Emilia stood at the edge of the side walk. Her family had dropped her there about two minutes ago and yet she hasn't moved. How long have I been standing here? I wish I could tell her but since we are observers, I can only tell you it's been two minutes. Now look at Emilia clench her fists. Her snow-pale hands are becoming pinker than her nose. Her bobcut black hair alone swayed due to the wind. I have never seen anyone survive the predicament she is in. She stood at, let's see, 5'5" and I heard she's quite proud of it. She wore a gothic outfit consisting of a black baggy hoodie and grey sweatpants. She had dark green eyes and her black bags surrounding her. Horrible, embarrassing, and downright boring. She has been staring her ex boyfriend but I'm bored of this. You bored of this? You can't answer, we'll just leave.

Emilia was dropped off at Texcoco College, nothing to do with the Mexican lake. It was in a valley, completely surrounded by forests which sat on an elevation about 20 feet higher than the valley. The valley had a small pond in the south which let into a tiny stream to the ocean miles away. All of the trees were conifer allowing for many pinecones to scatter throughout the valley. Now the valley was treeless. It used to be a swampy grassland and now it's just grass. The valley is about 5 square miles but in the shape of an oval. The college built here is just a series of rectangular buildings, some longer than others and some more cubic. The largest were three stories tall. They were white marble and topped with red shingles most of the time.

There's one road that loops into the valley from the right of the stream. It dips in making a crescent on the campus. Then it comes back out on the other side of the stream, completely separated from the first road. They combine later on. At the top of road though, there was a motorcycle stalling by a tree. A man suddenly dashed out of a forest but came to a stop before the cycle. This person, Xiley, had brown ruffled hair and wore a large black duster jacket. It was quite long considering their 5'5" height. They had to carefully sit on the bike so the jacket did not get caught on anything. Their fingerless gloves tightly wrapped around the handles. If they just found this bike though, why was the engine already turned on?

Xiley removed an earpiece from an ear and placed it in their jacket pocket. Then he reached into another pocket and took out a metal piece which could be unfolded into a helmet. He placed this one their head. He heard heavy footsteps approach. Jumping out of the woods were three men in full black battle suits. They shouted, "Get him!"

Xiley smiled at the mirror, showing them their flashing teeth. Then he accelerated onto the road. He should have checked, there was another student just arriving to campus in a high standing jeep. The Jeep collided into Xiley and their bike. It hit him so hard he rose into the air, their cycle spinning round and round. "What an idiot," the jeep driver said to their bros in the other seats. They laughed it off and cheered as a banging song came onto the radio. Turning upon the radio, their music invaded the valley.

High in the air, Xiley tried to find a balance. He would meteor towards the earth regardless of their efforts. One of the three men took out a rocket launcher and fired it at Xiley's back. Boom! Xiley was currently fine but their bike was destroyed. In the next minute, he bounced off the roof of the jeep and then rolled on the ground. This finally took Emilia out of her freeze. She shuddered as her body replayed the fact that Xiley smashed the ground with great speed. She turned around to the Jeep which had its doors slammed open by the boys inside. Five boys stomped over her to make their way to Xiley. The driver, Tyson, picked Xiley up by the duster.

"Fuckface, what the fuck is your problem with my car?"

They were all athletes considering their size and body shape. The black one, Jerry, picked up Emilia by her hoodie. Jerry had short curly hair and a fit build. "Damn, idiot, get out of the way when we're coming by."
