A/N I'm still obsessed with The Greatest Showman soundtrack if you were wondering about that and I am still highly suggesting you listen to it! Also, I like this chapter. It has a lot of small different things going on, but I like it and hope you do too! (I just realized it kind of starts off choppy because when I started writing this I didn't make chapters, but I had to separate it somehow so sorry)

"Yeah, let's go. So Jose, how does this work?" Jack said.

"What?"

"The whole escorting thing," he awkwardly said.

"Oh! Well, we have a car if you want a ride to school. If you prefer to walk that is fine too. I'll explain the rest of it on the way through. I believe you have to be at school soon," Jose said.

"Yeah, could we get a ride to school though. I'd rather not walk," I said.

"Sure,"

We got in the car and I was impressed. Pepper drove in the front and the back had two benches. Jack and I sat on one side and Jose sat on the other.

"Okay so am I allowed to like, go anywhere?" I asked.

"For now, you're safe to do whatever you normally do. That is, as long as Pepper and I are with you."

"Okay. Um when we get to the school, can we park a block or two away? I don't want everyone to see me and Jack driving together in some fancy car. People would ask a lot of questions," I asked.

"Sure," Jose said. "You hear that Pepper?"

"I'm not deaf!" He said roughly.

When we got there I started to get out but Jose stopped me. "It's protocol I have to get out first Kim. Sorry, but it could save your life one day."

"Why does it even matter to you guys if I live. I mean, sure I don't want to die, but why can't anyone tell me what the heck is going on here?" I blurted out.

"You mean you don't know?" Jose asked, surprised.

"No," I told him.

"Well, I don't think I should be the one to tell you. You'll know soon enough."

"Are going to pick us up after school or something?" I asked, still a little confused.

"Yeah. Actually, we were told we will be going to school with you." Jose said.

"No way! You can't just walk in with us! First, people will laugh. Second, I can handle it. And third, how are you supposed to get in without anyone having any questions?" I yelled.

"Kim, calm down," Jack said, grabbing my arms.

"Well, I do agree. Here is the deal. We walk you up almost to the door. I'll go first without you guys and get thing situated for Pepper and I. Then you walk in. After you guys are safely inside, Pepper walks in last."

"That seems pretty elaborate. Are you this is all necessary?" I asked.

"Well, you never know when someone might jump out at any moment," Jose said.

"Fine," I said.

Pepper walked over and we started walking. Pepper stayed behind me and Jack, about 5-10 feet. Jose, however, was walking right alongside us.

"Okay, you guys stay with Pepper, I'm going in," Jose said, pretending to be a spy. It made me laugh a little, he kind of was a spy already. He was a spy, pretending to be a fake spy so nobody would think he was a real spy.

"Oh, you like that?" Jack asked. He reached behind him and pulled out some shades. He started to moonwalk but tripped after only a few steps.

I laughed a little louder and saw Pepper look a little annoyed out of the corner of my eye. Why did he have to be so rough anyways?

"You can go now," he grumbled.

"Okay, thanks," I said going over to help Jack up.

We walked in still laughing and Jerry, Eddie, and Milton walked over to us.

"What's so funny?" Jerry asked.

"Nothing, I guess I'm just in a really good mood." I turned to Jack, "it can't be that Pepper from earlier though!" I said, referring to Agent Pepper in a code of sorts, so everyone would think I was talking about the spice. I started laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

Jack was laughing too, but not as hard.

"I don't get it," Jerry said.

"I don't either," Eddie said.

"I think they're having a moment," Milton said.

"Nah, it's just an inside joke. Good one Kim!" Jack said, giving me a fist bump.

"We should get to class, don't want to be late!" I said.

"Kim, you're always late," Milton told me.

"Way to burst my bubble!" I said.

We all went to class, which happened to be the same first bell for everyone.

"Okay, everyone sit down. There will be an assembly later today, after second bell. Because of that classes are shortened. Okay, let's get started!" The teacher said.

I love assemblies. Normally they aren't great, but it means shorter classes. After class, I went to my locker with Jack. I opened it and a note fell out.

Go down the hall, 4th door on the left. Bring Jack if you want, nobody else. -JL and Pepper

"Look at this Jack," I showed him the note.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" He said.

We walked over to the place described and went inside. It was just some small side room where kids take tests sometimes.

"So how was your first class?" Jose asked.

"Fine. Um, have you been here all day?" I asked.

"Kind of. Listen I forgot to tell you a few things. First, if you need to talk to me or find me, we will be here. At least for now. Second, I need to see your phone." Jose said.

"Why?" I wondered.

"I have to adjust something." He fiddled with it and then showed me. "If you hold down this button, it sends an alert to me and Pepper. If you get into any trouble, don't hesitate to call us," he said.

"You should get to class. We aren't going to give you a pass," Pepper coldly said, pushing us out of the room.

I put my phone away and Jack and I walked to class. It was boring, as usual. At least we had the assembly now.

A/N Is anything going to happen at the assembly?

Q: How many cousins do you have?

A: ... idk, like 75... and yes, I mean first cousins, none of that 3rd cousin crap (but if you do stuff with your 2nd or 3rd or so on cousins, that was a joke. The point of the question was about first cousins, not to offend anyone... As I heard today in Biology, "You can't just assume things, this is 2017 dude!" Um, sorry Dominic, it is actually 2018 but that's cool, people can find a lot to be offended by including me)
