Kim knocked on the principles door but to her surprise it was Barkin who called, “Come on.” Kim opened the door and walked in with Shego in tow. “Possible and a … guest, what brings you here?” asked Barkin.
“Hi, Mr. Barkin. Can I get a pass for Shego for all my classes for the rest of this week?”
“I need to know why before I give out a pass Possible, as I have full responsibility as the Principle is off sick.” stated Mr. Barkin.
“Well, I was on a mission and I got hit by some kind of ray and Shego also got hit, when we woke up we were stuck together.” Kim held up the arm Shego’s hand was stuck to as proof, “And we haven’t figured out how to get unstuck so …”
“I get the picture Possible.” Mr. Barkin interrupted, “Seeing as there is no other way Miss. Go may have a pass but as she is a criminal it is your responsibility to keep her in line, okay Possible?”
“Yes Mr. Barkin” answered Kim.
Mr. Barkin scribbled the pass and handed it to Shego, “Now, I suggest you get to class. You don’t want to get a detention for being late, do you Possible?” Kim was out off the door in a flash.
The morning classes went by in a flash for Kim, who was surprised when she looked at the clock. ‘Only ten more minutes, I wonder how Shego’s doing.’ Kim thought and she glanced over at Shego and was only to just able to stop herself from gasping in shock at her enemy. Shego’s eyes were plastered on the blackboard but she obviously wasn’t paying attention, she flinched at every whisper from behind her, to Kim she looked helpless. Kim managed to wrench her eyes away from this different Shego but she knew she wasn’t going to able to hold her anger anymore.
The morning classes crawled by for Shego, she glanced at the clock once more. ‘Only five more minutes until lunch according to Kimmie’s schedule.’ thought Shego. Shego was growing more uncomfortable as she kept her eyes on the blackboard. She could hear whispers from behind her. Shego knew that some of the people were scared of her, having recognised her from some news story. Some people were indifferent to her; not knowing who she was or why she was green, but those two groups of people weren’t her problem. It was the people who were looking at her with distain then turning to their friends and having a good laugh at the strange green freak in the classroom. It was these people who brought up memories she thought she had gotten away from, but it seemed that they had caught up,
‘Whats wrong with you?’
‘What good can you do?’
‘You deserve this freak!’
‘No! Stop it! you’re hurting them!’ the last memory screamed as the bell went. Shego jumped from her seat and ran down the hall dragging Kim to the bathroom with her. Shego heated her left hand and made the door stick so no one would come in.
“Hey! Shego stop!” protested Kim as Shego made sure the door was stuck fast, Shego noticed that the tone Kim used wasn’t anything like that of her voice that morning.
‘Oh good she’s calmed down maybe she’ll actual consider this no questions asked.’ thought Shego hopefully.
“Hey Kim do you think we could, er, you know skip the rest of the day?” asked Shego.
“What, why Shego?”
“I-I … I promise I’ll explain later, like when we’re home but not here not now.”
The answer Shego gave made Kim curious, “Look Shego I can’t skip school just because you asked, either you have a reason or not, so are you going to tell me?” When she got no answer, Kim turned around and started walking towards the door.
‘She’ll find out sooner or later regardless of whether I tell her or not, she might as well get the whole truth from me.’ thought Shego. “Look Kim …” said Shego seriously making Kim pause in her walk to the stuck door. Shego sighed and lent on the side of a sink and looked directly into Kim’s eyes, “Ever since I got these powers people heave never been sure of me. People have reacted in different ways some running scarred but most people pushed me around trying to get me to give them an excuse to hate me. Even when the people of Go city accepted Team Go as its superheroes people ran from me or waited for me to go over the edge and get them with my destructive powers. I mean, they could see the good my brothers’ powers could do but what good can green fire that can melt through fire do?” Shego paused in thought, “I guess it didn’t help that I was anti-social before the comet but my powers scarred away what friends I had.” Shego looked away from Kim, “I don’t want to get you in trouble Kim but people are already giving me looks that mirror those I got givens a few years back. I know that one day some stupid son of a bitch is going to try and be brave and try and get me to use my powers against them, they’ll keep going until I crack. I will hurt someone no matter how much I try not to I will, like I did last time”
Kim looked at Shego in shock surprised she was trying to open up in response to one little question, “What happened Shego?” questioned Kim.
