CHAPTER TWO

When you have a superhero as a teacher you can't get away with anything. Not that it's usually me that's trying to whisper in class. No, the only other super villain in the school is Max, and he's right in the middle of that little gang that makes up the rest of the students. I know he and Trent are supposed to be enemies, but somehow it doesn't look like that during the normal classes. If anything, the only one who isn't a part of their gang is me. Yeah, I'm the odd man out in the entire school.

I would sit on the opposite side of the classroom if I could, but there's only six desks in the room, so I wind up stuck in the very front, with Sunny on one side, Emily on the other, and Zoe, Max and Trent behind me. I'm surrounded by the group I don't belong in. Do you have any clue how awkward that is?

Especially when Emily very discreetly (or at least I think she's trying to be discreet) places a cat toy on my desk. I turn, giving her a sharp look. "Are you trying to make fun of me?" I whisper as quietly as I can.

She shakes her head. "No! I just... it's cute," she whispers back. "It's an apology present."

"Ahem," Blackjack says pointedly. "Math time is now, play time is later, understand?" The wiry looking illusionist points at the toy. "Put it away, Cub."

"But--" I groan inwardly, mostly because he clearly believes I want to play with the cat toy, and put the toy in my pocket, knowing I'm blushing. "Fine," I say. "Apology accepted," I add in a whisper. The brilliant grin I get in return makes me want to hit my forehead on the desk. How can she be so annoying and so cute all at the same time? And why is Sunny digging through his pockets all of a sudden?

He grunts and pulls out a brownie wrapped in cellophane and puts it on my desk. I look at him. "An apology gift," he whispers.

"Does anyone else want to give Cub a present?" Blackjack asks, impatiently.

"I do!" Zoe says, digging in her bag and reaching forward so she's waving a mechanical pencil with a black toy cat hanging from a chain at the top. "It makes me think of you," she says.

"Wh--I'm not exactly sure if any of you are thinking at all," I say.

"Well, he asked," Zoe says, dropping the pencil. I grab it instinctively, looking at it with a little smile. The toy cat is cute.

"Um... thank you," I say, not sure what else to say. I'm REALLY not sure what to say when Trent reaches forward, putting a pack of gum on my desk, or when Max puts a hostess cupcake next to it.

"Now can we get back to the class?" Blackjack asks. I'm just staring at the things on my desk, wondering if this is some sort of trick--I mean, I'm a super
