"OMG, did you hear what happened-"
"9 billion-"
"Siren? In this school?"

The last comment is what intrigues me. If there was a Siren in this school, wouldn't I have heard about it first? After all, I am sent to the Principal's office more than I should for 'daydreaming', and the people that have interviews with him aren't the quietest of whisperers.

There's that and the fact that I like to discreetly follow the more popular people to catch slices of gossip here and there. From what I can make out, a weirdo that didn't talk in class was actually a Siren with a bounty of $720 billion. Apparently, they did something to Alyssa and got her into hospital, thank the heavens.

Obviously, my first step to track the Siren and get the bounty, I'd need to interrogate Alyssa or other witnesses to the scene.

"Hi fellow student, do you know an Alyssa? I need some info."
"Um, creep much?"

"Good morning to you! Did you see the incident? The Siren one, yeah."
"Ask Jessie Senior. She's like, her best friend."

"Jessie Senior, right? Are you friends with Alyssa? I'd like to ask you..."
"About what? I can't get you her number, it's strictly between us."
"No, about the thing, y'know the Siren incident. Do you know their name?"
"Whose?"
"The SIREN you IMBECILE."
"Ugh! Rude. It's like, Maya or whatever."

-----------------------------------------------------

First step complete. Now it's time to look at student records. There'd be multiple Mayas- probably- but I just have to look at, well, all of them. This Maya would most likely have something on their record that suggests they just might not be normal.

Before break is up, I rush to the Head's office and push past the people waiting. Principal Coxx isn't inside, so I mess about on their computer with a holographic clone of myself waiting outside.

----------------------------------------------------

Tucket, Maya - no, not her. Bad grades but not real problems.

Clarke, Maya - ah, possibly! Diagnosed with minor depression, also with bad grades.

Athenas, Maya - most likely her; she was expelled this week. Frequently sent out and given detentions but with above average test scores.

----------------------------------------------------

With this information in mind, I set out to find the multi billion dollar girl.
