Countdown

I'm in the library, pretending to study, and wondering which of the people here could be superheroes or supervillains. Nadine might be. She's got that mysterious silence and classical profile. It's funny; the 'strong, silent' stoic character is fascinating in literature, but pretty boring in person. I feel like she's kind of cheating in the class we have together - when the professor asks her questions, she's always got a succinct, snappy answer. But it's like pulling teeth to get her to participate, and it feels like she's not pulling her weight in class, just coasting and doing the bare minimum. That's not a typical flying-below-the-radar hero tactic, more like a distracted-by-nefarious-plots attitude. Meh, maybe I'm just paranoid. She sits next to me, and I'm kinda hoping she hasn't noticed my temperature problems. I've more or less solved the issue by wearing more clothing. If someone notices the long-sleeves-in-blistering-heat thing, I'll just say I'm anemic or something (and it might even be true). I can warm my hands up to a normal temperature by wearing gloves or putting them between my knees or under my arms for a while, like I used to do on cold days. So I'm guessing (yay pseudoscience!) that I've got some sort of atmospheric effect around me, since my internal body temperature is perfectly normal. There's no freeze machine in my guts, so I've been visualizing it as a kind of minty fresh aura.
None of the others in my classes strike me as the super type. I know there's no 'type' to have powers, but there is certainly a type that uses them, and I doubt my classmates would ever go active in the super community. Even if Amie has world-ending godlike powers, I'm not sure exactly what she could accomplish with them. Especially if they rely on willpower. She only ever speaks in questions, and only uses about half her voice, so it's always soft and kittenish. She can't answer a single question decisively. I almost wish I had x-ray vision, just so I could stare through her skull and see it is, in fact, packed with cotton candy. I'm betting it's pink.
