An “Intro” to school/ And my “Shaky”Apology

Tuesday, on the way to BCHQ (Black Crystal Headquarters), 1:15 PM.

First and foremost, Yes, I apologised. I mean, I got a few grunts from Kelly, but Jayden listened and acknowledged, and we both fist-bumped, stating that we were fine, and I said I wouldn’t go solo without alerting them. But Kelly accepted the apologies and ran away, a bit less hot-headed than before, which I would call an improvement. But I know she’ll forget about it when I make Choco-cookie Ice Cream at home, or when she goes on another adventure, or when she forgets about it tomorrow. Yeah, I realise I care a little too much about her, but what can I do? She’s my friend.

I was on my way to the Black Crystal Headquarters (BCHQ). When the school was created, the principal believed it would be fun to form teams so that children could learn how to have varied interests and engage with other jobs they might obtain in life. So he formed the following teams: the spy team (where I am), the ball team, the samurai teams, the pottery teams, the computer teams, the Ninja teams (good ninjas who aid, not bad ninjas who steal), the stunt team, and the most boring agricultural team. There was usually one commander who oversaw or assisted us. And every time a new student arrived at school, he or she would find a note in their locker inviting them to join one of the teams (after they reviewed your resume or application). (There have been those who have not been picked) and they have the opportunity to make a decision. The cool thing about these teams is that they earn team tokens or team points, which you can cash in for school tokens to help your class or to buy snacks from the snack shack at the end of each term, and the team with the most points wins the life reality award, and somehow our team always comes in last. The person with the most points wins the Life Champion Award. Fariq and I tied for the award last year, but he cheated (as in food-poisoned me) and won, which is how he gained more favour and earned the award and got crowned president. (One of the reasons I dislike him). This year, our team will easily win more because we have a high point total, have upskilled ourselves, and have solved more than 50 cases. Our biggest case will be Fariq and R edd Beaty’s sugar zombies, and we will have the award in the bag, and I will receive my well-deserved trophy.

The coolest part about it all is that each team enters a portal to reach their secret area. And nobody knows how to get into our room except the people on our squad. The way all of this gateway stuff works is… So you go to a desk in the research lab, press a button, and a microphone comes out, and then you say the password of your respective group, which allows you to open a portal that leads to your specific chamber. This was created a year ago, and there was a new, extremely expensive technology that our principal had purchased, which is what some people use to get around. Even after all of this, most factions have spies who aid infiltrate and steal points, and if they are exposed, everything is gone. Except for our team, every other team is experiencing invasion and revealing. That’s why our team received the dependable team award three times in a row, as well as the most action-taking team once. This year, we will easily annihilate all of the other teams.
