At the same time…Near the Pyramids…

In a small town located near the tourist site of the Aztec Pyramids…a small boy just stole some food from a restaurant…

“LADRON…LADRON…NO HUYAS!” (THIEF…THIEF…DON’T RUN AWAY!)

Two men chase after a boy who has a bag of bread. The boy looks like he comes from poverty because he has his clothes all torn up.

“Ha…ha…I won’t make it…Quetzi…help…” The boy slows down, soon a serpent comes out of his clothes. The serpent, who has rainbow colors, heads towards the men chasing after the boy.

The serpent spreads its body as a rope. The men pass through the serpent without them noticing and stumble.

(PPUUMMM)

“Qué fue eso, una cuerda?” (What was that, a rope?) The men look confused at their feet. The boy uses the opportunity to escape. After a few minutes, the boy rested a little as he got tired of running.

The serpent catches up to him; “Quetzi…thank you…”

“SSS….it is my pleasure…but Adihe…you must get this to your sister…”

“I know, I just needed to rest and I was waiting for you…” Adihe stands up and grabs Quetzi. He walks down the small jungle; “Hey, Quetzi…how long are we going to live like this? I hate to steal food…”

“SSS…stay strong Adihe…your mother wants you to live…”

Adihe stops, tears begin to come out as he remembers his mother.

“SSS…SORRY…I DIDN’T WANT YOU TO CRY!”

“Don’t worry, I’m a man, I shouldn’t cry…” Adihe continues to walk. Behind them, a silhouette appears, the silhouette is El Muerto with his mask completely white:

“I found you…Kukulkan…”

Hotel Mexica; Estado de México

After exploring the Zocalo. The group decided to go to the Hotel. They soon left the urban area and headed to the place where they would be staying. The five-star hotel was a modern building located in the middle of a lake with a large bridge connecting them.

“WWOOOOWWW” Alejandro and Estephan scream as they see the large hotel. The bus takes them towards the hotel.

“Alright everyone, I want you to behave…we will assign the rooms and roommates when we arrive at the hotel…” Dr. Escobar gives instructions. Uriel, who sits at the end, looks at the window as he thinks about Felicitas and her Mariachi Art.

Marjorie uses this opportunity and sits next to him; “Hey, Uriel?” Uriel looks at her; “Oh Marjorie…is there something you need?”

“I uhmm…well…I wanted to ask if you want to walk at the lake tonight…you know to explore…” Marjorie blushes and avoids looking at him. Uriel feels his heart beating faster:

“If that’s what you want…then I don’t mind…”

“Really?” Marjorie smiles with excitement. Uriel nods in agreement.Marjorie quickly returns to where Marinette and Madeline are. -GYYAAHHH- The girls let out a scream and hug Marjorie.

(ZOOM ZOOM)

Uriel’s phone rings, he looks at a message from Alejandro; “YOU LUCKY DOG!” Uriel looks at both Alejandro and Stephan making a heart with their hands. Uriel chuckles; “I guess this is how it feels like to be a normal teenager.

Uriel looks outside once more, his eyes open wider as he sees the silhouette of what appears to be a woman dressed in white standing in the tree. Uriel blinks and sees again but the woman is gone, making him doubt what he just saw:

“What was that? Was it a ghost or…”

“We’ve arrived…” The students get excited as the bus slowly parks at the entrance of the hotel.

They enter the lobby, the professors go to check in. The students wait at the lobby, each of them separated into their usual groups. Uriel and Leticia sit separated from the rest. Uriel looks at the window wondering what he saw. Leticia reads a book on the couch. Meanwhile, Kasumi, who is feeling much better looks at the restroom’s mirror:

“Oh my, I am looking really pale…”

“Of course you do…you’ve been sick this entire day…” Johanna chuckles as she puts on some lipstick.

“Johanna, do you think that silhouette is actually, Quetz…”

“Kasumi, let’s just enjoy the trip…if it is, then, we prepare for the worst…but for now, I am going to have fun tonight!” Johanna interrupts Kasumi, she winks as she walks outside. Kasumi chuckles:

“You’re always so calm…maybe I should relax as well…” Kasumi looks at the mirror again. Suddenly, she feels sick again and runs to the toilet once more.

“ALRIGHT EVERYONE GATHER UP!” Dr. Ortiz has a list and begins to speak:

“Alright, I will give this list to the Student Council President and he will give you instructions on what you will do…here”

Dr. Ortiz gives the list to Alejandro; “Oh man, why me?” Alejandro looks nervous. He takes a deep breath and begins to speak:

“Alright, so for the roommates, I will give the names of the people who are going to be staying together.”

“So, I would love it if you guys don’t pair me up with those cheese-smelling people…” Ana expresses disgust as she looks at LeFleur.

“What did you say? Well, we wouldn't like to be paired up with you arrogant stupides…” Marinette talks back. Ana gets angry and throws a middle finger at them. Marinnette and Madeline walk towards Ana.

“This is bad, they are going to fight…” Marjorie looks at Victoria and Angela who also have a nervous expression. Crespo and Angel stand in front of Ana; “Back off…unless you want a beatdown…”

Antoine, with a face full of anger, charges straight at Cortes. He prepare to throw a fist:

“Tu paieras” (You will pay)

(PPPUUMMM)

Alejandro, in a blink of an eye, stops them by stepping in the middle.

“So Fast!!” The six students speak at the same time. Alejandro sighs with his eyes closed and explains:

“Look you guys, I understand you don't like each other but bear with it. We are part of the same school and right now, we are together!”

The two girls from France begin to speak in French: “Qui pense-t-il qu'il est, nous ne suivrons pas ses ordres.” (Translates: who does he think he is, we are not going to follow his orders.)

Alejandro listens, goes to where the two girls are, smiles and responds: “Vous devez suivre mes ordres, je suis président du conseil des élèves après tout.” (Translates: You have to follow my orders, I am the student council president after all)

“Oh yeah, he can speak French…I forgot…” Madeleine feels embarrassed. He turns around and puts a serious face:

“Listen all of you, I may be your age but I am still the student council president. I will not tolerate any bad behavior, if you want to fight then grab your stuff and go!! None of you is obligated to stay, but if you decide to stay you will follow my lead. Understand!!!”

Everyone looks surprised hearing his words; “Understood!”

The students, who look surprised, grab their luggage and go to their room. Dr. Ortiz grabs Alejandro´s shoulder and says:

“Good job Alejandro, now that is how a leader acts.”

Alejandro looks around and sees the faculty members smiling at him. He sighs once again and thinks to himself; “Man, that was rough!”

Uriel walks past Alejandro and grabs his shoulder; “You did well, my friend…” Alejandro feels confident as he only nods in agreement.

“EVERYONE, WE WILL GO TO THE POOL AFTER YOU GUYS SETTLE!!!”

“HHHUURRRAAAYYYY!!!!!”

The groups to sleep were formed by the following:

Room 520; Marjorie, Madeline and Marinnette

Room 521; Victoria, Ana, Angela and Leticia

Room 525; Alejandro, Crespo, Stephan and Raul

Room 526; Antoine, Angel and Uriel
