Chapter 4

“Hi, my name is Emeline.”

Of course I, ever the gentlemen, stood there staring at the girl with my mouth hanging open. Who wouldn’t when you see a girl who looks like she just came back from a makeover with a goddess?
“Hi. I’m Alex and I have an important question.”

“What?”

“ Do you always glow?”

“What are you talking about you blathering idiot! She isn’t glowing.” Said Mr. Lucifer.

He actually didn’t say it but he can communicate with other people through their minds. That’s the little devil’s EXO. He’ll use it when you talk to other people to see what you are actually thinking. It’s easy to get round though. His mind is like a force that can enter your own consciousness and learn all of your dirty secrets. He usually only goes for your thoughts because it takes a lot more energy to see the person’s past, fears, and memories. It’s also useful for interrogations. My many detentions can prove that.

“ Ummmmm. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t glow.” Emeline said
“Sorry. Working with blowtorches and other very dangerous and bright tools makes you think that everything is glowing.” I replied.
“Nice save Alex. You just saved yourself from 1 week of Mephoria.”
Mephoria is what they use to keep students in check. Mr. L searches your memory for your worst fears then shoves you into a Holo-Room where it makes holographic images of that fear. I swear its the worst thing that can happen to you. People have tried to commit suicide after only 5 minutes in there.
“No! Not Mephoria.” I scream out loud.
“Um. Are you okay... Alex.” Emeline says.
“ Yeah sorry. I guess gas fumes kinda mess you up a little. I’ll see the nurse after your tour.”
“Great. Lets get going.”
“Okay.The first stop on Alex’s Amazing Grand Tour is the building right in front of you. This is Home Building. It has your rooms and the cafeteria in it. The boy’s dorms are on the right and the girl’s dorms are on the left. The cafeteria is straight through these doors in the center. Our cafeteria is state-of-the-art. It is actually more like a restaurant than a regular high school cafeteria. You don’t have to eat here but it is recommended for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is recommended at the park.”
“Wow. This room is bigger than my whole school.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. My school wasn’t the biggest but it was nice.”
“Well our school is huge. It is floating in the sky so we have lots of space.”
“It’s in the sky? I don’t remember flying to get here.”
“Well I hope not. I didn’t make a teleporter that isn’t meant to be used.”
“You made a teleporter?”
“Yeah. I made it when i had a power surge.”
“What’s a power surge?”
“I’m not exactly sure but I do know that our first class tomorrow will be on power surges.”

“Oh. Good. I have no idea about anything that has to do with EXOs. All i know is that I have one and that I know how to use it.”

“Your lucky. I didn’t even know what my EXO was when i got here. Well, until I picked up a hammer.”

This whole conversation was taking place while we were walking towards the Academic Plaza.

“Um Alex.”

“Yes?”

“What is this place?”

“Oh. I’m sorry I got a little sidetracked during our conversation.This is the Academic Plaza. It contains all of the classrooms and other learning facilities not including the GreenHouse, the Pool, and the Sports Arena.”
“Cool. If it’s such a big campus then how do people get around to the different areas?”

“You get used to it. That’s why our Gym class is learning how to use our powers for wars.”

“We do have a work-out area right?”

“Yes. It’s located in the Park. The school is split up in three sections. The Park, The Academic Plaza, and The Home Area. The Park contains many recreational areas such as an area completely dedicated to art and a music hall. It also is where our many sports teams practice and compete.”

“Cool. Are we going there next?”

“Yes. I hate the Academic Plaza. It’s so learney-ey.”

“Learney-ey? That’s not a word.”

“It is now. Now come on let me show you my favorite part of the campus. The Garage.”
