"Alright everyone, settle down," Mr. Felson began saying. There were almost 15 kids in the class, each with an empty look on their faces. Ace was sitting alone in one corner, and the rest of the Cobras were sitting together in another corner. Chris and Alex were in the middle of both gangs, Alex somewhat proud of herself for splitting up the Cobras.

"You're probably wondering why you are here," he said when everyone was quiet.

"You're damn right I am," Eyeball said and the whole classes laughed. Except Ace, who just kept staring at Alex. Chris spotted him and felt uncomfortable. Something didn't feel right.

"If Mr. Chambers pleases to shut his mouth I will continue, or else everyone will be sleeping here tonight," Mr. Felson raised his voice toward the end. He continued when everyone was silent.

"The reason you're here is because something was found in one of the toilets. Something unacceptable on school grounds. Somebody informed me, but I didn't inform the principal. Now, if someone admits, you won't go to the principal. It will be between you and me. If not, the whole class will get a 1 week vacation from school, and a note from me to your parents."

"Mr. Felson, forgive me, but what are you talking about?" Eyeball asked sarcastically.

"Some sort of white powder was found in the toilets downstairs. I had it examined and it turned out to be heroin Mr. Chambers."

Chris turned white and cold when he heard his name coming out of the assistant principal's mouth. He glanced at Alex without looking suspicious. Alex shrugged and glanced at Ace. Ace showed no emotion and just stared blankly back at Alex, and stared briefly at Chris.

"Hey hey hey. Don't use my name like that. I have nothing to do with this situation," Eyeball suddenly stood up.

"I'm not so sure Mr. Chambers," Mr. Felson said.

"Jesus Mr. Felson! I'm telling you it wasn't me! Why don't you just do a blood test or something?"

"Oh shit. We're dead. We're fucked up," Chris mumbled to himself. Alex stared at Ace again.

"I can't support a blood test for each person in here. The only way to get one done is to alert the principal. I'm sure you wouldn't want me doing that," explained Mr. Felson.

"Who was it that told you about this white substance?" Eyeball questioned.

"That's confidential Mr. Chambers," Mr. Felson said. "Now, would someone care to confess? Or maybe, if you know something, anything about who this person could be, say it right now."

Nobody made a sound. Alex kept staring at Ace. She was scared Ace might say something. Chris was starting to freak out. Alex put her hand on his knee and Chris calmed down. "Nobody knows," he thought to himself.

"Right, I'm going to give you a day. If you know something, you come straight to my office and tell me. It will be between you and me, and remember I'm trying to help you kids. If, by the end of tomorrow, I won't get an answer, you're all getting a vacation," Mr. Felson said and left the room.

Everyone started talking, and some people started leaving.

"You know anything about this Ace?" Eyeball asked him suspiciously.

"I know that I could fuck you up if I told him it was you," Ace smirked.

"You know it's not me," Eyeball said.

"I don't know anything Eyeball. Just back off," Ace said and left.

Eyeball looked at his friends and shrugged. They all looked confused and started to leave.

"I hope it's not you Chris," Eyeball said sarcastically as he left the room. Chris gave a nervous laugh.

Alex and Chris stood up to leave too.

"They don't know Chris. We got nothing to be afraid of," Alex said calmly.

"Ace knows," Chris said looking into Alex's eyes.

Alex didn't say anything to Chris. Alex couldn't say it, but she really trusted Ace with all her heart. Ace would never harm her. But she didn't want Chris to know her feelings.
