'The next morning ran as smooth as an enchanted school morning could run."

'In other words it was kind of crazy morning.'

'There was another kidnapping yesterday, a girl this time from Silver Town. just in the grade above me no big scene this time. Just disappeared without a trace. If you can imagine half of the kid's where gone off to the Cliffside's School to argue. Yet without a doubt, would end up being no where closer to finding out where she is, or who took her if they had all just stayed in school.'

'At first, it was me and the silver detectives together along with a with other kids, but as school went on and they all slowly one, by one decided to leave. Finding no point in going to school if the teachers aren't going to teach anything without the rest of the class. I would have left too but I decided to stay to catch up on anything I might have missed.'

'My last class hour was Magics and I was the only one that showed up to class.'

"Well, I don't see a point in teaching anything if theirs only one student in the class." Said Alex after a few minutes of waiting.

"Why didn't you go home like the rest of kids?" He asked.

"I wasn't sure if the class was going to stay out and miss a whole day of school or not." I said.

"The schools are probably all done yelling at each other by now, but it's also just the last hour of class if you miss the whole day then there's not really a reason to go back to the last hour." He said.   

"Can we just talk then?" I asked.

"I don't see why not. We don't have much else to do. What do you want to talk about?" He asked opening a Diet Coke.

"It's just that I have a few questions about the people from all the kingdoms. It's about their moral standards."I say. And He looked at me very curiously while he took out a subway sandwich, and taking a bite.

"Sorry. I missed lunch and I am trying to catch up, What is it that doesn't make sense?" He says with his mouth full.

"Before I found out about magic..." He cut me off.

"Before?" he said taking a swift drink of Diet Coke before continuing.

"You mean you didn't know about magic?" I stopped and just stared.

'I realized at that moment that I hadn't told him about that little detail yet.'

("Nice going." Said Midnight.)

"Not until a week after I moved," I said quietly criticizing in myself for speaking before thinking.

"Really? Well, that makes more sense on why you have questions." He scowled in thought and went on to say.

"But really the way most humans act is almost insufferable. Not even bothering to teach young people that there's more to our galaxy than just technology and planets is wrong." He said.

"Why don't they tell the truth?" I ask him.

"That's the problem not everyone wants to hear the truth. And so when something happens they change rather important details to fit their insecurities and it changes the up the whole story entirely. You see with a human everything has to have a reason. Has to have an explanation it's just so hard for them to believe that one second a person is near death and the next second, it seems like they couldn't be better and it just have no explanation." He says and went on to eat his sandwich while I pondered in thought.

"So your saying is that they just throw away the whole subject simply because it can't be explained," I say thinking about this.

"Precisely. Magic is the one thing that bothers's scientists most because it's just not something you can explain it's almost like a feeling but it's not. As vague as that sounded that is as accurate as it gets. Really the only way you know it's there is if you experience the feeling yourself." He said has brush crumbs off his shirt right on to the floor.
