Chapter 2 is up!

Hope you enjoy this!

Lee pov.

I looked around for any clues while flying to where Megan is. So far, so good. Then a few meters away, I saw her crouching. "Hey, Megan!" "Lee, look at this." It was impossible to say that what thing can make THAT kind of footprints. I landed safely next to Megan and examine the prints. It a twice bigger than Megan's and my foot! Just like what Marc said. It has two long toe-fingers like on the front with sharp claws. But I think Tony was a little blind there. There still three more little toenails with sharp claws. A little bigger than ordinary, but still looked like human toenails. Weird. "I'll send it to Jerry for analyses. Check in on Tony and Marc." Megan nodded and call them.

Tony pov.

Marc arrived moments later. We observed the prints and Marc got a call from Megan. They chat for awhile then nodded. "Megan said that Lee wanted us to meet back at the jet. I'll scan for other clues with the WHOOP magnifying sunglasses." He scanned the background for a minute or two then suddenly jerked to a corner near the prints. It was so small but looked closer, there's some… thing. Like when snow day came in the middle of December, small snow collected itself in some area and etc. A small sand hill.

"It's weird. The chemical inside the cell is abnormal! It contains some biological enzymes which causes it to disappear itself! Do you know what it means, Tony?" Marc looked at me with scientific geek eyes. Too much science. For me.

"Soo.. What does it means?" I asked sheepishly at him and shrugged my shoulders. Marc looked at me tiredly and just sighed. Okay, Now I'm feeling mad. "Okay, okay! I'm not the genius here. So, why is it so important!" I huffed at him. He looked at me then smiled.

"It's so~ Important. Because the cells are decomposing themselves. Yet they create new cells in the process of eating. Giving them to survive. I should pick some up to send it to Jerry for analyses." Marc quickly send the information to Jerry and both of us went back to the jet. Just in time to. I think my stomach can't hold any sciency things anymore. Wait! Was it stomach or brain?

"It's brain, Tony! Your stomach can't digest or think scientific things." Marc looked at me, irritated.

"Oops. Did I say it out loud?" "The whole day." I just laughed nervously and make a sign saying 'Forget about it'. I hope he doesn't know about the stuff cat I put under his bed.

"I still heard that Tony." I just stared at him for a minute and blushed.

Marc pov.

I looked at the screen of the jet. Making sure that our altitude is straight and clear. The clouds around California are weird today. Dark clouds are everywhere. It's unusual but not so much a threat to us. We still had a rocky ride before arriving back to our home safe and sound. I wonder what causing the weather to be unusual. I looked outside and saw that we're still in a bad weather condition. I sighed thinking about our luck. Our luck just can't get any worst. Can it?

It just did…

The spiez are at their school. The annual Halloween Party was supposed to be tomorrow. Due to some inconvenient, the party will be held on The Real Day of Halloween. The party was held tomorrow and on the day after that and the day after that, the students were given two-day holiday. The students were thrilled. But now, the holiday was canceled because Halloween this year, sadly on Saturday. The headmistress had pinned the information on the school information board. I just sighed and looked at the others. Tony was screaming no's while Megan and Lee try to cheer him up. Key word: Trying. He still wailed around. Lee was also sad and Megan was trying hold in her tears as well. I just sighed,again. Feeling tired by the minute and it isn't noon yet What's the big deal? At least they didn't cancel it.

The bell rang around the school. All of the students began to move to their respective classes. I have chemistry with Megan. I think that will cheer her up. She got paired with the cute boy that she and Tammy are competing for. I'm the only one without any partner. The class was short of one person. It's not like I care. Last time I had a partner, she was a girl and the experiment that we were doing explode in front of us. I was injured a little. But the girl had a mental breakdown. I didn't have any more partner after that because the girl moved out of Chemistry class.

The teacher entered our class and call out for attendance. I thought about the man that I dreamed yesterday. The man was so handsome, somehow to him. The way that man almost pale skin touch my own pale skin. The way those electrifying eyes bores on me, alone. It was staring on me so lovingly. I was so out of it, I didn't realize a boy has entered the class. He was wearing a sleeveless white shirt with black arm-warmers and black jeans. He wore a beautiful necklace that has a blue gem attached. The way those brown eyes looked at everyone. All the girls giggled. Some blushed at the boy appearance, even Megan. The boy wore a brown sleeveless jacket that stop at the middle of his hips. The boy has long hair, but was tied lose and neatly. The boy looks a year older but maybe he got some extra growth-spurt? He looks familiar but i can't remember.

"Okay class! Today we have a new student that will be joining us for this year and the year after. Introduce yourself to the class." The student nodded to the teacher and faces us.

"Hello, my name is Lyric Quinn. Nice to meet you.". He bows a little than just like that. Our eyes meet and stared at each other. He has the same name as the man in my dream! But he looked a little younger than the man. And the way he looks is so… hot… I feel my cheek has gone red and I quickly averted my eyes away. But I still felt his eyes on me and it's giving me goosebumps. The teacher coughed as the he, Lyric stopped.

"All right, Lyric. You really have a funny name there. But let's move on. You'll be partner with Marc. Marc! Please raise your hand."

…. Just my luck. I raised my hand. I think my blush is still on my face. The teacher nodded and Lyric took the seat next to me. I know that I'm still blushing but I still smiled at him. He looked at me then smiled. I can't help myself to blush more. He laughed quietly and looked at the board. It's so weird. I can't sit still even though the learning has start. I felt like my heart was about to burst. A paper was passed in front of me. I looked at the hand and to it master. Lyric passed the paper without removing his eyes on the board. I looked at the paper and read it.

'Are you okay? Did I scared you?' I looked at Lyric before taking the paper and write it.

'No, I'm just a little tired. That's all.'
'Oh, that's good. So, mind telling me your name, beauty?'
I can't help but blush more.
'FYI, I'm 100 percent boy and my name is Marc Clark.'
He smiled at that and looked at me. I can't help but stared. He stared back at me. It's like the universe have stopped. He hold out a hand and slowly touched my cheek. A small gesture but a wonderful feeling. His thumb was slowly rubbing my cheek and I feel my eyes has closed itself. It was warm and I feel like we have met before. I opened my eyes and saw he was blushing as well. I can't help but blush as well. I touch his hand that was on my cheek. Both of us smiled and enjoyed the warm gesture. A cough caught our attention and Megan with her partner was in front of us. We quickly pulled our hand back. I frowned at the lost contact.

"Well, I guess you both are friends now. Hello, Lyric. This is James. The boy in front of you is my brother. Welcome to Southdale Jr. School." She said. James waves at him and Lyric waves back. I didn't know why but suddenly an angry emotion towards Megan arise. I quickly shook my head and let them talk until we both went to our next class.
