"Kyle, always watch your back. Even people you trust can turn on you."

Looking up at my mom, I frowned. "But I trust you."

I saw the same look of guilt that always came across her face when she taught me about being a Zerian. "Except for your family. We will never betray you."

"I just wanna play with Kaleb. Why can't I?" I whined.

"Baby, it's too dangerous."

"But he's my friend."

My dad sighed. "This is ridiculous. Kyle, no one is your friend in this world. It's cruel but its reality."

My mom scolded my dad as I felt tears starting to form. My sister walked towards me. "Tears are for the weak." She said.

"That's my girl." My dad praised.

His phone started ringing and he looked away. At that moment my sister gave me an apologetical smile and handed me something.

I glanced at my hands and smiled.
"I'll just play in my room."

My mom nodded. "Don't forget to try and hack the files I gave you."

Smiling, I nodded. "I'll do it later."

Without waiting for a reply, I raced upstairs. I heard my sisters footsteps behind me. They were so silent but I was taught to identify even the slightest of movements.

As soon as we were behind closed doors, I hugged my sister.

"Thank you. I really wanted to play this game."

My sister laughed, a sound so full of joy and life that it made me smile wider.

"Your welcome. But don't let mom and dad see you play it. They'll kill me."

I nodded. "I will be careful." I promised, inserting the small disk into my laptop.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The sound of my finger against the keyboard started increasing.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Stop.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The sound grew until it started to become a banging sound.

"Kyle. Open the freaking door."

"Ugh. What do you want." I demanded, half asleep. "I was having a dream."

"Open the door."

"No."

"Fine." I heard Zoey say.

After a few seconds my door swung open, reveling a very ticked off Zoey.

I lazily sat up in bed and raised my eye brow. "You called?"

"What's wrong with you! Do you know what time it is?" Zoey demanded.

I yawned. "I know it's too early for me to deal with you."

Zoey closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Get up. You already missed two classes."

I rolled my eyes. "You woke me up because I missed two classes?"

"Exactly. Get up, we don't have time for slackers here."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine. I'll join you and Des in Advanced Tech."

"How did you know we had Advanced Tech?"

Getting up from bed, I stretched. "Oh ya. I hacked into your private accounts last night and checked your schedule."

Zoey blistered, face turning red. "How dare you! You have no right to go through something that isn't yours!"

I sighed. "Either you get out or I start changing while you'r standing there."

Zoeys face turned red. "You wouldn't."

I shrugged. "Try me."

We stared at each other for a minute before she huffed and left. Before shutting the door, she called over her shoulder.

"Don't think we don't know anything about you."

I chuckled. How cute, she thinks she can play this game.

Getting dressed, I thought about my dream. This wasn't the first time I'd had it but it still managed to make me smile.

My sister always had my back.

I stepped out of my room locking the door behind me. I patted my pocket to see if my ID was still there.

"Hey Kyle. Zoey sent me here to get you. She seemed pissed off."

I sighed. "I know my way around Des. I don't need an escort."

"Of course not. The almighty Kyle never needs help." Des chuckled.

I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes and smirked. Was he really trying to get on my nerves.

"Thank you. I am almighty, aren't I?"

We entered the elevator and waited until it got to our designated floor.

Des whistled along to the horrible elevator music.

"You must spend a lot of time in the elevator if you know the tune of this horrid music."

Des chuckled. "Something like that."

The elevator opened and we walked to the single door. I placed my ID card and it opened. We walked the long hallway. After making a quick right, we found the class marked Advanced Tech.

"Welcome to my territory." Des said, opening the door.

All eyes turned towards us as we entered the class.

"Nice of you to finally show up." The teacher, a short female, said.

"My pleasure. It must be an honor for you to have such a talented person breathing the same air as you." I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

The teacher narrowed her eyes. "And who are you?"

"I'm Kyle."

Suddenly she stood up tall, her face expression turning into one of disbelief.

"You're the Kyle?".

"In the flesh." I replied with a slight smirk as I noticed Zoey sitting in the front row, rolling her eyes with irritation.

"It's an honor to have you in class."

"I know."

