She failed?"
"On purpose." I snorted.
"Why?"
"If I remember correctly, it was because she love pissing off Boomer, it's like her favorite passtime. Quite hilarious really." I answered, as I gathered my one plate of salad, one banana and two packs of ranch.
Then I noticed Amy walking into the cafeteria.
"Hey fat ass over here!" Tom called.
She scowled and stalked over to us.
"I repeat, at least I have an ass."
Layla looked kinda surprised, I guess she must've saw Amy around the school or on the bus and just didn't know we were related. I don't know how we all look alike. I swear, just give me a hat like Synyster's and I put it on we look almost exactly the same! The only difference is... well he's more buff than I am.
"Hey it's the hippie from the bus!" Amy grinned.
Amelia's POV:
I swear my brother's were gonna get a huge beating when we get home. I noticed the red head and remembered her from the bus as Stronghold's girlfriend. So I greeted her, that was when Mr. Brightside, Erkel, Punk Rocker, and Stronghold showed up next to us.
"Hey Layla, who are your new friends?" Stronghold asked.
"Well, this is Bill, Tom, and Amelia, their older sister."
"So what's your power?" Erkel asked me.
"I make people weak, kinda like Superman's kryptonite, only I'm every superheroes kyrptonite, but I can turn it on and off." I explained.
'That's an interesting power." he exclaimed.
"Names?" I gave them all a look.
"Ethan James." Erkel answered.
"Zach Davis man." Mr. Brightside jumped in.
"Magenta Fellows." the Punk Rocker Chick replied dully.
We all began to search for an empty table, once we found it Will asked the twins a question.
"Are you sure, you are brothers?"
"Yep, identical. Change Tom's dreads to my hair, put our faces together and tada! Instant twinness. It's kinda like our old friends Kaleena and Valkin, onlythey weren't identical but you could tell that they were related." Bill explained.
"You can tell all our family is related when you put us in the same room together." Tom agreed.
Layla had a question burning beneath those brown orbs, I sighed and said something to her.
"Ask and get it over with Layla."
"Are you two... intimate together? I'm sorry, it's just I see the way you look at each other and you were holding hands this morning..."
Will gave her a distorted look."Layla that's incredibly..." but Tom interrupted.
"I guess you can say that,"
"...Wow... dead on." Will finished."That's kinda creepy."
"Actually, it's qite interesting." I began."See, our older brother Synyster and our older sister Valeria decided to come up with a theory. In ancient China, people believed that if Twins are born, mainly fraternal twins, were two people that were deeply in love. So they were reincarnated as siblings, twins to be exact. So Syn and Valeria agreed that Bill and Tom are dead lovers reborn. That's why they are a little Cestual."
"And its okay with you guys?" Zach asked, ocmpletely interested.
"Ugh ya, its not like they can procreate or anything. Besides why would I want to come in between true love? Hell, I wanna find true love." I exclaimed.
It was a few moments before Will looked behind him and gulped.
"Okay, am I just crazy or is that guy looking at me?"
I looked behind him and noted Warren, I snorted and tried to hide my laughter.
"Dude, that's Warren Peace." Zach whispered.
"That's Warren Peace?" Layla looked shocked.
"Ugh yeah." Zach nodded in repsonse.
"Oh I've heard about him, his mom's a hero and his dad's a super villain, Barron Battle."
"So where do I come in?" Will was completely dimwitted I could tell.
"Your dad busted his dad, quadruple life sentence!" Ethan jumped in.
"No cance of parol until after his third life." Magenta added in.
"That's great. Its my first day of Sky High and I already have an arch enemy." Will groaned.
I looked behind Will and noted that Warren was still glaring at the poor kid. He moved his gace to me when he noticed I was looking at him, I smiled sweetly and waved at him. He didn't even acknowledge my wave, when he went back to reading his book. How rude, hmm maybe that's why he's so appealing to me... because he's soooo untouchable!
