Together

Waking up to my alarm, I felt even more horrible. The feeling of not wanting to go to school had risen, and even the thought of the boys made me not want to go.

Why are they so clingy and protective of me? It's suspicious. Maybe I should talk to Griffin more? And find out more information. Yeah that'll do.

Getting out of bed I threw on whatever I could find, once again. Who the hell has time for that? I'm too lazy. That's for sure.

Running down the steps I couldn't hear my parents. Oh wait, they're not here. With that thought I just went straight for the door and quickly walked to school.

I know JJ won't be too keen on going another day in one week. That's JJ for you. Yet, he still does great in his classes, except for maths. If you ask him what two plus two is, he'll just say window. Absolute idiot.

Arriving at school, I stood outside thinking where I could find Griffin. Hmmm. Oh! Maybe the library. Yeah he's definitely a book person.

Entering the school building a shiver went up my spine, and the smell of past smoke filled my nostrils. Before going to the library I went to the science area to see how bad it was.

Looking through the little square window on the door, I saw that it was basically just one station area. Really? They made it seem like the whole class was on fire, and that the school was gonna burn down too.

Opening the door slowly, I stepped inside, it was early so no one was in here. Taking a look around, I seen another picture, except it was taped to the black board, with a red pen, circling around it. There was two arrows pointing at the picture too.

Walking closer, the more the picture became visible. Griffin? Not only was it Griffin, but his face half scribbled out, and his body was contorted purpose by someone.

Don't tell me one of the boys did this, and also set the science lab on fire. Crazy assholes.

Snatching and ripping the photo of the board, I walked out into the hallways again, closing the door. Ok, somethings definitely going on. Maybe I should listen to Griffin. These boys seem to be up to something.

And it doesn't smell too great. Speed walking towards the library, I didn't see the figure that had turned the corner, and collided into them.

Stumbling backwards I looked at them "I'm so-...oh. It's just you." I sarcastically informed. They smirked a little at you and leaned against the wall.

"Shouldn't you be a bit more happy, to see a friend?" Robin asked. Knowing exactly what he was doing. They've already annoyed you, and they literally skipped yesterday to avoid JJ.

I didn't think Finn would, I mean. It's Finney. "Yes I'm so happy that you and the other boys skipped yesterday to avoid JJ. My best friend." A laugh escaped his lips, amused by what I just said.

"We didn't. You just couldn't see us." Crossing my arms I eyed him from head to toe. "So then, you were hiding purposely inside the school." Bursting into a fit of laughter at your stupidity, he shook his head.

"Never mind...." He seemed to doze off, staring at something that wasn't your eyes. A smile crept onto his face. "What's that you got" Looking down you saw the picture you were holding.

Stuffing it quickly into your pocket, you looked past him. "I have to go" he looked back at you, an eyebrow arched. "What's the rush for? Classes don't begin in another thirty-minutes."

Why did he have to question everything?! "Just, Uhm. I'm going to study in the library." He was gonna say something but I cut him off "Alone" with that I pushed past him. Not looking back.

He watched your figure disappear around the corner. As much as he knew you were lying, he didn't know what you were actually doing. This is what agitated him.

I was distracted with searching for Griffin, that I didn't see him literally sitting in front of me at a table, engrossed in what seemed like an old book.

The boy looked up, hearing multiple curses being thrown out under the breath of a female, that female, being you. His surprised self turned into a smiling idiot.

"Y/n?" The girl stopped in her tracks, the mumbles coming to an end, and her head snapping in the direction her name came from. "THERE YOU ARE!"

The librarian got mad at the abrupt shout and stood up. "This is a library! Not a playground. So QUIET!" She hissed out. Nodding her head she rushed over to Griffin.

Pulling out a chair from across him, she plopped down into her seat. Placing the picture onto the table and sliding it across to him.

"Care to explain this?" I questioned as he picked up the paper, and examined it. The smile he was once wearing faded at the site. "This is more serious than I thought" He slowly placed the picture down. Just staring at it.

What did he mean? "Can you tell me what the HELL, is going on?!" I whispered shouted, not needing the teacher getting mad again.

"I can't. YOU have to figure it out yourself." Figure WHAT out!? Am I supposed to just be like 'oh hey! Yeah this is what I was supposed to know'?

Reading my expression he sighed. "I can't tell you. I'm sorry...but..I'll help you" Thanks man! That really helps...

"What am I exactly looking for?" He lit up at this. "Them. You're supposed to find them." The boys? "Gain their trust. Get information from them. Make sure write it down. Write anything that you find useful."

Yep, no clear explanation. Snapping his fingers in front of my face, he said. "Pay attention. You need to do anything they say. But don't be too easy. It'll be suspicious. Find things they cherish the most."

Ok! First thing is to find them. Second thing, gain their trust. Third thing, get information. Fourth thing is to find things they cherish. And lastly put it all together, to find the big dot.

Yep totally understood the assignment. Just looking for random things about them now.

"We're working together y/n. I'm helping you, trust me." He held my hand, squeezing it lightly. My eyes connected with his. "Most important, find out who they really are..." Why can't he just tell me?

Feeling that same chill run down my spine, Griffin say up. "You better hurry up. I'm assuming their waiting for you." Looking at him for a brief second, determination filled my eyes.

Whatever he was talking about, I wanted to find out. Weather it'd be a waste of my time or not.

It wasn't a waste of time...But it definitely put me away for good...