Des grumbled under his breath. "Thanks for noticing your top student."

"Jealousy doesn't sound good on you." Without waiting for a reply, I walked towards an empty seat next to a girl.

"Mind if I sit here?"

The girl opened her mouth to speak but I interrupted her.

"Of course you don't. And if you do, you can move."

That said, I sat down and faced the computer.

The teacher cleared her throat as Des took his seat next to Zoey.

"Ok. So where was I? Oh right......"

Half way through class someone raised their hands and I immediately recognized Damon.

"What's your question Damon?" The teacher asked.

"My question is for Zoey and Des."

I rolled my eyes. I've noticed that Zoeys team and Damon's team were always competing, trying to prove that they were the more skilled team in the school.

Zoey gave him a deadly smile. "Yes?"

"Well I was wondering, Zoey, as leader of your group, do you know enough about your teammates?"

Zoey barked a laugh. "Of course. Do you Damon?"

"Absolutely. But how do you know these informations? Have you hacked into their files?"

I watched as Zoey gave him a smirk. "That wouldn't be necessary. My team and I are open with one another."

I clapped my hands slowly and everyone looked at me. "Oh sorry. I was just applauding Zoey for her correct use of grammar."

Zoey glared at me and I gave her a wink.

"Wait a minute. Kyle, no one knows much about you, am I right?" Damon asked.

I smirked. "No one knows anything about me."

"I'm guessing no one can actually find anything about you on the Internet?" Damon went on.

"They can try but it would be useless."

Damon turned to Zoey. "So I bet you know nothing about Kyle and yet he is a part of your team."

I rolled my eyes, ready to tell him off when Zoey interrupted.

"Actually, we know a lot about him."

I raised my eye brow. "Oh really?".

"Yes Kyle. You act like you're all that but Des here has actually hacked into your personal files."

I chuckled. "Is that so?"

Des nodded, a smug look on his face. "Yup."

Students started whispering all around us, shocked that someone could outsmart one of The Main.

I let Des have his moment of glory as he sat there completely proud. As the chattering died down, I cleared my voice.

"Was it hard?"

Des nodded. "It was pretty good but I managed to find it. I like the way you hid some of the information in a file under the name of a person who doesn't exist. That was smart but once I realized that, it was a matter of patience and skills."

I nodded. "I really am a genius."

Des frowned as Zoey asked. "What?"

"Have you stopped to consider that I might have purposely given you information that was false?"

Everyone went dead silent as I started at Zoey and Des.

Des shook his head. "The security was really tough. Why would you spend so much time doing that?"

I shook my head. "I'm not an idiot. I know many people want to track me down, read personal files. Naturally I created fake information about myself to throw them off track. One day I noticed someone was trying to hack into some of my information and when I realized it was Des, I knew I had to make it hard so it didn't look suspicious."

Des looked at me, eyes wide open. "So it was a fake."

I laughed. "Tell me, did you and Zoey really believe that I had once stolen the Mona Lisa? Because if you thought that was real, then I should reconsider what team I should be placed in."

That said, I got up and started walking away when the teacher stopped me

"Class isn't over yet."

I waved my hand as a sign of dismissal for what she said. "Let me tell you guys something. Don't try to outsmart me. I am not someone you can mess with."

I turned towards Zoey. "Next time you try to embarrass me or insult me, I won't let it go easily. I'll make you pay."

I smirked as everyone stared at me with wide eyes. These were the next generation of ruling Zerians? They were no better than humans.

********

"When you're going against an opponent, one on one, you must not get distracted. You must not get tired. Don't use your energy at first, let him think he has the upper hand. Make him think he is winning, that he will win." Mr. Koffee said as the class looked up at him.

I yawned. "Mr. Koffee." I called out.

I could see the irritation written all over his face. "What?" he barked out.

"I was three years old when I learnt this. Can you not state the obvious? It's making me quite sleepy."

"Then get the hell out of my class."

"I would be glad to but you see, it wouldn't be fun. I enjoy seeing that nasty vein on your forehead."

I heard a few students gasp and saw Zoey gritting her teeth out of anger and shooting me a death glare.

