*super long chapter ENJOY!*

Once again, school.

It's weird. I love school. Don't get me wrong. Yet with everything that's been happening something is crashing in my mind. The only way I can actually describe it it's like Cognitive Dissonance. I know, I know, it's not the best thing to explain it but hear me out. 

I read it once in a Psychology book. It's when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs that cause a discomfort feeling in the person. And in my case, I love school. The Syllabuses and the tests but in real life, school is actually monotone, tedious, and way, way judgemental. So yeah, that's what I think early in the mornings...

Right now I'm in front of Peter's apartment door. He invited me to walk with him and Ned to school and me being me, a not so experienced teenager about street life, agreed.

"Don't forget it's laundry day and I need you to pick all those clothes from the floor" I hear May's disembodied voice inside the apartment, someone unlocks the door

"Oh hi, Tannie!" Peter smiles holding a pile of books in his arms, he peeks his head inside and shouts  "I larb you aunt May!"

I quirk a brow "I larb you?"

"Yeah, local joke" he snorts and we start walking to the lift

I stretch my arms at him "Need help?  it's a huge stack of books, you need a backpack"

"I'm fine thanks, though" we step into the lift "... I have lost five backpacks in two weeks..."

I snort and ignore his comment and grab three books from the pile "How was your weekend?"

He breathily laughs "I enjoyed it... I've been replying Ned's questions only with emojis" 

"Well, he's downstairs, you better start rehearsing..."

"Tannie..." he whispers making me turn to look at him

"Uhumm?"

"We need to do something about those guys. Something inside me is telling me that they're planning to do bad things"

I rub his arm making him look down at me "We will... We're going to investigate, ok?"

He purses his lips in a smile and the doors of the lift open revealing Ned that strides at us with heavy steps

"You promised me answers and I'm here to get some" I dart my eyes to Peter reading his eyes that shout 'there's no escaping from this one'

We begin walking to school. Peter in the middle and Ned at his left. After turning right and then left I turn to Ned and sigh.

"You should probably start asking now..." 

Ned chirps and walks faster "Ok, here I go. You have a laser on your hands? what happened to you? You were born like that? Oh my god, are you an alien?!"

"Ned!!!" Peter squeals at him with a frown in his face "She's not..."

I laugh and shake my head "I-I can't remember much but uh... I fell on a portal, entered to the Quantum Realm.  I don't think it's a laser and no... I want to believe I'm not an alien but... if you think about it... we all are aliens for other intelligent lives out there"

Ned 'awes' at my comment "So true..."

"We're actually experimenting with her powers, you should see what she's capable of, Ned" 

Ned jumps as he walks and chuckles "Give me a sneak peek!" 

"I'll better tell you... her powers manipulate things from an atomic level" Peter finishes smiling proudly at me
