Super Students

	The air was crisp, and the wind had settled slightly; it whistled one last time between the branches of the numerous soaring trees, making me jolt in shock. I halt my jog to look around the misty thickets, wondering if I’m still going the right direction. I turn forward and slowly start picking up the pace again, now sprinting ahead. I glance left and right, looking for any sign of the classmates that made me come out here. “‘Classmates’, that’s debatable I guess. It’s not like they really ever show up to school, all they do is party and drink and smoke.” I had thought to myself, the adrenaline building up both from the jog and from the angst-fueled reflections. Looking down, the trail I had been following dwindled to nothing; I remembered Jackson telling me about this, and to look for a tree with a symbol…

	“There, watch out for those. They’re important, Dean, do NOT forget to look out for them.” Jackson said, pushing a crinkled piece of paper into my chest. I placed my hand on it quickly and gazed down at it; the almost runic symbols me laugh softly, wanting to poke fun and ask if this was a joke. A strong hand on my shoulder jolted me to sit up, with the six-foot-something jock exclaiming “This isn’t funny kid, are you in or out? Not EVERYONE gets this chance, you know!” in a stern tone. From behind Jackson’s massive wall of a body came a lithe figured girl, with pixie-cut blonde hair, white as a snowflake, leather wrapped around her body in various places; the girl said “Come on Dean, it’ll be cool. You’re like, one of the only ‘star athletes’ in the school that hasn’t gone out to the grove yet”. I only nodded and awkwardly blurted out some agreeing phrase, while Jackson and Alex, the girl I had a crush on for some time now, walked off. She turned to wink at me, and I only blushed.

	…turning sharply to my right, a tree taller than most others stood straight and high; walking closer to it, the crunching leaves beneath me making me jolt a bit with each crackle. Shoving a hand down my pocket, I pull out a folded piece of paper and and small flashlight; shining it on the tree and unfolded paper, the symbols match that of what was carved into the bark in front of me. I back up, stand to the right of the tree’s symbols, and continue my jog. What feels like, maybe ten or so minutes goes by, before I trip and fall to the ground. I roll to my back and try sitting up, only to see a bonfire a couple dozen feet ahead. Staggering back on my feet, a hand touches my back, causing me to yelp a bit; it was Jackson and his even slightly-meatier-looking friend Bret. He also happened to be slightly-more-of-a-douche. “Jesus, you invited that string bean? I know you said a new guy was coming, but you didn’t say it was HIM. And he’s so late, what the hell-!” Jackson quickly interrupted Bret with a punch in the shoulder, arguing “Come on, he’s fine! It’s his first time here and I don’t blame him for being late.” I actually appreciated that, and it was oddly out of character for him to defend me. I stood up completely and walked forward, the two jocks beside me.

	“Glad to see you actually made it, I WAS getting kinda pissed you hadn’t showed up yet or anything, if we’re being honest here.” Jackson said, placing a hand hard on my back, guiding me along. The warmth of the bonfire was refreshing, a welcomed change from the cool of the night forest. The smoke from it only added to the cloudy mist soaking the woods around me; I sit down, not noticing Alex right beside me. “Hey, you made it! About time, haha!” she said, giggling in her usual adorable voice. Jackson pushed the two of us aside and sat between us, eyeing her angrily. He turned to me, “Alright, so here it is. May not look like much now…” he trailed off, looking out at the groups of fellow students shouting and laughing in the distance, quick small bursts of lights shooting from their vicinity; “…it’ll be even better once you’re one of us.” I gulped, unsure what to make of that. The blasts of lights of various colors and odd noises from all around made a little wary of what was even going on here; “Was this a rave or something? Seems a lot tamer than what I imagined.” I had thought to myself. I look over at Alex who had just stood up; she took my hand and pulled me up quickly, “Alright, time for you to see what we do here” she said with a perky grin.

	“Hurry back, we’ve got a lot of shit to go over once he’s done!” Bret had yelled out to us. Alex was a few feet ahead of me, and I was following behind her. Of course I was looking her over, and loving every second of it; her leather jacket and shiny tights, with their black and white spirals, was reflecting the quick flashes of lights on both sides of us. Her boots crunched hard against the scattered twigs and foliage. She turned sharply, probably catching me glancing at her legs; “Come over here, I need to explain some stuff to you” she said in sort of educating tone. I sprinted up to her, now beside her. She looked me in the eyes while we walked, “Now, you can’t say anything about this, okay?” Before I could even answer, she continued: “So, I’m going to be blunt with you, everyone out here’s kind of a freak. A MUTANT. We all have super powers, straight out of your nerdy comic books. That’s mostly why we brought you out here, besides the fact you’re the only one out of the loop.” My face turned inquisitive, a brow raised and my mouth creased into a grin. “Powers? What? You’re lying, come on, you can be honest with me.”

