Okay, so this is weird. My mom asks me to run out to the store, and because I'm super fast, I actually
ran. I mean, I have my permit, and technically speaking I shouldn't be driving the car by myself anyway,
but mom lets me. Besides, I am like a million times faster than a car anyway.

So, anyway, that's besides the point. I ran to the store at my usual speed, and I hit a patch of ice on
the sidewalk. I have never hit a patch of ice before. It was probably the scariest thing I have ever
experienced in my life. I slid over the sidewalk with so much momentum that I couldn't even come
close to slowing down - until I hit a bench that is.

To say it hurt would be an understatement. The truth is, if my super speed didn't also have the ability
to heal quickly with it, I would probably still be laying in the snow with two broken legs.

So, to put it simply: Note to self - Watch out for ice.

Merry Christmas one and all! I have got such a surprise for Christine tomorrow, you wouldn't believe it.
It's going to be tons of fun.

So, I gave Chris the earmuffs I bought her, and a small sterling silver heart pendant. I honestly think
she liked the pendant more, but laughed when I told her why I bought her the earmuffs.

The real surprise though, was when I ran into Pittsburgh to this children's shelter. It's a place for all
orphaned kids that I read about on the newspaper. That wasn't the big surprise though. The big
surprise was that there was a real live superhero there today. I mean, what better to get her to see
my point about superheroes than to have her meet a real one.

Captain Falcon was awesome. He gave out toys to all the kids, and me and Christine helped him. The day
couldn't have been better. I really had a lot of fun. I know Chris did too, but she'll never admit it. I
just hope she begins coming around to the idea of being a superhero.

Last day of the year. Last day of the decade. Can you believe it? I think I'm ready for 2010. It should
be fun. For my New Years Resolution this year, I plan on helping those that are weaker than I am. And
I think you know what I mean by that.

Back to school on Monday. I wish I could say I was excited, but unfortunately, I'm not. I mean, school
is great and all, but I've really enjoyed being off these last two weeks. Its going to be such a hassle
going back to school.

Besides, going back to school means I won't have time to complete my New Years Resolution. How can I
help people if I'm cooped up in a classroom seven hours a day? I can't. I just can't. It's going to be so
frustrating. Especially since they broadcast the news in the hallway between periods.

Sometimes, I just wish I could learn without learning. I hope you understand that, because I barely do.

Tuesday, January 5th - Dateline. And the news today is nothing amazing. I went to school. I took my
classes. I hung out with Chris. And I came home.

When I found out I could do these amazing things, I said to myself, that life was going to be different
from now on. I was going to live a life of excitement and adventure. I've known about these powers for
nearly 9 months now, and I don't think I've even left the county since then. Some life of adventure
huh? I wish something exciting would happen around here.

Chris and I walked to school this morning. Damn was it cold. Her mother was trying to punish her again
for something stupid that she did but won't talk about. I think it worked. She was completely
miserable on the way to school this morning.

Things looked up a bit today. A teacher came to see us today by the name of Quinn. He seems to know a
lot about... you know. At the very least he knows about Christine and I. I think the guy has powers too.
Wouldn't that be cool? It would be like he was Professor X and me and Chris would be his first X-men.
That would be awesome, don't you think?

Anyway, Chris says I'm dreaming. But she did feel a weird vibe off Quinn today too. So, I think she may
just not want to get my hopes up. TOO LATE!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

Quinn took us into his office today. His office happens to be a storage closet at the back of the
Chemistry room (his classroom). He showed us things. Like a really old picture from World War II, that
my grandfather was in. He said that it was a picture of the soldiers involved in Project: Hercules. I
wanted to know more, but he wouldn't tell us anything else.

Well, that's not entirely true. He did tell us one other thing, that I hesitate to write down. But, oh
well, no one else is going to read this but me I guess, so it's alright.

The picture that he showed us - the one of the soldiers. Sitting in the front row, next to each other,
was my grandfather and Christine's grandfather. I think I crapped myself when he showed us that. It
was... I don't know how to describe it. But at least now I have some idea about where my powers came
from. Amazing.

It looks like ms and Chris are going to be getting our Professor X after all. I can't wait until he our
training begins. If he's going to train us that is. I don't know. He didn't say.

Had to wait all weekend to find out more from Quinn. Then yesterday and today, he wouldn't even talk
to us. The man's an ass. He knows that we're both eager for information, and he simply refuses to give
it to us. I think I'm going to explode soon if he doesn't talk! ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!

Okay, I'm settled down now, but it's still frustrating. Maybe I can sneak into his office and see what I
can find out. After all, me and Chris still don't even know if Quinn has powers or not.
