"Iglesias, Leo?" shouted the teacher "Here!" said a random voice

"Jameson, Kenny?" the teacher called out again.

"Here!"

"Jensen, Chloë?"

"Here,sir!"

"Lane, Shelby?" Shelby didn't hear him. "Miss Lane!"

A girl tapped Shelby on the shoulder.

"Oh, here sir." she said.

"Are you new here, Miss Lane?" asked the teacher.

"Yeah, I am."

"Well, welcome to Twinford High School. I'm your new homeroom teacher, Mr Post, and I hope you like this school. But don't think I'm going to pity you for being new."

"I didn't expect you to, sir." hit back Shelby.

"Miss Crew, please pay attention!" shouted Mr Post, staring at the back."

Meanwhile, in Ruby's class, she was having a conversation with Clancy.

"So this new girl is friends with my sister?" said Clancy. "What's she like?"

"I don't know but she's not bad. Did I happen to tell you that her dad died the same way the Count did, on the same night?"

"God, that's scary. And suspicious."

"We can't just suspect her right away, Clancy, she's only just came. Also we need to be really certain if she is related to the Count in some way."

"I suppose you're-"

"Mr Crew! Can you not rudely interrupt Mr Jupiter. He is trying to explain what he did for his project. Which you did not do by the way." screamed their teacher.

Clancy rolled his eyes and carried on talking.

At lunch, Ruby was sat with her friends and having a conversation.

"So you had fun on Saturday, didn't you?" said Del. "Well all of that's gotta go now cuz we have that basketball match next week Monday."

"And it's a big deal because…" said Mouse.

"Because it's the first match we've ever had in this school. It's important!"

"Either that or the fact Peter Chen told you he's coming to watch." chimed in Elliot.

"This isn't about him, Finch." said Del, annoyed at him. "Anyways, Redfort, i'm going to miss the first half because my mom's making me learn that father daughter dance for that quince she's throwing me, even though it's gonna be with a literal stranger."

"So who's gonna be your chamberlan?" asked Red.

"I haven't even thought about that. I don't get why I have to pick though. I didn't even ask for a quinceañera so why is my mom making me have one?" she moaned.

Ruby caught her eating her ninth large cookie. "Hey, that's enough cookies for you. You haven't even touched your pecan pie yet."

"Here, have it." she said, passing the plate to Ruby.

"No, you have it." Ruby said, passing it back.

Right after that, an alarm came and startled the school. It wasn't your typical fire alarm. It was something more. It was a school shooting alarm. Right after that, came Principal Robinson's voice. "Everybody, hide wherever you can, but stay in the room you are. Talking, screaming and any forms of sound is not required or necessary. Right now, the staff is unaware whether this is real or a drill. All we can ask for now is your patience."

In the meantime, Rachel and Shelby were locked in the girls toilets.

"Oh shit. We're stuck here!" cursed Rachel.

Shelby groaned. "Wait, where the fuck did Dantaya and Nathan go? They were literally with us five minutes ago."

"Maybe the shooter got them." said Rachel.

"We don't even know if there really is a shooter."

After forty whole minutes of students being locked in rooms panicking, they were finally set free.

And that's when Nathan barged into the toilets with Dantaya.

"Nathan, you pervert! You're forgetting this is the girls toilets!" screamed Rachel.

"What the actual fuck were you guys doing? We were looking for you, we thought you got shot."

"What a very sweet thought, Nathan." said Shelby dryly. "But are you guys okay?"

"Yeah, we are. So much for a first day of school, right Shelby?" said Dantaya

Shelby laughed. "Yeah."

When Ruby and Shelby got home, she went and called Franco.

"Franco, it's me. Shelby. Was that you?"

"Was what me?" asked Franco.

SHELBY: The school shooters.

FRANCO: Not exactly. But I did organise it.

SHELBY: How did you fail?

FRANCO: Their staff are smart. They know how to find shooters so we had to leave immediately.

FRANCO: Where is she now?

SHELBY: In the shower, she cant even hear me.

FRANCO: Do you have any dirt on her now?

SHELBY: No, but I possibly have dirt on someone else which I can use to tear Redfort down.
