Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters expect Marissa. The plan is coming out! The stories almost over! I think I might make a squel, what do you think?

As soon as Jake got on the bus Marissa tapped him. She had to talk to him about the other night. She just couldn't believe what happened. Jake turned around to quickly that Marissa couldn't find the words to say, almost.

"About last night…" she started.

"What about it?" Jake asked.

"Do you think we could-start over?" Marissa said. "For the play's sake?"

"Start over as friends, or-" Jake paused.

"As friends," Marissa said. "I don't think everyone would be to happy if we were arguing non-stop back stage."

"Only for the plays sake," Jake said as he turned back around.

Marissa sighed and looked over to Jinx. "At least I tried," she whispered to her.

Marissa called Jinx last night as soon as Jake left. They talked for a while, both amazed, then got down to business. Jinx said that she had to talk to Jake, ask him if he wanted to start over, as friends, and not boyfriend and girlfriend. Marissa agreed and spent hours in front of the mirror preparing herself for nothing. Jake only wanted to get along with her to make the play go over smoothly. But of what Marissa heard the other night, it didn't seem like it would.

The bus quickly arrived at Sky High and everyone got off the bus. Marissa started to her locker when someone blocked her way. It was Parker and Lash. Marissa tried to go around them but couldn't.

"What do you want?" she asked, angrily.

"What's with the attitude?" Lash asked.

"You seem upset. Why I'll never know, because after all it was you who listened in on my conversation." Parker said.

"And I'm sorry, now please let me pass," Marissa said.

"You better be sorry," Lash said, getting into her face. "Or we will make you sorry." Lash quickly put his hand into a fist and punched Marissa in the face so hard it caused her to fall to the floor. Everyone turned to see what was going on.

"Do you understand?" Parker said.

"Yes I do," Marissa whimpered as she tried to get up. Jinx saw this and went over to help her up, but Lash stopped her.

"Let her get up by herself," Lash said.

Marissa began to get up very slowly. Jinx began to push through Lash; she quickly went around and broke through the crowd, without Lash noticing. As soon as Lash turned his head to find her Jinx quickly helped Marissa up and got out of the crowded hallway into another one.

"Are you okay?" Jinx asked, examining her nose.

"I'm fine."

"You've got a bloody nose, and I sure hope you don't get a black eye."

"Me too."

"Do you need to go to the nurse?"

"No, I'm fine," Marissa said as she got up.

She quickly turned her head and noticed Lash and Parker charging over to her. Lash looked as if some one had punched him. Marissa went to the one place she knew she would be safe from any boys, the girl's room. She examined her nose. It was a little bloody so she grabbed some toilet paper and applied pressure. Jinx quickly came in.

"I think you need to go to the nurse's, and now," Jinx said.

"Not with them out there," Marissa said.

"Just wait until there gone. Can you walk okay, or do you need some help?"

"I think I can. I rushed right in here didn't I?"

"Smart move, I just hope no one who's working for them is in here now," Jinx said as she checked all the stalls. "I was right, not a single one. The restroom's empty. That's odd. I wonder why." The bell rang.

"That maybe why," Marissa said as Jinx peeked her head out the door.

"It's all clear, but I'll go with you just in case," Jinx said opening the door. On the way to the nurse's office Marissa left a trial of blood from the restroom. The nurse saw her state and quickly got another tissue as she led her to a bed.

"Lay down," she said. Marissa did so. She turned to see who else was in the nurse's office. She saw Jake holding a tissue to his nose also and an ice pack to his eye.

"What happened to you?" Marissa asked Jake.

"Got in a fight, you?"

"Lash punched me. What did you get in a fight for?"

"I don't know, just did."

"I mean what was the fight about?"

"Well after I saw what happened to you I punched Lash and he punched me back." Jake said.

"You did?" Marissa said, shocked.

"What did he do?" Jinx said.

"He punched Lash," Marissa said to Jinx.

"You sure it didn't back fire and he punched himself?" Jinx laughed.

"Well, Lash punched him, like he punched me," Marissa said.

"Oh," Jinx stopped laughing. "Well, now you guys will match for opening night tonight at least. I thought that Laurey having a black eye wouldn't be right, but now that Curly does-"

Marissa and Jake gave her a shut up look.

"Never mind," Jinx said. "Marissa, do you need help getting to your next class?"

"No, I think I'll be fine," Marissa said as she got up.

"Leaving so soon?" Jake said.

"Yeah, I think I'll be fine," Marissa said as she and Jinx headed towards the door.

"Well I'm no coward," Jake said. He got up and threw his icepack and tissue away and followed the girls out the door. As Jake, Jinx, and Marissa came into Mr. Popes' classroom they found it almost empty.

"Where is everyone?" Marissa asked.

"Some one said that Principal Powers needed to see them," Mr. Popes said. Marissa looked all around there was only Kevin left along with Chia and a few others. Will and Layla were gone.

"Why would she borrow almost everyone in the class?" Jinx asked.

"I don't know, but please take your seats and wait for them to come back," Mr. Popes said. Jake and Jinx did as they were told. "Marissa, sit down."

"I don't think their going to be coming back," Marissa said.

"What?" Mr. Popes said.

"Mr. Popes, may I please go to the restroom," Marissa said. She looked over to Jinx, Jake, Kevin, and Chia and winked.

"Why sure, but please come back as soon as possible," Mr. Popes said as Marissa dashed out the door.

"Mr. Popes, can I go get a drink?" Jinx asked.

"Sure, but come back soon." Mr. Popes said. Jake, Kevin and Chia tried to figure a way to get out of class. Jake had an idea.

"Hey guys, I gotta go get and icepack, wanna come with?" Jake said getting up.

"You don't need two other people to go with you," Mr. Popes said. Quickly Kevin stuck his foot out for Jake to trip on, he did.

"Mr. Popes, Jake just got tripped by Kevin, and he needs help getting to the nurse's," Chia said.

"Fine, and Kevin, report to Principal Powers' office, now!" Mr. Popes said as Chia helped Jake out the door, Kevin followed. Marissa and Jinx had been waiting right outside the doorway.

"Are we ready to go?" Marissa asked.

"Yep, good trip Kevin," Jake said.

"Thanks, let's just say I know how to trip people," Kevin bragged as he laughed.

Marissa went to Principal Powers office with Jake, Jinx, Kevin, and Chia right behind her. When she arrived there was no one there. She quickly ran to the cafeteria to see if everyone was in there, they weren't. She then went to the gym and found everyone there.

"This is where everyone is?" Jinx painted.

"I guess so," Jake painted.

"Now you may all wonder why you are gathered here," Lanta said. Marissa, Jinx, Kevin, Chia, and Jake ducked under the risers. Very quickly straps came up over everyone in the seats. Marissa noticed that most of them were in the hero classes, expect Will's gang.

"We are gathered here to watch a video," Vitani said. "Please put on your glasses which are beside you."

Everyone did so. "Lanta, if you may," Vitani said gesturing towards the screen. Lanta turned on the movie and everyone watch through their glasses. Marissa quickly noticed that they were being hypnotized.

"We've gotta go tell some one," Marissa whispered as they exited the gym. They left just in time as the doors closed right behind them. They turned around to find Mr. Francis right behind them.
