"Do you all know why you're all here?" The principal asks.

"Rose punched me in the face!" Olivia shouts.

"Shut up! I hate you so much! You know how much pain you've caused me?" I exclaimed.

"You were always such an asshol-"

"SHUT IT!" The princpal yells.

We both stop yelling to look at the principal.

"Now then, I would like you all to sign this form. It's for you to all go to detention today and this week for one hour." The principal explains.

"What?! No fair!" Olivia shouts.

"It IS fair. Sign it!"

We all sign the form and head to the class we were assigned to. We enter the class room and sit down at the desks that were arranged for us.

"Man, this sucks." Olivia says.

"No kidding." Nick says.

I don't know how to feel about all this. Awhile ago, I thought I was living the dream. Now I'm in detention.

3:01 p.m., it's only been half an hour. Minutes seems like days. Mariah and Nick are only here because they witnessed this. Mariah. I should have never have had that moment with her. She could've gotten off scott-free.

"Hey Emma, let's just ditc-"

Olivia get cut off from the power going out. Luckily, I have a flashlight on my phone so I turn it on and look around the room to see what happened.

We all get confused by what's going on. So, we head towards the door to see if use could escape. That's when we all hear screaming from down the hallway.

▪ ▫ ▪

Hopefully I've located her. I must of. I mean, they're surrounding the school so.

I get out of my car and pick off the two nearest me. The rest notices me and fires their blasters in my direction. I quickly dodge it and head for the school. I don't have time for all this, I have to get to her.

I burst through the front doors and shoot three at three hunters down the hall in the head. They're probably looking for her too.

I look up and down the hall I was in. Nothing.

I need to check the rest of these halls. Things are going to get messy real quick.

▪ ▫ ▪

We all start to panic. Olivia looks scared for the first time, Nick tries to feel brave but really looks scared, Mariah looks completely in shock, and Emma just smokes a cigarette like nothing is really happening.

It didn't sound like screaming though. More like what the Predator makes in the movie Predator. That didn't sound normal at all.

"Hey, that didn't sound like screaming did it?" I ask.

"Yeah no, it didn't! I'm really scared!" Olivia says. First time I hear her actually afraid of her life.

"What are we doing?" Emma says. "Don't be such pussies man. I'll prove there's nothing wrong."

Emma walks over to the door. She hesitate at first but exits the room. She stands out in the hall for a awhile and we can see her from where we're at.

"Look!" Emma says. "It's totally fi-"

Out of nowhere, something hits Emma in the left side of her head and she falls flat on her face. She looked limp as she fell. We all get startled and stare at her body. Olivia screams and starts crying. Then we all see the principal thrown across the hall and land on his face. Blood everywhere.

We all head for a corner of the classroom, I head for the door to close and lock it, and we all hear footsteps. My heart is beating hard and everything tense up.

Someone is trying to get in. They turn the knob but it's locked so they can't get in-

Wait, they kicked down the door.

I find four teens staring at me. One of them crying and the rest look at me with fear. I would understand. They don't know what the hell is going on.

I slowly walk towards them and they flinch. I should start talking.

"Rose? Rose Ziegler?" I say.

A girl comes walking forward. She has a ripped up Pink Floyd shirt on with some tight shorts. She looks udderly confused that I know her name. I have to get them out of here.

So I use the older trick in the book.

"Name's Rogers. Come with me if you want to live." I say.

▪ ▫ ▪

Rogers looks horrible. His clothes are all wrinkled, probably haven't been washed yet. He has an unshaven short beard, is bald, and looks really tired.

He's wearing a "I Heart NY" shirt, and shorts like he's a tourist. However, he's holding a gun that doesn't look like any guns here on Earth. It looks like a NES Zapper but it's blue and black, and has lights or something glowing inside.
He looks relieved about something. I, on the other hand, am freaking out.

"I'm sorry? What's going on?!" I say while studdering.

"I don't have time to explain, we need you to get to a safe place as soon as possible. The Gavordions are already here.

"I'm sorry, who?" Olivia asks while trying not to cry.

"They're hunters and the ruler of their planet that isn't even theirs. It was her planet before they took it over." Rogers says and points directly at me.

I look at him like he's crazy and everyone looks at me like I'd give them answers or something. Nick looks confused, Olivia looks scared with tears down her cheeks, and Mariah looks like she's scared too.

"Wait, wait. . . What are you saying?" I ask.

"Well I don't know how else to put this but. . ."

"You're an alien princess, Rose." He says.
