Me and my new friends headed to Inkopolis square right after school.

Everyone was worried about Octillian.

"What happened?" Pyra asked?

"It's the teachers..." I said my voice drifting off in the wind.

"That's expected." Pencis said with a sigh.

"A lot of Adults have strange dislikes towards Octolings." Pencis said.

We tried to cool off by playing some Turf Wars that seemed to do the trick.

Pencis was a roller girl. She used the Kraken Splat Roller and was pretty good at it. She seemed to be the aggressive type, pushing in to attack the enemies and making room for us to ink the ground.

Pyra seemed to be on of the those edgy sniper kids with a modified splatterscope that was Bolt Action and seemed to be really useful in ranked battles. He seemed to have an 'ink saber' as they called it. Which was basically a sub on certain weapons which had a line of ink coming from the under barrel of the gun which would vanish upon contact with an opponent.

Octillian was a Dualy girl and used a modified version of them. She put them with 3x increased roll distance but she could only roll once.

"This is your host Judd!" He declared.

"Quick overview of the rules. 1. no taking enemies weapons. 2. If you do participate in physical combat no grabbing an enemies throat or anything that will take a long time to splat the enemy. 3. If your ink tank is damage jump off the map so it will get repaired.

3…

2…

1..!"

We were playing on Moray Towers.

I decided to try to spend more time covering ground this round.

I went around the Towers and went face to face with an enemy.

I quickly splatted him and swimmed up one of the towers.

I got splatted by an enemy who used his splashdown who also managed to take out Pinces in the process.

"Your pretty good!" Pencis told me over the communicator.

"Nooo I'm not good at all!" I said then splatted 2 players the enemy team.

"And you jinxed yourself!" Pencis said laughing. I felt my face warm up as she said that.

After the match I figured out that we had won and leveled up to rank 9.

'Just one more level up and I can play ranked battles!' I thought.

We played Turf War for a little while then decided some food from Crusty Seans food truck will be nice.

We had some toasted seanwhiches for dinner and went to the Shole to play some games.

"Something you might not have known about me is that I am a GOD at arcade games!" Pyra announcement being very proud of himself.

I rolled my eyes and played some game in the arcade.

It was a game where you had a splattershot and you had to shoot at Salmon.

About 3 minutes into the game Octillian put a coin and played with me.

"A-are you okay?" I asked.

"What?"

"You know...about what happened in school." I said.

She frowned a bit.

"I-I'm okay...just I'm sure our History teacher just had a bad day." She tried to reassure herself.

For some reason I highly doubted that.

"Y-yeah I'm sure that was it." I lied.

We were out of the arcade in 30 minutes.

I looked at my phone.

"It's 6:20 think we should head home?" I asked.

"Yeah, we probably should..." Pencis said.

20 minutes later…

"We live in the same apartment building?!" I said shockingly.

"Actually...a lot of kids in our school live here. It's cheap, has the most rooms in Inkopolis, and it has amazing food!" Pyra explained.

We signed into the main office and went into the elavator.

And conveniently we all had a room next to each other.

Before I was about to walk into my apartment Octillian gave me 'the look'.

My face instantly turned red.

She gave me a big smile when she saw my blush.

I went into my apartment and looked out the window.

"Night in Inkopolis. Beautiful as always." I said out loud.

I sat down on my bed and decided to watch TV.

"Ya'll know what time it is!" Pearl said in her little chair.

"It's Inkopolis news time!" Marina exclaimed.

"So we have some big news for you squid kids today!" Pearl said touching a button on her chair.

"The next splatfest in gonna be the first where we will have multiple people perform!" Marina exclaimed and pressed a button showing one of the many people performing.

"So we know ya'll love him and we are going to have Squid World performing tomorrow night!" Pearl said and Marina looked extra exicted."

"Also, for 3 hours we are going to have 8 vs 8 Turf Wars just to see how chaotic it can be!"

"We got more big news for ya'll Squid Kids!" Pearl said jumping out of her chair.

"We are going to be performing in schools in a month!"

Marina pressed a button and showed a screen of the schools that were going to be involved.

'Zapy middle school,Tenkatak High School,' "INKBLOT HIGHSCHOOL!" I almost screamed out loud.

Off The Hook is going to be performing in my new school!

'This is gonna be Pyra's big day to meet Marina!' I thought as I remember Pyra telling me how much he loved Marina and listened to her singles more that the Off The Hook songs.

Within the next minute I got a call from Pyra.

He went of fanboying about how Off The Hook is going to perform in our school.

I was pretty excited as I've been listening to them even before I loved to Inkopolis.

I watched the news for the next 3 hours. Mainly just about singers new songs, new stages that were going to be in Turf Wars, some more bones of those extinct 'humans' as the scientists called them.

I fell asleep though…

Tuesday…

I woke up at 6:20 and actually had time to eat breakfast, get dressed, brush my fangs, etc

I got on the bus and sat next to Pyra.

He was still looking super excited about Off The Hook.

"Soooo how do you feel?" I asked him sarcastically.

"You already know!" He said trying to contain his excitement

The bus ride to school felt long even though it was only 15 minutes.

30 minutes later…

7:20

period 2 Math.

"Alright class!" The teacher shouted.

"Who can answer 3x + 2x?"

Octillian raised her hand and she was called on.

"75!" She answered.

"Good, for an Octarian." I couldn't tell if that was an insult or a compliment. By the look on Octillians face she couldn't either.

The rest of the class was us answering questions that the teacher asked us. Boring…

After class it was locker break. I went to get my lunch money when I spotted something strange.

It was the wall next to my locker which was on the very end the locker line but it was werid.

It seemed to have an almost invisible outline.

I went up to it and touched it with my index finger.

It pushed back right when I touched it.

I looked around and no one was in the hallway. I was shocked, I just unlocked a secret door in a school!

I stepped through and it looked like a janitor's closet but it seemed to have newspapers on the desk.

I looked for a few of them and their dates were old. Some dating back to 12987.

One particular newspaper caught my eye. Killer in Inkblot High School!

I looked at the date 12997.

I read the first page my body shaking.

'Inkblot High School was suddenly attacked by an Inkling with a Splattershot JR. The killers name was Fredink Squidpendiz.' My eyes bulged open.

' is related to him?!' I thought.

'His sister, Anna Squidpendiz was said to have waited for him in the lobby and as he attacked people she just walked to class and acted like it was a normal day. Even sitting at her desk as students were huddled in the corner and asked her teacher for her homework. When the dust settled she came out of the school unharmed and returned home like nothing happened. Some people reported that the only people who were killed were ones that felt the Octarian's being locked underground ones who felt even a little sympathy for them.' I heard the bell for 4th period and quickly took the newspaper and shoved it in my pocket.
