"That's easy, you're a..."Mystery drawed trying to figure it out himself.
"I'm a what?"Crystal asked raising a brow.
"Well that's a tough one, I don't know what u are"he replied in disbelief,for the first time ever he couldn't point out what someone was.
"You're kidding right?"Crystal asked with narrowed eyes.
Mystery stood up and tucked his hands in his pants pocket.
"Never in my life have this happened to me before, all I can say is that you're a unique creature, you're not human"he said in a low tone and began walking towards the fog leaving Crystal confused and worried.
"I shouldn't have come"she muttered and began heading to her dorm dejected,her shoulders slumped in disappointment.
She returned to her dorm and slumped on the bed still remembering what Mystery had said.
*'you're not human'*
"Not human?,then what am I?"she muttered to herself while staring at the ceiling unable to fall asleep.
The next morning, Crystal opened her eyes and shrieked seeing Delilah's face so close to hers.
"The heck Delilah"she said sitting up.
"Did I wake u?"
"Were you planning to?"
"Maybe, ion know"Delilah replied looking thoughtful.
"Why are you here so early in the morning?"Crystal asked rubbing her eyes.
"Early?, it's almost noon"
"Noon?, I overslept?!"Crystal exclaimed and sprang out of bed and grabbed her clothes.
"Where are you going?"
"Bath house"she replied and ran out closing the door not knowing the black smoke with the pair of red eyes watching her.
* * * * *
Crystal finished up with her bath and rushed to meet them at the lunchroom.
"Hey Crystal"Danny said waving.
"Overslept?"Melina asked with a raised brow.
"Yh, for the first time ever"Crystal replied taking a seat.
"Happens to the best of us"Claudia said.
"Remember when Markus slept till dawn?"Delilah asked and chuckled.
"Not nice"Markus said with a frown.
"U guys are the first friends I've ever had and I'm grateful"Crystal said with a smile.
"Don't fret, we've got your back always"Danny said.
"Totally"Melina said.
"Oh shoot"Adrian muttered and they turned noticing Mystery heading towards their table.
Crystal frowned when he got towards her and passed her a note then walked away heading to the lunch line.
Crystal opened the note and rose a brow then turned to his direction but he wasn't looking her way.
'Meet me tonight, same place as last night, don't be late.
M.Y'
He wasn't serious right?
She thought to herself but scoffed and squeezed the note flinging it into the recycling bin.
"What did the note say?" Adrian asked.
"Unimportant shit"she replied and began eating her food.
"Are you two close or something?"Markus asked.
"Not at all,she just shot him during the color war"Melina replied.
"Woah, really?"Danny asked in shock.
"Yh,no big deal"Crystal shrugging her shoulders.
"It is a very big deal"Markus said with wide eyes.
"Remember when Calvin a point higher than him?"Danny asked.
"Of course I do, broke seven of his arms and beat him badly, the guy ate through a straw for weeks"Markus replied shivering.
"He did what?!"Crystal exclaimed,her mouth agape.
"Yh, dude's brutal"Claudia said.
Crystal stared in shock not bothering to eat anymore,her appetite has left her,it ran for it's dear life.
As the others continued to eat,a joyful figure approached them.
"Hey Crystal"he said taking a seat by her.
"Oh hey Xander, nice to see you again"Crystal replied with a smile.
"You're a beast?"Delilah asked.
"Yes I am"
"He's a dragon beast"Crystal said playing with his horns.
"Hey, quit it"he said,his ears turning red.
"Don't tell me you're blushing?"Danny asked.
"No one asked u"Xander retorted,his ears even redder and everyone burst into laughter.

Back at the Davis house...
"Clara, why haven't you washed the dishes?"Martin asked.
"That's Crystal's job"she replied polishing her nails.
"What about the trash and the cleaning?"he asked.
"The trash hasn't toppled over yet,it stinks too. I'm too tired to do the cleaning"Clara complained.
"Are you out of your mind?!!"Martin yelled.
"Don't yell at my daughter,u got rid of yours and you want to trouble mine?, not possible"Morine said coming to her daughter's aid.
"If she can't do the chores then u do it or you're both getting out of my house!"he snapped and walked away.
The two ladies looked at each other.
"Mom, we're getting Crystal back"...
