Ura sat at the back with Rekka, they chatted together, exchanging science facts and trying to test each other.

Ilma and Jamie were in the the middle, chatting away. Ignoring all the burning stares of the bullies earlier on. 

Terra was sitting at the front, still cringing at his stomach pain.

The teacher, Mr Jones had been waffling away about the upcoming science test. He would occasionally hiss at Ura and Ilma. He'd already done an experiment and was silently angry about Gayln. After all, he was his tutor, he had warned him multiple times.

Suddenly, the door opened and banged to the side. Everyone's gaze hit Gayln and the majority of the class sighed. 

But Ura, Ilma and Terra suddenly got the shivers. It hit them hard, they really started to shiver, Gayln was also shaking. Their eyes met and they felt a hot burning sensation. 

"Nice to finally see you Gayln. What is this, your first ever class?" Mr Jones hissed. He'd ignored Gayln's suddenly paled face and glared at him.

"Find a seat. Next to.." He glazed around the class room, he noticed the empty seats in the middle and ignored them. He wanted to watch the troublesome Gayln. He then noticed the best seat.

"Ah, next to Terra... The boy at the front... The boy next to the empty seat!" He groaned. He suddenly noticed Terra's pale face and the look he'd given Gayln.

Terra's gaze was locked onto Gayln, as were Ura and Ilma's. It was like their gaze had automatically locked onto him as he'd entered the room. Gayln was staring right back at Terra, he suddenly began to feel the burning sensation of people staring. He looked straight at Ura and Ilma. All four of their mouths were hanging open.

"Gayln, please be seated," Mr Jones said worriedly, he'd noticed all the staring students, but his eyes locked onto Ilma and Ura. He knew something was wrong. 

 "Gayln, do you need to go to the nurse?" He began, he was going to ask the others before he was cut off.

"No sir, I'm fine," Gayln announced, then he sat beside Terra, who had quickly began staring at the desk. 

"Ok then, right. Back to the periodic table,"  Mr Jones began. Unaware of the four students staring at one another.
