What The Luck!?

" Asher Ronan report to the principal's office. Asher Ronan report to the principal's office" The loud speaker announced that he was needed in the principal's office. Asher stopped in his tracks knowing that he would not be able to meet his friends to walk home. Instead he was sure to get in trouble.

'What happened that I am about to get yelled at now. Ugh Cara definitely heard that and if she gets home before me mom and dad are going to kill me.' Asher was mortified by how much trouble he would be in when he returned. His mother was going to tear his very soul from his body and put him through so many chores as punishment that any happiness in life would be gone.

The principal's office was on the top floor of the school which was reserved for all the faculty offices of the high school. This was something had been known to everyone in Asher's memories however he was noticing some differences. The offices in this world had much higher technology, there were many more security cameras all over the campus along with more advanced computers on the desks.

It would seem that there were many staff without classes that were monitoring the students for safety. Yet there was also the fact that some were recording notes on what they students were doing. In particular some very familiar students that Asher had just seen waiting in line for their evo shots the other day. 'These people are watching us for results after put shots. How creepy.'

Asher knew that this was something he had signed up for by having the shot and attending the school. The hero corporation had most likely given documentation to parents on how much safer it was and explained that it would also be used for the future generations. They would readily sign the waivers and such not even thinking about how the children would feel themselves.

Walking past this he felt a little more agitated but couldn't find anything to direct the anger at except for himself for not being wiser about how things work in the world. This wasn't avoidable in a way.

Coming to a larger oak door he looked upwards at a golden plaque with long cursive black writing. The fancy letters made up headmaster, which had been used many years prior. 'Well I might as well get this over with.' Asher took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come on in Asher." The gruff voice echoed in his head. Feeling a little disoriented Asher pulled open the door revealing a large office. The desk was massive and stacked with papers that threatened to fall in to an avalanche at any moment.

"Hello sir. I am Asher Ronan." Asher tried to say this out loud but realized he was only thinking it.

"Yes, it is nice to meet you Asher. Do not be put off by my power. I was born mute but when I received my power it was telepathic communication. My evo shot literally gave me a voice. I form channels in our minds to speak, it is very useful for managing the school building."

The man that leaned from behind the paperwork as this mental message was sent to Asher was wearing a clean white suit. His white hair was slicked back perfectly with not a single strand sticking out anywhere. The wrinkles around his eyes showed that he was someone who often smiles. This gave Asher a reassuring feeling.

"I am sure you are worried about why you were called here. It is in no means a negative meeting and I hope you can relax a little." Hearing this Asher felt his shoulders lose some of the tension. "I have already sent a letter to your parents home with your sister. It was about the incident the other night with the police. I received their report since it is strictly prohibited to be using powers that could be dangerous outside your school. I have reviewed your files and found that you have a power not yet documented and decided it is best to speak to you. From what the officer said they do not believe you used your power but somehow still kept the would be robber occupied. This is a great feat for a hero let alone a student."

Asher stood a little taller at this praise. Every time he thought he was about to be reprimanded he ended up being complimented. "What worried me is that you may have gone looking for this on purpose. When someone gets their evo shot and has a super power it is very exciting I know. You must not abuse it though. There are many who try and end up in poor situations. I believe that you have a bright future ahead of you so please stay focused."

'There it is, he totally thinks I went looking for trouble...I wonder how often he has this conversation.' Asher took a deep breath before he replied. He needed to make sure that his reply was as sincere as possible. "Sir, I promise you that I was not looking for trouble. I live right near there and so does my friend. She stayed for dinner and I walked with her home. On my way back I was distracted thinking about some stuff and bumped in to that guy. After that it's just as the police report must say. It was all a strange situation."

The principle looked at him carefully. Asher was still a little on edge since the principal's lips wouldn't move to signal that he would be speaking and instead he would just talk in his head. 'He must scare a lot of people this way.' Asher was thinking this to himself when the principal gave him an even more curious look.

"You know...I can still tell what you are thinking when you direct it at me." Asher was instantly embarrassed and even jumped a little. The principle smiled knowing that he had just scared Asher completely. Unfortunately for the principle, as soon as Ashers' food fell back making the floor vibrate there was a domino effect.

The vibrations in the floor gave the precariously stacked papers on the principles desk a chance to start to fall. The first one slipped making the principal reach out to grasp it. Yet this was a fatal mistake. Asher watched in awe and the stack seemed to wobble in slow motion and then suddenly topple over the principal. The papers had claimed their victim drawing him in the sea of paperwork yet to be filed away.

"Well sir I should leave you to your work, have a nice night." Asher saw his chance and bolted out the door. 'If I am fast enough I can still walk home with Jane and Art.'

"Wait I recommended you for…" The principal felt the papers shift and was unable to focus enough in his power to tell Asher the full reason he sent his family a letter home with his sister ahead of him.

Asher was able to dodge down the stairs much faster than he had expected, no other student seemed to be in his path. The ones that were he easily swooped around. The front entrance came in to his full view and lucky for him the two faces he had been hoping to see. "So what did you get in trouble for today? Don't tell me they banned you from cooking classes?" Art asked him as he ran to join them.

"Huh? Why would I be banned from cooking classes? I definitely aced that class today/" Asher was clueless as he could be making Art flinch.

Jane gave Art a look, however the true feelings did not seem to reach him since her mask kept her facial expressions hidden. 'I will yell at you later' She made this promise to herself so that Art would be learning his lesson. "I hope it was a good talk or just something with paper work." Jane herself was concerned though. What if Asher had turned out to be a secretive trouble maker. 'He's so mysterious' Jane was looking at Asher with a whole new view.

"No he just wanted to give me a talk about what happened the other night when I walked you home. He thought I was out looking for trouble since I wanted to be a hero and stuff." He couldn't get the idea out of his head that rushing away for the principle drawing in paper work may have been a bad idea.

" Are you in trouble for it? You explained it all clearly?" Jane feared that the short conversation had not been good enough to clear Asher of any suspicion.

"Well yeaaaa I should be fin-" Asher was going to say fine but in that moment he remembered that the principal had sent his sister home ahead of him with a letter for his parents. "I'm so not fine!"
