I ended up being the first to reach the school, even if Elias's fast sprints felt like a challenge for me. I was just calmly riding my bike around the streets and avenues while Carter and Elias were struggling to catch up. That could prove a theory that people who ride bikes reach their destination faster than people who walk, I thought. Even if they sprint...
"First!" I said, reaching the bike rack where I usually park my bike at.
Then, I see Carter running towards me with Elias not far behind.
"That... was... a... killer..." Carter breathed.
"Agreed... I never... thought... we would... stay up... until... 2:00 am... yesterday..." Elias stated.
"There's a nearby water fountain near the courtyard over there," I said as I pointed to the water fountain on the path to the courtyard.
"Thanks," Elias said and both of them went over to the water fountain to have some water after the long run.

They came back after about a minute. It's already 7:53 am now and we have about two minutes until the bell to our homerooms ring. I decided to use those two minutes to try and convince Chelsea that we'll be good companions, the trip won't take long, and the fact that it'll be fun. The problem is, where's Chelsea?
"Shouting for her name would suggest that we're idiots," Carter said.
"Where in the world could she be?" Elias said.
I pondered for a minute, then an idea popped up!
"Let's look in the drama classroom. We know Drama is her favorite subject." I suggested.
"Good idea, let's check there before the first bell rings." Elias gave a thumbs-up.
We walked at a brisk pace over to the drama classroom. We peeked inside and Chelsea was the only one alone in the classroom. And is she summoning fire?
"She has pyrokinesis, just like Carter," Elias whispered, now realizing why Chelsea is part of the quest.
"And from the looks of it, she is not interested in going to the ice realm. I heard from her that the cold affects her nail polish or something." Carter added.
"Then how are we going to do this?" I asked.
"What kind of things are in the Ice Realm?" Carter questioned back.
"Erm..." I wondered. Is there a way that a girl could get some beauty tips while in the realm?
I knew that Elias heard me since I found out he had a bit of mnemokinesis last night.
He nodded. "I think there might be some creatures there that can give her beauty tips, mostly involving using ice water."
Carter looked at him like he was insane.
"I'm serious, the water Kraken told me that there is one fairy in the ice realm that washes her hair every other day in ice water. That fairy claims it makes her hair sparkle. And by the way, the Kraken is the water realm's guardian." he explained.
"Okay, I believe you. We'll probably tell her that kind of fact I guess..." Carter said, finally getting the idea.
"And I'm pretty sure she wants to have silky hair too, and her friends would be asking her a lot of questions," I added.
"We're settled. Let's go before the bell rings." Carter said.

"Why would you want me to go to the Ice Realm when I don't want to?" Chelsea asked.
"Chelsea, there's one reason why and you're probably going to like it," Elias said. "Even if you clearly hate us..."
"Did you know that when you wash your hair in ice water every other day, your hair will really sparkle, as well as noticed. I heard from one of the ice fairies that it truly works.And it makes your hair silky too." I explained the reason.
"You're not joking, are you?" Chelsea raised an eyebrow.
"We're serious." I urged on, trying to get the point across.
"Alright, I'll try to enjoy it then. I know that if we try making ice water here, that kind of trick that you're talking about won't work. In the Ice Realm, I'm hoping it'll work. I'll be watching." she said, then she walked away towards the classrooms.
Probably to her homeroom, I guess... I thought.
"Okay, that was fast... Now can we go to our classes now before our teachers mark us tardy?" Carter suggested.
"Sure," Elias said.
We parted ways and I walked, again at a brisk pace, towards Geometry/Trig.