Shego squirmed uncomfortably, “I’ll tell you later, can we go now?” said Shego obviously trying to close herself off again.
Kim put her hand on Shego’s arm ignoring the electricity from the contact and spoke quietly, “Shego you can tell me, I want to know. Please?” Sincerity gleamed through Kim’s eyes as she thought, ‘When did I stop being angry at her? Maybe it was that moment in class where she looked so helpless, like she looks now.’
As Shego looked into Kim’s eyes she thought, ‘Dammit why did I tell her that! Why am I so soft around her?’ Shego broke the eye contact as she started to speak again, “This boy, John Road, was his name, hated me and my powers. So, one day before school he and his mates tried to beat me up, to force me to use my powers so they could say I was dangerous. They couldn’t get a hand on me even then and this went on for months, them trying to beat me up me just dodging every blow. Until they found out I was a lesbian and I liked one of the pretty girls, Angelica Moss, who was friends with them. I still don’t know how they found out; I think it was one of my old friends. Anyway, they told this girl to get close to me; I didn’t know it was a trick. I took Angelica out on a few dates and the fights stopped, I thought they were starting to accept me and that I was good. This combined with the fact I was going out with my crush made me feel I was on top of the world. On a date I told Angelica I loved her but she just giggled but I ignored it at the time, then the next day as we were walking up the steps Angelica said that she hated me, I mean who could like a green skinned freak like me?” Shego paused and took a shuddering breath, “I let myself get kicked around by the boys that morning, I felt I deserved it for being a freak. But then, something snapped, when one kicked me whilst I was down. I felt and immense heat build up in me and I unleashed it, the last thing I heard before I blacked out was a little girl cry out ‘Stop it you’re hurting them!’ When I woke up I was arrested for attempted murder, three counts. I found out in the holding cell that three of the group that had hurt me were in hospital, that John and Angelica were two of the three, that they were in comas with severe burns and the prognosis wasn’t good. I was lucky and they recovered but they’ll be scarred from the burns for the rest of their lives. I was found guilty in court and was sentenced to 40 years, if I was good. I was sixteen. After a year I broke out and I’ve never looked back for two years.” Shego was shivering from the memory.
Kim stroked Shego’s arm feeling the soft supple flesh under her fingers, “I’m sorry Shego.”
Shego tried to step out of reach as she wiped her eyes, “Don’t be” She said bitterly.
“Shego, I can’t not come to school but I promise I won’t let anything happen, look it’s nearly the end of lunch so let’s just get to class, okay?” said Kim gently.
Shego scowled at being treated like a china doll, “I’m still me Princess so don’t treat me any different, got that?”
Kim rolled her eyes, “Got it, your highness”
Shego smirked, the mischievous gleam coming back into her eyes with vengeance, “That’s more like it!” she said as she melted through the door handle to allow the door to open once again. Kim let herself get dragged to her next lesson after telling Shego where it was.
After the last lesson Kim and Shego were headed towards the door when they bumped into Ron in his mad dog costume.
“Hey KP! we have cheerleading practice tonight remember?” asked Ron.
Kim smacked her forehead, “Argh, how could I forget! Tell the girls I’ll be there in a minute.”
Ron nodded and ran off to the gym.
When Kim faced Shego she was greeted with a glare, “There is no way I am staying another hour in this place to watch cheerleading.” Shego said flatly.
“Shego please! I have to go and anyway there are lots of pretty girls running around in short skirts” said Kim hoping that Shego would be allured by this promise.
Her hopes were shattered when Shego replied, “I don’t care if their prancing around naked, we are going home.” Shego start to walk towards the door, only to glance back at Kim, who had drawn out her ultimate weapon, Shego gaped and then cracked, “Fine I’ll go.”
Kim squealed at having been successful and went to hug Shego only to be held at arms length and asked, “What the hell was that Princess?”
Kim giggled as they began to walk towards the gym, “The Possible women’s secret weapon, The Puppy Dog Pout, no one can resist it”
Shego almost scoffed at the idea that a pout could be all powerful but then said, “Never do it again, mmkay Princess?”
Kim looked at Shego and answered, “Now where’s the fun in that?”
