Fatima loved superhero comics.
So when everyone in Classroom 13 got superpowers, she thought her dreams had come true. Ximena could fly, Dev was a giant boy-spider, and Santiago was a human torch. Ava could read minds, Benji could shrink, and Teo was super-fast. But what was Fatima’s power?
She tried to shoot laser blasts from her eyes. Nothing happened.
She tried to make objects move with her mind. Nothing happened.
She tried to transform into a monstrous hulk. Nothing happened.
She even tried to shoot a bow and arrow with perfect aim. (It wasn’t exactly a superpower, but there was always an archer on every hero team in the comic books, so it was worth a shot.) But Fatima couldn’t hit a target that was four feet away.
So what was her power?
It seemed she didn’t have one.
Fatima’s dream had become a nightmare.
