        A new day had soon arrived for me. After I got dressed and grabbed my backpack I headed outside. As I was walking down the steps I saw David waiting for me.
"Morning Susan.", he said.
"Morning David.", I said with a smile, I hugged him and he hugged back.
"So you ready to head to class?", David asked.
"Yep, um do you have Mr. Winters today?"
"I do. Do you have his class today?"
"Yes I do. This will be interesting." As we entered the building I then remembered something.
"Hey David, have you been hearing about this revolution stuff?", I asked.
"Yeah I heard about it, I also heard that the school is saying neutral from this stuff."
"I see...Well the head master probably wants to make sure the students are safe. Especially since a good amount of us here are exchange students."
"I guess so but still." As soon as David was about to speak more we arrived at the classroom and went inside.
(One class session later)
      "Standing up for what you believe in is one thing, taking a stand is another, sometimes you'll catch yourselves at a crossroad when in battle. For example, if you have the power to easily defeat your opponent, the next step is to decide the finishing blow, live or die. Similar to that there's also the potential clash of ideals, which brings you to another crossroad.", said Mr. Winters.
"What do you do in that situation sir?", Andy asked.
"Much like the finishing blow, it's entirely up to you as the fighter in question." Pretty soon the bell went off.
"It appears my time for today is up, have a nice day.", said Mr. Winters. I grabbed my things, as I was walking out I noticed Andy stayed behind, but I didn't want to bother them.
"So Susan, when will you introduce me to your friends?", asked David.
"Probably at lunch, we usually sit together.", I said.
"All right, listen I need to take of something so I'll see you later ok?"
"Ok, I love you.", I hugged him.
"I love you too.", he hugged back and then let go and walked off.
'Great now I don't know what to do since I still have a couple hours until lunch, I guess I'll go back and explore that garden, I have a feeling there is something hidden there.', I thought. So I headed off. Once I got to the garden area I noticed something blocked by vines.
"Hmm, there might be something hidden here." I tried to removed the vines but they were hard to remove.
"All right then, let's see if some energy will get rid of them." I charged up her bracelet and fired some energy and sure enough the vines went away.
"Ha, that was a piece of cake. Hey its a door, interesting." I tried to pull on it but it was locked.
"Rats, it needs a key... wait a sec." I reached into my bag and pulled out a key.
"I wonder if this key I found a couple days ago will open the door." She decided to try it and she heard a click.
"Haha yes its unlocked!", I said.
"Susan?", someone spoke. I froze in place.
'Uh-oh I'm caught...' I turned around and saw that it was Theresa. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh Theresa it's you. Geez don't scare me like that.", I said.
"Sorry it's just I saw you wander in here and I wanted to see what you were doing.", she said.
"Well I found this door here and I just unlocked it, I wonder what's down here, hey do you want to come?"
"I don't know, what if we get into trouble?"
"Hardly anyone comes here, I think we will be ok, besides I have the key to this place."
"All right if you say so."
"Hey mind helping me open the door? It's a tad rusty.", I asked. Theresa agreed. After a minute we got it opened. When we looked down there was a stairway heading underground. The steps didn't look all that old and there was a light switch near the doorway, I turned it on and surprisingly the light worked.
"Come on Theresa let's go. Oh and try to leave the door slightly open I don't know if it locks on its own but better safe then sorry."
"Ok." I headed down first, when she got halfway Theresa started down and closed the door slightly. As she met halfway Theresa grabbed my hand and we continued down the steps until we reached another door, I twisted the knob and surprisingly it opened, but it was dark, I got a sense of fear, I didn't like the dark and who knows what could be lurking down here. Theresa squeezed my hand just to calm my down. She's so sweet and she's also adorable.
"J-just be ready to fight in case something is down here.", I said in a nervous tone. Theresa nodded. I noticed on the right side of me was another light switch, I reached over and flicked it up and the light's went on.
"Ready Theresa?"
"Ready Susan."
"One, two, three!" When we opened the door surprisingly nothing attacked us but what we found was surprising. The room was quite large and it was clean. There were a number of bunk beds lining the walls, and on one side of the room there was a tv, a computer and a radio with a headset.
"Wow Susan what is this place?", asked Theresa.
"I don't know Theresa, but let's have a look around." Theresa let go of my hand and we began to explore. As we were searching I found some crates containing canned food and drinking water, it was still good for to eat and drink, and Theresa found a number of first aid kits and a backup generator, there was even a couple sinks with running water and 2 working toilets.
"What do you think this place is Susan?", asked Theresa.
"Hmm, well judging from what we found here, I think this place is a storm shelter."
"Storm shelter?"
"Yeah, in case there was a hurricane or a tornado or a huge storm I'm sure this would be where they would evacuate the students and staff and they would stay here since this place seemed to be underground."
"Do you think the head master knows about this place?"
"I'm not sure, but maybe, I don't know much about this city, I don't know if they even get bad storms. This place must not have been used for a long while. So how is it still in such great condition?" I then noticed the time on my cellphone.
"Oh geez it almost lunch time we better get going!" We shut off the lights and quickly got back outside and shut the door and locked it and covered it with new vines.
"Well that sure was interesting, and thanks for the little adventure Susan.", said Theresa.
"Yeah your welcome. Come on let's head back." The two of us headed back to the school and good timing too David was walking off to the school. Theresa said goodbye and she left and I caught up with David.
      When we got our lunch I found Andy and his friends already sitting there.
"Hey guys.", she said.
"Hey Susan glad you could join us, you seem a bit happier today.", said Andy.
"Yeah, um guys, I wanted to introduce you guys to someone if that's ok?"
"Si Susan, who is it?", asked Federico. Pretty soon David came up and sat next to me.
"That would be me, hello you four.", he said.
"Oh David, it's nice to see you again.", said Chessly. The other three said hi too.
"Wait, you guys already know each other?", I said slightly surprised.
"Yeah, he's in a couple of our classes.", said Andy.
"Oh well, um funny thing, I mentioned before about my boyfriend's death, um well, funny things is, this is actually him."
"Say what?", said Andy.
"I knew it, I had a feeling this David was the same one Susan was talking about.", said Chessly.
"But how are you alive?", asked Andy.
"It's a long story.", he said. So the 6 spent the rest of lunch talking with each other and learning some things, but I could have sworn that I saw Federico glare at David during the conversation. At the end of the day I said goodbye to my friends and went back to my dorm and went to sleep. But little did I realize, one of the teachers had decided to take matters into his own hands about the revolution...
