Eddie swung his body round, "YOU!" He shouted in shock.

"What? Who? What?" Patricia stood up confused, piling out questions.

"Edison, it is you," Mrs. Smith spoke.

"What are you doing here?" Eddie growled.

"Our savings have dropped, I had not choice but to come here," Mrs. Smith explained.

"Does someone want to explain to me what is going on?" Patricia asked, walking away from her desk.

"Um... Patricia... This is my... Mom," Eddie gulped awkwardly.

"Your mum!?" Patricia spat.

"Yeah," Eddie nodded awkwardly.

"That must mean your name is Mrs. Miller, not Smith," Patricia spoke, looking over to her.

"So you're my sons girlfriend?" Mrs. Miller asked, changing the subject.

Patricia and Eddie both lost eye contact with her and dropped their vision to the floor.

"Um, no mom... We broke up," Eddie told her, after a few awkward seconds of silence. He hadn't told his mom about this previously, she had ruined his relationship enough.

"Oh... Sorry," Mrs. Miller apologised.

"When are you leaving this school?" Eddie questioned, changing the subject.

"I'm staying for the whole year," Mrs. Miller informed him.

"The whole year!" Eddie spat, "Why? I don't want you at my school!"

"I need to stay in this school," Mrs. Miller told him calmly and blankly.

"I don't want both of my parents at my school!" Eddie argued.

"Why are you in this room?" Mrs. Miller changed the subject again.

"I need to tell something to Patricia," Eddie briefly explained.

"You can do that in your own time, Edison, now please leave."

"But this is important," Eddie argue, "And its Eddie!"

"You are my son, I can call you what I want. And if it is that important, then please tell me," She demanded.

Eddie chose to ignore his mom's comment, and turned his body to face Patricia, "How much longer have you got in here?"

"About 20 minutes. What is going on?" Patricia hissed.

"Meet you at the house in 20 minutes then," Eddie whispered,before darting out of the classroom.

"I really think that Nina created it," Mara spoke, as her Fabian and Charlie all walked back to the house.

"She would never do something like that!" Fabian snapped, glaring at her aggressively.

"Think about it, Fabian," Mara began, "Nina is the one who told us about the Chosen One and Osirian, Nina is the one who found the website and Nina is the one who needs the elixir. It doesn't make sense if it's anyone else."

"I don't really know that much about Nina, but Mara does seem right," Charlie chirped in.

"She wouldn't do something like that," Fabian growled.

"Okay," Mara spoke, "Just hear me out, I say we secretly watch what Nina is up to to find out the truth."

"Let's just ask her, then you can find out the truth," Fabian defended Nina.
