Freddy kept stealing glances at me as I set up my new phone. I noticed from the side of my eye the way he kept giving me side glanced and turning back to the road. He wasn't even focused on driving, does the guy wants to get me killed?.
"What?" I eventually snapped turning to look at him.
He cleared his throat, stared at me for a brief second and resumed driving, "Nothing."
I sigh and averted my gaze back to the phone. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't retrieve my contacts but I'm not giving up yet. I needed to contact my aunt and cousin, they're literally the only family I have left, but I took comfort in knowing they could contact the school if they can't reach me.
"Everything Okay!" He asked.
"Yeah" I lied, "You brought me out to get a new phone and beat up your old enemy."
"Sorry about that" he huffed, his fist tightening around the steering wheels, "I'm sorry I lost my manners. Its just that Wulfric is such a Di... I mean idiot. And he gets on my nerves."
I rolled my eyes, "And tonight was the perfect time to get back at him for it."
"Look I'm sorry. It must have been weird for you seeing us fight like that. I'll make up for it, I promise."
"You don't have to. This already did!" I smiled at my new phone. It was a lot more better than the one Wulfric stepped on and Naomi spilled her water on by 'mistake'
"Nah nah. I'll still make up for it. I will. When you boarders are allowed the visit the city I'll come meet you. It'll be my treat for you."
"Oh yeah?. Is your girlfriend coming?" I said with a slight edge in my voice.
He went speechless, "uhn!" He cleared his throat unable to talk. I rolled my eyes, how could he think of giving me a treat when his girlfriend breaths down his neck and doesn't like me. I mean why did she spill her water on me?.
He drove us to school and stopped at the fence we jumped when going out, he jumped first to make sure it was safe and no security was patrolling. Then he made signal for me to jump too. Which I did perfectly.
He also escorted me down to the girls dorm to made sure I was safe. I waved goodbye at him before sneaking my way up to my room where all my three roommates were asleep in their compartment. I'll talk to Sadie tomorrow.

Very early the next morning, I got up to get ready for school, so I won't be getting detention for being late or run into a bullying freak. And also, so I could prepare my wig and clothes.
I heard a knock on the room door when I was halfway through my wig arrangement.
Maia or Naia went to get the door, "Oh good morning ma'am" I heard her say, "Oh lovely, just what we wanted."
As I picked up my cloths, I recall something!. I'm supposed to be in uniform. "Oh No!" I left my school uniform at school in my locker yesterday. Oh no!.
"Noooo!" I yelled, This can't be happening.
"Is everything okay?" I heard a knock on the door.
"Does anyone have a spare uniform I could borrow, I left mine in my locker at school" I said.
"Yes, I could lend you mine."
"Thank you. Maia or Naia." I cooed going to open the door.
"You're welcome. It's Maia."
"Same as Naia" I said.
"See my forehead?. Look closely. There's a little scare below my hairline that's barely visible until you strain your eyes a little bit. But that's how you know it's me."
I nodded even though I couldn't see a thing.
"So the uniform?."
"Right. Come with me."
I followed her and we went into the compartment where her bed was, there was four compartment with beds and reading table for all four of us, we only shared a living room, and a fridge yes that's how classy Prime academy is.
"What's that smell?" I asked as the delicious smell of food hit my nose.
"The Dorm keepers brought our breakfast already. We take breakfast and dinner here, while we have lunch at school. We left your breakfast in the refrigerator yesterday when you didn't wake up. Did you find it?."
"I guess someone will have to clean out the fridge" I said sarcastically.
"Have you seen your necklace?."
"No. I couldn't find it anywhere, I have to ask Sadie or whatever she's called" I stopped on my track and turned towards the forth compartment where Sadie slept and knocked.
"Who's.... who's there?" She stammered.
"A knight in shining armor" I said to myself but said out loud, "It's me Mel"
"What do you want?" She yelled.
I tried to open the door but it was locked, "Yesterday I found my stuffs in a mess and my necklace was missing. Have you seen a red pendant necklace anywhere?."
"N... no. Could be the cleaners when they cleaned out the trash you brought in!."
I gasped softly, oh geez she really is a bitch!. I punched the air pretending I was punching her.
"The only trash in this room is you!" I said and walked away. I had a feeling I would find the necklace no matter who.
"Here" Maia handed me her extra uniform hanging on an hanger as I went back to her compartment.
I took it and said, "Thank you." then headed back to my compartment to get changed.
After breakfast, I left the Dorm with Maia and Naia. We stepped into the early morning sun and I sigh touching my head lightly to feel my wig.
"We're going to take the PASM, Prime Academy School Movement."
"The what what?."
More explained, I think I was starting to recognize them now, she said, "Why walk around when you can use state of the art buggies..."
I stopped listening at Sadie passed by us very hurriedly she bumped into Maia.
"Hey watch it!" Maia snapped.
Sadie didn't look back to apologize, she just kept on walking. And that was when I noticed something hanging out of her Gray sweater vest.
The red pendant sparkled in the sun like it always did. My necklace!!.
"Wait!!!" I yelled running after her.
