I ran to the subway station and quickly went down the stairs to reach the station only to see the train moving forward, leaving the station behind, I quickly glance at the station clock, which indicated that it was 2 hours until the arrival of the next train.
With a helpless sigh I climb the stairs to reach the station entrance.
Arriving, I pull my phone out of my pocket to call a cab, when I hear a muffled scream, alarmed I quickly start dialing the emergency number, when I see a young man in a mismatched uniform close to my age coming out of an empty alley near me.
With a flat expression he approaches me.
- Phone," he said as he extended his hand towards me, stopping a couple of steps away.
- I don't understand," I replied reflexively.
- Phone, broken," he said as he pulled a broken cell phone out of his pockets.
- I see," I mumbled as I handed him my phone.
He quickly dialed a phone number and turned around, without being able to hear any of his conversation I started to look at his clothes.
He was wearing a dark red shirt along with a set of black formal pants and shoes, without warning he turns to my direction and extends his arm to hand me my phone.
- For you," he says after handing me my cell phone.
Confused, I look at the number on the screen without recognizing it and bring it close to my ear.
- I'm Leo Bosco, I'm sorry for asking this but I need a favor from you.
- it's not something you ask for the first time you meet a stranger, leo bosco.
- I know, but I'm in a bind you know, person unknown," he said with a bitter laugh.
- What favor do you need?
- Will you do it? Fantastic, I need you to take my . Cousin to Unity High School.
- I haven't agreed to do your favor, I just want to know what I get in return, and to change the subject, why can't your cousin go to high school himself?
- He's new in town, thanks anyway, I have to go.
- Hey, I'm not done talking yet! -I said as I heard the call cut off.

- Apparently you're not very talkative," I said as I selected the destination from my cell phone.- It doesn't matter," he said shortly, marking the beginning of a suffocating silence inside the cab.
The cab slowly began to slow to a stop, suddenly an electronic voice began to indicate that we had arrived at our destination, getting out of the cab we see a large entrance for vehicles with a fence of metal rods that allow us to see through them the large expanse of grass to several buildings scattered throughout the place.
- Well, welcome to Unity High School," I said as I turned to the back.
- mmm," Jack nodded as he glanced from right to left, taking in the red brick wall and then pulled out his notebook and began to write.
- (and again with the notebook), do you have your student I.D. yet?
- no," he said shortly as he put his notebook away.
- Okay, please follow me," I said as I turned around and started walking to the pedestrian door on my right.
With a few steps I reach the door and then quickly pull out my ID and slide in the card reader next to the door opening it to see a stone path.
Without saying anything we continue walking until we reach the stairs of a mansion.
- This is the administration office, tell them you are a new student, someone will guide you to your classroom," I said as I pointed to the doors of the mansion.
- Thank you," said Jack as he extended his hand.
- You're welcome," I replied as I shook his hand and felt a familiar roughness from his hand.
- I'm glad you're getting along well with your new partner, Miss Stone.
- Principal April! -I said as she stepped out of the doorway.
