I adjust my ponytail while looking in my locker mirror. Next class is Ms. Monica's and she doesn't spare anyone who's late, no matter how favourite that student is to her. From the corner of my eye, I see Anna's reflection coming towards me.

"Hi", she says with a cheery voice with her side ponytail rocking back n forth.
Joana comes and joins us as we share our greetings with each other.

"My parents left for Aina. I have the entire house to myself. Finally!" I tell them with excitement.
"By the way," I face Joana, "did the spelling bee's selective list came?"
"Uh, no I don't think so..." She replies avoiding eye contact and bringing her spectacles to the bridge of the nose tackling the books at the same time.

Anna, me and Joana, we all took the entrance test for spelling bee. It's the first time it's happening in Mizu. The test wasn't as easy as we all thought it would be. I doubt if I'll even clear the test.

Anna looks a bit distracted today. She hasn't been talking to me like she used to, since that night at Caleb's.

Before I could ask Anna how is she doing, Caleb appears and says, "Hi, girls. Hey Ann - a." He chockes on Anna's name as if it's a seed in an apple.

Joana leaves for her music class and Caleb continues, "I did some digging as you said. I don't think so if it's related to Kage,"

"Just tell us what it is," Anna says with excitement.

"Turns out... My dad was a twin and so was my mom. Twins brother married twins sisters. Soon each couple was blessed with a child.
One day, they all went to a road trip. Children were only 2 months old. On their way return, car crashed. One couple survived but their child didn't as for the other one, their child survived but the parents didn't." Caleb's family history woke me up, like I've never been so awake in my life. Not even after 2 mugs of caffeine.

"The child who survived was luckily me. But my parents didn't. So my uncle and aunt adopted me. Now known as my parents." Caleb tells us, still digesting this twisted history.

"Wait so - " before I could finish my sentence, the bell rings and everyone starts to scatter around, leaving for their classes, so do we.

Back in Ms. Monica's class. Everyone is busy complimenting her OOTD.

Ms. Monica is one of those teachers who mistakenly fell into this teaching profession, when her real journey was modelling. The perfect figure and height. Every girl wants to be like her and every boy wants her.

Today she is wearing a butterfly top with skin-fit jeans. Boys can not stop checking her legs.

"Why don't teachers also have a dress code or a uniform?" Brittney from the back seat says with disgust.

Brittney hates when she is not the centre of attention.

Ms. Monica's teaching is super fun. She explains the summary of a chapter and then asks us to form groups of our choice. Gives each group a topic to make a presentation and then we present it to the class.

This time our group consists me, Anna, Caleb and Brittney. We can not discuss the family history as Brittney is here. So we talk about something else.

Something like a chit passed from WEG group to Brittney. The chit is exactly what you think it would be like. A perfect equal sides square with a note book on one side and their message on the other. Brittney reads the message and a couple of chits are exchanged. Soon another chit is passed to Caleb. Anna reaches out and snatches the chit as Caleb writes on it. The chit is an invitation to a house party arranged by WEG group on the coming weekend.