	She looked at me furiously and stopped, pointing at me to say “Hey, I’m not lying! See that over there? That weird statue thing?” She redirected her finger to a tiny figure on the ground, shaped like one of the symbols on the paper. She rushed to it, pushing it; it revealed an opening in the ground, a horrid hiss coming from it as the statue finished adjusting in it’s place. Pointing down the hole, Alex turned and said “See! Come on, it’s your turn!” I stayed in place, my arms crossed; not from anger, from pure fear. Her head tilted and she smirked, “You’re a little too late to chicken out, if you leave you aren’t going to hear the last of it.” She climbed down the shaft, gesturing with her finger to come closer. I walked cautiously over, looking down the hole; a hand shot out from the darkness, stretching like elastic, tugging at my shirt collar. “Hurry on down!~” she yelled, as the arm slowly snaked back down the whole, squeaking slightly as it slide down the seemingly metal walls of the deep shaft.

	“Almost there, take my hand, I’ll help you around here.” Alex said, grabbing my hand swiftly and turning on her flashlight. As she tugged me along hurriedly, I tried to get a good luck at the surrounding walls; weird symbols, again the same as the one on the paper. I tried not to think hard on this as I was already freaking out internally, incredibly worried about whatever the hell was going to happen here. “Here we goooo…” she said, as a click rung out and the lights of the room turned on. It was dome shaped area, the walls covered in shelves with books and vials and miscellaneous technology. In the very center was a glowing green crystal, perfectly symmetrical and perfectly flat sides. “W-What is this place Alex? How did you find it?”

	“And THAT’S how we found this place. I was the first one to try it out honestly, and man I was NOT disappointed. I mean, I was kind of terrified at first when I turned all rubbery, but I got used to it a couple hours later.” The two of us had been sitting beside the wall, looking at the odd glowing crystal while I listened intently to her ‘origin story’. “Wow… What’s it like, being like that?” She giggled softly, “You know? It’s actually pretty amazing, I love it. I feel so relaxed, so loose, so… free, heh.” Alex turned to look at me, her cheek resting on her knee. “So, you ready? We’ve talked enough, we really need to hurry up here.” I nodded quickly, standing up and rushing to the crystalline device. I spun back around though, asking “W-What do I do exactly?” She stood up laughing a bit, her boots squeaking against the polished floor; she walked over, taking my hand in hers, and placed it on the crystal. She tapped a button beside it, and…

	“You were AMAZING out there Dean, I can’t believe it!” Alex said, grinning brightly! I only nodded, smiling softly; “Yeah, ha, thanks. You were great too!” We walked down the dim hallway, going to our locker room. Gymnastic regionals were draining, but this was my last year here at least. Alex sat beside me on the bench, placing her hand on mine. She looked at me, her eyes beautiful and blue. “Hey, we’re gonna be a great team. I’m glad you’re still doing this.” I looked back at her with my less happy expression; “Yeah… about that. I was thinking, actually, about dropping gymnastics. I know we-” Alex stood up, her face changed to one of frustration and confusion, “What, why?! Y-You, you’re amazing at this! I though you were going pro?! You’re so graceful, so talented, hell you’re more flexible than I am!” She fired more questions and comments at me, angrier with each one. “I just, it’s kinda rough on me dude, it’s getting harder to do every year. And there’s so much else I want to try and do in high school, I only have two years left.” Alex only frowned more, taking a step back. Her usual demeanor wasn’t coming back anytime soon. “Whatever, just, know that I was really proud of you.”

	She turned and bolted off, leaving me to sulk on that bench, alone.

	…my eyes opened, my vision blurred; I tried moving my head, but it only flopped to the side. I saw her there, sitting where she was earlier. Her smile grew as my vision came back, and she rushed over; she sat down beside me, placing a hand on my head. “Oh my gosh, I’m glad you’re alright! You blacked out a hell of a lot longer than most people; don’t worry, I texted Jack, he said to just take our time here.” I tried to move my head again, and the rest of my body for that matter; nothing happened. “A-Am I… Am I okay?! I-I can’t, I can’t feel-” I’m cut off as I see my leg, longer than it should be. I look around, seeing more of myself elongated! Alex places her other hand on my chest, pulling me in close to her; “Hey hey, it’s fine. You got your powers, you’re stretchy like me! Makes sense considering you were a gymnast like me…” “H-How the fuck do I do anything?! I-I can’t, I can’t feel ANYTHING!”

