I make it up the stairs into my homeroom, just in the nick of time. Mr. Alvarez scans his eyes around the class as I walk to my seat and begins taking attendance. I take my seat in the back by the window and close my eyes. I get lost replaying the crazy events in my head. My thoughts continuously float to not the electricly snazzy woman in black, but to my phone. How did my phone do that?

I open my eyes, hearing the door, and Gisabella glides into the room, her skirt swaying with her legs. Although she's small, her figure is pretty nice. It reminds me of that of a dancer, slender and nimble. She spots me and flutters to the seat next to me.

"You okay? Something seems to be bothering you ever since this morning at the store," she flashes her cute and innocent eyes at me through her obnoxiously sweet bifocals.

"I'm fine, I just got a text from my mom about her job and how she won't be home until later," I lie. I really can't have her worrying about me. I don't like others to worry about me, especially the ones I care about.

"Oh, really? Your mom is staying after for what? Does she have an extra sudden photoshoot to do or something?" Bella inquires, pushing me to confirm my lie.

"Yeah, something like that. But it's no biggie, I'll just cook my own dinner tonight," I grin and motion me flipping an imaginary ingredient in a pot.

"You could probably burn cereal. Scratch that, ice cream. You're terrible at cooking, Ki," she snorted and nudged my arm.

"Yeah well, eat the unburned Apple Jacks in front of you that the nice cooks downstairs provided for you,"

"I don't think they made this by hand, Ki"

"Oh shut up and eat!" I laugh and pretend to knock her bowl over the desk.

"Yukia! I received an email from Mr. Tobleman that you're needed in his office immediately." Mr. Alvarez calls to me, writing out a pass.

"You know for what?" I replied, wondering why I could possibly be needed.

"No idea. But you're free to find out yourself once you get down there!" He gives me a cheesy smile and motions for me to leave.

"You're probably in trouble because you're boobs are a danger to everyone's health!" Bella yells from the back of the class.

The entire class laughs and Gisabella basks in her comedic shine. I flip her the finger, knowing that Mr. Alvarez would write down our wrong doings and log them in the system later, and walk out the door.

As I make my way to the first floor, I notice a group of janitors crowding a classroom on the second. I decide not to think much of it and tread on. I make my way down the steps and down the hallway to the principal's office. There, I see two other boys sitting down.

One isn't really much to make of besides the slightly lean build up of his caramel skin and his regular haircut that appears to be cut by a surgeon degree barber. He's slouching in his seat with a face that shows just how much he loves being here. He turns to me and looks back towards the principal, waiting for his imminent speech.

The other boy is quite the show. He's a complete and utter nerd. He wears khakis and a plaid shirt with a shirt pocket. His hair is a mess, like a tornado ran over it and his glasses are tilted. He has sweat pouring down his face and all over his pasty, noodly arms. He shakes in his seat, obviously anxious of what is to come from the principal. I take my seat at the end, next to the ever so amused one.

"Now that you three are here, I can finally speak of the important matter at hand," Mr. Tobleman announces. He gets up and closes the door. As he turns to us, his face turns suddenly stone straight as he says, "You three are the New Keys."
