Since we had a question pertaining to the unknown and anyone we told would think we were crazy, our only bet was to ask the Pirate Queen. To everyone else she was known as Ms. West, but to a select few who knew her personally, this was her title. She wouldn’t question us or look at us like we had multiple heads; she would help us find out what was going on. Now that’s the kind of person anyone should look up to; someone who listens to and understands us teenagers. If Big Brother has a problem with that, he can shove it, because it’s rare to find an adult that doesn’t disregard every single word coming out of the mouth of someone under the age of eighteen.
“Thank you,” Ms. West said politely, taking the papers from her.
Kayla turned, purposely flipping her hair into the air, then walked out. “That,” we said in unison, responding to Ms. West’s previous question.
“Depressing, isn’t it?” she said mournfully. “Even in the Other World our school is still ruled by them.”
“The what?” we echoed.
“I can’t believe I’ve never told you,” Ms. West replied. “The Other World is a place that lies between the worlds of dream and reality. Have you ever noticed things that you can’t explain? Strange events that seem impossibly surreal? Of course you have, you’ve just explained to me such an occurrence.”
We all looked at her skeptically, then she added, “Have I ever done anything that would cause you to mistrust me? I would never lie to any of you.”
“But,” Addy said slowly. “Why our school?”
“It’s not only this school,” Ms. West responded. “I guess you could call what you saw a ‘specter’. They appear anywhere there is an unseen problem that needs to be resolved. They are the inhabitants of this place I call the Other World.”
“What exactly do you think this problem is?” I asked, intrigued.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Kitty said quite matter-of-factly. “Our school is terrorized by the popular kids. I say it needs to be put to an end!”
“And how do you suppose we go about that?” Lucas asked. “How can we change something that has gone on for an eternity?”
“I know exactly how,” Kitty responded triumphantly. “We show them whose boss. We get them so bad they’ll wish they never messed with us!”
“How?”
“Well, I haven’t thought that far ahead."
“So if we solve this problem,” I began, “then the specters will leave?”
“Theoretically, yes,” Ms. West replied.
“I say we do it!” Addy exclaimed. “It’s time those punks get their just desserts!”
“Now we just need a plan…” Kitty thought aloud.

eWonderfully, I can't wait to see how they solve this problem! The Pirate Queen is dead on too, very funny at just the right times...was Kayla actually based on Kayla??
This is extremely unrealistic, just so you know. Even an undead Kayla wouldn't screw with me.

Haha, you got that right!
DUDE!!
So awesome.
I'm just sayin'.
And don't worry, another superhero story is on the way... The end of last week was a bit hectic...Damn ninjas discovered where I live.
And I've got the bruises to prove it.
