“Well, yeah. It belongs to the head student in the school, you know: Belladonna Nightshade, who can control poison and flowers. She is also Maddie’s enemy. Maddie mostly excels at making dark potions, which are more offensive, while Belladonna never makes dark potions. She makes light potions, which can heal and cure some stuff,” she said.

“Then… which is stronger? Light or dark?”I said.

“Don’t ask me! You know I failed chemistry and alchemy,” she replied, rolling her eyes.

“Well, you failed it because you ditched almost every one of those classes, didn’t you? Oh, and I thought Belladonna could control poison, right? But she makes light potions!” I exclaimed.

“No. Poison is neither light nor dark,” said Vivian.

“How come you know all of this?”

“I told you! I am excellent at researching and computer stuff,” she said, annoyed.

“Okay…” I said. A few awkward minutes passed.

“Wait! What is that thing?” I gasped, pointing at a ball of fur and another clump of spikes.

“Oh, it’s nothing. That's my guinea pig, Fluffy, and my pet porcupine, Spikey,” she sighed.

“What do you need a porcupine and guinea pig for?” I asked, laughing.

“Porcupine spikes are good for hacking, and guinea pigs are good for helping me calm down,” she said.

“Wait, spikes are good for hacking!?" I exclaimed, not believing what she said.

“Yeah. You guys probably don’t understand,” she said.

“Oh well. We will probably need more people on our side to fight those bad people. So, we should go convince somebody to help us,” I said.

“First things first. We still need to find out where they are hiding,” she said, going through some security cameras.

“That’s going to be hard. How about we go to one of the telepaths in the school? They can sense thoughts and stuff,” I said.

“Or the Spirit Travelers, since they can see everything that’s happening in places they are close to. They can probably see the whole school,” she suggested.

“Sure! Let’s go find one of them tomorrow, since tomorrow is Monday, during lunch break,” I said.
