So, thats how I found myself standing in front of a big ditch under the flyover with five other young offenders, dumping a couple of bodies. You know, just casual stuff. How did I get into this mess? Honestly.

We tipped the bodies in the ditch and crowded around it. The walk here had been a nightmare. Everyone that looked at us made us think we were about to be discovered.

"I'm pretty sure this breaches the terms of my ASBO," Nathan said. I laughed breathily, too nervous to really pay attention to what I was laughing about.

"We don't tell anyone about this, yeah?" Kelly said, stepping forward. We were all covered in dirt and sweat and I just desperately wanted a shower.

"We don't tell anyone about the storm or what it did to us or anything," she added.

"Obviously," I grunted. Kelly glared.

"We're about to bury our fucking probation worker, we don't need to be drawin' any more attention to ourselves," Nathan said, eyebrows furrowed.

"I don't want anyone to know," Alisha said, picking up a shovel and bringing it into the pile of dirt at her feet. "I cannot be a freak," she spat.

"What about you?" Kelly asked Curtis. He shot a glance at her.

"Theres no goin' back now, man," Nathan tried to persuade him, a small curl of hair out of place on his forehead. "You're black and famous, you're probably more screwed."

"I shouldn't even be here," he growled, glaring at Nathan.

"Just then," Kelly said. "When he was touchin' ya, how were you doing tha'?" She asked Alisha.

"I don't know."

Nathan stood up for a second before bending down again to put more dirt in the hole. He looked at Simon.

"Didn't you say you wanted to piss on her tits?" He paused, licking his lips. "That's probably something you should keep between you and your internet service provider," he said. I coughed to hide the laugh. Simon didn't answer.

"Are you alright?" Curtis asked Alisha. She didn't reply.

We worked for a few minutes in silence, just shovelling dirt in over the bodies.

"Hold on, all of you have some "special power." Everyone can do something except me?" He asked, glaring at each of us individually.

"He can do something, he can do something and I can't?!" He pointed at Simon. I rolled my eyes.

"Look at him, thats ridiculous," he hissed. Simon pushed his hair to his head self-consciously.

"Maybe you can," I huffed, shovelling a large pile of dirt into the hole, covering Tony's hand.

"Yeah, right. What if I can't feel pain?" He suggested, smiling. Kelly raised a hand and slapped him.

"Ow!"

"Did you feel tha'?"

He put his hand to his ear where Kelly had hit him.

"Stop hitting me!"

She merely sighed and kept digging. As did the rest of us. So, now, instead of having committed one crime of shoplifting a book, now I was an accomplice to murder as well. Great, fucking fantastic. What would my sister think if she ever found out? She'd call me a monster, or a freak, or something else offensive. She'd turn me in, I bet. And what would happen if someone found out that I can change my appearance? They'd do experiments on me or something. For the rich people. I'm like that X-man, uh, Mystique. Yeah, I'm like her. They'd give me to some evil genius and they'd dissect me or something awful like that.

I felt someones gaze on me and I turned to see Kelly watching me. Oh, shit! She can hear everything I think to myself. Fuck, that's so embarrassing!

She chuckled. I really need to have better control of my thoughts. I was going to be a real problem if I kept this up.

It took about another twenty minutes to completely bury the bodies and no one really said anything. After we were done, we went back to the community centre and got changed.

"So, what now?" I asked, hitching my bag on my shoulder.

"I suppose we just act normal," Simon said.

"We just pretend nothing happened? We just go about our daily business, do we?" I asked incredulously. There was no way I'd be able to pull that off. Not without someone noticing something was going on. Although, I only had Natalie. She was my only friend nowadays anyway so theres slim pickings on who was going to think something was up.

"We'll have to," Kelly said, shrugging.

"I don't know about you guys, but I don't really want to go to prison. I'll be the first to be gang raped. I mean, have you seen me?" Nathan said, gesturing to his so called "perfect" body.

"Uh, huh, sure," I said.

"I'm tellin' you, its gonna happen."

I just nodded, not really paying attention.

I don't think I want to go home, I thought to myself. I doubt I'd be able to look at Natalie and smile tonight. And then she'll ask me what's up and then I'll crack and then evil geniuses and dissection and then so on and so forth.

"Hey, is there anyone going home by car?" I asked hopefully. Everyone shook their heads.

"Why?"

"I was going to ask for a lift," I muttered.

"Anyways, I suppose I'l see you tomorrow then," I added, walking towards the door. I waved nervously as I walked through the doorway. I took a deep breath and prepared myself mentally for whatever was in store for me over the next month or two.

(a/n: I hope you enjoyed this!!)
