Chapter 1

Carlos

Carlos looked over his balcony at his little half sister and his twin brother leaving for school with scorn.

"Mom works so hard just to see him and he doesn't even know she is alive, must be his fathers doing." Carlos thought to himself as he turned to enter his home-apartment, as he did everyday so to make sure he was never seen by his estranged family, so he could leave for school.

Carlos grabbed his sunglasses and backpack as he walked out of his apartment and towards the elevator doors. school has just started and the weather was still hot even in the mornings, but Carlos was falling behind his school already. This was mainly because Carlos worked nearly as much as his mother did so they could eat and live with just the bear-bone needs. Little to his mother's knowledge Carlos had been saving small bits of his money every chance he got so he could afford his prized tool. Carlos had saved for nearly a year to afford the Laptop he now owned, which was completely state of the art. Carlos spent all of he free time learning everything he could about all things computer related and in a short time be came a force to be feared among hackers. It was clear to Carlos the that his entire school was based off a weak server and he could "affect" it in many ways. The school his play ground.

"Thank god I got this laptop." Carlos said to himself as he stepped into the empty elevator smirking. He leaned against a wall after he hit the button for the ground floor smirking all the while. Carlos had no need to worry about getting late to his class as he could make it seem that he was not only passing all the classes he was taking but never late or missing any classes. needless to say Carlos arrived at his school just as the final bell rang. Carlos smiled as he strolled into his class a mere 45 seconds late just long enough for him to be counted tardy.

Carlos, a quiet student rarely made himself known to anyone in the school and thus his estranged family still was unaware of his even being alive. Just as Carlos' teachers in his first and second period classes for his 3rd year of high school. But he felt in his 3rd period class that his teacher really connected with her students, but then again many of the male students felt a connection with this teacher.

"Everyday this class seems to get shorter and shorter, she must be a great teacher for me to really pay attention, but I never remember anything she teaches. huh..." Carlos thought to himself as he walked out the classroom toward the lunch hall. As he passes an empty computer lab Carlos remembered that he had to print a paper for a class he intended to pass without the help of his laptop. Hoping that the door was open Carlos turned the doorknob and was rewarded with a unlocked computer lab. A smirk crossed his face as he thought about how bad this school was protected. In one fluid movement Carlos took out his laptop, turned it on and walked toward the printer located in the room.

"Just a few clicks of the mouse and... " Carlos often thought his steps out as he worked with his computer. "Now print, and wait."

The silent computer lab was peaceful for Carlos as he waited for his papers to print.

"Umm... are you allowed in this room?" a voice from behind Carlos asked in a meek yet confident tone.

"I'm just printing here then I'll get out of your hair and this room okay?"

"O'h I was just checking if we could be in here. I saw you and the light was off so i just assumed... "

"Its okay, I'm leaving anyway." Carlos got his laptop and started to shut it down as he reached for his prints. The person took a few steps toward a computer and a sudden screeching noise the pierced the ears of both people in the room and sent pain into their entire bodies. Carlos quickly but his items away and turned to leave the room wit his hand hold the small computer and the other holding one of his ears.

"Please! You gotta help me!" The persons voice now clearly a girls voices was filled with fear, as many would be at this random event on school grounds.

"Fine but tell me what you did!" Carlos rushed to the computer and a sudden white light engulfed both the girl and Carlos...
