My eyes met hers immediately, before I asked the question that has been on my mind for the past few weeks. "How do you know my real name?". 
It was in that exact moment that Mario took a threatening step towards me and Victor who had been serious this entire time stood up from our table and placed his body between Mario and I.
"Why don't you take a step back Mario", Vic glared at him, well I think he was glaring I couldn't exactly see his expression from where I was still seated.
"What's going on?", Celeste whispered from beside me.
All I could do was shrug. 
What was going on?
Before I could respond to Mario's earlier allegations the sound of static from the speakers over head interrupted the entire room.
"Ferdinand Solace, Ferdinand Solace please report to the principals office now", a scraggly voice I assumed was the woman at the front desk said.
Those words seemed to douse Mario's temper more and he lunged at me but luckily Victor's unmoving stature was dependable. This time.
"I'll ruin you nerd", Mario spat at me. "I swear to God Solace if my brother gets expelled I'll make sure you never show your face here again".
It was the way that he'd said  my name that definitely got my attention.
It was a threat, plain and simple.
My face paled much at his words. Was he finally going to use my secret against me? 
His eye were determined and for the first time I was honestly afraid of what Mario would do.
