I watched as Lanea and Charlie walk back into there gym leaving me alone.
I can't believe I did that. I try to compose myself and adjust my pants because I was hard.
Almost everyday for the last month whenever I'm near her I get a bit nervous. As much I tried I can't deny my feelings anymore. I like Lanea. I've been trying to keep it cool but I've been dialing badly.
I walk back to the gym to where the other football players are. As the students at are red coming in I started to wonder what Lanea was running from. Or who. I wouldn't lie and say I haven't been suspicious about her since 10th grade especially with her refusing for me to go to her house. I'll ask her about it again after the pep rally.
Time skip to after the rally
The rally was over and now we were heading to the field for a game against one of our rival schools. I catch up with Lanea but we don't utter a word
"What happened earlier." She started. "Wasnt so supposed to happen it was a uh mistake yh so let's just act like nothing happened and move on we've have spoken in like 30mins."
I feel a sting in my chest after she says that but brush it aside she only some as a friend so there's nothing to worry about.
" Your right it was n-" I'm as about to finish my sentence b ur I felt a sudden shift in the air. I assume Lanea felt it too because she started looking around and seemed more tense.
"We need to g-" just as she says that I hear screams and rapid fire from behind us. We turn back and see a few dead bodies but mainly all 2000+ students running out of the field. Before we could get trampled I grab her hand and run.
I take us through a shortcut through he trees to the car park but the gun noise stops. We put our backs against each other and start looking around. We stop moving so we can listen for any footsteps.
Looking down I spot her hand reaching down to her thigh about to grab something.
I look up to see a guy running towards my direction and before I could bring my gun out a knife pierces into the middle of his head. I look back with wide eyes at Lanea who was retreating from her throwing pose.
"We'll discuss this later my parents are at a meeting so we need to go to your house." I say and grab her hand so we can get to my car.
Once we enter I drive out and give her my phone.
"Type in the address." I say but she still doesn't do anything.
"Uhh we can't my paren-"
"Stop lying to me!" I shout in anger. Is suddenly remember the thug. She told me about her anger months ago. I look at her direction and I can see her facial change. I quickly look back at he road.
"I apologize for shouting I know you don't like it when I raise my voice." I say pulling into a fast food drive through.
"It's okay." She says as nonchalantly
I take a drop breath in and sigh
"Lanea"
"Yh"
"Why don't we ever go to your house?" She gets quiet for a couple seconds and speaks up.
"-I"
"And don't lie to me"
She looks me in the eye and loosen down at my phone and she puts in her address. I still stare at her cause she hasn't said anything
"I'll explain when we get there." She responds grabbing her friends and burger and puts the radio on.
The ride was silent except for the sound of the man talking about the shooting that happened.
Once we turn to the neighborhood the house is at I take notice of a house that's surrounded with tall bushes making it impossible to see and big black gates. She types in the code and I drive in.
Her house is pretty big almost as big as mine but it looked very simple

I park my car and make it to the front door with her leading the way. As she opens the door and dagger comes straight towards me and before I could catch it she does.
She looks back at me and smiles nervously
"Sorry about that. Security reason." She says then looks forward and walk into the main house.
I was still in shock form her catching it and also throwing it earlier. I sit at the kitchen Island and she goes to the fridge.
"Drinks?" She ask politely without turning towards me.
"Yh sure." I respond
She comes brings out to cans of something I've never seen before.
"Pure heaven or Fayrouz." She asks
I've never had these drinks in my life so I wasn't sure which time I'm but I ended up going with Pure heaven.
I try it and it was great tasted like sparkling grape juice but better.
"My name is Amina."
Wait what
"What do you mean. So you lied about your name to me."
"Pretty much." She says
"Is there anything else you could be lying about or not telling me."I ask a bit hurt
"I speak 8 languages, I'm from a family of trained assassins. I've never been sick before."
"So that day you were 'sick' what were you doing." I questioned
" I was killing a guy. He owed money."
"Wow. So you've been lying to my face this whole time! So was our friendship even real." I stand up shouting. She takes a deep breath in and stares at me.
She moves up from the counter she was resting on and walks in my direction stopping right in-front of me.
"Giovanni Romano, Son of the Don of Italian Mafia, 6ft 4 on a good day, speaks 6 languages kill count 100+" she continues with a sadistic smile on her face.
"How do you know that." I say a bit scared
Her eyes soften and she walks back towards the living room.
"Come." She says and I immediately walk over and sit next to her.
"Remember when I got shot and went to your house. The guys that shot at me, now dead, was looking for you. I didn't pay much attention to it until earlier today when a random guy was chasing and I entered the school where you were. Once I entered the court I did some research." She says
"But that's not information you find on Wikipedia."
