Special thanks to : @aquaticshortlist for helping me with this chapter!

Another day, another freaking tiring day of riddles written by third graders and annoying Garroths! Getting ready for school, I pondered about the poem while I headed to the kitchen.

Under the big dome. What could that mean? Irene said that it was at school so could it be a building with a big dome?

My train of thoughts came into an abrupt halt as I smelt the most amazing thing in the universe. I literally fell down the steps and to the kitchen, but what shocked me most wasn't the delicious blueberry pancakes sitting on the table but Sly, who was wearing the school's uniform, flipping those pancakes.

"What are you doing here?!" I screamed at him.

He turned around with one hand on his hips and another on the pan, smirking at me,

"Why, can't you see Jess, getting you and I ready for school of course, I almost thought that I had to go up there and give you a good morning kiss myself." he winked at me before turning around again to flip the pancakes.

I was furious, Sly wouldn't do this, this has got to be Irene's doing. I sat down pouting, I have to admit, Sly's pancakes are the best but the fact that he's going to school with me makes everything go downhill.

Sly then leaned over the counter and asked,

"So.......what's the latest clue?"

I took out the poem from my pocket and handed it to him. He took it and pondered over it.

"Is there a building at your school with a dome over it?"

Looks like he and I have the same ideas.

"Well, I was going to find it at school." I replied as I shoveled another spoon full of blueberry pancakes into my mouth. Mmmmmm, this is heaven.

"Sweet! Well, let's go fatty!!" Sly screamed, literally screamed as he dragged me of my seat and out the door. My blueberry pancakes....why....

Just as I was about to yell at Sly for making me leave my blueberry pancakes in the house, a shrill, annoying voice rang through the air,

"Aphmau~Senpai!!"

Oh no.....Kawaii~Chan. The Gods have given me no mercy.

"Aphmau~Senpai!!" she screamed again as Sly ran even faster than he did before.

"Oh god who's that, he voice is so annoying!" he yelled over Kawaii~Chan's screaming of my name as he used his free hand to try and cover his ears.

'Well, that's Kawaii~Chan." I told him. I'm not going to tell him that he shouldn't make her angry, I'm still angry at him for making me leave my blueberry pancakes at home.

In no time at all, we managed to reach school. The good part is that we reached 30 minutes early without the usual morning gang dragging us down but the bad [art is that my hair is close enough to resemble a bird's nest. I'm the new bird. Chirp Chirp.

Sly on the other hand was so happy to finally be in school again. You see, this is because Sly was so smart in his time that they keep asking him to skip grades and graduated in the most prestigious university when he was 12. So, basically, having a normal school life is like a dream come true for him.

Just as about he was going to admire the squirrel beside the tree, that annoying voice came again, this time, from beside me. My soul almost left me.

"Aphmau~Senpai, who's Stranger~Kun over there?"

"Yeah Aph, who's he?" Laurance asked, clearly jealous, same can be said with Garroth.

"Is he going to take my baby away. Or has he already?" Katelyn grinder out as she fisted her hands together.

I could only sigh. How did I befriend them again? If only my life was a book, then our faithful meeting could be somewhere around Chapter 3 I think.

"Guys, this is my old friend Sly who moved from RossTown to here, Phoenix Drop."

Sly turned around at the mention of his name. Not forgetting to pet the squirrel before standing beside me, giving the guys a small wave.

"Hi, I'm Sly!" he grinned while sweeping everyone with his friendly gaze. Although, his gaze did seem to linger slightly longer at both Laurance and Garroth.

"Hey Aph, I thought that I asked you to show me around school." He then said as he pulled me to the courtyard, I nodded before giving the gang a slight wave before falling into step with Sly. I gave him a side hug as thanks, Sly gets it.

Kawaii~Chan's P.O.V

Hmmmm, Kawaii~Chan doesn't like Sly~Kun with Aphmau~Senpai. They don't seem like the perfect ship. The only person hat can go with someone as sweet and kind as Aphmau~Senpai is someone who is mysterious and is hated by everyone! The cliche bad boy and good girl story of Kawaii~Chan's dreams!!

Laurance's P.O.V

I don't like that Sly with Aphmau. The only person that can be beside her is me! I am the only one fit for her, what does he have that I don't? I have to admit, even though he has a slight stubble, it does seem to make him seem more sexy. Is that it? Is that why Aph wants to date him instead of me? Fine, I'll remove it, then she'll have to fall in love in me and we'll have millions of babies!!!!

Garroth's P.O.V

Aphmau has a boyfriend....she has a boyfriend. N-nevermind, I'll break all the doors that comes in the way of our relationship!

Squirrel's P.O.V

I like that guy. He smells like pancakes. IHOP. I need that.
