"I just- I dont get it. Why would Drista, my oldest friend, yell at me saying we 'cant hang out till that thing is gone'?" I gritted through my teeth, not only frustrated at Drista, but at the clock I was failing to make.

"She knows what I'm capable of, Kate. It's not you she's mad at, it's me she's mad at." Conor said as he finished up his flying machine.

"Why would she be mad at you?" one of the girls we were sitting with asked.

"I- I did somethings to her and her brother that had a negative impact on them." he said.

"I guess some girls do hold a grudge after many years passed." she said then went back to her clock.

As we flooded out of the class, Mumbo had stopped me and pulled me aside.

"Conor, wait outside while I talk to Kate. Okay?" He said as he shoved Conor outside and closed the door.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"I noticed you struggling in class today while trying to make a simple clock. So, I'm going to offer you some extra help in my class. It's only a few minutes after school once a week." Mumbo said.

I thought about his offer for a moment. "I dont know. With Karl, Conor, school, and everything else going on, I'm not sure I can do it." I said.

"Katelyn, you're a smart kid. Your marks are high on all of your classes, but this one." The mustached man said, "If you need help, let me know. Okay?"

I nodded, then left.

"Is everything okay, Kate?" XD asked once we sat down at our next class.

"Hm? Oh, yeah. Everything is fine. I'm fine."

"No, your not." XD said, almost slamming his hand on the table, "something is wrong with you. You've been down since the trophy case. You normally seem happy in your redstone class, and even in history you dont look like you about to sleep."

"Look-" I started as the teacher walked in, then instantly went silent.

"Good morning class. How is everyone?" Mr Iskall said, and the class grumbled with exhaustion and annoyance, "Same. But let's get one with the class." (Mood)

History seemed slower than usual. Its either because the teacher answered all questions with another question, or because Conor wouldn't stop bugging me with notes.

"Conor, stop." I whisper-yelled at him, "it will be fine." He glared at me in response and put one last note on my desk.

I finally looked at the note to see what it read.

Ask Karl if he can call Dream about the book. Tell him that you will pick it up after school one day with a friend then go home.