	My limbs sluggishly retracted towards my body, after a lot of discussion and ‘therapy’ from Alex. I had missed being with her and talking to her after we split up, but this isn’t exactly the scenario I had in mind bringing us back together. She calmed me down and made me laugh and smile, where I would normally be freaking out. Now that my body was back to it’s usual shape, I was trying to stand; I could feel my now rubberized legs bending, my skin squeaking loudly. “Yeah, get used to that, using your powers makes you all gross and squeaky. Shit’s annoying.” Alex said, giggling at my misfortune. I smirked, standing upright finally. She stood up straight too, a lot easier than I did. “You’re gonna have to help me out a lot with this; do you tutor?” I asked with a laugh; she blushed, laughing back. “Yeah, don’t worry about it. Now we should maybe go back, they’re waiting on us…” she said, heading towards the exit.

	My hand caught hers, my arm stretched out reaching for it. She turned and glanced down, then looked back to me. “Dean, what…” I tugged her back to me, my hand snaking around her arm and coiling tightly around her waist. She let it happen, barely pushing away; I pulled her in close to me. “I’m really sorry about what happened, okay? I only came here tonight to talk to you about it. I miss you.” She looked at me with a frown, but still blushing. “I miss you too… What… What’s this about?” she said, pointing down at my arm. I looked at her, coming in closer; I kissed her neck softly, whispering “I’ve needed this for so long…” she moaned a quiet moan, arching her neck back. “…me too.”

	My hands pressed down on her smooth shoulders as I looked down at her. Her shirt was gone, mine was too. My pants were flung across the room, her tights were scrunched down low on her legs, her boots untied a bit from all the walking we’d done this night. We were breathing deep, my member was out and throbbing. She nodded, her thin elastic arms, coiling around mine like snakes around their prey. I nodded back, lowering myself a bit, and sliding myself inside of her. She groaned long, breathing heavy and hard. I moaned too, thrusting again and again, loving the feeling of her body and mine inside of it. I lowered again, and again, my mouth on hers, kissing her deeply as my body went wild inside her. “Y-Yes, Dean, yessss!” she hissed, loving this as much as I was. Her body quivered like a strummed rubber-band, she moaned louder with each thrust. I thought about my new body, and decided to try something new; my cock grew, getting thicker around, and growing another inch. In that instant, Alex cried a loud moan, and her arms slid further up my body, squeaking more and more. “A-Alex… I… A-Ahh, fuck…”

	Our bodies were tangled within each other: our torsos wrapped around and around one another, arms and legs knotted together, my dick plunging in and out of Alex harder and harder, chirping like two balloons rubbing together. Her eyes were watering, her mouth unable to say a word, her body shiny from sweat and her natural elastic complexion. I was groaning and panting furiously, thrusting hard despite my coiled body. Alex had came twice within the time we’d been making love, and her body was oozing into an elastic goo. She was close to cumming one last time, and I was ready too. My dick was throbbing hard, and it emptied inside her. Our bodies slowly oozed back to their normal shape, to an extent. We turned into people-shaped sorta-puddles, holding and kissing each other, whispering quiet “Thanks” and “I missed you”s to one another.

	“I could get used to this, Alex.”

	“Me too, Dean.”

	My arm around her, stretched tightly like before, the two of us walked back to the party. It was over at this point, and the bonfire was out. I looked, and saw no one around. We sat down on logs, and continued chatting, laughing, smiling. We reminisced about our time together, cuddling and hugging. “So, hey… Are they going to be pissed?” I asked her, with her replying “Probably. But hey, it won’t last. The most he’ll do is punch you in the arm or something. Despite him getting super strength, Jack’s really not as much of an ass as he used to be. He kinda mellowed out a lot.” I nodded, looking up at the slowly changing sky. “Well, that’s nice to know I guess.”

	“So, what do we do now?” I asked. “Well, we go home I’d say” Alex said with a giggle. “No, no I mean… We have super powers, you guys just use them to party? That’s really it?” She looked at me inquisitively, “Yeah, I guess. What, you wanna be a super hero? Dean, come on-” I stood up, ecstatic; “Alex, YOU come on! That’d be so cool! You and me as a team! It’d be amazing!” She only giggled, standing up too and grabbing me by my shirt collar; she pulled me close, and pecked me on the lips. “I’ll think about it, Plastic Man, heh. Just know, it’s probably not going to be like the comics we read as kids… Well, I guess you STILL read them” she said blushing. She took my hand, and guided me down the forming path, and out of the woods.
