Clear Lake Academy holds the worst of the worst delinquents from around the country. Each and every student there holds a notorious background that led them there and almost everyone avoids them.
After setting the tenth building on fire, which just...

I sat down, my body instantly leaning towards the ablaze fire before me. My gaze quickly wandered over everyone as I joined them around the fire we had built.
I hugged my body, my silk pyjamas softly sliding across my skin as I focused on the colours of the fire. My mind went towards the end of month party but before it could dive into it, I remembered the three texts that I had received during the three hours we had played on the field, ate and built the fire.
One text per hour. The thing that weirded me out was the context of the text.
The first one was simple.
Wilson.
The second made my eyes shoot open slightly.
Kate Wilson.
The third made me question why I was being texted with this.
Colton Wilson.
That was all of them; my name, my mother's name and my father's. It was odd but I couldn't help but think that it was just a prank. Everyone practically knew my mother and father's name considering what their occupation is but why text me what I already know.
I blew a piece of hair out of my face, watching the boys chat. They all looked happy; smiling and chatting. They sat in their pyjamas, looking cozy as we bundled around the small fire, sitting on spare coats and blankets.
I assumed that they were taking about the incident earlier involving a boy, spray paint and the school roof. Let's just say that when we all walked out with our bags earlier we had the privilege to witness a boy on the school room, writing something on the wall which sat on the roof.
So now whenever we walk past, we see a very unfriendly word in bright red on the front of the school. I'm pretty sure the boy got detention for a month but he easily walked away with a grin, looking accomplished.
Other students and their fires sat around us as everyone settled down with the stars among us.
We were due to start our first activity in a moment but I'm pretty sure that everyone was too busy looking at the stars and talking. We may be a bunch of reckless teens but even we fell subject to the starry night sky. There was just something peaceful about it and I could walk hours at night freely, if I could.
I wring my hands as I grunt at the fact that I hadn't brought a jacket with me and I was sitting on my blazer so I wasn't able to wear it.
I could easily go inside and grab a hoodie but I was currently too mesmerised by the night. Unfortunately a certain ding broke my peace.
I gritted my teeth, unlocking the phone and watching as a new message came.
