It took another 45 minutes for them to finally get to the school. Finding a parking spot was another pain altogether as they still had evening classes and other activities going on. Kai got out of the car and ran out onto the sidewalk and through the doors with Kokona close in toe. He stopped seeing Rachel, a red-haired banshee. He wasn't exactly fond of her and the feeling was mutual but she was good friends with Himari. "Rachel, have you seen Himari?"

Rachel gave Kai a smug look, "yeah, she's in the computer lab, its locked up for the night but she has a key." She crossed her arms, "something wrong?"

Kai shook his head. "Something about a project she needed help with, nothing to worry about." He lied as he ran past her. Kokona stopped crouching down in exhaustion...

"I can handle it." She said crossly as she looked at the screen.

What she saw made her blood boil, her fists clenched tightly as she got up from the chair... "Lies..." She muttered, her eyes were dark as she looked toward the floor. "It's not true... any of it."
