Around eight hours and twenty minutes later the plane landed in Prague. Then they walked all the way from the airport to the hotel, by the time they made it to the door, everyone was tired and sweaty from walking so far. Mr. Harrington opened the door and everyone started to step through.

The hotel was less than impressive. Random pieces of furniture laid strewn around the lobby, a table was flipped over along with a couple of chairs. Paint peeled off the walls, and some of the floorboards were coming loose. "So this is happening." (Y/N) said quietly. She nodded to no one in particular, taking in the sights around her.

"What's wrong (Y/N)? Are you too used to five star hotels and private jets?" Someone asked. (Y/N) couldn't see who it was so she gave the finger to the rest of the group for good measure.

"Alright everyone go find your rooms, we don't have anything planned for the rest of the day but we're meeting back here at five for dinner."

Five minutes later, (Y/N) was spread out starfish style on one of the beds in her and MJ's shared room. The room was fine, a couple of peeling paint spots and the window didn't close all the way but otherwise it was fine. The only thing was that it was severely lacking in a roommate. MJ was nowhere to be found. (Y/N) rolled over and grabbed her glasses off the table. "FRIDAY show me the surround view."

"Yes, Ms, Stark."

Suddenly (Y/N) could see all the text messages coming from the phones of everyone who was in the hotel, including the teachers and the employees. Some of it was embarrassing (someone she'd rather not say was looking up some explicit things on an incognito window), and some of it was just boring (Betty and Ned were texting each other I love yous even though their rooms were next to each other). (Y/N) didn't make a habit of looking at her classmates phones, or anyone's phones for that matter on an account of it being an invasion of privacy or whatever but she was looking for something in particular.

"There you are." She clicked her tongue when MJ's phone popped up onto the screen. She was looking at a CNN article, and a closer look showed that it was an article about (Y/N). (Y/N) sighed and took off the glasses, wondering why she would be looking at something like that. "That is very ominous and I do not like it." She said out loud to no one in particular.

"What's ominous?" MJ said as she entered the room. "The fact that the window doesn't open all the way, leaving us unable to escape if this whole place catches fire?"

"No?" (Y/N) raised an eyebrow, "But now that you mention it, your kind of right." She looked towards the window.

"What else is ominous then?"

"Nothing, nothing." She sat up and hung her feet over the bed as MJ put her suitcase on the ground, "What's up with you?"

"Nothing." The other girl replied.

"Cool, cool." (Y/N) nodded, "Europe, you know pretty cool, pretty cool."

"Yep."

"Summer vacation is also pretty cool, I mean not literally obviously because its super hot but also cool."

"Why are you acting so weird?" MJ asked her, turning around and sitting on her bed. "You've said cool like twenty times in the last ten seconds."

"I'm not acting weird." (Y/N) shrugged. "I'm being myself."

"Okay so you want to talk about this."

"Yeah kinda." (Y/N) said, "I mean everything happened and then you didn't call and I know that there was stuff going on, but then I got outed and you were just kind of distant all year and your being distant now. I just want to know what your thinking."
