We all met up at the front door of the school at the end of the day to walk home. The walk was silent, but as soon as we got through the doors, the fighting started.

"EVERYBODY STOP!" Sophie shrieked. Everyone mumbled apologies. 

"Soph-" I started.

"Wait. Before anyone says anything," She pulled out a blue pen with fluff on the top. "Whoever has the pen gets to talk. Everyone sit in a circle." She explained.

"Who starts?" Keefe asked.

"Fitz had something to say so he can start and then we'll go clockwise." She replied, passing me the pen.

"Ok, you're all going to think I'm crazy, but.....I think we should do this. I mean, they shut Soph out because they didn't think it was safe, but they probably took way less risks to get the Neverseen. I think there's something Mr. Forkle isn't telling us. I know I sound a lot like Keefe right now, but if we want to find out the real reason we got sent here, this could be our shot." I passed the pen to Sophie.

"I...agree. But I think it shouldn't just be me and Fitz going. If we want to pry information from Mr. Forkle, we are going to need another Telepath that we trust, and I don't think it can be Alden. So I think that means we have to start doing some training with Eve." She added. She passed the pen to the next person, Keefe.

"Since Fitz stole half my plan, and Foster-soon to be Sencen-stole the other half, I have nothing to say." Keefe said. Sophie seemed to catch what he said about the soon to be Sencen part, and so did the other girls, because there was a lot of squealing. Even though Keefe was only like 19 and Sophie was 18. 

"Wait-what? Can you back up a little?" Sophie asked over all the squealing. Keefe blushed realising his mistake.

"Yeah sure. Fitz stole half my plan and you stole the other half." Keefe said, avoiding the obvious mistake.

"Keefe, you have photographic memory." I reminded him. He glared at me, so I smiled back.

"OMG! THIS IS SO CUTE! KEEFE, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Biana asked, slaping him lightly on the shoulder.

"What are we talking about again?" Keefe asked.

"Trying to change the subject I see." I shot back with a smirk.

"Shut up Fitz!" He shouted. All of a sudden there was a pillow flying at my head. I ducked last second.

"Oh, IT IS SO ON!" I screamed. Soon, we were all at each other with pillows. As you can tell, pillow fights are pretty much a daily thing in this household. We were about 3 minutes in when I noticed Sophie was missing. Keefe seemed to notice too, because he froze, looking around the room. We locked eyes for a second and I nodded at him. I covered for him while he rushed upstairs to look for Sophie. I realised Biana was gone too. They were probably having a girl talk or something. Keefe came back.

"She's with Biana." He whispered as he ran past me to get a pillow. I smiled. Eventually, Biana and Marella started making dinner. They normally cooked since they wanted to open a restaurant together one day. Everyone continued the pillow fight for a bout half an hour before we were called for dinner. Soph and I set the table and everyone took their usual spots around the large circular table. It went Sophie, Keefe, Me, Marella, Linh, Wylie, Tam, Evangeline, Dex, and Biana. We all adapted these spots when Sophie spilled her coke and stained the wood. We ate, chatting with each other about things like work.

"Bi, didn't you say you had work after school?" Sophie asked.

"Yeah, they had to cancel the party for some reason, and my shift was given to Mason. He got back early from his trip or something and he wanted to come into work. I asked if he could take my shift since I knew you guys would want me to be here for your debate about what's going to happen." Biana explained.

"Oh. Speaking of that, do we all agree with the new plan?" Sophie asked. Everyone said yes and we finished our dinner. At the end of dinner everyone was looking at Keefe, except Sophie, who was in the kitchen getting water and some more food.

"What?" He whisper-hissed.

"Bro, we all know you're going to propose." I said matter-of-factly. 

"Ok...not today thought!" He whisper shouted. 

"Keefe just do it already!" Evangeline whisper shouted back. Evangeline and Keefe were very a like and were pretty close, so I don't doubt he told her before we found out.

"It's not the right time. She has stuff going on." He explained.

"Excuses, excuses. You have 1 week before I do it for you." Biana threatened.

"But-" He was cut off by Sophie walking into the room. We all went quiet.

"You guys are scaring me. What's going on?" She asked.

"We were just really full. How are you still eating?" Linh said, saving Keefe's butt. 

"My need for food is never ending." Sophie answered, shoving some sort of vegetable thing in her mouth. Once she finished, Keefe and Tam were on dish duty, which was mostly them bickering, while the rest of us washed up and watched T.V or YouTube. We normally went to sleep one by one, Sophie usually being last, but today we mostly went to sleep all together. Well except for Sophie and I.

"Soph?" I asked, looking up from the show we were watching. 

"Yeah?" She responded. I was lying down on the couch, while she was curled up in one of the big chairs.

"What do you think is going to happen?" I knew I could be honest with her. She probably had the same worries as me.

"I don't know Fitz. I... don't know."
