That was certainly the most interesting history lesson I'd ever had. The demon... How had it gotten here without being noticed? I remembered what Mr. Jones had said about darkforce. It is what makes us do bad things, but if your darkforce completely takes over all you can think of is getting all the power in the world for yourself. I needed to know more. Perhaps Mr Jones might know a thing or two about my Manipulative powers too. Hmmm...

"MILLICENT HALL-E'STRANGE! COME BACK TO EARTH THIS INSTANT!" I heard a voice call. Fiona and Bee were staring at me. I had been absorbed in my own thoughts again. Mr Jones was looking down at me sitting at the table with my laptop in front of me. "That was quite the display," he said.

"Uh... yeah, I guess so... I didn't even know I could do most of those things. Mr Jones, what do you know about the Manipulatives?" I asked.

"Well, the story goes that Anatia met a person one time who had no darkforce whatsoever. Anatia thought that she ought to reward the person for living with pure lifeforce, so she taught them the secrets of manpulating the sacred stuff at will. This activated a hidden power inside of the person, and so their children possessed this power too, and that was what started the first clan of guardians. Eventually, some others found out these things and started their own clans of Manipulatives, but-"

DIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGG!!!!! The bell interrupted Mr Jones. We all headed out of the library for break. I went back to my locker and put my history stuff inside it, but I took out my notebook and headed back up to the library to do some research. I was a little freaked out about the giant stone demon battle thing. I knew I had to find out more.

Bee poked me in the back (about where the hatch thing was where my wings came out of) and said, "And WHERE do you think you're going, Miss I-Saved-The-World-In-History-Class-And-Am-So-In-Love-With-" I inturrupted her, because I knew where this was going, and when you're the hero of Animia everyone would probably want to know who the lucky guy is that I like.

"I am NOT in love with him!" I screeched. "Besides, didn't you have the biggest crush ever on that Alex guy last year?'

"Yeah, but I am SO over him! He was a huge jerk! He was pretending to be nice!"

This was sinking like the Titanic. I decided to answer her initial question.

"I'm going.... TO THE HALL OF VAST KNOWLEDGE!" I said in my best superheroic voice.

"What???" said Bee and Fiona.

"To the Hall of Vast Knowledge," I cried again, pointing in the generel direction of the library. The others still looked confused.

"I believe you unenlightened ones would call it a library," I said. "You totally ruined my exit."

"I hope this hasn't gotten to her head," I heard Fiona whisper to Bee.

"No, it hasn't.  I am just messing with you. You know I like to do that," I replied. "I mean, I can name more famous mathematicians than Joneski could." I then proceeded to prove my point by listing them all. "Pythagoras, Archimedes, Euclid, Eratosthenes, Fibonacci-"

"Okay okay okay, living calculator, we get the point!" chorused Bee and Fiona. It was creepy how they both thought the same things as each other at the same time...

When we finally reached the "Hall of Vast Knowledge," the first thing I saw was Julian Mackintosh, staring at a computer screen. The computer was being difficult. No surprise there, the internet at this school is terrible. I walked up to Julian and said, "Do you need help?"

He said, "Oh, hi again Millicent. If you don't mind, would you help with this?"

"Sure, I have a way with computers," I replied. As I sorted the computer out Julian and I talked, and I have to admit I completely forgot why I had come to the library in the first place. We were inturrupted by the bell.

"You have SO got a crush on him," said Fiona, as we walked to our lockers to get our stuff for the next class.

"Yeah, MackinStrange might just be the cutest couple this school's ever seen," added Bee.

"MackinStrange?" I said.

"Yeah! You know, like in Percy Jackson, where they combine the names to create a joint name for the couple. For example, Percabeth and all that. Hall-E'Strange plus Mackintosh equals MackinStrange."

I hated to admit it, but  I thought they were right.

I definitely had a huge crush on Julian.

Note: This chapter really isn't necessary but I wrote it for humour, and to put in a part where Millicent finally admits she has a crush on Julian. Perhaps they'll become the hottest Wattpad couple of the year! We'll just have to wait and see...

Move over Percabeth, make way for MackinStrange!
