He raises an eyebrow as you walk over to him. With a quick glance over your shoulder, you see Jasper Is back to doing his work.

You keep quiet not really sure what to say as he pulls out his seat at his desk and sits down watching you. You keep the smile on your face.

"Go Rory" He whispers with a grin.

You raise an eyebrow and tilt your head. "What?" You whisper back.

"I mean, is that why you moved from your old school?" He whispers peering past you at Jasper.

"What do you mean" you ask.

"For being in a relationship with a teacher- hey, think you could put a good work in for my essay?"

You furrow your brows and scoff under your breath. "That is not what that was" you scowl.

He sits back, with a surprised look that turns to confusion. "What was that then"

"Not anything weird" you mutter leaning against his desk as Kendrick shrugs.

"Don't be ashamed, he's like 23, isn't he?" He chuckles.

"Kendrick" you whisper sternly. "It probably just looked weird from here" you mutter.

He grins and nods slowly, "whatever you say rory love"

"I'm serious Kendrick" you growl.

"I know I know, I'm only teasing" He says as the door swings open and Kai struts in. He tosses his bag at his desk, greeting Jasper.

His bag slides across and onto the floor and he sees you and Kendrick. He steps over, dragging his chair with him and sitting down on the opposite of Kendricks desk.

"Usually I've always been the first one here" Kai laughs. "Oh yeah-" He reaches into his pocket, sliding Kendrick a bag of weed buds.

He looks at you raising a brow and you nod. He digs in his pocket before throwing a bag across to you which you stuff into your pocket.

You're walking back from the gate to retrieve a few things from your locker. It's a couple minutes into study period and you see the new kid.

Kai had just come up to you and Kendrick asking if you'd seen him. You both hadn't and he'd left once again, you slowed noticing he was talking to a known enemy.

It was hushed and dodgy looking from any perspective. Your ears couldn't pick up on the conversation and so you changed course, clearing your throat and putting on a smile.

"Hey" you interrupted, startling them both. "You're the new kid right?" You ask him.

He nods glancing at the teacher who eyes you. "Kai is looking for you, to give that tour" you say. "I'll take you to him" you say with a friendly tone.

He looks back at the teacher who clearly attempts a smile. "I'll meet you back at 2pm okay?" He says patting the kids shoulder.

He nods, naturally your mind translates the simple time into position, and you walk alongside the kid while you glance in the direction of 2.

Kai finds you fast and says a quick thanks before rushing the kid, so he doesn't waste all his study time. You watch as they walk away.

You turn your body towards 2 and rethink the sentence the teacher said. The words could mean anything, but something clicked, and you felt panic rising.

The kid was part of the mission. You looked around the halls frantically, rushing through small crowds that lingered. You pushed open Jaspers door. "I've, I've got to go" you said out of breath.
