Chapter 3

Recap:

We walk into science, after we grabbed our stuff from our lockers. We walk in and see one of the people I know from the FBI. Her name is Danielle. My mom and her were really good friends. That is why she became a fed. I joined about 2 months after her.

She looks at me and smiled.

"Morning Mrs. Kvalevog." I smile at her while saying this because that isn't her real last name. Just a cover.

"Morning Nia." She gladly returned the smile. I don't have a code name because I HATE them and I always forget them.

"How do you know her?" Oliver asks me. This is the time I realize the whole group is in here, but I don't see Skylar. He is probably in Honors Science or Chemistry.

"Oh. She is friends with my mom." The gang nods. I look back over at Danielle and she is frowning while looking at me. Trying hard not to cry.

I whisper over to her. 'It's gonna be okay.' Right away she brightens up.

The bell rings signaling it is time to start class.

"Okay class. I have a seating chart."

We all groan.

"There will be 6 people to a table." We, people in our little group, notice that there are only six people.

"Theo, Jensen, and Oliver." She pointed to their spots and they high-fived. "And across from Theo, Ali. Across from Jensen, Kalie and then finally, across from Oliver, Nia." We are all smiling. 1 because we are all sitting together and 2. because we are the back table so we can make trouble without getting caught as easily, and I know Danielle will go easy on us because of me.

"Okay class take out your notebooks and writing utensils. We are gonna be taking notes. And I will let you talk to each other and listen to music" The class groans while taking out their stuff. I take out my headphones and play 'One Call Away' by Charlie Puth....

After 10 minutes of writing/copying off of the board. Kalie looks over at me.

"How is your handwriting super neat? And why do you do it in pen?" I look down at my paper and laugh, a short laugh though.

"Well for one my handwriting is horrible and two, I do it pen so I know what stuff is important and which stuff is just filler notes."

"Cool. You should help me with that. That is a good idea."

"Okay. Well I am going to Katelyn's house after school."

"The whole gang is too." She looks at me like I should know this.

"Okay. Sweet." I look back at me paper and then look the board and write down the next set of vocab words.

"Hey where is Skylar and Kodie anyway?"

"They have Honors science." Oliver answers my question instead of Kalie. I nod and get back to writing notes

*TIME LAPSE*

In geography the teacher, Mrs. Maki, just had us making maps about what country we were born in thinking everyone would draw the U.S. . After a while she starts walking around.

"Nia. I didn't know you were born in England."

"Yes. I was actually."

"Not to be rude but you don't really have an accent do you?"

"I do actually. It took me years to learn the American accent too." I start speaking in my 'homeland' accent. By now the whole class has learned that I have a super thick accent.

"That is so cool."

"Thank you." I thank her as she walks off.

Ali leans over to me.

"What part of England?"

"Oxford."

"Weird. That's where Theo grew up till he was about 8.Then he moved here."

"Seriously?! Is is full name Theodore?"

"Yes." Alix looks at me mysteriously.

"Did he go to Yerges Academy?"

"Yes. He did. Why?"

"We used to be really good friends. When he moved our families lost contact with each other and we had never heard from them."

"He was always talking about someone he grew up with but he never called her by her real name. It was..."

"Resse's?"

"Yes."

"That was me."

"Why Reese's?"

"I used to eat Reese's like crazy when I was little and it just stuck I guess."

"Cool. I will have to tell him that."

After my little conversation with Ali, the class goes by super fast after that. Then the bell rings and I make my way to my locker to put my stuff away. Once I close my locker I walk to the Choir room. I notice that the whole gang, except for Ali is in here.
The teacher ,Mrs. Dale, wants us to think of a song,practice it and then sing it in front of the class. I am super nervous. I can NOT sing. She said: 'Even if you can't sing, you can at least try.

I think of the song 'One call away' by Charlie Puth. I sing it in my head, then I play it on my phone with my headphones. She yells at us to get ready to sing.

"How about..." She looks down at her student list. "Nia, how about you. Come up here and sing."

All eyes turn to me. This is the kind of attention I wanted to avoid. I walk up to the front of the room with my face blushed. I start getting ready to sing, but little did I know someone, hacked into the classroom cameras and ,was watching me.
