" Hurry up! I heard something's happening out there. Something big. And it's not like we can afford to miss this."
Ethan put his jacket on and followed Andrew out of the room. It was good to see he was back to his cheery,
cocky old self. Both boys went down to the main hall, were a crowd stood. It was then Ethan spotted the
ambulance. "Wow...what's up?" Andrew asked. "Mr Hobbs had an 'accident' apparently." It was Penny who had
spoken, a 12 year old Chinese-American girl. She smirked knowingly. And that was all Ethan needed. As he stood
on his tiptoes, he saw him. He saw the pitiful state Mr Hobbs was in, the way his legs lay on the stretcher, the
way his eyes were agonizing, showing way too much white. His expression grew dark. He had done it again. And
this time it had been to a teacher. A teacher who Ethan actually liked. He had been the only teacher who had
been able to live up to Ethan's expectations, keep his interest.
But there was nothing he could do about it, just stand there and watch as they dragged the man away. He knew
why Caine had done this. And he hated the fact that if he ever dared to even threaten her, Caine would be
against him. Diana had sure found a worthy bodyguard. Or a tool, more like.
Drake and Ethan entered Caine and Drake's room, where they found Caine, lying on his bed. "It was you" It
wasn't a question. And Ethan wasn't smiling. Caine sat up. "Is that a problem?" Drake smirked. "Is it true that
Diana cried when she told you about it? When she told you he had tried to force her?" Caine glared at Drake, the
books on the desk lifting up. "Shut it, Drake" "You do know she lied, right?" Ethan said. Caine turned to him.
"What do you mean?" Ethan made a tsk sound, as if dissing Caine but fully expecting that answer at the same
time. "He failed Diana. That's the only reason why she did it, Caine." Caine glared at him, the books starting to
float in circles. Ethan stood his ground, though his hands were ready. Caine then smiled. "Do you really want to
do this, Ethan? Let it go, ok? Don't make me send you to hospital with Mr Hobbs. You know I will" Ethan put his
hands down, but smirked. "Look, Caine, all we're saying is the minx failed maths. We were both there. And after
your big act, Bug told us she had gone to Compute Jack for him to change her marks. That's all I'm saying dude".
Bug was a little 10 year old brat who had developed the power to be invisible, or camouflage more like. And this
ability made him the greatest eavesdropper in school. Caine tried to hide it, but anger started to build up inside
of him as the truth dawned on him. He had been used. Drake smiled his shark like grin, his grey eyes enjoying
the scene. He looked at Ethan, who gave him the same look of amusement, his blue eyes shining with triumph.
Once again, they had got in Diana's way. And they were both enjoying it.

As soon as algebra finished, Ethan and Benno walked up to Caine. "Hey, Caine, I-" "Who was the girl, Ethan?"
Caine spoke calmly, as if talking about the weather. Benno looked confused, as if trying to figure out what he
meant. But Ethan had known almost immediately. He had feared this would happen. He played along. "What girl,
dude?" Caine smiled his genuine smile. "You were late for history last week. Before it was called off, that is. Bug
here says he saw you talking to a girl. He said you used your power." Ethan resisted the urge to gulp. How much
did Caine know? He calmed himself down and analysed the situation. Ethan was brighter than Caine, both boys
knew this. And, if he was subtle enough, he could get away with this. "Why so concerned, Caine? Can we not
have visitors any more?" Caine's mouth twitched. "I was just wondering why you used your power. But, more
importantly, I was wondering why Andrew seemed so... affected by her presence. Was this girl by any chance
Andrew's sister?" Crap. That was the first word that popped into Ethan's head. He then thought hard. Trying to
remember the conversation they had. And then he found the gap. They hadn't actually said anything that proved
this. He sighed, pretending it wasn't his place to tell. "Look, if you must know, it was Andrew's ex-girlfriend, ok?
When I saw her, I didn't know who she was. Then she asked for Andrew and said she'd look for him herself, so I
had to stop her. And then, well, Andrew told her to piss off, end of story." Caine nodded and turned to Benno.
Benno turned to Caine and nodded. Caine smiled. "Oh, ok. Was there anything you wanted to tell me?" Benno
shook his head and both boys brushed passed. They went to Ethan and Andrews room and sprayed deodorant
around the room to make sure bug wasn't there. Last time, he had breathed in half of the bottle and almost
chocked. As soon as Andrew came they told him what had just happened. Andrew winced. "He did hear then. He
heard our conversation." He then thought for a while. "Well, as long as we're here, she'll be safe".

Ethan wrote out the chemistry formula on the black board. It was easy, which made it even harder for him to
stop himself from drifting into thought. Since the Mr Hobbs incident Nurse Temple had been suspicious. Suspicious
of all of them. But that was only a little issue. The main one was that list, the list Caine kept. He kept a list of all
the kids who had developed...powers. He no longer even needed them to show. Diana had discovered she had
an ability of her own: To read powers. She said the power levels were like cell phone bars. And Caine's was the
highes: He was a four bar. Ethan, Andrew and Benno had all been told they were three bars. He wasn't sure, but
he had heard something about Dekka, a tough girl from his gym class, being a 3 bar too. And others like Taylor,
the number one gossip in the school and one of the most annoying girls Ethan had ever met; and Brianna, a loud
and hyper 12 year old, were two bars.
