“What the…” I said out loud as I stared at my hands in shock. There was a dark blue light shooting out of my hands. Okay….

The light didn’t feel hot or cold, and it didn’t hurt at all. It… tingled. Just like the feeling in my gut. Except this tingling felt more focused, more concentrated into one area of my body—my hands.

Suddenly, the light from both hands condensed into about half a dozen tiny balls of light that floated a couple inches above my palms. I could feel the balls of light pulsing energy, as if they were additional fingers, connected to me somehow. They rotated in a ring between my hands, and then formed a shape that looked familiar. What’s going on? I thought.

The energy and tingling began to fade, and the balls of light slowly disappeared. All I could feel were the cold drops of rain landing on my hands. I was so confused with what’d just happened. I was in the middle of a fight with Ray, and then little balls of light came out of my hands. Yeah. That’s weird.

Packs of students were bunched on the corners of the plaza. They kept their distance, but inched closer to see what was going on. I could see students and teachers through the windows of the class halls, packed around the windows to get a glimpse. I felt self- conscious again about people seeing me use my powers.

Ray launched himself into the sky, flying high above the school buildings. I heard several students gasp as they watched. Ray flew directly above me. I arched my back and covered my eyes to keep the rain out of them, looking up at him. He was trying a new strategy.

He plunged from the sky, basically trying to stomp me into the ground. I barely dodged in time as he slammed into the grass, forming a muddy imprint. He moved a lot faster when he flew, an advantage he had on me.

Ray was right next to me now. He started throwing punches. I’m sure that to the on looking students and teachers our movements were so fast they couldn’t pick them up. But to me, Ray’s moves seemed just like normal. Actually, a little slower than they did before.

I blocked and dodged each of his punches and kicks. This was turning out so much better than the last time we fought. Ray was getting frustrated, angered that he couldn’t hit me. He started screaming with each punch and swinging harder, but I was still able to block them, though his blows were beginning to numb my arms.

Ray feigned a punch and caught me off balance. He lowered his shoulder and tackled me. Instead of drilling me into the ground, the lifted me high into the air. My stomach dropped to my ankles as he flew me toward the grey clouds. I tried kneeing and elbowing him, but he grappled me into a head lock. I squirmed, but couldn’t break his grasp, my vision already going blurry.
