"Oh my God! Raven! Raven!" She didn't respond. I looked to Aelita who was just as frantic as I was.

"We've got to get her to the infirmary," Aelita said, "C'mon, help me with this."

We each put one arm around our shoulders and took off. In one of the side hallways, we found a wheel chair, which we propped our friend up in. It was then that I heard the bubbling.

"You take raven to the to the Infirmary. I have to hack something out. I'll be there as soon as I can," I said. I sprinted down the deserted corridor, looking into each of the rooms. I tried to find the source of the noise; I was sure that if I found that, I 'd find what was causing all this trouble.

It was at he end of the hallway- Room 503: the boiler room. I saw some kind of smoke leaking out from beneath the closed door. I tried to open it, but it was locked tight. After making sure that no one else was around, I cupped my right hand, where a ball of fire started to grow. After it was as big as a softball, I launched it at the doorknob. I hit it head on. The door swung open revealing a huge swimming pool sized tub, filled to the rim with a bubbling liquid.

"So," came a voice from behind me, "You found my little hide-out. What do you think?"

"I whipped around to see someone standing in the shadows. After he revealed himself, I almost burst from trying to contain my laughter.

It was Luke standing there in a white lab coat and a surgeon's mask!

"What are you doing?" I took a step towards him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he taunted me.

"And why not?" I demanded.

"Because once I add Zinc to the sulfuric acid, this building is going to fill up with fumes strong enough to knock out this whole town! But I see that my plan is already working... just look at Raven."

"You know, Luke, you really are a psychopath."

"Right now, I'll take that as a compliment."

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, holding my ground.

"Because this school has mocked me for too long!" He shouted.

"What the heck are you talking about? You're the one who always mocks everyone else!" I shouted back.

"You don't get it, do you? When I was in elementary school, everyone would call me four-eyes and other things I don't really want to remember and the teachers wouldn't do anything about it! Then, in 7th grade, when they still wouldn't stop, I started making fun of people. The teasing stopped a little then, but you and your friends were leading what was left of the mockery! I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to get rid of you all for good. Starting with Raven and Aelita."

"Leave my friends alone, you loathsome little cockroach!" I launched the biggest waterball ever right at Luke. He was sent flying in the wall 20 feet away.

"You're the psychopath!" he shouted.

"Right now," I said, smiling, "I'll take that as a compliment.

He got up and started sunning to a table where a button was waiting to be pushed.

"Not so fast!" I hit him again, in the back this time and he was knocked to the ground. I walked over and saw that he was unconscious. I ran over to the controls and began blasting everything with fire to make sure that he wouldn't be able to finish his little science project. Before running out of the room, I tied Luke up and made sure that all of the electronics were nice and broken.

I ran through the building opening all of the doors and window I could find, trying to air it out. About 10 minutes later, I finally reached the infirmary. I found Raven and several other students unconscious on hospital-like beds. That was the first time I actually took a look at my surroundings. To my horror, the nurse was staggering around trying to attend to all of her patients, all with the same symptoms as Raven. All of a sudden, my head began to throb really badly. I knew that Luke had escaped and added the chemicals together.

The pain was so bad that I staggered back into the wall, clutching my head. I scrambled through the nurse's station, the room spinning, and found a mask. After I put it on, my headache barely cleared up. A sick feeling in the pit of my stomach quickly replaced it. Raven had the same symptoms not even 2 hours before, and now look at her. I prayed that I wouldn't end up like my classmates.

I walked carefully over to Raven, all the while wondering where Aelita had gone to. I had an idea, but I hoped I was wrong.

Raven's condition hadn't changed, so I went to see is anyone in the office was still conscious. I didn't even get out the infirmary door before I saw Aelita, passed out, in a chair on the other side of Raven's bed.

I felt like I was in some kind of epidemic movie. I hoped it wouldn't end like one, though; usually, the survivor gets infected with the disease and dies. Either that or gets eaten alive by zombies. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be the latter.

I had two choices: stay here crying like a baby and risk inhaling the fumes, or make use of the time I had and try to fix this mess. Which do you think I chose?

I dashed out to the hall and ran as fast as my legs could carry me.

The problem: I had no idea where I was going.

I decided to call the Poison Control Center. The only reason I remembered the number was because they made up some stupid jungle to along with it.

After I called them and talked to a woman with a nasal voice, I dashed back to the Infirmary to wake my friends up.

I placed one hand on Raven's forehead. I concentrated. Whenever I do this, I kind of sing a mono-noted melody. I can't help it; it's just a natural reflex.

After they were both awake, I explained everything.

Aelita

"Let's get him," Raven's nails grew to their razor blade form.

"First, let's see if he's still out cold," Stafire led the way to the boiler room.

I scanned the room, but no Luke. "Hey, guys, where is he?"

"Right here, Ladies."

We spun around to see him standing in the doorway. I sent a table flying in his direction, but instead, it hit the wall next to him.

Gianni stared at us with bulging eyes. All of a sudden, he took off running, locking the door behind him.

"No you don't!" Raven lunged at the door, impaling it with all ten razors. Before I knew it, she had ripped it off its hinges.

"C'mon!" She said, running out the empty doorframe. I guess that after he escaped, Luke went around to all of the windows and shut them. I tried to re-open one, but it was locked.

"Don't even try to open them," Luke said. They're locked tight."

He had been behind us the whole time.

I swung my arms, hands open, up to the ceiling. Every window in the hallway exploded. Luke didn't say anything out of shock.

"You evil psychos are all alike," I smirked.

All of a sudden, the hall was flooded with white, plastic suits. Raven and Star and I were escorted out of the school by paramedics and had to go to the hospital for examination. They let us go home that day, along with everyone else that was affected by the fumes. No serious damage done.

The school was closed for the week, seeing that it was only Monday wen all this happened, while the Haz-Mat team cleaned out the building.

Luke on the other hand, kept babbling about being attacked by three girls. We aren't worried, though. For the next ten years, he'll be locked up in a nice soft room... all the while being paranoid about being attacked by three girls with "magic powers"...
