World Cubing Organisation

Today seemed as if it was going to be like any other day for Gabriella, She woke up at 6:30, showered, put on her clothes, ate and then left for school. However as she entered the building, she noticed that she kept getting weird stares and she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being followed by someone or something.

Gabriella had very few friends but the friends she did have were very close to her, and every day when school finished she would wait for one specific friend at the school gate, her name was Mari. After around 15 minutes of waiting Gabriella finally saw Mari walking towards her. She got up and started to walk towards her friend Mari, however as she got closer she noticed that something was off. It was relatively foggy that day, but Gabriella could tell that whoever was walking up to her was not her friend Mari, and in fact, on further inspection, they weren't even a girl. As the man got closer and closer to Gabriella she was able to make out some of his features, he had brown hair, was fairly skinny, looked as though he was around her age and on top of that, he was carrying what seemed to be a briefcase. She wasn't sure as to why this man was approaching her and she considered walking away but at the same time, it's not as if she felt uneasy or scared. Actually, she felt quite the opposite, something about this man was comforting.

"Who are you?" Gabriella asked the man with a confused look as he finally got to where she was. He stared at her for a few seconds before answering.

"I'm Damien, nice to meet you, Gabriella." He said to her, all while not breaking eye contact.

Gabriella felt her heart drop to her stomach, at this point so many thoughts were running through her head.

"How do you know my name? Where is Mari?" Gabriella managed to yell out. That's the only thing she could say right now but despite all of this, she still couldn't help but feel safe in this mans presence.

"I'm with the World Cubing Organisation, or for short, WCO. We've been looking at you for a while and have noticed great potential in you. As for your friend, I have no idea, honest!" He told Gabrielle, raising one hand in the air, the other holding his briefcase. This made Gabriella panic even worse, Damian could tell that she was freaking out.

"World Cubing Organisation!? As in Rubix cubes? I'm sorry but I think you have the wrong person, I've never even touched a Rubix cube in my life, never mind solving one." She exclaimed, she was desperately trying to figure out what was going on but no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't understand what was happening, not only that but now she has no idea where Mari is.

"Yes, you're right. I know it sounds ridiculous but you have to believe me, you don't have to touch a Rubix cube to be a cuber. Being a cuber is in your bloodstream, it's in your mind. Whether you like it or not, you are a cuber and now you may have to join us at the WCO, we're in desperate need of cubers, especially after the rise in non-cubers. You're our only hope, you need to save us all." He explained with a stern look, which was very different from his previous calm and peaceful expression. This change in his face told Gabriella all she needed to know. He was being serious, and she had to help him.
