It's so silent that you could hear a feather hit the ground. Finally I spoke up...

"What do you mean "they've been kidnapped"?" I ask. "It means they went out for brunch and will be back in an hour." a black haired girl with glasses says sarcastically. "Obviously he means that they've been taken!" she continues. "It was just a question..sheesh.." I say with an eye roll. The girl was about to run over to me but was held back by a guy wearing a white smiley-faced mask. "We're not going to get anywhere by arguing!!" the smiley-faced mask guy says annoyed. "All of the teachers have been kidnapped, we got that. What we need to figure out is where we can find them and how to get them back." he explains.

"Ok but how are we gonna do that? 'Cause, incase you haven't notice, we don't know where to start!" the black-haired girl shouts. "Uh, we look for CLUES!! DUH!" the smiley-faced mask guy says annoyed. The black haired girl just scoffs. "Can you guys please stop arguing!?" Funneh shouts. "Dream's right! We need to look for clues if we ever want to find our teachers." she continues.

"Blue haired boy! What did you find?" Funneh asks. "All I found was this letter. Also my name is Sora.." the blue haired boy says. "Thanks Sora, that really helped a lot..." a red haired boy grumbles. "Well bring the letter here and let's read it." I say. Funneh looks at me confused. "What? How is that gonna help?" she asked. "Because the paper could have some clues on it. I doubt all it says is "Your teachers have been kidnapped"." I explain. Sora shrugs and brings the paper over to me. I grab it and start to read it out loud.

"Dear students of Power Academy,

We regret to inform you that your dear teachers at around 7 today were KIDNAPPED! By us, we have no intention of revealing ourselves but we might consider releasing your prescious teachers for a fee of course. M33t us at the 786 Drive park behind the 5th tree there. Bring only 5 people, no more and no less. Oh, and no cops if you will. We'll tell you what we want when you get there.

Sincerely,
The Kidnappers..

P.S: Lily whites....are never really white..."

Once I'm done reading it I'm more confused and scared than to begin with and so is everyone else. "Wait, what?" a girl with brown hair says aloud. "I'm so confused."
"You aren't the only one..." I say as I reread the letter. "Why do they only want five of us, and what are "Lily whites"?" I continue. "Oh, uh...Lily whites are a flower that's grey or silver. They're most commonly used for facial creams, rash healers, and cures for a sore throat. They're usually grown wild but there's a shop not too far from here that sells their seeds." Lunar explains. Everyone, including myself, proceed to stare at her in confusion. Lunar, now flustered, continues "Th-they're my second favorite flower and I use them a lot for cures and...stuff..."

"Ok, so we know what Lily whites are..but what does this have to do with the ransom note?" I question. "I don't know. Maybe the person is a lily fanatic?" Funneh suggest. "No..I don't think that's it.." I say.
"Well we gotta come up with something!!" Yammy says concerned. "I mean we can't just give up!!" I sigh, I know that the girl is right but none of us even know where to start looking. I reread the letter again...wait... "Why are some of the words on here in bold?" I ask confused. Was that always like that? If so, how had I missed it? "You're right!" Funneh says in surprise. "It's almost like they mean something.." she continues. "Uh, yeah blueberry!! It's a secret message! The problem is that NO ONE here knows how to decode it." a red haired snaps.
"Uhhh...I could try!" a brown haired guy suggest. All eyes turn to the guy and he nervously rubs his neck. "I-I can decode messages. I kinda learned how to how to years ago..." he continues. "And you didn't say anything earlier because...?" the black haired girls asks. "Well we just clarified that it was a coded message so..." the brown haired guy says with an eye-roll. The black haired girl with glasses looks like she'll explode but before she can I quickly hand the letter to the brown haired guy. "Are you sure that you can de-code this?" I ask as I give the letter to him. He takes the letter from my hand and examines it. "Yeah..this looks simple enough."
