3 The New

10 years later

"Wake up everyone! Everyone wake up!" A voice called out. Eyes half asleep, I looked at my alarm clock. It was still five in the morning, an hour early than the usual wake up routine. Already hating the day, I woke up and got out of my bed. I looked my room, old, dangerous, and smelly. To sleep in here is a risk both to my sanity and my body.

I walk towards the bathroom, carefully stepping at the creaking floor. I am convinced that if I step at a wrong place, I might plummet down into the folks down floor. I looked at my swollen face, it's been a while since I shaved. I can visibly see the growing hair under my chin. Ignoring my growing chin hair, I opened the faucet only to find out that there was no water coming out from it.

"I guess no morning face wash. Great." I Grumbled to myself. I, then, walked towards my cabinet. I changed into my school uniform, and quickly placed my used PJs and underwear in a ziplock and threw them down the laundry shoot.

"Zion, come on let's go." My friend, Theo Walcott stated. He was already ready to go, backpack on and everything. I grabbed my bag that was hanging on for dear life on the cracked wall.

"So buddy, how are you holding up? Still don't know your ability?" He questioned as he took a huge bite of his sandwich. I looked at the sandwich he was eating, my mouth started to drool at the sight of the delicious sandwich he was holding. I haven't eaten breakfast yet and my stomach was very eager to have something in it. He noticed me eyeing his food.

"By the look of your ridiculous face, you want it don't you?" He chuckled, mouth still full because of that one big bite he just took.

"Can I?" Pleaded a very hungry Zion. I was hungry and desperate enough to whip out my puppy eyes that I rarely use.

"Sure you can, we're best buds aren't we?" He smiled, my whole being screamed happily at that response. Finally I can make my stomach to shut up. He gave me the half eaten sandwich and I instantly ate it, a few seconds later it was gone.

"Dang Zion, your that hungry?"

"Yup, and I am still hungry to be honest."

As we continue to walk towards our classroom, we stumbled upon a guy cornering a helpless guy, pinning him and not letting him go.

"Guys come on, knock it off. Isn't it too early for bullying James?" I announced, James looked at me in disgust. He lets the guy he was pinning a while ago escape and started to walk towards us, his dark hazel brown eyes turn dark and painted with the annoyance. His skin starts to crack and his hair started to turn into actual fire.

"You talking to me "No Ability"? Cause if you are, I am happy to disintegrate you into ashes." He growled, I looked at him straight in his now black eyes. Not even flinching when one of his little flame burned my arm.

"Yes I'm talking to you. Is there a James Lao right in front of me except you?" I snapped back, he was taken a back from my response. Now completely pissed, his flames became larger and more violent than before, he raised his fist up in the air. He was about to punch me when a teacher saw us and stopped what was about to become a school brawl.

"Cut it out you two. The three of you, cafeteria now." He demanded. I was incredibly lucky for his interruption, if he wasn't there to stop James, I would've gotten my ass kicked or worse a serious third degree burn.

"Thank youu Mr. Ortega." Theo quipped.

"But seriously, you are down right insane for doing that. You know yoy don't want to make James Lao angry." He added.

"I know but someone needs to help that poor guy he was bullying." Theo was absolutely right and what I did was just asking for a death sentence to myself.

Theo and I had to use the men's room before we eat breakfast so we arrived at the very busy cafeteria a couple of seconds late than usual. We took almost everything that the cafeteria offers for breakfast, this school may have numerous things that make me want to escape and run away but not the food, it's one of the things that Hellviana is actually good at. Food. Sitting down at our usual spot at the cafeteria we started eating breakfast as we wait for our friends to come, they are usually late or we're just really early.

"Sorry we're late. Again." A voice called out. I looked around to see who it was, I smile as the said friends are now walking towards our table.

In a school this "high calibre" you will need a group of friends ready to support you. Thankfully I have one.

Theo Walcott was my first best friend after I got in this special school. He lived a wealthy life with his father, step mother, and his two other siblings. He used to live in London before his father decided to give him to Hellviana: Home to the Elite and Extraordinaire after he found out that he can fly and use the wind to cut through solid walls. He was the one that help me through my first days at Hellviana.

Octavia Porter came after Theo, she was a very shy girl before. She barely even talk to anyone and to us. She later gained confidence and became the most talkative person I know. She has a hard time joining us since the girls dormitory is far away from ours but that didn't hinder us to have a great time with her. Her abilities is actually pretty impressive, she can bend anything containing metal. From spoons and forks to metal bars and bullets. She grew up in the states with a financially blessed foster parents, they loved her and treated her like she was their actual daughter. She was relocated to Hellviana two years after their adoption. She accidentally murdered her foster parents with her abilities, that made her traumatized. She vowed to herself to never use her abilities outside from doing simple things like bending spoons and metal bars, fearing that she might take another innocent life.

Jessie Chase Pascual came lastly. She was a like a mexican royalty before. Due to her father's business and her mother's modelling. She had numerous maids assisting her growing up, and had epic birthday parties that cost millions of dollars, eventually everything deteriorated. Her mother lost her modelling career after numerous scandals of her having an affair with a woman, her father found out about it and he was depressed enough to take his own life. Her father's company later became bankrupt. All of this happened when she was developing her abilities. Her mother found out about her extraordinary capabilities prompting her to blame everything that has happened to her and send her to Hellviana. This instead motivated Jessie to strive harder in life, not letting anyone to pin her down not even life itself. Her abilities are what made her feel safe and unique. She can heal minor or serious wounds and control the ground beneath her making her one of the most powerful Hellvanian Elite.

And lastly you have me. I came from a successful and famous family in the Philippines. I missed my family and often dream about them. My parents enrolled me in Hellviana two days after my 7th birthday celebration. I haven't been able to see or even know my ability or abilities, I don't even know if I am an Extraordinaire. That was the reason why people have been calling me "No Ability".

"Have you guys heard it yet?" Octavia unexpectedly inquired making me snap out of my daydream.

"What is it Octavia?" Theo quickly asked, intrigued by it. Octavia is usually the one that gives us news and juicy updates since she is pretty much a gossip listener, plus she's friends with practically everyone. So whenever she uses the words "Have you guys heard it yet" together, she's basically about to inform us and she wants everyone's attention.

Now curious about what's her latest news, we looked at her with full attention. Before she began to spoke, she had to take a quick bite on her breakfast.

"We're waiting Octavia. What's the latest tea for today?" Jessie chirped, Octavia started to chew faster and after a couple of seconds she gulped and began telling us the her news or gossip.

"I heard a rumor that you stopped breathing." She laughed afterwards, Jessie jokingly slapped her on the head.

"Don't you dare spoil me on Umbrella Academy 2 I haven't had the time to watch it yet." Jessie said.

"Okay but seriously, while I was walking, on my way to pick up Jessie over here. I heard a rumor." She whispered, we all have to come closer to her for us to hear what she was saying.

"What is it?" I asked. Octavia looked at me and smiled.

"We are moving to a brand new facility."
