Lily and I both made our way to the Principal's office.

"Allen what happened?! What did my brother say…?" she asked while trying to match my pace.

"I'll tell you everything soon just wait," I said.

"We are coming in," I said loudly in front of the Principal's door and opened it.

"… What happened? Why is she looking so out of breath?" does she not know?

"Make sure that the survivors from the incident including Harry and Lily do not leave the school premises today," I said.

"Oh, so you heard about it? I know the reason and have already taken action for it. Lucas called me and told me everything. Soon there will be an announcement and they all have to come to this office so there is nothing to worry about for now." 'for now' means, that it's not completely safe.

[Allen, Selene, Liz, Peter, Roy, Emma, Alice, Lily, Anna, Alex, Noah, and Harry is requested to come to the Principal's office.] An announcement was made but why did she call the others? Alex nor Noah are related to the incident so why? Ah, also Anna.

"I called them because it would be suspicious if only the students from the incident were called suddenly so just to be precautious I called them also," she must have understood from my facial expression that I wanted to know why she called them. If it's her then I think it's going to be alright, I just have a gut feeling.

School was about to end soon. They all will be here soon. To be honest I would have preferred if she took them to another room or somewhere else instead of calling here. It's going to be crowded here soon.

I sat on the sofa. The Principal was looking at something through her computer while Lily was standing, she was also fidgeting a little. Is she not feeling well? That's not good then, she can't go to the washroom yet. If she isn't feeling well she should sit down.

I signaled Lily to sit across me but she tried refusing at first but I insisting her sitting. It would not feel right if I am the only one sitting and she is standing. She sat on the couch after many tries but she looked a little pale.

"Are you okay, Lily?" I asked her."

"…" she didn't respond and was just starring on the floor. Is something on the floor?

"Lily?" I called out to her again.

"… Ah! Wh-what happened?" she was startled.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Me? Y-yeah I'm okay…" she said. But your expression is saying otherwise.

"Are you sure?" I asked again.

"I'm just fine…!" she yelled out a little. But since she is saying she feeling fine I can't dig further nor do I intend to. We aren't that close so I shouldn't pursue saying anything further.

"Quite down will you," she said.

The principal didn't even took look at us. I mean if a person suddenly yells it's natural that everyone would at least take look even though they aren't interested. She was least bothered by us. Well, the situation is somewhat critical right so I guess it's much better to give that matter more importance rather than some dispute between kids.

"Um. Excuse me, I was called here. My name is Noah," Noah was the one who was called out first. But the extra students she called here are from my class only. Was it intentional or was it a coincidence?

"Yes, come in," she said.

"…" he walked in and as soon as he saw me sitting on the sofa he was petrified. What happened to him?

"So, um. Why was I called out here…?" he asked politely. He was also fidgeting just like Lily. What happened to both of them? Is there something that I can't see? What's going on with them?

"… Just wait there," she said. She could have told him to sit on the couch but I guess she want to maintain her discipline. I mean if a teacher is getting too frank with students the power they used to hold will decrease and the students will not take you that seriously as they used to. Maybe I should also stand beside him. It would look weird if only Lily and I are the ones sitting here.

As I was about to stand up someone knocked on the door again. Why are they coming one by one? At least the ones from my class can come together, right?

"Excuse me, my name is Alex, and was told to come here," his voice felt a little shaky.

"Come in."

He also came inside. He saw Noah standing while I was sitting on the couch with Lily.

"What are you doing?" he whispered to me. But he was loud enough for others to hear it. I thought he was an idiot but he really is an idiot.

"Sitting," I said.

"One of you, go stand outside, and if the students from the announcement come send them inside. I can't say 'come in' for every single of you," the Principal said.

"… Yes!" Noah and Alex said in unison.

They both looked at each other wondering who will go now. They both were standing side by side so they whispered something to each other. I couldn't hear them at all. What happened to Alex's loud whispering?

"I said something," she said with a little voice.

"Why don't you both go outside?" I suggested. It was better than, right? No one will have to conflict now. But instead of moving out of the room all three of them were staring at me. What? Did I say something wrong?

"Can't yo-"The Principal was again about to say something but they both left the room in an instant before she could complete her sentence.

"Are all students like this?" she said.

"Maybe I don't know. They must have been surprised that they were called to the Principal's office suddenly," I said.

"A-allen…!" Lily called out my name. Does she have something to say to me?

"That might be the reason."

After waiting for 10 more minutes they all arrived. The room became crowded. That's why I wanted another room. I don't like crowds.

"So, does any of you know why you were all called here?" Principal said.

"… No."

Except for me and Lily, everyone was standing. Well, Anna was daggering eyes at me as always so this was not that different. But what about others? I could understand about her but apparently, others are also looking at me with a dumbfounded faces.

Is something the matter?

Now that I notice it, Lily is also acting weird. Is it that they all are scared of the Principal? I mean I heard someone talking someone saying that the new Principal is kind of strict but to think it's to this extent. Maybe she did something while I was absent, during those 3 weeks the school Principal was changed. This must be it.
