After some very heavy thoughts by the popular girls, none knowing what will happen in the future, scared for the way things may turn out.
The class slowly returned to a slightly more normal atmosphere, ignoring the dark and depressing thoughts is the way to move on from them… slowly.
Noticing the half depressed mood that the popular girls have, Simon decides to liven up the class a little, or at least try.
During recess Simon stands up from his desk making some obvious motions that attract the attention of all of his classmates.
(Simon:)”I just had a thought.” (Selina:)”Strange, did not think you had any working brain cells.” Selina fires a shot, but also lightens the mood of the class.
People laugh and Simon takes it and actually feels fine with the insult, if it works in building up the mood of the class then it is great.
(Simon:)”Yes, Selina I just had a thought without using any of my brain cells.” He smiles and laughs, some people find this very funny.
Though it might just be the laugh you do out of pity, or when someone you like says anything and you just feel like laughing from happiness.
(Simon:)”My thought was if you were any superhero, who would you be? Not that we choose for ourselves, but who would our surrounding classmates most likely be?”
He smiles confidently, this guy might be using this also as a way to show of his popularity, as this is a soft core popularity contest.
The most popular kids would of course be compared more with the most popular superheroes, of course the popular girls realize this and are instantly onboard.
And with the popular girls supporting this idea, the secret popularity contest is underway! BTW Ronny would also be eligible to be a poplar guy if not for Chad…
(Simon:)”OK the obvious one first.” The rest of the class agrees. (Simon:)”Stacy would be Whitearia, anybody disagree?” Most of the class agrees instantly.
Stacy feels both happy and sad for not being compared to someone stronger. (Jessica:)”Also Selina would be Heronica!” Selina looks over in shock.
(Selina:)”No I am not that muscular! I am more cool like Hellbitch!” The rest of the class Instantly agrees she is Heronica and gives Hellbitch over to Ashley.
Who feels very happy about this as she knows Hellbitch is someone in her family, thinking that is the reason why Selina also wanted to be Hellbitch.
(Selina:)”Well Jessica would be Night mistress because she is evil!” Some almost absentmindedly nod along, but Simon stops it.
(Simon:)”We are comparing with superheroes, if we want to know who would be what supervillain I don’t think that would be a very happy conversation.”
He counters with logic and Selina is down! Jessica laughs with an evil smirk, she really is easier to compare with supervillains than heroes.
(Chloe:)”Jessica would be Goblinknight.” She makes a good point and Jessica is down! Not that she took mental damage, her pride was just hurt not being compared to someone better.
Simon also feels bad about not making Jessica happy, but none of his efforts at turning her comparison to any other superhero helps… her reputation is just too bad.
(Ashley:)”Another obvious one would be Charlotte and Chameleon, super unsocial and hides away.” The class agrees a little half heartedly as the comparison is a little mean.
Charlotte is oddly happy about that and thinks. “The less social they think I am the less events they will invite me to, YAY!”
The conversation continues onto the less obvious ones where there is much more contentions, while some others were oddly easy.
(Jessica:)”I think Ronny fits Darkdream for his painful backstory, I really hurt from second hand embarrassment when I am close to Ronny.. it really is sad what happened to him.”
Jessica says dramatically, but is obviously just throwing shade at Ronny for what happened in the past. (Ronny:)”Whore I will kill you!”
Ronny went screaming for some time, but all agreed that his past is painful so he is now Darkdream in their heads; Ronny was VERY upset.
And because Ronny was Darkdream, his friend who nobody notices became Invisiman… who is still currently missing. Does Ronny’s friend even have a name? Does anybody remember?
BTW there was some arguments about who Simon was as he hoped for either Brightman or Nightknight, but got neither; he got Kingstar who is awesome, but not as awesome…
And because of this Chloe who is “closely” related to him got Eterna who is also closely related to Kingstar, also because it fits a lot… which means Chloe got the best comparison so far.
Oddly enough Chad and David got Brightman and Nightknight, but in the wrong order; Chad is nice and bright like Brightman, while David is more quiet and dark like Nightknight.
Thought that was not the odd part, most people would think it was obvious to put the two in that order, but Jessica thought otherwise.
She thought Chad is more like Nightknight and David is more like Brightman, which nobody agreed with… even the people who knew did not want to say that as it seemed wrong.
Though also oddly, David is not as popular as Chad, so him getting someone as awesome as Nightknight was kind of weird, but their inseparable duo like attitude made it obvious.
Simon did argue that Nightknight and Brightman are not as close as you think, even Ronny argued against this as he just wanted Chad to lose his Brightman comparison.
But there is little to no chance that would happen, as even if David was not compared to Nightknight Chad would still be compared to Brightman.
Best part would probably be Lily who got compared to Vitamaria just because their personalities matched, that girl is awesome. Let’s speed through the rest.
Kenny got Firebull, Howard got Goldeneagle, Kyle got Fellbane(none knowing it is a girl/Chad knows), Lucas got Blue magician, Becky got Mullgon and Madeline got Skygirl.
Comparing Becky to the ugly, but friendly monster Mullgon is obvious bullying, but she does not have much of a reputation in this class.
Nyarai got an odd one, Nana/Na Defenevene an old and famous super hero of the Pantheon group who is considered dead, she was considered THE kindest being on earth in her time.
