Our next class. Hand-to-hand combat. I carefully listened to Ms. DeLuca speaking. "When the Republic of Texas openly declared genocide, which Indian tribe survived for another 40 years?" She asked, walking around.

"Well, they all got gone in the end." Willie said, jokingly. Clearing his throat, he apologised "Sorry Ms. DeLuca." And then, she continued. "The fierce Comanche survived due only to strength and cunning. Remember, hand-wringing liberal ideals won't keep you safe. The world respects those who can protect themselves. Every opponent has a weakness. Pick a partner. Find theirs."

When she said to pick partners, I instantly made my way to Marcus, because I didn't want him to get into trouble with someone else, but Maria was already on her way, towards him. "Come on, you're with me." I heard Saya say, grabbing my hand.

"Why did you want to be with Marcus?" Saya asked me. "Because he already got into trouble and now his partner is the trouble maker." I answered. "And when he gets into trouble, I'm into it as well." Right when Saya was distracted from my speaking, I took her down. "Nice one." Saya said. I turned around to see Maria and Marcus looking at us and talking about something. Soon after, Maria took down Marcus.

Our third class of the day. Poisons. Nothing really interesting happened, except for when Billy put something in Victor's drink, causing his digestive system to go crazy. He almost shat himself in class.

Lunch time. I was sitting with Saya and the other members of the Kuroki legacy. "How's the new boy, Gabi?" Yukio asked. "Trouble, that's all I'm gonna say." He looked confused and asked "Why is that?" I sighed and answered "He already got shit with Chico, I think they're going to fight. And the worst part is that I'm the one who's supposed to keep him out of this." Yukio just answered with "Oof, sucks for you."
"Yeah, sucks for me." I mumbled.

Right when I looked at Marcus' table, he was looking at me, while Billy was telling him something.

"What about her?" I asked Billy about Gabi. I turned to face her and her eyes met mine. "Oh, young man's got his eye on the unobtainable Gabriella. Good luck with the devil, Arguello." He said and I turned to face him. "Part valedictorian, part prom queen. Italian chic, the best part. 100 % bitch. And leads the Kuroki Syndicate, Yakuza kids. Gnarly. The most feared person in here."

I listened to Billy's words, facing Gabriella again. She was still looking at me and I decided to wave at her, but Billy immediately put my hand down. "No, dude. No, no, no. You're a Rat." I looked at him and answered "Harsh."

Billy continued. "As in not from a legacy. You got the welcoming rat bones and seasonal cheese basket." I opened the box to look at the rat bones, once again. "Yeah, we're at the bottom of the food chain. No affiliation." Billy finished.

I looked down, staying quiet, until Billy broke the silence, once again. "Come on, I want to show you something." And he dragged me out of lunch.
