 In one swift movement, they sat me on a chair and tied me up. I, on the other hand, did not resist, in fact, I watched as they tied me up. At that moment, Miss Circle put her compass on my neck.

- Miss Circle: It seems we have a meddler among us. -she whispered as she ran the edge of the compass across my neck- What should we do with him?

- Miss Thavel: We could have a little fun, couldn't we? -whispers close to me. She ran her claw across my cheek.

- Miss Bloomie: Yes... We have him completely at our mercy... Plus, this way we could get a new punching bag, since the other one was very... "Rusty" -she laughs, looking at me.

- Alex: Do you mean Abbie? -I looked at her defiantly.

- Miss Bloomie: You see? I was right... This boy caught us -she slapped me. My head turned to the left because of the slap.

- Alex: So this is what you do... -I looked at the three teachers- you have fun at the expense of the students.

- Miss Circle: Very good, it seems that intelligence does not shine through its absence -she looked at me- tell me Alex, what exactly did you see?

- Alex: Everything... Absolutely everything... You are monsters... -I told the three of them without remorse for my words.

- Miss Thavel: Well, we already knew that -she laughed out loud- you are not the first nor will you be the last to tell us.

Miss Circle crouched down for a moment and looked me in the eyes. She moved the edge of her compass across my cheek and pressed against it for a moment, managing to get the edge inside it. I'm not going to deny it... It hurt. At that moment, I started bleeding from my cheek. I kept staring at her without flinching. Next, she pulled the blade out of my cheek.

- Miss Circle: I don't know if you're very tough or very stupid... -she ran a finger through the blood on my cheek and brought it to her mouth- but I'm sure I'm going to have fun with you. Look, everyone who has discovered our "exploits" has ended very badly, not to mention that we have ended their lives in unimaginable ways. I sincerely believe that you are not that naive. I think you have something -she moved closer to my ear- and I'm going to find out... One way or another.

Miss Circle then stood up and proceeded to untie me. I got up from my chair and left the teachers room. I headed to the classroom again with my hand covering my cheek. Upon entering the door, Nia and Skell were talking to each other. I approached.

- Skell: Alex... Are you okay? -he asked worried.

- Alex: Yes, it's nothing... I tripped, fell and the bad luck is that there was a thumbtack on the floor. -I hid it so as not to worry.

Then, Nia very gently pushed my hand away and looked at the bloody hole in my cheek. She didn't react, just stared for a moment until she spoke.

- Nia: This is no way from a thumbtack... -she examined the hole- Who did this to you?

I looked at Nia a little worried but suddenly, Miss Bloomie walked through the door, then proceeded to close it.

- Miss Bloomie: Sorry I'm late again... -she looked at me as if surprised- Alex! What happened to you? -she ran up- Who did that to you? Where did you go?

Total surreal but an impressive actress. I looked at Miss Bloomie with the intention of saying everything that had happened but instead, I whispered.

- Alex: I'm fine... It's nothing important.

- Miss Bloomie: You had me very worried... -she looked at me with an evil smile.

- Alex: Yes... Me too -I whispered.

- Miss Bloomie: Well, I'm glad you're back. We can continue with the subject. We only have 20 minutes left in class, so... Let's go. -she went towards the blackboard.

Nia couldn't help but look at me with intrigue. What had happened? Where I went? Who did the thing to my cheek? Uhm...
