5 years later...
January 17th; Sun City
It’s been 5 years since the “Borderland Catastrophe.” People live their normal lives as if nothing happened, the buildings were repaired, and have a futuristic look,the streets were paved once again.
The reason was because of a single man named Darius Lucifugus. He alone paid for the reconstruction of Sun City and Rio Grande City. In less than 2 years the cities were reconstructed. Because of his actions, Darius became the mayor of Sun City.Everybody forgot about the catastrophe, everyone except for one person...
It’s a normal winter day on the Borderland, it's raining lightly with lightning falling down. The temperature is freezing with everyone wearing coats.
At the entrance of the Sun City International Highschool, there is poster with at says; “SUPERNATURAL INVESTIGATION SOCIETY” with two students sitting at the table, one is with his laptop and the other is shouting:
“HEEEELLLOO EVERYONE, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN INVESTIGATING ABOUT GHOST, ALIENS AND MONSTER? THEN SEARCH NO MORE AND JOIN THE SUPERNATURAL SOCIETY ASSOCIATION....”
Students pass him without paying any attention to him. The bell rings meaning that it's the beginning of classes.
Welcome to Sun City International High School, a large building located at the centerSun City. This is a prestigious school that attracts students from all over the world. This Highschool has a worldwide connection and almost everyone comes from a noble and rich family. The buildings are hightech, and have spacious rooms comfortable for students to study.
In the high school division girls wear the traditional school uniform which consists of a white button shirt, a black tie, a red school jacket that has black skirt with black leggings and school shoes. Men wear a white button shirt, a black tie, and black school pants with dressing shoes. Men also wear the red jacket like the girls with the school symbol which consists of a Sun with the initials: S.C. I. H. S. which is the name of the school.
The student with brown hair looks at the one who is sitting at the table; “ Hey Raul, how many people signed up today?”
“ Let’s see...” Raul counts his fingers and says with a sarcastic tone; “Zero, Alejandro”.
Alejandro Sanchez is a 16 year old boy who has long straight brownish hair, he has white skin and a skinny body .He is average in height, wears glasses. He is a fan of supernatural things and he is the president of the SIS.
Raul Diaz is a 16 year old boy, he has green hair and hazel colored- eyes. Light skin, slim body and wears glasses. He is a nerd who is only interested in studying, and reading books. He only joined the club because he needed to.
Alejandro sighs with his eyes closed; “ Awww maaaan, we still have only three members...”

“I’m telling you to change the name, not everyone likes that name...” Raul says as he continues to type.
Alejandro turns around and with a fist in the air; “Never, because this is a society where we are going to find the truth of these supernatural mysteries like the Chupacabras or Bigfoot, don’t you have curiosity?”
“Not at all... I have to go to class, okay, I’ll see you later...” Raul stands up and goes inside the building waving at Alejandro. Alejandro once again sighs, and begins to pick up his stuff and take off his poster.
“Man, this sure was a popular club last year, but I failed to impress everyone...”
“Good morning, Alejandro...” A female student approaches Alejandro, Alejandro looks at her and gets mad; “Marjorie, you’re late...”
Marjorie puts her hands together in sign of apology as she says: “Sorry, I had a meeting...”
Marjorie Bellerose is a 16years old girl. She has long silver hair with a black ribbon on her left side and blue eyes. She has a slim body with a nice figure. She is the most popular girl in the school, considered one of the three princess idols of the high school. She is the student council vice-president. Her warm personality makes every guy in school want to talk to her but she now has a boyfriend.
“Don’t worry about it, you’re doing more than enough being in this club” Alejandro grabs his bag and begins to walk inside the building. Marjorie walks beside him, causing everyone to speak behind their backs:
“ Why is one of the Princess Idols walking with him?
That guy is a complete loser...
I heard he's crazy...”
“I can hear you, damn it...”
Alejandro hears as he makes a fist. Marjorie chuckles as she doesn’t mind and asks:
“So did you have any luck last night in your investigation?”
“Unfortunately no, I was investigating a possible Chupacabra sighting but the police didn’t let me pass...”
“Where did you go?”
“Rio Grande City, apparently there have been mysterious deaths, and rumors say that it isn’t human...I want to know what it is...maybe it is a Chupacabra”
Marjorie puts a worried expression; “You know, I think it’s great that you investigate those events but try not to put yourself in danger...”
“Yeah yeah, I know, but remember that where danger is, the answers are as well....”
“Just promise that you won’t get self involved with some strange people, okay or any dangerous things, please...”
Alejandro smiles and replies; “I won’t, I promise...”
“Well I have a council meeting now, I’ll see you later...”
