                I left Jin and his crew early. I could see how shaken up all of them were from their encounter with Headmaster Constance, and figured that was something I couldn't help with. I didn't know them well enough, but Jin did. He could go on all day about how he didn't care for them, but I knew he'd pull them back together.

                Besides, I should get my part of the job done as soon as possible. We needed to know when Leon Constance would be on campus so we could make our move.

                So I made it back to the dorm building and let myself into my room. Jordan spun around and frowned at me.

                "You never came back to class," he said.

                "I took a personal day." I sat down in my chair, stretching my leg out. "Hey, does Constance's kid Leon come on campus often?"

                "Too often," Jordan said in annoyance. "He's not part of the Academy. He has no reason to be here."

                "Yea, how dare he come to the Academy his family owns and runs," I said. "What a shitty guy. When's the next time he'll be on campus? Headmaster Constance made it sound like he wants kids in the Peer Program to keep an eye on him."

                "Because he meddles in the Peer Program. He meddles in all of Mr. Constance's programs," Jordan said, shaking his head. "He'll be here in three days to help teach one of the Maroon classes. We already plan on having someone in the classroom to keep an eye on him. I don't know when he'll try to stick his nose back in the Peer Program, but I'll let you know so you can watch him for us."

                "Wow, great, awesome. I love spying on family drama," I said.

                Jordan leaned back in his chair, a smug look coming to his face. "We'll be keeping an eye on Jin's group the next few days. They should be weak from Headmaster Constance. He's not as powerful as he used to be, but he can still get in kids' heads."

                "So, what, you're going to beat on mentally shaken kids?" I said. "Wow, why did I even ask. Of course you are."

                "This is a good time to put pressure on them to disband their group," Jordan said. "We'll take care of them by the end of the week. Mr. Constance is confident we can finally end their group."

                "Do you know what Headmaster Constance attacked them with?" I asked.

                Jordan shrugged. "I can guess. Mr. Constance told us about Jin and his friends so we could handle them better. He warned us to be careful of Karson because he has a history of violence, and to be careful of Amelia because she can get blackmail on us easily. But Jin's just a pathetic drunk, and Lev is just here as a damn babysitter."

                "Well, good luck with your plans of traumatizing problem kids," I said, turning away from him and opening my laptop. I put my headphones on, started up the CD Jin had made me, and tried to distract myself online.

                My phone buzzed and I looked down at the unfamiliar number. I picked it up and unlocked it, nearly groaning as I looked at the name of the group chat I had been added to.

                Jin and his friends typed their names into the group chat and I went through, adding their contacts to my phone. When I was done with that, I texted what I knew to them about Leon coming in three days to help out in a Maroon class. A text came in shortly after.
