What The Luck!?

"Make sure you get all your friends to come to the obstacle course when they get here." Dia waved and left them to deal with their own mud covered situation.

"Oh, I'll bring my friends. And we will crush the obstacle." Asher's face held an evil grin.

"Why do you need to crush it?" Jackson was surly look at Asher like he was crazy under his mud covered face.

"How else will I show off? It's not like I can do a cool flip or something."

Laura stifled a laugh, "why is doing a flip the next coolest thing you think of when comparing beating the obstacle course?"

"Well the zip line is pretty cool, but I most likely couldn't do a flip before camp and if I somehow manage it now it would be cool technically. It's just logical coolness."

The two just held back their lighter, "so you're saying there's a science to coolness? Should we call you professor cool?"

Asher took Laura's teasing seriously, "no, I'm pretty sure there is already a super hero with ice super powers named professor cool." The sad tone in Asher's made it even funnier.

"This is my stop, I'll see you guys for dinner." Jackson left them for one of the general cabins he had been staying in. Laura was a little stuck. Now she needed to go pay points for her to get a cabin.

"I can go to the luxury cabin but once I'm there I'm stuck. I want to take another walk through the camp so I'll hit the river if you want?" Asher was mostly offering to be nice but instead, Laura turned bright red.

"I thought you were an innocent nice guy." She was tightly hiding her muddy covered clothes and body.

"Huh? Well if you want to go off in the forest alone that's fine, you did it already so I doubt you're worried about bears or snakes or whatever." Asher just brushed it off. 'If she doesn't want me to be nice and watch her back I'll just go by myself.'

"Snakes? You can't joke about that. There are no snakes here, they would have caught them all and made them leave before campers come here. My parents said so for sure."

Laura's face had become pale under the mud, her voice was slightly shaky. Asher had no idea of why the change had just occurred but he had a small theory. "So not afraid of bears, I'm sure you're faster."

"Pfft, bears are slow and fat. Of course, I'm faster." Laura returned to her slightly aloof and arrogant personality.

"I have heard that snakes have a fast reflex though. Could bite before someone blinked."

"Mhm…" Laura just responded quietly. It was as if she was trying to hide the things Asher had just said.

"Of course there are water snakes around. There must be food for them in the river. Naturally, they can't all be taken away, the river is a good hiding place."

Laura was frozen in fear at Asher's words. She was nearly shaking. "You offered to guard me while I washed up, right? I'll make you stand away from me, and if you turn around and aren't keeping an eye on the upstream of the river I will drop you off the cliff."

'She's afraid of snakes, good to know' Asher had a slightly devilish grin but he also had not wanted to wash up alone. He could hope his luck would save him from a bear, but he was too slow to outrun it 'Yeah, safer to go with someone. I might have my lucky super power but it doesn't mean I won't run in to a bear.'

"I will do my utmost to protect you, my lady." Asher bowed with drama making Laura scoff, she did feel more at ease going to the snakes' river with another person around.

The two walked their way towards the river. The good part about the twisting and turning areas was that there were plenty of places that the water built up in to pools like the one Jackson had fallen in when they jogged to the camp for the first time.

"You said you are in class one right? Does everyone else have powers like yours? Or are they wild and crazy like the rumors say class one is?" Laira had been wondering this for a while. The school had many rumors like any high school would. But when it came to class one some people avoided it because they were said to be the most dangerous students. Mostly because they didn't usually have proper control over their super powers.

"Well, My friend Art is like his family and can control metal. The only problem is he specifically can only control lead, kinda poisonous you know? Then my friend Jane gained a lot from her super power. She had sharp nails and some scaley skin. Oh and her hair turned purple, but she also freezes people on the spot. Like not ice, but you just can't move when you look at her face, pretty dangerous in the regular world."

So it's not that they are dangerous people, but their super powers could cause some problems." Laura was catching on that the rumors may have been slightly twisted as they were passed on person to person.

"Then there is Louis who has a lightning body super power. He probably has one of the cooler super powers, well, when he isn't frying electronics or worried about zapping people. Oh, and his cousin Sammy is in our class too and she can control the wind. I'm pretty sure she will be learning to fly soon." Asher's head bobbed as he nodded. It was one of his first times bragging about his friends to anyone else.

"So don't touch the mud pit of the river when Louis is around, got it. And try to avoid the cliff when Sammy is climbing it." Laura mumbled out loud as she made not to avoid these problems. "Oh, wasn't there that girl in your class that always has boys fawning over her? How does she do that? Is her family rich or something?"
