Chapter 3!

I'm so sorry it took a bit longer before you heard of me but as you may know I didn't have WIFI for a while due to circumstances but I do now and I can go back to writing and updating so normally you shouldn't have to wait two to three weeks before I update.

Anyway, last chapter's big reveal! What did you think of it?

Lucifer being Lucinda's best friend?

Cam and Lucinda knowing each other before they got to SwordCross?

Lucinda possibly knowing more than everyone thinks?

I'll let you think about that and let me know what you think.

Enjoy this chapter!

I stared in shock to the image in front of me. My love, my Luce, was hugging Lucifer Morningstar- the Devil himself. And she did it willingly. By the look on Cam's face I know he knows something I don't, but what? Also Gabbe was acting weirdly, not at all fazed by what's happening right next to her. Actually, if it hadn't been for her Luce wouldn't have known Lucifer was in this room because she was too busy with Cam.

I tore my gaze away from them and looked at the group again, recognizing them all except for one and another I don't get how she still is alive. She was supposed to be dead.

Mazikeen Keeper was standing by the door, staring at the two friends. She hadn't changed a bit, she still used her curves and femininity to her advantage by showing it off. Don't get me wrong, she is quite beautiful. If it wasn't for the fact that I had Luce and she was a demon I definitely would have tried something, because I am stuck in a teenaged boy's body. Everytime I saw her throughout History she always found a way to show off her curves. She always loved corsets and now she wore deep and revealing tops and blouses along with ripped jeans. I've seen her around in an attire such as that but with a skirt and also with shorts.

Next to her was an old friend of mine, Amandiel. He was always a nice guy, rational as well. He would always be the one to think straight and get others to do the same. He was a big guy, broad shoulder and tall. By the close aproximity to Mazikeen I believed they were together or at least more than just friends. I always trusted his judgement but now I'm starting to doubt it. He was always so smart in his decisions that I had to wonder whether or not this was a mistake or not.

"Tess..." Arriane breathed and I immediately looked at the red head.

She was supposed to be dead. Two persons I thought to be dead were actually alive. How?

I had to admit, she looked good. Great in fact. Healthy yet she didn't look happy. Her eyes used to hold a spark when she was together with Arriane, yet they were void of anything. Until... she saw Lucinda. A huge smile appeared on her face, as she strode forward and pulled Luce out of Lucifer's arms.

"You don't get to hog her all day long, I want a turn as well." She said, pulling her in for a hug. "Devil, I've missed you."

I could see both Luce and Lucifer roll their eyes when she said 'Devil' instead of 'God'. Well, at least she had half a mind not to mutter His name. He'd be pissed.

Yes, God can be pissed. Hence the Fall.

As I tore my eyes away from that little reunion, I let my eyes travel back to the group that was still talking to some teacher and rested them on Kameal. He used to be my best friend before the Fall. We used to do almost everything together. Of course we weren't as good friends as Samuel and I were but we were pretty close.

Samuel, another guy I saw in the crowd but not in their group. He seemed distant and looked at them with distaste clear in his eyes. He never used to harbour bad feelings for anyone but I guess time changes everyone, including those truly good at heart like Sam.

Back in their little group I also saw Roland's lost love, Rosaline. She was human, she should have died years ago... how was she here? How was she still alive or alive again. I knew she didn't reincarnate, that just wasn't possible. We'd have known or at least Gabbe would have. If she had known, she would have told Roland because demon or not, he was still one of my best friends. One of our best friends.

From the look on her face I could tell that she was just as clueless as I was.

One glance at Roland told me he was remembering everything from their time together. He wanted to go to her, I had no idea what he would do which is why I placed my hand on his back, keeping him from getting up and going to her.

My eyes travelled over their group. Lucifer and Tess with Lucinda and Cam in front of me. Maze, Kameal and Amandiel were at the back still talking to the teacher with Lilith and three other guys I vaguely recognized.

Jev and Rixon stood together as always. Even in heaven they used to be super tight, always together. They were from the same rank, not very high up but not as low as most outcast these days. Jev chose to stay on His side but Rixon chose otherwise, though it seemed that didn't affect their friendship.

Castiel stood between Maze and Kameal, listening to the teacher intently while letting his eyes stray to us every few moments. He had always been close to Lucinda, the two had been as close as siblings. Closer even, too close to ever consider a relationship. They were... too close, as I already stated.

I was distracted yet again by her voice as she talked to the one guy I hated with a true passion. "So, what's going on? I didn't think you would come."

"We didn't have a choice, first of all." He said with a shrug. "But even if we weren't forced we would still come, I- we- wanted to see you again. You and Cam."

Slowly other students from Sword&Cross started trickling in. Soon enough, we heard the sound of a throat clearing from the stage. Turning around, I could see Miss Sophia standing on stage behind the microphone.

"If all the students could find their seats, please." She requested. "Now, welcome everyone!"

Silent murmurs were heard throughout the room, not caring about the glare they received from not only Miss Sophia but also other teachers- including those of the visiting school.

"Now, I would appreciate it if everyone would kindly shut up." She said more firmly. Soon the sounds died down and the aula was completely silent. "As I was trying to say, I want to welcome you all to this new and exciting adventure we are taking you on." Two snorts were heard behind me. "We have invited the local High School of Thrunderbolt to spend an entire week with us so they could experience this side of those gates as well."

An unknown teacher stepped forward, probably one from the other school. "Hello everyone, I want to thank all of my students for working with us so efficiently and willingly-"

"Willingly my ass!" The voice I recognized to be Kameal's yelled.

The teacher ignored the comment and just went on with her speech. "It is greatly appreciated by us all. For the students from Sword&Cross, I will start by introducing myself- I'm Mrs. Guerrera and the Religious Education teacher. I have taught the course for the past 8 years and I have always worked with this system where I allowed my students to teach classes nearing the end of a trimester or even in the beginning of one- that is my way of taking oral exams from them."

Snickers were heard throughout the aula by multiple students but I felt like I couldn't follow. Why was there any reason to giggle or laugh?

"Anyway, I hear that you get taught a very different course from what I teach my students- that isn't necessarily bad. We want to provide you with two examples though. How I teach my class and how you get taught a class. Miss Sophia will start with her lecture about the most recent subject."

Yet again Miss Sophia took the microphone and started talking about Religion and boring subjects. It only lasted 20 minutes but it felt like 20 hours because of how boring it is.

"Now, that was all." She ended and a collective sigh of relief was heard. "Mrs. Guerrera?"

"You talked about how Heaven is perfect, I'm going to go against that... Well, two of my students are. These two have been best friends ever since I could remember and the past 3 years they've been asking to teach this class so I'm going to give them that hon-"

"Yes!" A voice behind me yelled.

We all turned around and saw Luce standing up with glee all over her face and her fists in the air. It was clear she was one of the students.
