On the next day, in the afternoon at the beginning of a new week, Carmen leaves her school, dressed casually and has her everyday backpack. The girl walked down the stairs, and as she was heading to the bus stop, one of her friends from school approached her.
"Carmen!" says a girl that has dark skin. She originated from Africa.
"Hello, Jasmine," says Carmen to her.
Jasmine is the classmate of Carmen from Year 9. Both of them have been friends since they began the school year, which was almost a month ago. The two of them have formed their own small group, together with another girl, who unfortunately is sick because of a flu she caught three days ago.
At this school, having a different skin is not such a problem as in other parts of school in England, or in Europe, or in the USA, where there are some problematic schools. Being a different skin is no problem there, the people accept anyone. But, let's not talk about the case of Carmen and Kyle, who are totally breaking the barrier between humans and individuals from the second dimension.
"Are you going home?" asks Jasmine to Carmen.
"Yes," says Carmen. "I'm feeling a bit tired."
Carmen lies, she wants to go back to the secret headquarters to go on his beginning of the week analyser. She also made an appointment a few hours ago for Kyle, back when they were at the Cafeteria and eating a normal-looking British meal. There was also Jasmine, who was feeling a little curious about all of this.
"To bad. I thought we could go to the nearest Café and try to help ourselves with our homework in Mathematics."
Even though Carmen was bad at Maths, recently, she made the teacher on this subject almost drop his jaw when he saw Carmen today, finding a solution to a problem for Year 12 students. Last night, Carmen was curious about something in Maths, and she decided to learn about the future subjects that she will be encountering in the future.
And she learns all of them in about an hour and a half.
And today, her teacher in that subject made a challenge for any student.
"If you can find a solution to this problem, on the entire problem. I will personally erase all of the bad grades I've given you."
And in that class, there were a lot of students, besides Carmen, who were getting bad grades in this subject. And Carmen decided to try her luck by resolving this problem.
She did manage to solve the problem in about ten minutes, making the teacher and her classmates' jaws drop. The teacher was so impressed by this, he erased her bad grade she had so far, which was three grades of 4's. Truly an amazing opportunity Carmen had in her scholarship life.
Anyway, back to the present…
Carmen is now being invited out by her friend. She would have accepted it, but she did make an appointment with Kyle to go to the headquarters when school ended. Now, she could have refused Jasmine's invitation, but, Carmen has to do something about her social life to make them not become scared and try to spy on her. A situation where it can happen in movies and it might damage the life of one of my friends.
"I have to be natural," says Carmen to herself. "Otherwise, my friends would be in danger."
"Okay. I will try to sleep." says the inner Vewolf to Carmen's mind.
"Good idea," says Carmen. "Sleep, and when I need you, you wake up-"
Carmen could hear the snores of her inner Vewolf in her head. It is a questionable feeling she never thought she would have. She feels irritated by this, but also curious if this "parasite" either snores to make her believe he is sleeping, or he is actually believing. But, leaving all those behind, Carmen, seeing Jasmine growing questionable by this, she tells her.
"You know what? I would like to grab a coffee."
"Really?" asks Jasmine, happily. "Good. Then we should go. I heard Misu's Tavern has a good offer for Irish Coffee."
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
"Sure," says Carmen, who's walking with Jasmine to the place by the name of "Misu's Tavern".
Kyle walks down the stairs. He sees Carmen walking with her friend Jasmine to somewhere else. The albino teenager, understanding Carmen wanted to have a chat with a friend of hers or her time off, decides to take his phone and writes a lie which will send it to her secret co-worker.
"Something has intervened at my house. I am afraid we have to change the time of the analysing. Sorry." and put an emoji of a guy apologizing in Japanese style.
He sent the message and went to the headquarters, where he would be starting his normal everyday shift after his school life.
***
A few minutes later, Carmen and Jasmine arrived at the place called Misu's Tavern. Upon entering the interior of the building, Carmen notices the seats are not entirely taken, and there are some free seats and tables where she can stay with her friend and do some homework or try to teach Jasmine about Mathematics and Biology.
