The Daughters of the Mayze

Sherlock, Frankenstein and Leto

Echo looked down at her phone and smiled at the text she had gotten from Aneisha.

'Mr Flately's suuuper relaxed with the dress code. You could go full princess charm school on your uniform and he'd hand you a lollipop'

Echo took that to heart, she bought the same school skirt as Keri, along with a pair of trousers and a fitted school shirt. She proceeded to tailor the skirt until it resembled a flimsy corset with the yellow of the school tie as the chords. She pulled her hair in an unfairly good looking (or so Keri said) messy bun and stepped into her modest, black heels. She placed her tie loosely around her unbuttoned collar and joined her sister in walking to school.

When the two girls finally found their friends, they were talking about the twins,

"Maybe they're nervous, you know how scary it was when we started here," Aniesha said as Keri launched her arms over Tom and Dan's shoulders.

"Guys! This place is so awesome, and everybody's so cool! Well, apart from that new deputy head. everyone says she is a total nightmare." The adrenaline pumped girl said,

"Mrs King," Aniesha clarified, "She's my auntie."

"Oh, ouch!"

"Nervous? Us? Aniesha I thought you said you could read people. I get why you'd think I'm nervous because- you know I can't even say I'm quiet but Keri? She is the definition of an extrovert." Echo said popping up on Dan's other side.

Tom didn't try to hide his laughter and Aniesha was vocal about it,

"Tom, it's not funny!"

"I looked it up on the internet, it's the funniest thing since time began."

"Wherever you got your information lied, Tom. The irony that three girls who rejected you said that they fancied your spy alias not a day later is the funniest thing since time began." Everyone chuckled at that and Tom choked,

"How- how did you?"

"Ooh! A party? So what's everybody celebrating? Other than me coming here, obviously" Keri interrupted and earned herself a half hearted slap on the arm.

"Ahh, Keri! Echo!" Mrs King, who they had inadvertently walked up to, called, "Would you believe that today we are 100 years old?"

"Really miss? You don't looked a day over 65." Said Roly, who according to Aniesha was the school clown, only second to Mr Flatley.

Tom laughed as Mrs King's voice hardened, "It's the school's centenary than you Donaldson." Frank walked past, "And someone's meant to be helping."

Frank turned around, "Sorry, but Mr Flatley wants his geography class in the playground." Everyone ran outside to see what the head had planned.

The funny teacher had set up a table of equipment and lightning rod and was laughing to himself as the students piled outside.

"Sir, you're not trying to contact Aliens again?" Aniesha said, thoroughly amused and confused. Mr Flatley proceeded to assure her that he was in fact doing something much more dangerous. Measuring how much electricity there is in a lightning bolt.

"A lightning conductor?" Tom exclaimed.

"Ah, yes Tom. I haven't exactly told Mrs King yet" the teacher confirmed. As the saying went 'Speak of the devil and thou shalt appear' Hermione King chose that moment to arrive. Loudly.

"Mr Flatley, what on earth?!"

The addressed fumbled for an excuse, "Ah! Ah, Mrs King, yes, it's simply part of our new. . . weather project."