"I really don't want to go to my next class. So I think I'll go with you guys, just to annoy the hell outta Boomer... ugh Bitch Alert." I groaned as Gwen Greyson and her Cheerleader minion Penny walked by. She gave me a glare, Tom and Bill just burst out laughing.
Bill started to clap and regained his breath."Wow, that was great."
"I swear I thought she was gonna have a BF." Tomm put in his two cents.
"What's a BF?" Ethan asked.
"A Bitch Fit." the twins replied.
"I hate her, because everyone's like 'Gwen this, Gwen that, Gwen's so perfect, Gwen is so sweet.' I am gonna laugh when she turns into a bitter, old, ugly hag with a million cats! I say fuck Gwen!" I ranted.
Everyone but Bill and Tom looked at me weirdly.
"Old rivalry, they used to be really good friends until Gwen became the Queen B, and left poor Amy in the dust." Bill said as he munched on his salad.
"So Amy, has been holding a grudge ever since." Tim finished.
"Envy," Zach stated sadly. "It happens to the best of us."
"Fuck Gwen." I murmured."I hope she gets stabbed in the jaw."
Bill snorted as he tried to cover his laughter.
"Whoever says they like sour apple come and see me after the show, I will be the one stabbing jaws!" Tom burst out.
"Stop reciting Dane Cook!" I shouted.
"But its funnnn"
"No, its annoying!"
"I say fuck bees!"
"Tom, shut up!"
"I will punch every bee in the face!:
"God Dammit! Bill stop laughing its not funny!" I shrieked as Bill almost fell out of his chair and choked on his salad.
After they calmed down from laughing, I sighed in happiness."Finally..."
"BRLLLTTTTT I SAID NO COOKIES!" Tom shouted causing Bill to erupt in laughter once more.
"Oh I hate you..." I grumbled.
"We're your brothers, its our job." Bill used my words against me.
"I hope you guys get fucking abducted." I noticed Tom was about to open his mouth and say something else."Don't. Try it." In response Tom shut his mouth.
When lunch ended, we walked our merry little asses to the gym. I skipped onto the platform and sat right in the middle and waited for Boomer to arrive. I snickered as all the newbs arrived, Boomer soon after them. He jumped onto the platform and gave me a glare.
"What are you doing here?" he asked heatedly.
"I came to see my favorite teacher in the whole wide world of course!" I answered sweetly.
"Don't you have class?" he sneered.
"Maybe, but I thuoght, 'hey why not visit Coach Boomer and help him with all the newbies!' so here I am!" I explained and did the 'tada' stance.
"Fine," he started then pointed at me and with a firm voice he said...
"No using your powers, unless I say so!"
"Damn, just ruin my fun!" I pouted and sulked off to the ed of the platform and sat down.
Will sulked his way up the little stiars and figeted in front of Boomer.
I snickered, awe he was nervous how cute!
He stepped closer to Boomer and motioned him to lean down a bit. Boomer gave him a questioning gaze.
"What do you mean you don'tknow what your power is?" Boomer shouted.
Will gave a cough and looked around, he looked like he was gonna shit his pants in embarassment.
"Oh I got it, your messing with the coach, just like your old man. Car!" Boomer stated and pressed his red button and BAM the car came down and Will was lucky enough cause he swiftly fell to the floor just as the car hit the ground.
Will peaked out from under the car, oh shit I think he really did shit his pants this time.
"ARE YOU INSANE?" Will squeaked.
Then Will went sailing and he finally admitted that he didn't have any powers and Boomer glared.
"Stronghold... SSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDEEEEEEEKKKKIIIIIICCCCKKK" wow that was loud, I though I was gonna fall off the platform, now that would've hurt. Good thing I didn't but it sure as fuck hurt my ears.
"Hey Boomer, OW. I think my ears are gonna bleed!" I taunted.
"Then go away!"
"Nope I'm good... its kinda fun watching you humiliate the freshies and make them shit their pants. I see why you enjoy it so much." I pointed out.
