Where should we start?

I see Jordan and I see January "How your music lessons with Mali is going?" he asks her "Good. She's good. But she's also very mad person, if she can't play something she can break the piano." She laughs easily "January" Jordan says and looks into her eyes "What?" only I know how much he waited for this moment, he gets closer and his lips kissing hers. When her lips get far from his she smiles "I need to go to practice" she says and wakes up, when she passes me I hope that she can't see me, if she was, it could be very embarrassing. Especially because I just stared at them when they kissed. I had lucky that Nash and I were out of school so he couldnt spy after us.

"Hey man!" I say to Jordan, he smiles "Of course you were here, what have I thought that you wouldnt?" he chuckles "I almost couldnt make it" I say and his face shows that he's worried "I crashed into Jacob" I admit "How was it?" "Weird, it's like he got crazier after I broke up from him like he's obsessed with me or something." "This whole place is crazy, even you and me. We both very crazy" he says "Wow, talk for yourself." I say and act like I'm Amber, who thinks that she's the queen.

"I want to talk to Marian," he says "I want to know what happened to my mother." "Let's go then." I say and wake up.

"Are you ready?" I ask "I hope so; I have to do it anyways." He says. I open the door and I see her, sitting on the chair, she looks so tired like she haven't slept for years "Hello kids. Play time?" She asks "If you want to call it that way so yes, its play time." Jordan says, this time I'll let him speak "What you've done to my mother?" He asks unemotional "Nothing. I already told it to your friend over there and to her boyfriend and to Mali and to everyone on this earth!" "Why should I believe to a liar?! You have always hated me and Skyler! And then you're surprise that we kidnapped you" "I wasnt surprised; I knew it would happen, I just haven't thought that you'll win. But to win me? It's nothing for Cassandra! She doesn't give a damn on me." I swear that I have never seen an old woman talking like it, she got guts. Nash knocks on the door "Come outside, both of you." He says.

"What?" Jordan asks "Since Marian is gone for a long time; they have brought a new principal. She wants to talk to us. Now." He says and starts to walk, like talking to this principal is everything right now. Like we don't have other important stuff to take care of.

"Hey, to Nash, Mali, Jordan, and dear Skyler, sit down please." She looks at the empty chairs. I sit down at some chair and say "We haven't done anything." With guts, so she would believe me "I believe that none of you had any part of her disappearing. I'm here because of other business. What you're searching for." "We're not searching anything" I say "Dear Skyler, no need to lie. You forgot that I learned here. Since then weird things happened here" she says, now I truly feel like she knows everything. "Tell me what's going on here; I swear that I'm here to help you."

"Should we trust her?" I whisper to Nash "Wait" he says and look at her "Why should we trust you" "Because you're only 16, I'm much older, and you need help, Nash won't be able to keep on teaching you techniques to fight, you need a good teacher, not a 16 years old boy. I want to help you." Nash looks at me, I can see on his face that he is not sure what he thinks about it "Why you want to help us? And why you're here?" He asks "I want to help you because I know things about you're past that you don't. And I also know what you're searching" "Really? So, what are we searching?" Mal is asking "Why Skyler's mother is dead" she says, with no doubt "How can we know that you are not against us?" Jordan asks "You won't,"

"With the time you will trust me. And the answer for your second question Nash, I care about this school, when I heard about Marian I took a flight to here" "Can you tell us things about you?" I ask, she looks at me and smile "Of course. I learned here with my best friend Harper. We were in your age when we started to learn here. Marian was my principal. She was a lot o time until Skyler's parents bought this place. To learn here was amazing experience. The teachers were good. I'm good at art and photograph" she says and look at big picture behind us "I loved this picture since ever" she smiles "That's me. I have question, would you die to save to save the world?" I look at her "Yes" I say first then Nash after me and then Jordan and Mali "Great. Let's save the world. First, you all have to go to school. Everyone already think that it's weird" "I also have to go?" I ask "Yes darling, you are not different from anyone else" she says "Once again, why you really want to help us?" Tom asks "I want justice, just like you, I want to save this school. I'm in or not?" She's asking. I look at Tom's face, he nods to me, and so does the others "You're in." I say and smile.
