Marta was in a very good mood today, but she often found her mind wandering. Ever since noticing Jackson, she had seemed to notice every boy. It was so weird. She’d had to ask Sterling or Elyse about it. It was just a new thing. She skipped on her way to the Fortress of Noxitude. Ricky let her walk if she felt up for it. She knew the way and was safe. Besides - she knew the drones made sure she was safe there.
Marta entered the building, Splash at her side. She gave her a pat on the head as she headed down to the dojo. She was going to relax a bit before the other kids would show up and they’d head to Kallisti together. She was also hoping Jackson would show up early, but who knew. She’d didn’t even know what she’d say anyway. He probably thought she was ugly and stupid.
When she got down the stairs there were two men there. One she recognized as Nox, and it was the first time she had seen him in person since Mexico. He looked a little worse for wear now and not so happy as he had back then. Then there was another man. She didn’t know who he was, but she had the feeling she wasn’t supposed to be here.
”Sorry!” she said, taking only a tentative step back.
