After slithering through a dozen more corridors we arrived at a dead end. A tall metallic wall stood in front of me and my basketball teacher. 

"Sir, where now-" I muttered. He ignored me and touched the wall with his large hand, perfect for playing basketball. He grunted and the door opened silently. 

"You go now," he said.

"Eh, sure" I left him behind, walked silently on the polished floor. Anxiety and nervousness were slowly creeping up on me. After all, I am gonna meet the president of E.A.R.T.H; and that for busting the head open of a kid. But surely it was a minor injury, the witch-faced kid was a good actor. He acted like I almost killed him.

Butterflies were horse-riding inside me. I was scared.

My old man believes in me so much. And I am here, going to meet him for doing a foul, on the second day of school.

I took a deep breath. Endured the willpower and walked straight inside his office.

He was standing facing a large glass window. The space looked incredible. I almost forgot about why I was here. The spectacular view, I took in as much I could. My Dad was wearing his black jumpsuit with white stripes.

"Dad it was just a mistake," I said apologetically. 

"I know," he said still facing the window. There was something in his voice that was unsettling.

"I will try to avoid anything like that in the future," I said. But he merely nodded.

His office like you expect was big. Big enough to place 3 or 4 elephants( they extincted almost 350 years ago). His table was on the wall next to the window. The room looked comfortable but I was nervous.

"But he egged me first," I said. He turned around but his expression was blank.

"I know that it was not your mistake," he said. I knew that he would trust me. "Remus; you should avoid getting in trouble. This is the greatest mission for humans. If this fails"

"humanity fails" he sighed 

I felt dreadful. Now I see. some way or other it was my mistake. I should have acted rationally. But it was late now. 

"You are big enough to see your responsibilities," he said.

At that moment I realized, how big this mission is for my dad. If S.P.O.R.E fails...

"Sorry Dad, I should have..." I said uncomfortably.

"It's okay Reamus," he said. "Have you eaten anything?" he asked

"No I came here directly," I said, I was not feeling hungry.

"Let's have food," he said. 

"Nah, I am not hungry," I said

"I said, it's okay. Don't feel too bad now, I had to make you feel your responsibilities. Now cheer up" he said smiling a little.  

We ate sitting beside the glass window. Looking at the scene made me eat some food. My dad and I talked and ate. Though mostly it was silent. 

"So what now, will you just let me go ?" I said staring at my plate.

"Eh, sorry Remus. I am the head of this mission and just can't let this issue go. You will have to be an example so that nothing like happens again." he said, guilt and sympathy in his voice.

I felt my throat tighten up, I was so angry at myself. I don't even know why.

"I thought you said it was not my mistake. not all of it." I said.

"I believe in you, but all the people who are in charge of S.P.O.R.E beside me want that you should be punished" he replied, I stared at my plate.

"So, umm" I took a big gulp of air to control my voice from breaking " What's the punishment?" I said faking some cheerfulness. 

"I know it's a bit harsh, but" he paused for a second " you will be separated from everybody else for the next 3 months." 

"Huh, what? I looked at him, 'separated echoed in my head. I was confused.

"Yes you will be trained separately, ah, you have to study alone, eat alone, no friends of people for the next 3 months," he said looking guilty, though I know he would have tried his best to make the punishment as bearable as possible. And how hard will it be to train alone? "Though you will have the same teachers"

Dad went through all the rules of the punishment, he told me that now I will have my room at spoke different location on the ship( which was cool). I will tell Nyx all about this. Oh, god. I forgot about Nyx. And Dextera. Oh no, I realized that now. 

"So, I will not be able to contact anyone except the teachers?" I asked sounding as normal as possible.

He nodded. " They think that you are unstable with other kids" 

"So they think I am mentally unstable." I mocked a laugh.

but inside I was feeling horrible. I felt the taste of bile on my tongue. 3 months I will be separated from all people. 

but It is just my second day. They will think that I am insane or something.

but he was not that much hurt. I would not be able to talk to Nyx.

but it was not all your fault. No fun. And oh gosh ill miss breakfast with Dex.

The coach was not there when I walked out of my Dad's office. I was unable to remember the way but hoped to find it.

Wait, Now I can see some more of this school,(the bad angel said inside me)

I took small steps towards a corridor I was sure I didn't come from. The atmosphere was cold, I walked changing directions every so often. Even if I was lost I can ask Kiwi. I passed a room in which some engineers were working and making some kind of car that was spindle-shaped, I ducked around the window and moved forward. 

I walked and walked, looking at all kinds of stuff. There were rooms full of weapons, Rooms full of trampolines, et Cetra. 

I tried not to think about the punishment.

I checked the time it was 19:50 already. I was standing at an intersection, One side of the corridor was glowing dimly, curious I walked there.

I turned and saw the most magnificent view I could come across. The room was circular made up of all glass. With a platform that ended in the middle of the room. Earth was looking gorgeous. Half covered with sulfur clouds half with Ice and little with water. The orangish blue sphere glowed spectacularly. 

The punishment will start tomorrow. 

I tried to push away my thoughts and empty my mind.

It was hard.

I don't know for how much time I stood there watching the scenery, but it was 21:23 when I arrived in my dormitory. Nyx was waiting with his room's gate open.

He asked me about what happened. I told him all the good stuff first.

"The food was tasty" I grinned.

"Jammy had 2 stitches" Nyx grinned

I frowned.

"Served him right," Nyx said.

I went to bed and had a dreamless sleep. I will tell Nyx in the morning. He will be miserable. 

I am too.
