Zia swallowed and looked up at Calvin. "It's just..." Zia whispered. "It's just that ever since I learned my parents were superheroes, I wanted to grow up to be like them and save the world. My older sister was my best friend, and she became a superhero and saved the world. I want to be just like them. But with my power it seems like I can't." Zia's eyes glistened with unshed tears but she couldn't let herself cry, not in front of Calvin! She blinked rapidly a couple times and bit her lip. "Thanks for the encouragement but I guess I need to figure this out on my own. Don't worry about it." Zia became her normal self again, now angry that she let herself get vulnerable in front of Calvin. She criss-crossed her legs and resumed picking apart the daisy, almost ignoring Calvin, not wanting to get emotional again.
(sorry if this post is weird, I'm kinda sad at the moment)
