What The Luck!?

Chapter 170 - 170. Keeping Up



"Are you sure? I can just go look for it, you can sit here and wait." Asher was still on edge as soon as he saw Jane pushing herself.

"No, I am going to find it before you and get the points. Then I will get you ice cream." Jane was very confident in her statement and Asher nearly felt bad for saying he was going off to find it.

"You go Jane! Get your ice cream date!" Sammy pushed the encouragement she could but the result was Jane and Asher becoming much more embarrassed than before.

"You killed the mooood." Laura nudged Sammy while giggling a little. The two of them started to whisper abut their own gossip while Jane pushed them away and headed toward the camp to search.

"Bro, go make sure she stays you know, standing up. I will teach these two a little lesson on discretion." Art cracked hi knuckles menacingly and received a few glares from the two girls.

"You're right. She could still be light headed." Asher grabbed the water bottle Jane had been drinking from and sprinted to catch up to her.

"So are they dating or just acting weird all the time? I'm terrible at figuring that sort of thing out." Jackson was a little nervous to ask Art this since he had always failed to see when people liked each other or were flirting. It had caused him to walk in the middle of some awkward situations.

"Being weird. They really need to just be flat out with each other. But hey, that's on them and not us, i'm just letting them do them." Art turned to Sammy and Laura, "And if you two decided to play match maker and annoy them then I will make sure that you both learn to walk to school with a fifty point lead ball and chain around your feet."

"We are ladies, you should speak to us using elegance." Sammy tried to play her own cards against Art but instead that caused him to advance and put pressure on them.

"Well I guess you want to start with extra training before searching for the luxury cabin egg. I knew you were dedicated. How abut I show you the insane work out that Asher's sister Cara put me through." The evil look on Art's face made her back down.

While the four of them continued this skit Louis found himself farther away in the woods than he had meant to. "Dang man, I thought he was actually going to kill me." He had run from Asher do to his threat after Louis had still posted the video. "So worth it." Louis laughed watching it again.

The forest was fairly quiet and he found that he was completely alone. The morning had been fairly hot and his running had pushed him a little farther than he wanted. Louis decided to take off his bandages since no one else appeared to be around and it was the best way too cool off.

His face was much more smooth and clean than anyone else's since he had been protected from the dust of the sparring field. Since he had been wearing them since he got his super power and only took them off when he bathed for safety reasons his skin had started to take on a more tender appearance.

The contrast of his blue eyes flashing with electricity and his pale white skin made him look to be some form of specter. "So much better. I should burn off my lighting all the time." He fell back on to the ground and enjoyed the peace. He had no problem being alone and actually enjoyed it. His time with his friends was great too, but having the time t sit and think was dear to his heart.

"I was able to shock someone without any problem today. I didn't even zap the entire area around me. Maybe I should find those mushrooms again…" Louis had made a lot of progress as he had embraced his super power while under the influence of the accidental mushroom incident with the others.

"Maybe I am just too afraid of it when I am focused on it." Louis was talking himself through these things slowly but surely and decided to try and create a small electrical current between his fingers.

He held his fingers an inch apart and tried to make the low amount of lightning in his body react. He was met with a small pop and the smell of burning. 'It didn't stay, what the heck.' Louis got a little more annoyed that it hadn't stayed like a smooth arc. He had seen the way it reacts in science class between two pieces of metal.

"Why is it when I use it I'm like a Tesla coil shooting off bolts but when I see it everywhere else it is steady and controlled." He sat up and held his two hands an inch apart trying again and again. With no one around to see him or get zapped he had no fear of trying this again and again.

The loud electrical pops were only heard by him and the animals as his practice became constant. He was exhausting the lightning his body created as soon as it appeared but the more he pushed the more feeling he had. He knew that the lightning in his body was constantly bouncing around his cells without any direction. It was just there moving around like a kid full of sugar.

"I need to make it more uniform, but when is electricity ever uniform?" He was pushing himself to dig up any small facts he had inside his brain. Every single science class he had had was being replayed over and over. The pictures ion electricity and weather from text books surfacing.

"Ha! In the electrical circuits!" Louis jumped up and started to try and use his body as its' own electrical circuit. The process was not easy and he felt that he had just sent his body in to overdrive. But it was a good feeling, he was going to make progress and the next match the looks of amazement his friends had for Jane would be directed at him. "I won't be left behind."
