Chereads / Who Will Fall First? / Chapter 38 - 38

Chapter 38 - 38

I made it back to my room before anyone woke up. I decided to change into a knee-length, black t, and knee-length shorts. After that, I decided to cook some breakfast again, just for the fun of it. And the first to wake up, hours later, was Amina. Her hoodie swallowed her body, and her hair had been tied up in a braid. She yawned, then looked at the breakfast options on the counter, then to me, and back again. "You must like cooking, huh?" I shrugged. "Like isn't the right word for it. But I figured you all would want some energy before training." Amina went over to the cabinets and grabbed a plate. "Thanks, Shelby. Oh, and a question for ya! Have you thought on your hero name?" I sat in silence for a minute, trying to remember if it had been on my mind at all. "No. Why?" Amina loaded her plate with eggs. "Cause I've got something in mind." "Oh?" I asked, curious. "The Skeleton Queen!" "That..." I trailed off, thinking for a minute. It wasn't bad. And I probably wasn't going to be thinking about my hero name anytime soon. "Actually, that'll work." Amina topped her plate off with sausages, biscuits and gravy, some bacon, and hasbrowns. "I think it suits you. You know, with the whole outfit you have, and then you add your powers, and it's just-perfect!" I chuckled. "Yeah. I'll run that by Ms. Violet later." "No need, Skeleton Queen." I looked over at the doorway, where Ms. Violet stood, wearing a brown jumper with green boots. "Morning, Ms. Violet." Amina and I greeted her. "Morning to you, too, ladies. So, Shelby, you sure you want that to be your hero name? I'm only asking because you can't change it once it's been entered in." I didn't even have to think on that. It was an easy question for me. "I'm sure, ma'am." "Good. Also, we need to have a talk." "What, a one on one with me-?" I started to ask, but she shook her head. "No. The whole class." That couldn't be anything good.
