Maven and Phillip held both my arms on both sides and helped me back up to my feet. My left hand was wrapped around my right wrist. My right hand remained open and I tried not to move it.

"You guys," said Marge, "Be gentle."

"It's fine, Marge," I said when I properly stood back up with their help. "I'm just a girl who got ran over by hundreds of crazy teenagers."

Maven crossed his arms and sighed. "You do have a thing for being dramatic."

The sound of Maven's voice made my heart drop and, I'm gonna say this in a cliche way, but also for butterflies to fly around my insides.

But, that was not the only reason. The fact that he said almost the exact same thing Zero once sent me made me nervous.

I looked up to him, searching his deep brown eyes. I badly wanted to look away because of how beautiful his eyes were and I hated to admire him more. And seeing his eyes looking back at me wasn't really helping very much.

I glared at him, pushing away every drop of feeling I had. "Who are you, Maven?"

He stuttered and looked at me with confusion. "I-i..I'm Maven Knight."

"Are you sure about that, Maven Knight?"

Maven looked away from my gaze and turned his head to both of his friends. "Why is she confusing me so much? I don't even know who I am anymore."

I made him look at me again. "How did you know about my thing with being dramatic."

Maven looked at me wide eyed. He said nothing. Just stared at me, deciding on what to say.

That's when Phillip spoke up.

"Marge warned us along the way," Phillip answered coolly.

I turned my head to look at Marge. She pressed her lips together.

"I barely even know her. And she doesn't know me."

"The first words you told me were 'go save yourself,' so I assumed that it was in your nature," Marge explained, her hands fidgeting.

So, were none of these people really Zero? Because if they weren't then I just might be able to sleep soundly tonight. Knowing that nobody close to Maven knew my little secret.

I leaned back a bit, relaxing, I ended my interrogation.

"Mr. President," I looked at Maven. "Mr. Vice President," I looked at Phillip. "Ms. Treasurer," I looked at Marge.

"You may all go back to your classes. Sorry that I caused you all to be late," I curtsied in a fancy way. They were stunned and unable to react as I walked pass them.

Phillip was the first to recover. "Hey! Where are you going?"

I stopped in my tracks and turned to look back at them. "To the clinic, Your Majesty Mr. Vice President."

Okay great. Now they probably think that I was weird. Wait. I was weird.

With one last look, I turned my back on them and I slowly walked away.

"Did she just call me Mr. President?" I heard Maven muttered quietly.

Marge let out a breath. "I've never felt so special before."
