Summary: Warren thinks about the night of the Homecoming.
The morning after: shallowness
The morning after Homecoming, Warren's memories of sidekicks becoming heroes, and teachers zapped into babies seemed like dreams. But, as he drank his self-heated coffee, he realized that dancing with a Layla whose big brown eyes hadn't been full of someone else had been the dream.
Warren grimaced. He'd seen what happened when you let your guard down and fell for someone you shouldn't. Last night had proved that he wasn't his dad. But last night he'd danced with a girl who he couldn't burn and who would never burn him like the dream of Layla and her flame-colored hair.

Noticing Warren. Sky High. G. Layla Williams/Warren Peace

Summary: Layla couldn’t stop noticing Warren…
Noticing Warren: shallowness
Layla wasn't exactly proud of it, but she couldn't stop noticing Warren. Even when Will was there.
Things had changed after he started dating Freeze Girl. And Layla definitely wasn't proud of never trying to find out what her real name was. The freshmen didn’t talk to seniors excuse was just that - Layla normally wouldn't perpetuate age discrimination. She'd breezed right past the issue with Warren.
But it was only now, way after the event, and all the talk of heroics had got boring, that she remembered how Warren had come through for her at Homecoming, had turned up in a suit, even.
And she noticed how, although he didn't appear to jump at commands like Zach did for Magenta, he never stopped watching his girl, even taking her hand in public. But what Layla almost resented was his rolling his eyes at his girlfriend, like he should reserve that for his friends alone. Only now that he genuinely had someone else to sit with at lunchtime – not that he did it always – she found herself missing his way of getting to the point.
And the point was that Layla wasn’t exactly proud of herself right now.

Summary: How does a principal address such a strange graduating year?
Specturm: shallowness
It's the last day of school, and Principal Powers has called in her spectrum of graduating students to the gym. She flies in over their heads, this strange year, where the front row is made up of sidekicks who are heroes too. They've always had kids whose talents are as diverse as the colors they wear, yet this year made her realize that, in trying to set the heroes apart, they lost sight of them.
She never repeats a goodbye speech word for word, yet this year, she's going to have to rebuild it completely. Much like the school cafeteria.
