Apollo Kent took a deep breath as he stood in the center of a large field. He looked at all the tall grass growing around him in the sprawling meadow. He spun around and saw they were no people around him for miles. He took another deep breath and tried to concentrate. His mind was all over the place and he couldn't afford for it to be right now not only because it was the last week of his freshman year of high school but also because there was a lot at stake here. He needed to clear his mind but he was thinking about a lot of things; school, friends and Skye. His first year of high school had been good. Apollo was more popular now, he wasn't a social butterfly but he was no longer the lonely and bullied kid he once was, it helped that he was tall and muscular and that he excelled in basically anything he did. He was basically at the top of all of his classes thanks to his seemingly superhuman intelligence. Apollo had always learnt at an accelerated rate and when combined with his perfect memory and his 'super computer brain' as Chloe called it, it meant that all of his classes were a breeze to him. He had also gotten a reputation of flake and a guy with a major Captain America complex constantly running off to help people but as far as Apollo was concerned it wasn't too bad. If his worst quality was that he was always saving people and involved in heroic incidents he'd take it. Luckily none of his known incidents were that big and could be brushed off as him being the good Samaritan he had been his entire life and the ones that were big he was gone long before anyone even knew what happened. Apollo had no regrets though, he liked saving people, he liked helping them, seeing people happy and feeling safe made him feel complete because he was doing something with his gifts that benefitted the world around him. At school Apollo was a member of the school paper with Chloe and Pete and Coach Quigley was hoping he would play for the Crows and Apollo wanted to even though he knew his Dad deeply disliked the idea of him doing competitive sports like that. His friendships with Chloe and Pete were great as being a part of a small club made them all even closer. Chloe was more inquisitive than anyone he knew and even though it could be too much he knew her heart was usually always in the right place and Pete was steady and chill, he was the guy who was somehow able to know everyone and be friendly with them because nobody could truthfully say a bad or weird thing about him. As for Skye just the thought of her made his hearts race, if he was truthful to himself he had a crush on her since the moment he saw he just didn't know it. She was smart, sarcastic and witty, a little nerdy and feisty but she also the prettiest girl Apollo knew. He had asked her to their end of year dance and was elated to have her say yes. Apollo constantly running off to save people meant that whenever he and her shared a moment he sometimes had to go and he thought she would say no but she hadn't. Apollo was happier than he thought possible when she said yes and he was very excited for the dance, he was hoping to ask her to be his girlfriend there. If everything went to plan, which meant he needed to focus now.
