The lunch line was long at St. Caldwell Rockwood High School in New York, New York, but I was in front, so I got my lunch first. A highschooler, a 16 year old, and star of the girl's football team, you would think that I, Tia Locksmith, would be at least be straight. No. I'm lesbian, but my sisters are pansexual. I'm a triplet, by the way.
A man runs up to us. I ignore and sit with my sisters, Rona and Raven, and my girlfriend Georgina. I eat some corn before I drink some strawberry milk and eat some of my chicken fries and peas. Then I suddenly had to go to the bathroom, so I excused myself.
After I had peed and washed my hands, everything went dark. Dammit. A school blackout. "I...I.....I!" Somehow I couldn't speak. My mind felt broken. "Wha.....wha.....WHA! T...'s! H-a..... h-a....HA! Pen...Pen! Ing...to...me.....?" I try my best to say before I blacked out.
I woke up in a white room with no windows and a black door. Or at least, that's what I think it is. My vision is blurry....I'm blind! Why am I blind!? " I see you have woken up. " I hear a deep voice. "One question: do you know the name Aquaumaura Clarksburg?" " I have a question for YOU. " I reply. "Why DID YOU FUCKING KIDNAP ME AND MADE ME BLIND!?" " I'll explain. " he says. Or at least I think it's a he? I'm not assuming genders here. "But first you have to answer my question: do you anyone named Aquaumaura Clarksburg?" " No. " I reply. I don't know if this is a coincidence, but as soon as I said that, my vision went back. "Now let me explain: My ex-wife abandoned our son when he was a baby at a London orphanage, so I was re-adopting him at the orphanage while my young assistant-" "Why would you need an assistant?" I said. " Well, you see...I'm.....a hypnotist. " he says. "Anyway back to the explanation: My young assistant Aquaumaura was buying beef jerky at the convince store next to the orphanage, when police cars drove in front of the store. Apparently the cashier was a rapist...of royal children. Somehow Aqua ran out of the store fast enough that the police couldn't catch her. And that was the last time I saw her. And you're helping me." " WHAT!? WHY ME!? " I say. " I hypnotized everyone in your school office to start fighting so I could get the records of everyone in the school. " he smirks. " And our of all the students, your a topper. " he says. "You're going to help me find Aquaumaura....with someone."
