Kaira grabbed her backpack and got ready to go to her next class when she heard a noise in another class. She poked her head in and found the room dark, the only light source being the computer monitors glowing with the school logo. Kaira knelt only to flinch back at the creature she saw.
One of the teachers stood up and glared at Kaira. "This isn't your classroom, Kaira. Now run along,"
Kaira quickly ran through the halls.

Kaira was startled awake when the cabinet she was hiding in opened.
The man who found her screamed, causing Kaira to move backward, only to cause the packaged rats to fall around her.
Kaira looked up when the door to the room opened and just wanted to hide again when she saw the Doctor.
"Kaira," The Doctor greeted.
"You know her too?" The blonde cafeteria worker questioned.
"You told me to investigate, so I started looking through these cupboards, then I found her, and all these fell out,"
"They're rats," The blonde noticed. "Dozens of rats. Vacuum-packed rats!"
Kaira's eyes widened, and she quickly shifted to get out of the cupboard.
"No wonder you screamed," The Doctor smirked at Kaira.
"I didn't scream," Kaira looked over at the african american.
"Well, what'd you expect me to do. Finding a kid hiding in the cupboards surrounded by rats?!" The male exclaimed.
"You scream like a little girl." Kaira noted as she brushed herself off, "Nine, maybe ten years old. I'm seeing pigtails, frilly skirt,"
"You sound like him,"
Kaira frowned at the comparison.
"Hello," the blonde spoke up "Can we focus? Has anyone noticed anything strange about this?"
"Right, your parents must be worried," The journalist told Kaira. "What are you doing in school at night?"
The Doctor raised an eyebrow with an amused smile, waiting for Kaira's response.
"What about the rats?" Kaira questioned. "Bit old fashioned,"
"Well, obviously, they use them in biology lessons," the journalist replied "They dissect them. Or maybe you haven't reached that bit yet,"
Kaira shook her head. "No one dissects rats in school anymore. They haven't done that for years,"
"Moving on..." The Doctor intervened. "Everything started when Mr. Finch arrived. We should go and check his office,"
"Well, seems you and the Scooby Doo gang have this covered..." Kaira began to leave, but the Doctor grabbed her arm.
"Oh, I don't think so,"
Kaira huffed but followed next to the Doctor.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything," The blonde said "but who exactly are you?"
"Sarah Jane Smith." The journalist replied, "I used to travel with the Doctor,"
"Oh!" The Blonde marveled. "Well, he's never mentioned you,"
"Oh, I must've done," The Doctor reasoned "Sarah Jane. I mention her all the time,"
"Hold on," The blonde shook her head "Sorry...never,"
"What," Sarah Jane said, "not even once? He didn't mention me even once?"
"Oh, mate." The man chuckled. "The missus and the ex. Welcome to every man's worst nightmare,"
