Things aren't always as they seem

[Chloe Goldman]

It had been only a few weeks since Chloe had arrived at Bellefonte Academy. So far everything was going ok, that is she hadn't killed anyone, but it could be going better. Every morning Chloe would wake up, get some breakfast, head to class then go to the gym to lift some weights and test out her newly found strength. Today was no different other than it was a weekend. So no classes. So she just headed to the gym a little bit earlier.

Chloe was wearing her pink and purple sweat suit with her white and black sneakers. Her hair was up in a pony tail so that she could think better and she only had on her lip gloss. She always started with 100 pounds and went up in small amounts from there. It had been about a half hour now, so she was up to about 315 pounds. She was doing ok but it was starting to get a little harder. Her muscles where bulging slightly, her brow was starting to form sweat drops. Chloe finished putting on the last weight, when she finally realized that a group of guys where staring at her. She ignored them then looked down ready to continue working on her weights. She took a deep breath then grabbed the weights.

"I can so lift more then you without my power." Jasper challenged his brother as the two of them entered the gym to work out. They had no classes and since the weather had gotten much colder they had to end up working out inside. It was not that they could not work outside but they quickly picked up on that with their breathing problems they had a harder time catching their breath out in the cold then they did inside. So, not wanting to run out of their inhalers medication the twins started to stick to working out inside.

"Pfft, keep dreaming brother. You should know by now that I'm stronger then you without my power." Casper said back to his brother rolling his eyes. They had been debating this for a while, the whole that was stronger without the use of their power. It was not that hard to test out so long as they were not standing close enough to one another then they would not be able to use their power at all. Now in the gym, that had the perfect plan to test out that was in fact stronger out of the two siblings that looked completely alike.

There were a group of guys all gathered around and watching someone so the siblings of course could not help but to go over to check it out. Easily parting the crowd and expecting some hot chic with bouncy jugs to be running on a treadmill. They were only half disappointed to see a girl bench pressing insane amount of weights. They were shocked at first but then recalled that they were going to a school for mutants so they should not have been all that surprised. "Wow, girl you are working up a sweat. You sure you don't need to remove some layers?" Jasper asked as he let out a whistle. A sharp pain worked his way over his arm after his brother punched him.

Casper was fine with his brother antics but there were lines that he would not let his brother cross. "Don’t push yourself too much or you will pull something. I can already see your body starting to shake a little." Casper pointed out, not really wanting to see a girl like break a bone in front of all these guys. Well, he slightly did because honestly it would be cool in a messed up gruesome kind of way.

It was easy enough to ignore the nasty things that some guys would say to a girl who looked like she did. She went to school with a lot of them before she got her abilities. So she picked up the weights and started lifting them. At first she made a grunting sound on the first lift, but it got slightly easier as she went on. After a few seconds of lifting this weight, she heard another guy say something nasty to her. She couldn't help but stop lifting the weights for a second and look over.

She saw twins standing next to each other, along with the rest of the crowd that had now gotten larger since the last time that she had looked up. Was she really that much of a freak that this many people who had abilities themselves, had never seen anyone like her. Chloe ignored what the first twin said to her. Chloe then put the weight down then looked back at the twins. "I can do more. I have to seen what my limit is. If I don't then I could hurt more people." Chloe said to the twin that was nice to her. "Anyways I have a crowd to entertain, right?" Chloe said with sarcasm in her voice. She then stood up, went over the to weights on the floor and picked on up, adding it to the weights she was lifting. She then sat down and got ready to lift almost 350 lbs of weights, taking a deep breath first.

Casper gave his brother a look, silently communicating to him something that his brother easily figured out. They could not actually communicate with one another with their minds or anything but have been around one another for sixteen years they had developed a lot of silent ques that allowed them to say a lot to one another without saying anything at all. Jasper moved to start shooing the other guys that had gathered to go do something with their lives. “Move along, nothing to see here. If she breaks her arm I’ll be sure to yell you back over here.” Jasper told them all as he literally started to shove the more stubborn ones away.

“You should see your limits with a trainer, like you are supposed to do. Training by yourself is stupid and risky.” Casper said as he crossed his arms. He had gotten on his brother before about training alone; they either trained together, or with a trainer. It should have just been a known fact that you didn’t train alone, even more so when it came to weight lifting. “You are going to end up hurting yourself before you hurt someone else at this rate.” Casper said, looking over to his brother who came back over towards him.

“If she wants to hurt herself, then let her brother. I’m going to record it and make millions on the internet when her bone snaps out of her arm or she passes out and the weight crushes her. She does not even have a spotter.” Jasper pointed out as he leaned on his brother’s shoulder. He was already reaching into his pocket to pull out his phone and get to a recording setting.
