Wiping the tears away, I shut the journal and locked in in my drawer. No one could find out what secrets were hidden in my mind if they could not read my journal.

"Good morning." Louis smiled.

"Morning." I mumbled under my breathe. Quickly I sped away from his house. "Pass me a cigarette."

"Want me to light it?" He asked holding a lighter as well. I nodded my head while keeping my eyes on the road as he lit my cigarette.

"Ha-" he shook his head, "Fire. You're going past the limit."

"I know."

He sighed and adjusted his backpack straps. We arrived to school a couple minutes faster, and I parked by the trees. For a moment I just sat there until I snapped out of my dark abyss.

"Hey Louis?" I started walking with him. "H-how is she?"

"Boring but not bad. She would really like you."

"Leave me the fuck alone about that, okay?" I yelled.

Without letting him say anything, I walked as fast as I could away from him. My long legs provided me the speed I wanted as I entered the school. Some heads turned to me as I stormed by until I reached my locker. I grabbed some materials that I needed for a few of my classes and slowly shut the locker, reconnected the ends of the locks together.

"Hi Fire." A voice made me turn around.

"Oh hey." I barely smiled.

"I need you to deliver this to someone named Terry Smith."

"Now Max? We are in the middle of school." I motioned to the flow of people walking by.

"He wanted it now and is willing to pay loads. You can keep it all. Just deliver it to him. He said he will be by the East stairs."

"Fine. Give me it."

Max passed me a little dime baggie with a white powder in it, making sure no one saw anything. Once I had it in my hand, I slickly shoved it in my sleeve and started to head to the East stairs. Of course with the lack of description on how Terry looked, I was left standing there observing everyone. The person who would stay here to longest was probably Terry.

There was a girl with light brown hair and vibrant pink lips talking with another girl with dirty blonde hair pulled into a ponytail. A boy who seemed to be a sophomore was sitting on the railing a little ways from the girls, looking around. That was probably Terry but I was not sure.

"Hey are you Terry?" I asked nonchalantly.

"N-no."

"I am." a voice spoke. The boy scurried away and was left with Terry. She was the one with light brown hair and pink lips.

"You got it?" I asked, referring to the money.

"Yeah. Don't loose it." she slyly shook my hand. The blonde was next to her smiling.

I handed her the little bag the same was she gave me the wad of cash. "Terry sounds like a boy name. My boss kept referring you to a guy."

"My mom likes the unisex names."

Shoving the money in my backpack I turned around without giving a shit.

"Wait." she called.

"What?"

"What's your name?"

"Fire."

Terry and her tag along snickered, "Really, what is it?"
