Chapter 4

That day Jake decided to eat alone, to catch up on his homework. He picked up his lunch and sat at an isolated table. He did his chores. But his thoughts were interrupted, with a girl saying nothing, sitting at the table. She was blond with light eyes, wore the AU sweatshirt. He bit into the piece of pizza violently.

(Girl) - What are you looking at? - she asked irritably.

(Jake) - Nothing. - replied turning his attention to the notebook.

(Boy) - Can I sit here? - a boy holding the tray asked.

(Jake) - Sure.

The boy is black, looking friendly, wearing a sweatshirt under his uniform. He drank the soda until he looked at the girl.

(Boy) - Carol! You here?

(Carol) - Shut up, just because we are in the same class, I gave this freedom.

(Boy) - We are best friends.- he said to Jake.

(Carol) - We are not !! - she said, while hitting him.

(Jake) - What room are you from? he asked, closing the book.

(Carol) - 1-A. - replied putting the soda.

(Boy) - And you?

(Jake) - 1-D.

(Boy) - Support. Ah, I remembered, my name is Drake.

(Jake) - I'm Jake.

(Drake) - So Jake was your decision to enter the support course?

(Jake) - Yes.

(Drake) - Wow. But why? Is your individuality so useless? he asked, bringing the soda back to his mouth.

(Jake) - I don't feel like using my power, due to lack of control, so I chose a course that doesn't need so much ...

(Carol) - Are you imbecile? What a fucking thought.

(Jake) - What do you mean?

(Carol) - Not even the group of heroes has perfect control of individualities. It all depends ...

(Drake) - Your goal. For example I want to become a hero, to help my family financially.

(Carol) -I want to get over my sister. Is that you ?

Jake looked at the window. Remembering six years ago.

"(Jake) - I WILL BECOME THE BEST HERO IN THE UNITED STATES. EQUAL ALL MIGHT."

(Jake) - You are right. I haven't even tried.

(Drake) - If your individuality is so difficult to control, don't you think that a teacher can help?

(Jake) - I hadn't thought of that.

(Carol) - Idiot.

The bell rang, everyone started going to their rooms. Drake said goodbye. Jake was packing up when Carol came over to him.

(Carol) - I know you didn't want to be in the support course, you can see it on your shit face. You have a broken dream, is that you think. To be a hero, you have to overcome difficulty, as our motto says, PLUS ULTRA. Find a motivation, but before that, what does it mean to be a hero to you? - Said that leaving him.

"What does it mean to be a hero?" He asked himself, as he rotated the pen, in the middle of class. But he realized that there was a person who could answer his question.
