"So wait, you shut down a whole high school in one night?" Micahleah Stallings exclaimed as JJ Roe told the story of him and some others finding some major dirt on a school called Gettyson High.

"That's right," JJ replied. "And I got rewarded with more fire spells."

"And what about the others?" Marely Herrera asked. (She was also part of this little group).

"Well, lemme show you," JJ said as he led them to the teacher's lounge, where Alizay Boss and Wyatt Kellogg—who likes to call himself "Mysterious Kid" and was also wearing a mask to protect his identity—were having lunch.

"Hey, Alex Quan," JJ called.

Rolling her eyes, Alizay replied with, "Hello, JJ."

"Hi, W...mysterious kid," JJ said.

Wyatt said nothing, but instead nodded his head to acknowledge JJ's presence.

The bell rang, meaning it was time to go to the next class. JJ then left and led the way towards some room that used to be Drama class. The door was locked, but JJ muttered something in Latin and the door opened right up.

"Coniecto qui?" JJ said.

"Flammam gladii potuit?" Maralyssa asked as she emerged from the shadows.

"Esset mihi obscurum mollia," JJ replied.

"I told you not to call me that!" Maralyssa hissed. "And I told you NOT to bring anyone else...unless they know a spell or two."

"Uh, I can levitate stuff," Micahleah said.

"And I know a basic love spell," Marely said.

JJ started to get worried; Micahleah actually did know how to levitate stuff, but Marely had lied about knowing a love spell. Luckily, however, Maralyssa just tested Micahleah. Maralyssa grabbed a candle and put it on the ground.

"Levitate it," she said quietly.

Micahleah muttered in Latin, and the candle didn't budge. She repeated herself, but the candle still didn't move. She screamed at the candle in Latin, and it finally levitated.

"Not bad," Maralyssa said quietly. "But JJ and I have to perform a secret spell, so if you both could leave—"

"Oh, I actually showing them...school stuff," JJ said quickly, not being able to put words together well at that moment.

"Ok, but tonight, we have to perform the spell," Maralyssa replied sharply.

"Yeah ok, whatever," JJ muttered as he, Micahleah, and Marely exited the room.

"What did you two say?" Marely asked.

"It's for my sake that I don't say," JJ replied.

"Anyway, what about the rest?" Micahleah asked.

"Well, lemme show you science class," JJ replied as he snuck them into the science room.

He pointed to Caleb Copeland, who was secretly texting. (He had his phone between his legs and was making sure the teacher didn't see him.)

"Wasn't he supposed to have sixteen more ISIs?" Marely asked.

"Well, his last eighteen ISIs were cleared," JJ whispered.

"Ok, what about the other two people?" Micahleah asked.

"I'm getting to them," JJ said impatiently as he led them out of the room.

JJ led them to the breezeway, where Tyler Lee was practicing with his slingshot.

"You see," JJ started, "he got a concealed Jr. weapon license, which is good ONLY if he doesn't use his slingshot for bad."

"Now what about—" Micahleah asked before she was interrupted by a teacher.

"What are you all doing out of class?" the teacher asked.

"Oh, uh..." Marely said before running off.

"I was just, um, looking for the, uh, bathroom," Micahleah stuttered as she ran for the bathroom. (It was behind the teacher and to the right some.)

"Where's, um, English class?" JJ asked, saying whatever came to mind. "I got lost."

"Well, let me show you," the teacher said before taking JJ to English class.
