August
The last month before college was productive. You discovered a newfound ability: Liquification. It doesn't always work when you want it to, though, you can't liquify your whole self at once, and you've sometimes found yourself turning mushy when you're stressed or in danger. A bit useful in combat, but not much (what with the uncertainty), and you've had a couple of scares when you almost revealed your newest set of powers.
Still, you managed to get through. You started hanging out with the boxing people, skipping either a swimming day or a workout day. This has many perks. One, you hang out with a bunch of new friends. You start going out with one of them, Thurman Dixon, who has a variety of powers. Super strength, toughness, a bit of a healing factor, some super reflexes, and the ability to heal others a little bit. He's thinking of becoming a superhero, but he can't think of a good name. (He'd go into medicine, but doesn't want to waste time and money on a medical degree when he can just touch the guy and heal him. He's also not interested in his parents' suggestion of becoming a clergyman.) You go out with him for pretty much the whole month, enjoying his company. You make out a lot, so as to maximize the power gain from him. Also, he's nice.
In addition to watching, you box a little. Thurman shows you how, and in this way discovers your healing factor. By this point, people who know you have pretty much have accepted you as a late-blooming super; it's a perfectly acceptable excuse. Well, once he feels you're ready he suggests you spend a few rounds in the ring. Your powers make up for your lack of experience, thankfully. About a week after your first boxing match, your father finds out somehow and you're forbidden from going back to the group, but you picked up a couple useful powers. Well, technically one (flight, not that you know why that guy was boxing), but a couple of other powers were enhanced a bit.
Your summer of working out is paying off. Your body is still pretty slim, possibly because your healing factor won't allow big changes to your physique; however, you think you're around the peak of human strength given that limit, even without your super strength. Your endurance is also rather excellent. Excellent.
It's pretty much time to head out to college. Any last-minute preparations to make?
