Okay I'll stop now-

...I was so excited for this chapter that I decided to post it a day early. Call me impatient if you must, but...yes. I am impatient, lmao. Not super impatient, but nevertheless. Oh and the image above is Lex and Eliza's apartment roof btw, it will appear quite a bit throughout this book.

P.S.

Be prepared y'all, Imma start cutting onions soon 😌

By the time I got to our meeting spot, I was almost completely out of breath. I know I'm a Kunoichi and all, but racing all the way to the entrance of an almost-empty school when you were on the third floor is more tiring than you'd think.

"You sound like you just ran a marathon." Eliza snorts as I put my hands on my knees, taking a few well-needed deep breaths.

"Oh... shut... shut up." I pant, dismissing her sass with a wave of my hand.

"Is there a reason you're 10 minutes late , even though you ran all the way here, or did you get distracted when you saw the library?"

I perk up almost instantly, and suddenly I'm breathing just fine.

"They have a library?"

"Well duh they have a library!" Eliza says in an exasperated voice "What school doesn't?"

"I don't know," I shrug in slight embarrassment "A really sad one?"

Wait, but is there really a school that doesn't have a library? Now that I'm thinking about it, that IS kinda sad...

Wait-

WAIT-

"Wait, no no no! That's not what I needed to talk to you about!"

"Well then hurry up, because we look weird just standing around here-"

"Not here!" I whisper-yell

"Then where?!" My sister almost yells, throwing her arms up in confusion.

I throw my skateboard onto the ground and jump onto it.

"Not here!" I yell behind my shoulder

I hear Eliza let out an irritated sigh and then a second later I hear the sound of her skateboard behind me.

"You are acting so weird right now." She shakes her head as we doge a few cars.

"I thought I was always acting weird?"

"Well, yeah, you are. But right now," She does an olly, landing on the sidewalk, which has way less people on it than it did this morning. "You're acting extra weird."

"You'll understand once we get home!" I sing, grinning ear-to-ear.

Okay, so maybe I was acting a little weird, but can you blame me? After the initial shock of what Casey said a few hours ago faded, excitement quickly replaced it.

How cool would it be to train with other people? Don't get me wrong, I loved training with my father, and Eliza and I have had some really good sessions recently, but after keeping our talents a secret for, well, our entire lives, it would be nice to be able to talk to someone about it, and even better, have them understand it.
