Mao shook his head at Luke saying that most people probably didn't know how widespread the power thing was, not because he disagreed, but because he did and was disgusted by his lame, cowardly ass peers. "I can't figure out why more people aren't talking about this shit. I mean, just about everyone has more friends than I do, how is the rumor mill not going insane? That Songbird bitch can smell a hook up from a mile away, but never mentions how every fucking teenager has a super power on this stupid island." It didn't make sense!
"And that's my stance on this whole thing, by the way. Everyone in our high school as a power. End of story. I'm not even surprised when I hear about a new one." He swung his hand in a sweeping 'Whatever' gesture, a sour expression on his face.
"Okay, a list sounds good. Since I'm not 'supposed to know' about half the shit I know about, I'm all for leaving out names. So just a list of powers we know about?" Mao paused as he considered the code idea. It was good in theory, but Mao wasn't too clever when it came to that sort of thing. "Dude, I can barely speak English, I don't know how good I'm gonna be at making up a secret code."