The interior of this small tavern does look like a normal pub where football fans come over here and drink some decent beverages while they are watching a normal game of their home team, Brighton and Home Albion FC, or any other English team who is either part of the Premier League, or in any other leagues. But most of the football supporters who come here are fans of Brighton & Home Albion FC, and when a fan of Manchester United, Manchester City, or Liverpool comes here, he will either leave with their team victorious or hurt in his ribs.
After the girls have taken their seats, put their backpacks on the table, and go to the cashier's desk to order two Irish cups. After the cashier writes their orders, he tells them like he tells any customer ever: "It will be ready in a moment.". The girls go to their table, and proceed to do some meditation on Biology and Mathematics.
The first ten minutes, these two girls have already finished their mathematics homework. Jasmine thought this would take three hours or more than that. If Carmen had not been there, Jasmine would've had a bad time doing maths homework that consisted of two exercises, that consisted of two j points.
"Carmen. How are you so smart?" asks Jasmine to Carmen, who is taking a drink of her Irish Coffee.
"Um. I have done some meditation in Year 8." responds Carmen to Jasmine in a lie.
"Really? Who was your meditator?"
"Um… A guy named by…" she says while trying to make a face to fool Jasmine to think she is thinking about the name of the man who trained her in school academy to become a person much smarter than her classmates who are tagged as nerds by the people with no dang. "Samuel Hodkinson." responds Carmen after she invented a believed name.
"… Is he from this zone?"
"No. He moved away."
"Where?"
"Last time. I heard he moved to Newcastle."
"Newcastle?"
"Y-Yes. H-He had an offer at a high school."
"Oh… Well… Good for him."
The girls are drinking their coffees and are jumping into the Biology subjects for their homework they have for tomorrow's classes. The subjects of this homework don't look so hard. All they have to do is just to complete the free space of sentences that are stating important facts about a human internal organ, blood, blood type and things like that.
A simple exercise which can make you laugh because almost all of the students would just open Google or check the manual of Biology, and write the answer directly. And it helped the fact that these sentences were exactly like the ones from the manual, but empty spaces on the critical words make sense.
This was no biggie either because these two girls finished the problem in about fifteen minutes. There were more sentences and more research to make the sentence look logical and true in the eyes of a person who studies biology.
The girls are staying at the Tavern for more minutes, doing tall things like gossiping, and looking through their social media. They stay there until they finish their coffees, which Carmen paid for both of them this time. Last time, Jasmine was the one who paid for both of them.
With that, Carmen and Jasmine bid farewell and are going to go in their own direction. Jasmine is going to her home, while Carmen is heading to her workplace.

Later that day, as Carmen arrived at the abandoned Library, before she could say sorry to Kyle, who was in the Library, and checking some information on a book, her leader of Team 4 came into the room.
"Hello, Leader Navy!" says Carmen to her leader.
"Good day, Carmen!" says Navy to the newbie of this team, and he looks at Kyle. "Your patient is here."
"I noticed that," said Kyle, who was looking at the book. He looks at Carmen. He closes the book, and tells her, "Hello, Carmen! Are you prepared for today's operation?"
Carmen sighed to free herself from this kind of anxiety, and told her co-worker.
"Yes. I am ready."
"Good," says Kyle, putting the book back in his place. "Follow me to the Hospital Room."
Kyle and Carmen are walking in the headquarters' technological interior. As these two are walking to the room where Kyle will be analysing the blood of Carmen, Alexia, who was a few moments ago in the living room, reading a novel, she decides to drop it and go there, to help Kyle to check in on Carmen.
As they entered the room, Carmen was put on the metallic table, where Kyle took a tranquillizer from the drawer. He approaches Carmen, he injects it into a vein of Carmen, who was not even trying to stop it or try to dodge the syringe. The girl took the syringe and his substance like nothing.
The girl stood still on that table, slowly falling into a deep sleep that would last for almost three hours. When Carmen was starting to lose vision, she could hear Kyle saying a few things to Alexa, such as: "Bring me the scalpel and an empty syringe.". That was all she could hear before she faded into the dark.
