there’s a lot of toxic synthesized waste in these parts.”

“Then why are you here?” She asked avoiding my questions.

“I think I’ll ask the questions here. So you just need to answer them.” I demanded.

She smiled rudely.

“Now I’ll ask you one more time. Who are you and why are you following us; because if you’re here on Senya’s order then forget it little girl were not going anywhere with you nor will I give you the Chrysalis so - ”

She cut me off by laughing. “You’re so paranoid. Who am I? The names Zorra. Do I work for Senya? Hell no. But do I want the Chrysalis? Maybe , if I find it probable to my cause.”

Zane, Maya and I all looked at one another trying to figure out if this girl was for real or if we were just being punk’d. Neither of us said anything because we just didn’t know how to react.

“Cat got your tongue.” Zorra toyed.

“So you’re not with S.W.I.F.T?” Zane asked.

“Nope.”

“And you’re not buddies with that chick Senya, either right?” Maya asked.

“Nuh uh.”

“Ok. But you still haven’t answered why your hear Sorra.” I asked.

“It’s Zorra, with a Z. And the reason why I’m here is because I want in.”

“In what?” I asked curiously.

“I want in your little club because I also have a bone to pick with those S.W.I.F.T bastards.”

I hesitated at the language she was using. She was just so young. “Really? Why? Are you - ”

“I am. I am one of the four exclusives.”

“Exclusives?” I said puzzled.

“Yeah don’t you know?”

“Know what?” Maya asked curiously.

“That there are four kids that the headmaster chose to specifically become special experiments on level 4.” She went on to explain.

“I still don’t get it.” I said contemplating.

“Wait! I think I heard something about that. Sometimes Senya would talk about the Headmaster’s plans and she would mention that he was doing some kind of special research to make the world a better place. She said it was exclusive and that I was his prize. And only a few are accepted in taking on this honor. ” Zane recalled.

“What! Seriously! This dude is seriously one messed up fruit loop.” Maya added.

“I never knew what she meant by that. Only that I was special in some way. I just thought it meant he cared about making me happy again. I thought he just wanted to help me.” Zane continued.

“Ok Zorra so what does being exclusive mean exactly. What’s a level 4?” I asked awaited her response.

“A level 4 is a kid who was experimented on the 4th floor of the S.W.I.F.T. lab. It pretty much means that you have more special abilities than any of the experiments.”

“More special abilities? How do you even know all of this? How do we know that you’re not lying or if we could even trust you? For all we know you could just be one of their spies or something or even brainwashed.” I fired back out of panic.

“I can assure you that I am not one of their spies and you can trust me. I’ve escaped from S.W.I.F.T. months ago and ever since I’ve been keeping tabs on them. I’ve wanted to know who they are and why they wanted me. But while I was there I was able to recover my memories but I pretend that I had lost them for a while so I could gather information. Honestly at first I was so scared. But I knew I had to be strong if I wanted to get out of there.”

“On one of my visits when Senya came to get me for a checkup I stumbled upon a room on the 5th floor. I didn’t know it at the time but it was the headmaster’s office. I saw his computer and it was still on. It was also dumb luck that he just happened to be signed in. So when I looked at his computer I saw a bunch of files and documents. I ran through some of them but didn’t understand a thing then I saw a file labeled The Exclusives. I didn’t get a chance to read much because he came back but I overheard him and Senya talking about me. They said I was the perfect Exclusive candidate and that he was thinking about taking control of me full time. That’s when I knew I had to get out of there. So I did. And strangely enough they haven’t bothered me much. But Senya did come to see me face to face one time after I escaped. And all she said was she’ll get me when I was needed, so stay strong. Ever since I just have been trying to gather information while staying hidden.”

“Whoa. You went through all of that?” I asked wanting to just run over and hug her.

“Yeah, it’s ok now. But something has definitely stirred up at S.W.I.F.T headquarters.” Zorra continued.

“What do you mean?” Maya asked.

“What I mean is, because you have the Chrysalis. It really keeps the Headmaster powerless.”

“Really? This little crystal has the power to do all that.” I said in astonishment.

“Well, not quite powerless but I learned that the Chrysalis is the source of how we all got our powers.”