"Get up and give me twenty."

"Twenty bucks? Nah I'm broke."

Mr. Koffee walked right up to me and grabbed my shirt and pulled me to my feet. Then he proceeded to lift me off the ground.

I looked him in the eye. "Well this is highly uncomfortable."

"Listen here, cockroach. I will not listen to you insult and make fun of me. Either show some respect or I'll teach it to you the hard way."

"Aw come on. Did I offend you? I'm sorry." I sarcastically said.

Mr. Koffee stared at me, his eyes deadly. "At least I said sorry. I showed respect." I said.

He threw me towards the wall head first but before I crashed, I managed to turn my body so that my feet hit the wall and I hopped right back off before landing on my feet.

"Now see there. That was some fun action." I said, dusting my hands on my jeans.

"Sit down before I smash your head." Mr. Koffee threatened.

I winked at him before taking a seat.

Mr. Koffee took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

"As I was saying, make your opponent think your losing. Once you see his energy is drained, you go full force. Now partner up and I want to see a good combat."

I saw Zoey smirk as she got up. She was one of the best here so of course she felt right at home.

I saw Jared walk up to her and talk to her. After a while they moved to one of the mats and started facing off one another.

I watched quietly, seizing up their weaknesses and strengths. I shook my head as Jared put Zoey in a deadly headlock.

She should have seen that coming. It was his plan from the beginning.

I got up and walked towards where they were.

"Zoey, I expected more from you." I mocked as she tried to get out of the headlock.

"Shut. Up." she managed to breath out.

"You need to read your opponents body language. Guess what he is going to do before he does it."

Jared looked at me, face red. "We are kinda busy here."

I ignored him.

Then without any warning, Zoey went slack in Jared's hand and he looked down, confused. He was distracted for a second but that was all she needed.

In a shockingly flexible way, she swung her feet under his and tripped him. He let her go and tried to catch his balance but it was too late.

She grabbed his arm before he hit the ground, twisted it behind his back.

I laughed. "Now to make sure he feels pain, place it between his should blades."

"I don't need your help." Zoey said but did what I said.
.

Jared yelled out. "Ok ok. You win. You win."

Zoey let him go, a smile in place.

Before she could say anything, I turned around and started walking away. Des was sitting on his own, nose bleeding.

"I see you got beat up." I commented.

Des shrugged, a smile in place. "You should see the bruise I gave him."

I chuckled. "Where is Rob by the way? He never comes to class."

Des nodded. "He only comes to weapon class." He explained as Zoey made her way towards us

"Why?"

Zoey shrugged. "Beats me."

"Shouldn't you guys ask why he doesn't show up?"

"We have but he just shrugs it off."

"And you let him get away with it? Shouldn't you investigate?" I asked.

Zoey glared at me. "Why should I? Dr. Jarson is well aware of this fact and doesn't say anything so why should we?"

"Well he is clearly hiding some thing."I argued.

"That doesn't concern us." Des said. "He isn't harming anyone so why should we invade his privacy."

"How do you know he isn't harming anyone?"

"Because." Zoey said.

"Because what?"

"We know he won't do anything to hurt anyone!" Zoey yelled.

"How are you so sure?"

"It's called trust."

"No, it's called stupidity."

Des shook his head. "Kyle, just drop it."

I shrugged. "I really don't care anyway."

"Good." Zoey said.

"Well I'm tired so I'm going." I said.

"Where are you going, we still have class." Des said.

"There is nothing here you can teach me and I'm wasting my time."

"So your leaving the school like the coward you are?" Zoey asked

"No. I'm going to take action because I'm not some wimp who waits until someone strikes." I countered.

"Are you calling us wimps?"

I raised my hand. "I'm really not in the mood to deal with this so I'm leaving." I didn't wait for a reply as I walked away.

"Kyle. Where do you think you're going?!" Mr. Koffee demanded.

I rolled my eyes. "To watch a freaking movie."

Mr. Koffee stared at me. "Get your butt here now."

I waved my hand in a sign of dismissal. "I need to pee."

Ignoring the stares from my class mates, I walked out. It was about time I visited Dr. Jarson.
