What The Luck!? Chapter 8
Advertisement
Asher sat on an empty bench alone basking in the sunlight and breeze of the rooftop. "I'm such an idiot. I can't believe I thought that that guy was my friend. It was just another game they were playing to mess with me." He wanted to kick himself for his nativity.
Bang!
The door to the roof burst open and the same girl was standing there, she saw Asher with his head down looking defeated. "You! Don't look up and just listen! My power freezes people in place, you're the only one that was able to move after looking at me because I saw my reflection when you looked at me. Please just stay like that so we can talk!" She was trying her best but sadly Asher had only heard some of her words through the wind in his ears.
Asher looked up meeting her eyes again, "So it's your power, That's so cool. You got a way better power than mine. They didn't even know what mine did so I got put in to class one." He was much happier to realize it was a misunderstanding, she wasn't trying to make fun of him she just coil not control her power! "My name is Asher, my power is called Luck Jinx, I have no idea how it works. What's your name?"
What bad luck, I am stuck again. The girl desperately wanted to introduce herself to him but she could not even move a single muscle. Why must he look me directly in the eyes. Why are his eyes bright and reflective? She was enthralled by her own image layered on top of the beautiful green color in Asher's eyes.
Bang!
The door to the room was again flung open, "Asher! There's a girl after you quick ru-" Art distracted Asher letting the girl the ability to move and turn her head. This led to Art now being frozen in place and the girl moving freely.

"Art, I am sorry I thought you two were trying to make fun of me by freezing and ignoring me. I am so sorry." Asher immediately apologized, feeling terrible all over again.
"No It is my fault. I think I just need to cover my face, no one can even look at me without being frozen in place. I can't even look anyone in the eyes anymore." The girl had broken down crying looking at the ground. Art was freed from his frozen situation.
"Huh? Wait so you weren't after him because you couldn't use your power on him?" Art's words were ignored, he was foolishly asking a crying girl questions about her powers, this only made her cry more while she covered her face with her hands.
"Art, give me your shirt." Asher asked for Art's shirt since Art was wearing an undershirt and he was not.
"Umm OK but why?" Art did not understand why but still unbuttoned it and handed it over without issue.
"Just watch," Asher wrapped it around the girls crying face and tied it making a perfect mask, she could still see out of a small slit but otherwise was completely shielding her face. "Is that better? Try looking at Art and freezing him in place like a statue."
"Wait me? No why?!" Art tried to get out of sight but when the girl's gaze landed on him he realized he was still able to move. "Oh...umm it's fine, I knew it would work." Trying to play off his worry Art was stretching as if his actions just a second ago were not fearful.
Still sniffling loudly the girl finally took a seat and turned her head to Asher, "Thanks." her sniffs subsided a bit more until she spoke up again. "My name is Jane fields. I have the power called Medusa...Like the Greek monster. It's the worst power ever. I have scales everywhere and even my hair changed. People can't even look at me and now if I see my own reflection i get stuck." She started crying all over again.

"Don't worry, there is plenty of time to figure it all out. That there is Art and he is my desk neighbor. You can hang out with us as much as you want!" Asher wasn't trying to just be nice, he had meant every word of this. Not only had one person tried to be his friend but a girl was even talking to him. She hadn't even tried to make fun of him or tell him to die! He started to wonder, is my luck turning around?
"Well since I do have enough food for three people it seems like fate that you would eat with us, Like Asher said, My name is Art Mathews. My power is Lead control. I got stuck in to class one because my ability lets me control a poisonous substance. I apparently can change its shape in any way I want but I don't have any with me. I did try to make my pencil lead sharper but all I managed was to break it." Art laughed a bit embarrassed at his failure to use his power.
At first this seemed like a useless power but thinking more on it Jane and Asher could tell it was a very dangerous power. With his power he could easily poison anyone he wanted, not only this but if he changed it in to a weapon he could trow it around that way too. It was pretty much the same as those gifted with the ability to control metal but with a poison thrown in.
The three dug in to their meal chatting about the lecture they had earlier in the day. The had all three wondered who were the other two new students in their class but they were the last three to make it to class so they had missed the introductions. "So do you guys have any idea on what job you want to do after you graduate? What university do you want to go to?"