Boomer groaned and pointed at another freshie to come up and what a coincidence it was Tom. My baby borther walked up onto the stage and I just grinned.
"Name?" Boomer stared.
"Thomas Gates." my brother replied smirked.
"Another one!" Boomer looked at me and I thought he was gonna have a heart attack."How many of you are there?" Boomer asked in disbelief.
"Just five including my twin brother William." Tom replied and pointed at Bill who waved from the crowd.
"Hopefully you two are the last." Boomer grumbled.
"Well, for now anyway unless Synyster or Valeria decide to have sex and well have little thems running around, ya pretty much." Tom gleamed.
I've taught my brothers' well, I sniffed and gave Tom the thumbs up.
"Show me your power." boomer ignored that last comment.
Tom looked at me then looked at Bill, Bill grabbed the nearest thing to him which happened to be this blond chicks hair clip.
Bill ignored her as he threw her barret up to Tom who with the blink of his eyes made it explode into tiny little pieces.
"Hero... the final Gates, up here NOW."
Tom jumped off the stage and gave me two thumbs up, which I returned.
"Power?" Boomer asked Bill.
"Well, I need something." Bill said boredly, looking at his black manicured nails.
I shot up and grabbed Boomer's extra pen and handed it to him.
"Go get'm tiger!" I exclaimed and ran back over to my spot and acted innocent.
He enclosed his hand around the slim object and waited, I started coutning down in my head. 'Three.. two... one..' Then the pen blew up, in his hand, good thing he's immune to his own power.
"Just what we all need, bad enough with one suicide bomber, now we got its evil twin. Hero." He was quite reluctant to give my brother his final say.
Oh well.
Soon all the freshmeat were sorted and wow alot of sidekicks this year. I was amazed, I guess not alot of super heroes are reproducing with other supers. Even though I have no room to talk, my father was normal, I guess my mom wanted a semi-normal life, but hey we didn't get it. I don't remember much, I just remember dad dying and mom was really depressed, then a few years later she died in action. So Synyster came back, I don't remember why he left or where he went, and Valeria came back as well, to take care of us.
It was tough for a while since Valeria was the only one supporting us with her slow business of being a tatoo artist since she was just starting out. Then finally Synyster's band got signed and all money problems went away.
"Hey Amy, don't forget to remind Syn that Tom and I are going with Gustav and Georg to practice." Bill said.
"I know, I know, you and your little buddies are going have an orgy." I giggled when Bill and Tom glared at me.
"Band practice, whatever you wanna call it. I'll remind him, don't worry your spikey little head!"
Bill groaned."The last time you siad thay you forgot to tell Syn and we ended up grounded!"
"That was one time okay! One time!" I argued.
"Don't forget you got piano practice today too." Bill reminded me once again.
"How could I forget?" I laughed.
"True, anyway see ya."
"See ya when you get home baby bro! Have fun with your little friends!" I waved good-bye to the twerps and jumped on the bus... alone.
Well, not really alone. I'll have wonder boy, the hippie, Mr. Brightside, and and Erkel, Puck Rocker Chick with me.
I sat in a seat behind Will and Layla, this geeky kid decided to sit next to me. I remembered on how he asked Layla out earlier this morning and internally groaned.
"Hi, I'm Larry." he started.
"Hi, I'm a lesbian!" I replied.
He kinda gave me a weird look like he liked it and Magenta growled.
"Hey rock face back off of my woman!" Larry gulped and ran to another seat. After Larry went away, the other just burst out laughing.
After they calmed down a bit, Will turned to look at me.
"So when do you get off?"
"First to get on, last to get off." I sniffled. "It's so evil."
the bus ride went pretty fast until I was alone so I sat in the front and talked to Ron until my stop came up.
"See you tomorrow melia!" he waved good-bye.
"Bye Ron!" I waved back.
And that ends my first day back at Sky High.
to be continued....
