5 Four (1/2)

I sat in the desk and forced my eyes opened. There had been a few cla.s.ses that pa.s.sed and I was now in math yet bored out of my mind. I couldn't stay awake and I wasn't the only one. There were so many students who had their heads on their desks with their eyes closed tightly. Groaning, I sat my head up only to see a unknown man standing next to Professor Brown. He handed her a paper before exiting the cla.s.sroom.

Clearing her throat, Professor Brown opened the paper and read it. I watched as she stared at the paper in confusion before speaking, ”Carter and Melanie, you're needed in Mr Franklin's office!”

Confused, I stood up and grabbed my books before leaving the cla.s.sroom with Melanie following behind me quietly. We walked down the huge halls in silence and I ended up letting Melanie lead the way since I had no idea where Mr Franklin's office was. We turned down a small hallway. There were no other doors on this hall except one. Melanie placed her hand on the k.n.o.b before pus.h.i.+ng the door open. We stepped in and  I looked around the huge office in shock as I stared at the other group of students who sat here. Sitting in the chairs were Sarah, Mikey, Kimberly, Dillion, Liam, and Kasey. I wanted to run towards them and hug them all but I had to realize what was really going on.

”Melanie and Carter, have a seat!” Mr Franklin said. Slowly, I sat in the desk next to Sarah and waited for him to continue to speak.

”I have picked 8 mutants who are quite similar in many ways to train and be apart of something spectacular!”

”Like what?” Liam asked. I looked over at him. He looked the same. He wore his brown and navy blue uniform like everyone else except his jacket had white marks on the front that scratched out the Zims Academy logo.

”You're all connected in many ways and I believe that with you all working together as a team, you could be the strongest!”

”How are we connected?”

”There's something special about you 8 and it is something that we can't figure out but it is odd that you all are born one day after each other!”

”I'm not here to be apart of a team,” Dillion yelled from the back of the office.

”Mr. Franklin,” Sarah started.

”Call me Bob,”

”Bob, I just came to graduate so I can just go off into the real world! I don't think we'd work well together as a team! I barely know them except for Carter,”

”I figured you'd say that!” Bob spoke. He tossed a newspaper on the table and the rest of us quickly leaned forward to see what it was.

”Murder or Suicide? Body found outside the gates of Zims!” Melanie read out loud.

”At first we thought that it was suicide but we know that it is not!” Bob answered.

”How do you know?” I found myself asking.

”The body had been choked by something but there were no fingerprints and the item that was used was not on the scene and it still hasn't been found plus the body was frozen,”

”Frozen?” Mikey asked.

Bob nodded, ”It was inside a huge block of ice and that is when we realized that it was a mutant who killed this one! There will be a curfew announced in a few hours because whoever it is could still be in Zims and we don't want anyone getting hurt!”

I felt a chill run down my spine. Sarah stared at me in confusion for a few seconds before slowly turning her head back towards Bob.

History was repeating itself.

”I think if we can get some of the strongest mutants to become a team and train them that you guys could maybe help figure out who is doing this?” Bob finished.

”This is a suicide mission!” Liam exclaimed.

Mikey jumped up, ”I agree with him! You're the adults! Do it yourselves!”

”I will do it! I'll do anything to save anyone!” Dillion said while standing up. Mikey scoffed and pushed him as he fell near me. He placed his hand on my arm and gasped.

”You're as cold as ice!”

Everyone in the room turned their attention towards me. I stared straight ahead and didn't say a word to anyone. Sarah quickly pushed Dillion out of the way and bent down towards me. She placed her hand on my forehead and sighed.

”She's been ill lately,” She explained.

Mikey touched my arm, ”She's freezing! I don't think it is normal to be that cold!”
