Joy's POV
"You want to be in a debate with me?", asks Clia once again.
"Yes, I do", I reply, this time more bravely than before.
I get the feeling that I'm playing with a dangerous fire, that if I deal with it in the wrong way, it will burn me very badly.
"I think I'll learn more, and get good experience by being in a debate with you. I think competing against you will teach me more", I continue.
I try to read her expression, it looks quite solemn.
If only I could read minds
"Alright then, sure. For the next debate I have, I'll make Shoda arrange for it to be against you", she says and walks off.
Before she walks away, I can see her smile. It doesn't look quite like a smirk but actually happy and even impressed.
Survived the storm
"Well that was bold of you", says a low creepy voice, from behind.
"Ahh!", I scream and jump.
It was just Shoda.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you", she apologizes.
"Oh that's okay, anyways, you're such a great debater! As soon as I finish debating with Clia, I want to have one with you!", I say excitedly.
I feel so excited and bubbly, I feel so powerful I can probably take on Thanos. Okay, maybe not Thanos, maybe Dr. Penguin, if I can bait Henry.
"Hmm, we'll see", says Shoda and skips away.
Sometimes she's so serious she can kill people with her stare, the next minute, she's bubblier than bubble tea
---------------------------------------------
"Okay, class, looks like we have five minutes left of this lesson", says Miss Hendrix, obviously preparing to make an important announcement.
"Actually there are four minutes left, but please continue", says one of the twins.
Miss Hendrix shoots him a dirty look, while we all pray that his soul reaches heaven safely.
"Quiet Taylor", snaps the teacher.
"Actually, I'm Tyler", says Tyler.
"Who cares you're both equally annoying, now let me make my announcement!", shouts the teacher, annoyed.
Everyone shuts their mouth and doesn't open them until the teacher finishes her announcement.
"Okay class, everyone has been doing well academically during these first two weeks, and I am very happy about that. However, you guys haven't been talking to each other that much. So, the other Rose teachers and I, have decided to give you an activity to do as a group", says Miss Hendrix excitedly, "You will all need to find the seven school horrors, as a class, take photos with them, and check them off your list, this activity will occur next Monday, that's it",
Everyone starts talking excitedly.
"I love ghosts and apparitions", I tell Yasmin excitedly.
"Oh, so do I, I watch lots of movies about them", replies Yasmin, just as excitedly.

Monday ( Third person)
"Does everyone have everything they need?", asks Miss Hendrix.
The class doesn't answer, they can't hear her since they're so loud.
"Does everyone have everything they need?" says Miss Hendrix once again, a little more loudly.
The class still doesn't hear her. Miss Hendrix wears the expression of a serial killer, and before she can murder the entire class, Lilith and Adalyn walk up to her.
"Uhm, calm down Miss, we can help you", consoles Lilith, "Or rather, Adalyn can",
And Lilith covers her ears while Adalyn opens her mouth.
"Everyone, SHUT UP!", screams Adalyn like a person who forgot wear the middle C was one the keyboard.
They all look at her, without daring to open their mouths. Except, of course for the idiot Tyler.
"Where's the banshee?", he asks.
And for the second time in this chapter, the other students pray for his soul.
"I'm sorry what did you just say?", asks Adalyn with a dangerous voice. It was the type of voice your mother uses when she asks whether you've done your homework. You have to be very careful when answering.
"Uhh, I was saying that your voice is the type that would make a banshee scream", he says, "With happiness",
And like that, Adalyn walks away, not quite sure if she should believe him.

Joy's POV
The class splits into two groups, mixed with both boys, and girls.
Oh god, please don't let Kaden be in my group, prays Joy.
But then, the devil himself (Kaden), walks towards her group and stands there. With her group. Right next to her.
No, no no! This can't be happening. I need to speak to the teacher, ask her if I can switch groups
And she walks towards the extremely tired Miss Hendrix.
"Miss please, can I switch groups?", pleads Joy.
"I'm sorry, Joy, I know you want to be with your friends, but this activity is so you can meet new people", says Miss Hendrix.
"But Miss, my friends are in the group I'm in now", says Joy, and this was indeed true.
"Then why are you asking to switch groups?", asks Miss Hendrix, confused.
"Miss if I were to explain that now, the author would need to write even more things, and we all know how lazy she is", answers Joy, "Right guys?",
"Yes"
"So lazy"
"Remember how many mistakes were in the last chapter?"
"Alright, alright you can switch groups", says Miss Hendrix, not about to argue with a stubborn and moody teenager.
"Yes! Thanks Miss", says Joy and and skips away happily, not knowing the huge mistake she had just made.
She walks over to the other group which had mostly girls. Then she stood there since she didn't really know everyone. And-
"Kaden! Why did you come here?", asks Joy, surprised.
"This is my group", he says, also putting on a surprised expression.
"But, isn't that your group?", she asks pointing to the group she had just begged the teacher to leave.
"No", he answers.
"Then why were you standing there?", asks Joy her face now wearing the expression of a child who just had her candy stolen.
Kaden shrugs, "Because I felt like it",
I'll strangle him later, first, I need to change groups again
Joy rushes to the teacher and begs her to put her in the group she was in before.
"Okay Joy, that's it, if you don't stop complaining I'll, I'll, well I don't know what I'll do but it'll be bad!", snaps Miss Hendrix, who had obviously had enough.
"Fine", says Joy grumpily and walks back to her new group.
------------------------------------------
Third person
"Okay guys", says Reyna, "I have the school map, and list of horrors, it looks like there are four we have to find, but we aren't told their names, we're just given one clue, that will lead to the next one",
"Great, it's become like a scavenger hunt", says Henry.
"Come on Henry, the exercise is good for you", says Joy.
"Hah, you're one to talk", says Kaden smirking.
Before Joy can kick him, Reyna says, "Guys focus, we shouldn't be wasting time"
"Alright", says Joy, "What's the first clue?",
"Uhm, I can't really read all of this, it's too much for my ADHD brain", says Reyna looking a little bit dizzy, after already reading the instructions.
Claire comes and takes the list, "True, it's like one of those long Wattpad stories without paragraphs, anyways, the first clue is; The room with lovely melodies, open the door with plenty of keys",

Ughhhhhhhhhhhh I don't know what's been happening with wattpad, all the work won't save, so I had to do this and post this in a different chapter instead. (It was supposed to be one chapter)
Sorry I haven't been updating late, wattpad's been laggy and I have to do other work.
Anyways, what do you think is the answer to the question?
