          Whenever I pass by the school library, I always see the school's eccentric genius Erick pushing up his glasses whole reading a book.  He's a mysterious guy, that one, always writing in his big journal he calls "The Chaos Code" or something like that.  I've tried to figure out what exactly he writes in it, but he has some weird language he invented that everyone calls "The Chaos Code", probably because he calls his journal that.  He's impossible to read, nobody at school knows what he's thinking, and he tends to keep to himself.

          I don't know... it just seems like... he's always scheming.  Always plotting something that no human soul is capable of deciphering.  It's like that "Chaos Code" contains the hidden secrets of the world.  None of our classmates know what it's about or what it even contains, but they all have their theories.

          Take Ramón, he believes Erick's developing the cure for cancer using the book.  Jay thinks that Erick's an undercover agent of some top secret covert mission.  And Jammy says that the book is a code to a lost hidden treasure, while May proclaims it must be some sort of satanic ritual.  As for me, I think he's trying to conquer the planet, to be honest.  I mean the book IS called "Chaos Code", right?  He MUST be summoning an army from hell to take over the world.

          I don't know, the guy's an enigma, a complete mystery to me, and I doubt I'll ever learn the secrets of the Chaos Code.
