Cat's POV

Everyone files out of the bus quietly, as directed, and trods towards the closest of the large white buildings. As we enter, a woman in a lab coat carefully eyes each student before pointing them to one of the two large doors ahead. When I pass, she looks me up and down quickly before pointing to the door on the right. I look up at it to see Jenna go through and hastily follow her. As soon as I pass, a woman hands me an electric blue shirt with a number printed on it in black: 007. I feel really cool about being 007. Yeeeeeeah. I catch up to Jenna, who's holding a shirt of the same color, except it reads 006. "Where are we?" I ask. She laughs sarcastically, "I dunno, Disneyland?" "Seriously, what's going on." Her expression hardens. "I have no idea, but it can't be too good, can it?" Keb sprints up to us, wearing an identical blue shirt over his white long sleeve shirt. It reads 013. "What now, Bond?" He inquires. I frown at this new nickname. "Don't call me that. I don't want it to stick." "But your shirt-" "I know what my shirt says!" I slightly raise my voice as I take off my hoodie and pull the shirt on over my tank top. "Anyway, let's try find May and Declan. They can't be too far away, can they?" I put my hoodie back on without zipping it up and scan the room. Suddenly, a pair of hands grip my shoulders and I jump. I hear laughter and turn around. Declan. He's wearing one of the shirts, he's 015. Before I can yell at him for startling me like that, May comes up and tells me to calm down. I realize how jumpy I'd been since we entered this place and decide to follow her advice. On a brighter thought, I realize the five of us are together again! I smile and look around at my four best friends. Jenna's examining the room, possibly looking for someone to pick a fight with. Keb and Declan have now started conversing and laughing. May's looking back at me. She's holding a shirt in her hands like the ones all of us have, except the number is 016. I take in my surroundings, feeling foolish for not doing so earlier. We are in a largeish square room. The walls are a clean white color and there is no furniture. There are about a dozen more kids from our class milling around, socializing, examining the place and looking worried. I notice a large stage at the opposite end of the room and point it out to May. "What do you think that's for?" "I don't know, we'll have to wait and see..." She says doubtingly. We didn't have to wait much longer, though- soon, a light above the stage turns on. It's pretty pointless though, since the room is very well lit, but it succeeds to attracts attention towards the stage. A tall man in a lab coat walks on.

Oh shit.

It's the scientist guy from Declan's party.
