"Gret...-" I didn't give her the chance to speak further.

"Amber let's go! We are getting late for the next class right? C'mon then!" I caught her wrist and started dragging her. But she had some other plans. She yanked her hand out my hold and crossed her arms.

"It's just 9 am. We have good 15 minutes to talk," She emphasized on 'talk' and I knew what she was referring to. She frowned at me.

I never thought that Amber could be angry. No scratch that, I never thought of her being serious on something this small. I knew she could get pissed after what happened outside the headmistress' office yesterday.

Yet again we were in the very place and Amber was again sort of upset with me. "What are you talking about?" I fiened innocence. She lightly shook her head.

"About the confidential thing." I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I had imagined Amber saying 'confidential' with air quotes but my brain was wrong. She still had her arms crossed and stiff position.

I sighed in defeat,"I also don't know."

"Then why did you say that?"

"It was a slip of my tonuge. Amber lets forget whatever that happened and move on for our next class, besides I really wanna know what's gym in here."

She stayed quiet but eventually gave in without any objection. We marched towards the elevator to reach the floor of our classes. Deep down it hurt me that I didn't tell Amber about it but I wanted it only to myself.

If I would've told her, she would definitely tell Jer and the caring friend he was, would come to help me. If I got trapped in this so-called new mission of mine I would drag those two in trouble too.

In no time we were in front of the gym which we visited yesterday. It was 9:09, there was still some time left for the class to start. A bubble of exictment bursted inside me.

Not for the gym but for what we were gonna do there.

Gyming was not my cup of tea but this seemed different. As if this was beyond machines and weights. I just didn't want crunches and push-ups. But then what is left for gyming.

Competitives gathered inside showing that the time for the break was up. But the strange thing was, we were welcomed with pitch blackness and a big digital watch hung in front with its digits in neon yellow flashing the time;

9:12 am, Sunday, 22 May

The question about not seeing the year on the clock crossed my mind but instanly left. The first class and after that deciding to find something confidential was already too much to balance with curiousity to know more.

"A nice way to begin the first gym class of the year," Amber muttered on my side. "We are competitives with electricity powers not with some night vision lens. What are they expecting us to do?"

Till then I was zoned out, but then I started taking notice of the scenario around me. The competitives were as clueless as others and were rambling things about this stupid joke of darkness in our gym.

Was the electricity gone?

Smartest question that I ever made to myself. I thought sarcastically. Here charge basically ran in our blood, shortage of that was not an option.