Marjorie enters the classroom, Alejandro continues walking, as he turns around the corner, there is someone waiting for him.
A young man leaning on the wall; ”Hey Alejandro, your looking stupid as always...”

Alejandro looks at him seriously and replies:
“Hello Aleister, I need to go to class, so if you excuse me...”
Aleister Lucifugus is a 16 years old young man, he has black hair with red eyes, he is considered the most handsome guy in the high school division causing all the girls to fall for him. He is tall with a thin but very strong body compared to Alejandro's. He is one of the smartest students in high school and the son of the mayor Darius. He is also Marjorie´s boyfriend making them the most popular couple in school and the student council president.
Aleister walks beside him going the other direction, he grabs Alejandro’s shoulder; “Hey, when are you going to stop involving my girlfriend with your crazy stuff?”
“Marjorie likes to help me, besides I am not involving her in anything, so don’t worry..”
“I hope so, remember that she is mine and mine alone, if I see you walking beside her, I will make you pay...”
Thunder strikes down illuminating the hallway, Aliester’s eyes shine a bright red, he begins to walk away saying; “Dont say I didn’t warn you...Alejandro...”
(RING,RING,RING)
Alejandro takes a deep breath and changes his expression to smile; “Okay, enough of that, it’s time for class.
At Sun City International Highschool, the classes given are the same from any American Highschool. The grades are 9-12, students get to choose the classes they want to take with a total of 8 classes per day.
Despite how people see him, Alejandro is a genius when it comes to academics. He’s taking advanced classes, for his first period, he has Advanced Algebra...
“Very well class so if you clear the x from this equation, your answer should be 2... Are you following?”
The teacher explains as she writes on the board, she is very beautiful and causes all the male students to drool. At the end of the classroom, near the window ( The most cliche spot for a main character) a student is sleeping, his snores distract the class.
The teacher sighs with her eyes closed. The student is Alejandro who is making everyone mad as they stare at him. The students begin to whisper:
“That loser is sleeping again? We should just expel him…”
Marjorie, whose in the same class, looks at him with a worried expression.The teacher sighs with her eyes closed thinking:
“Not again…”
(RRRIIINNGGG,RRIIINNGG)
The bell rings as a sign that the 1st period ended. Alejandro wakes up and looks up; “Oh-oh”
He sees his teacher glaring at him, she makes a fake smile and asks:
“Did you enjoy my lecture Alejandro?”
Alejandro looks at her nervously with sweat coming from his head;
“Everyone have a nice weekend, the test results are on my desk, don’t forget to pick them up.”
Alejandro tries to stand up but the teacher stops him. With a fake smile she asks:
“Alejandro, I want to speak to you now!”
“Oh he’s in trouble now... serve him right for being a weirdo...”
“Ms. Kasumi, I have to go to my other class...” Alejandro says to his teacher, Kasumi sits on the desk and crosses her legs causing Alejandro to look away nervously.
Kasumi Miyazono is a 19 year old young woman, she is a genius who graduated from college at the age of 15. She has orange hair and as always she has a ponytail with braids. She wears glasses and has light brown eyes. She has a well-developed body. She’s a beauty that rejects every teacher who asks for a date. She is also the teacher in charge of the Supernatural Investigation Society.
“Honestly I would scold you more but you have such good development in my class.” Kasumi hands a sheet of paper to Alejandro. It’s his test score that says 100/100.
“Why thank you teacher, does that mean I can go now right?”
“Hold on just a minute, you went to investigate last night, right?”
Kasumi grabs Alejandro’s shoulder, Alejandro nervously shakes his head.
Kasumi sighs once again; “Listen Alejandro, I agreed to be your advisor for the club because I thought that there was no harm and you could make friends, but you are doing dangerous stuff and not sleeping, you come to my class all sleepy and that bothers the other students.”
Alejandro looks down and says in a low tone; “So what? Those guys wouldn’t like me anyways, why should I bother to be nice to them...”
“I understand that you don't care but try to make new friends...Then, your club could grow...right now, you have three members...”
“Yeah, rules state that we need at least three right, so there you have it...”
“Yes three active members, but you clearly don’t, you have Raul who is on his computer and doesn't care about the supernatural stuff and you have Marjorie whose motives I don't know yet, but she’s never here...”
“Fine, I promise I will try recruiting more people, but please continue supporting us...”
Kasumi looks at Alejandro who has a sad puppy face; “Fine, you have two weeks to find more members alright...I’ll see you later...”
“Alright, thank you teacher...”
Kasumi chuckles, she sits on her desk and changes her expression;“ I made a promise that I would watch over you, but please don’t do anything risky Alejandro...”
