As the boys walked from the back courtyard to the front, they began to feel fear around them, as if everyone nearby was watching. The feeling didn't stop, even if they knew there was no one there, there was this presence of someone watching, controlling every one of their steps, every sound, every movement felt like it wasn't their choice.

  With the other group as they rushed, looking behind them to see if anyone was following them, and as they got farther from the danger they sensed, they felt a sense of calm, yet as they slowed down to a walk, the calm they felt became a sharp feeling of dread, the thoughts of being controlled and one's freedom being taken away and being a pawn in a game of chess those were the thoughts that were pushed to their minds as they walked to the front courtyard.

  "Guys, what do you think those two were talking about?" Whispered Marv, to the others so as not alert anyone to what they saw

  "By what I observed, they seemed to be talking about something important by their body movement, yet there's no way to know since we couldn't hear anything from the room." Said Marc, who seemed to be already thinking of a way to bypass any other sound-blocking tech.

  As they finally got down and made it to the ground level, they saw the others who seemed to have this dreaded expression.

  Yo, Guys you wouldn't believe what we saw!" said Kian as the two groups walked towards each other.

  "Yeah, same here, but let's talk about it in the courtyard." Said Isaiah as the groups met and started to walk to the front courtyard

  Once they got outside the building, a strong breeze of wind blew past them, calming them as they walked around the courtyard. They saw two benches and decided to sit there and talk about what they saw.

  "After we saw the fight get ended, we sat down near a few trees and saw these two guys on the roof, looking at us, observing us like hawks," said Jash with a terrified look in his eyes.

  "We had a similar thing, but instead we saw two hooded guys in the music room, but we couldn't really hear them since it was soundproof." Said Kian to the others

  "It seems that these two events may be connected to the two figures we saw back home," said Hope with a hand on his chin, thinking

  "Ok, let's deal with this by telling a teacher," said Marv, trying to calm everyone

  "Not possible," said Marc with a calculating face, confusing the others.

  "And why is that?" said Hope to Marc with a stern face

  "Well, I noticed that whenever there's something to distract us, that's when they show up. And we don't know if the teachers are doing this intentionally or not. There's also the patter that if there's someone powerful nearby, they don't appear," said Marc with a tired expression.

  "So you're saying we might be alone in investigating this?" said Marv with a confused look. But the others seemed to understand the logic behind Marc's thought.

  After a bit of just relaxing, calming down, and once the sun started to set, they decided to go back to the room.

  "Ok, guys, we can try and think of something later, but let's try to get all the pieces we have together," said Isaiah to the rest of the group.

  After he said that, Marc thought of something, got something from his inventions, and pulled a small hologram projector, and he set it up on a wall. They didn't put anything after a few second a screen popped out a sort of board was projected.

  "This is a digital bulletin board; they used to use a physical version on early Earth to connect things in a mystery," said Marc, explaining what the device was

  "Perfect!" said Jash with a smile on his face.

  "Ok, let us put all of the events that we have seen in order in chronological order on the board," said Hope, gesturing Marc to do what he said, after that all the events started to appear on the board in chronological order. After that, the six started to share theories about what the hooded figure wanted, what they were, and why they were everywhere. The theories ranged from normal to Crazy. And as the hours passed, Marv looked at his watch and said

  "Guys, it's already 10 pm, we should probably go to sleep now, since our first day." After that, they all decided to go to bed, realizing how crazy the theories had gotten and also just wanting to sleep.