"Wow! Did you see that?" Ethan blinked and turned around. And he scratched his neck in confusion. Where the
hell was the teacher? He looked at the class. Everyone just stared at the teachers desk, wondering what had
happened. Caine got up, "Ok, who did that? Who has that ability?" Ethan was a little shocked at his bluntness
but, none the less, looked around the classroom. No one spoke. "Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Who did
that?" He asked, raising the teachers desk and slamming it into the wall. Some kids shrieked. Others just stared,
horror struck. And others, like Ethan, immediately turned to the door, expecting an adult to come in. And the door
did open. But it was Drake who came in, a smirk on his face. "I don't know what you freaks have done...but
school seems to be out" Everyone looked at each other, not understanding. As they left the room they found out
exactly what he had said. The school was empty of adults. "There is no one over 9th grade. They're gone" Ethan
said. They all wondered around, curious. Kids were nervous, excited, confused, scared. After a few hours, Caine
managed to gather them all in the grand hall, where they had a stage. As kids started settling, Caine spoke,
"Kids of Coates Academy. The adults, and everyone over the age of 15 seem to have... disappeared. We-" "But
where are they?".Chunk, who had been standing in the front row. Caine made an effort to be nice. "We don't
know Chunk, that's the whole point. So, as I was saying, we don't know where they've gone, or if this has just
happened here or-" He was cut off again by Chunk "You mean it could have happened in town too? Then where
are we going to get help?" Caine sighed, but still managed to pull off a kind tone. "It could have, Chunk. We will
soon find out. But this isn't the only problem. We also have no reception. Communications seem to have been
cut-". "My father has a jet. He can get here in no time. That should save us" Chunk said. Caine was about to
answer but it was Ethan who snapped "100,000 sperm to choose from, and you were the fastest? Seriously? He
just said communications are NOT WORKING. You got that, moron? How do you think you'll contact your dad and
his stupid jet?" Everyone fell silent. Ethan was normally calm but everyone new he was, well, a bit bipolar. Caine
smirked. Chunk looked around awkwardly. "Geez, sorry, you could be a bit nicer" Ethan pondered over throwing
him out of the window. Instead he glared at the kid and said. "I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. How's
that?" He gulped but nodded. And Caine went on with his speech. But Ethan didn't relax. This was why Caine
thought Ethan was useful: He was probably the brightest kid in school, he had strong powers, but, most of all,
he was dangerous if ticked off. Not Drake dangerous, but scary dangerous.
Drake put his feet up on the headmistress' desk, leaning back on his big studio chair. Diana leaned against the
wall, fidgeting with her nails. Bug, Penny, Fredericco, and the rest of Caine's new 'clique' stood or sat scattered
around the room, listening carefully to what Caine had been saying. Caine had been standing in the centre of the
room, giving away a feeling of magnificence, of confidence. Caine had made sure some like Ethan, or Computer
Jack didn't attend. He was afraid of their reaction. They'd find out later. "Plastering I've called it" Added Drake,
smiling, delighted at the sheer thought. "You want to... cement their hands?" "Do you have a problem with that,
Jared?" The boy shook his head feverishly. Caine smiled. That's what he thought.
"Let's think for a second. What's the situation?" Caine asked. Ethan was sitting on the window sill, back to one
side of the window, feet pushing on the other. He had been wondering around for a while and had decided he
might as well join Caine's little 'take over Coates' party. He sat up as he spoke. "All the people 15 and over have
disappeared. There's a giant wall thing out there. We don't know the perimeter it covers or how deep down it
goes into earth. Bug has had a look down the motorway. The adults have disappeared in town too." Caine
smirked, getting up and putting his hands behind his back. "Therefore, the most logical move would be to go into
town, right?" Ethan looked at him for a moment, then at Benno, and then out the window. "Dunno dude. You're
kinda running things here and it's not like we have little kids but, town? Right now it could be crazy to just go in
there: Kids crying, bullies getting violent, confusion-" "Caos. The perfect moment to strike" Said Drake, smirking,
twirling around in the headmistress's chair. Diana snorted. "We want to take over Drake, not massacre." "But,
Drake has a point: We will arrive in the middle of the caos, organized, sure of ourselves. And they will fall for it,
they will believe every word we say". Everyone seemed to agree with this. "Ok. We will head down the day after
tomorrow. I will take some kids with me down there to give a good impression. We must rehearse it. Diana, Jack,
Ethan and Drake, you'll be coming down with me. Benno, I leave you in charge of things up here. Frederico,
Andrew, you will serve as backup. You will run things up here and... I will give you some further instructions
later." Ethan turned to study Caine's face. He hadn't liked the way he had said that last sentence, like he was
going to do something which he wasn't that sure was right. But he ignored this when he noticed Andrew shift in
his chair. He was obviously worried about his sister.