“Wait how do you know all three of us had powers. You’ve been keeping tabs on us or something.” Zane questioned.

“No but I have been following S.W.I.F.T’s movement for the last 2 weeks closely and I noticed that now you guys are all involved. Especially you Zane; I saw you freed all the other children there. I don’t know how you did it but you did those kids all a good favor.”

“I know. I just couldn’t escape myself knowing that there were other people there suffering.” He responded.

“But your efforts didn’t pay off too well because some of those kids were recaptured again.”

“No.”

“Yeah. They were. I saw it with my own eyes.”

A silence spewed over us while everyone processed the information that was being spit out left and right. I thought for a second about everything that was being said and wondered how smoothly this was all happening. First I meet Zane, then Maya and now another girl named Zorra. We met so conveniently, I feel like were either falling into a trap or this was fate asking us to bind together to form some sort of resistance team or something. I knew what had to be done.

“So you want to join, huh?” I asked Zorra. She just looked at me and smiled sweetly.

Chapter 2: ...Because I Have Too!

The day is pretty much over when Tylin rushes over to my locker talking non-stop about something big that happened today.

"And then she said, 'I can't believe you cheated on me with that bitch. I thought you loved me.' It was so crazy Chris. They were going at it for a long while; then the girl he was cheating with started to defend him after the girlfriend slapped him. Then, the girls started fighting, but the principal came and broke it up before anything interesting actually happen. Man I love this school. There's always something juicy going on. And to think I use to have a crush on that girl, Kara. I can't believe she was messing with another girl's boyfriend. Everyone thought she was so innocent. I wonder who else she's been with. Probably a lot of guys. You know it's always the goody-two-shoes you have to look out for."

I slam my locker shut after grabbing what I need and glare at Tylin. I didn't say anything to him about his misinformation. I simply walk away. The trio fight he's babbling about are the two girls and guy I saw earlier today at my locker. The couple who broke up and the girl, Kara, who tells her friends she isn't a virgin anymore.

"Where you going man? I was talking," Tylin shouts.

"Home."

"What? Since when are you in a rush to get home," he ask.

"Today's special."

Tylin runs up from behind me and stands in front of me halting me to stop.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's up man. Why are you giving me the cold shoulder?"

I allow him to stop me. "I'm not. I simply don't want to hear anymore of your nonsense." I walk around him.

"Nonsense? You mean about the fight? That's not nonsense. I saw it happen. I'm not some gossiping teenage girl, Chris."

Tylin follows me.

"I thought I told you my name is Christopher not Chris."

"Whoa. You always let me call you Chris. But you must be upset with me or something. You only tell me to call you Christopher when you're mad."

I stop walking and Tylin mimics.

"Before you go ahead and declare ultimate judgement on someone, you should know the full story first. Not everything is what it seems. The color in a photo can sometimes be distorted thus telling a lie." I walk away heading out the school doors.

"What?" Tylin ponders to himself for a brief second. He's thinking too literately about what I said.

He ran up to me again. "I really don't have any idea what you're talking about Chris. Umm, Christopher."

"I'm talking about what you said about Kara. She's not some easy lay or whatever."

"I'm sorry man. I didn't know you liked her. I -"

"No. You're not listening. "Kara isn't like that because she really did care about that guy. She was actually in love with him. I don't know much about her, but she truly is a nice girl. Practically an angel."

"I'm confused. Do you know her or don't you?"

"I guess you could say I don't. At least not personally. I have two classes and a free period with her. She talks with her friends around me a lot. I usually stay quiet. I've only actually spoken with her a few times, but I can tell that everything she does comes from a good place. I heard her whisper to her two friends this morning that she lost her virginity last night. Besides I know for a fact that that guy has been cheating on his girlfriend with more girls than just Kara. He's not very good with juggling woman."

Tylin rubs his head in thought. "Sorry man. I didn't mean to make you upset. I never actually talk to Kara before . She was just in my spanish class last year. I thought she was cute."

I smile. "You think every girl is cute, Tylin" I say walking away.

"I do not. There's just a lot of pretty girls at this school." He follows me to the bus stop.

A few minutes past and the school bus arrives. As I board, Tylin waves goodbye and shouts, "I'll call you." I hold up my hand and toss
