Keefe POV

It's been a week since Felix and I first met up. We've met up every day since, always causing trouble. I don't think I've had this much fun since the Great Gulon Incident. But it feels like my friends are hiding something.

Dex POV

Biana, Fitz, Tam, Linh, and Sophie are gathered around me as I hack into the Foxfire records. Keefe keeps ditching us after school and Fitz is determined to find out with whom.

I quickly put in what we know about him. He has brown hair, he's in Keefe's level, his name's Felix, and he's a prankster, so he's probably been in detention at least once. We actually don't know much, but it shouldn't be that hard.

I load the results...

"Nothing."

I delete a couple things. "Nothing."

I run a cross reference with Registry records, and even with Exillium records. "Still nothing."

"It's like he doesn't exist or something." Sophie says what we're all thinking. "Legally, he doesn't. He doesn't have Foxfire, Exillium, or even Registry records" "Keefe needs to stay away from him. He could be dangerous." Fitz says angrily.

"Stay away from who?" Keefe says from behind him, coming around to see what we were looking at.

"WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO FIND THINGS OUT ABOUT FELIX!" He yells at us. "HE'S NOT DANGEROUS!" "YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!" Fitz yells back. Biana, Tam, Linh, Sophie, and I are just staring in shock. Fitz and Keefe never fight. They're best friends.

"HE CAN'T BE ANY FUN ANYWAYS!" Fitz continues. "YOU ONLY MET HIM LAST WEEK, AND HE'S THE SHY QUIET KID!" "SO WHAT! HE'S MORE FUN THAN YOU!" Keefe storms out, probably to go see Felix, slamming the door behind him. Fitz leaves soon after, and Biana follows, going to comfort him.

Luna POV

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! ALL WEEK YOU'VE BEEN OUT AND YOU CAN'T SPARE TIME FOR US?! FOR LUNA?! SHE'S GOING TO FALL BEHIND ON HER STUDIES!" I hear Fintan yell. I leave my room, only to see him yelling at Felix. "I was out with my friend." Felix replied calmly. "And you and I both know that Luna is way ahead. Maybe even more than me."

They see me and immediately stop fighting, however, Fintan whispers something to Felix before stalking off. "Come on Lune." He sighs. "Let's go study."
