When we were coming back to Perdido Beach, we saw a bunch of cars pulling up. The kids started coming out of the cars and we realized that they were from Coates Academy. Coates Academy is the place where rich parents send their troubled kids. So overall, not very pleasant or enjoyable children to deal with. A boy my age gets up and starts talking. His name is Caine. He sounds caring, nice, and trusting. But I don't buy into it. The whole thing seems a little too perfect. Like it was practiced many times. Besides, he's from Coates-there is a great reason not to trust him right off the bat. I look over at Astrid and I can tell she feels the same way.
Caine's speech ends now. He had been talking about how he can bring better leadership to this place and take care of people, and by the looks of the kids around him, they all bought it. Their faces are looking hopeful, happy even. The new kids in town are either going to be a lifesaver, or big trouble.
