Woke up to my alarm blaring making me feel like I'm in the trenches at war but I still decided to get up. Looking up at my red ceiling I wonder if today is going to be a good day I mean it is my last first day of college. After brushing my teeth I decided to do my makeup and I went with an alt look adding lots of eyeliner and cute red hearts on my cheekbones. Heading into my closet which yes it's a walk in one my dad loves me, I pick out some black cargo pants and a crop top that says dump him on it. I put my hair into a half up half down kind of style with two ponytails. After that I put on my chunky converse and head out to the kitchen.

When I walk in I see that everyone is here. My mom sees me and starts gushing about how cute I look for my first day. "Oh Mia you look so pretty and that's one of my favorite tops" see she gets it dump that man. My dad is next by saying "You look beautiful dear and try not to break too many hearts today" I laugh and tell him I'll try not to. Then my two brothers butt in and tell me they don't want me going out dressed like this. Older brother's never change. I just middle finger salute them while I stack up my breakfast. "So are you excited about your first day honey?" My mom is just the sweetest but she will put a glock to your head if you mess with her family. Maybe that's where I get it from. "Yes I am mom I can't wait to finally be done with college."

After finishing up breakfast I go outside to where my best friend is waiting for me. She's been my best friend since diapers and we know each other like the back of our hands. "Hey Kai you missed me so much you just had to pick me up for school huh" We both giggle knowing we just saw each other yesterday and that it's normal for her to drive me to school. "Oh my god Mia! Your makeup is so cute today I love the alt look." I thank her while getting into her car and then we're off to our favorite cafe. She's already blasting my favorite song called Beltane on her speakers. "Have you gotten anymore intel on the guy?" We both kind of have a side mission in life. We hunt down bad men and make them wish they did better in their shitty lives while they had the chance. No one knows about it besides our team that we've gotten together. My name in the underground is the Red Bishop. My last name is Bishop and nobody would be able to make the connection so it seemed fitting. "No, I'm still waiting on Gary to hack into his account but he should have it done by tonight."

"Thanks Kai now are you ready to get your coffee on?"

"I actually already drank some coffee this morning so I'm good, I just took you here because I knew you would want it still."

"Do you hate me" I say with a sad face all because she didn't wanna go in and get coffee with me. This is a thing that we do though when one of us turns down the other we'll say "do you hate me" with sad puppy eyes.

"You know I don't now go get your coffee fix you addict"

I head into the cafe and wait in line worrying about ordering. You would think since I've killed a man before that I wouldn't have social anxiety but god had to nerf me in some way to make it fair. Going up to the counter I order my mocha frappe and a croissant and wait for it. After I get it I start to walk towards the door but I was too busy sipping my drink to pay attention so I walked into a brick fucking wall. Before falling on my ass two big hands grab my waist and keep me from falling but my drink still dropped. I look up to see beautiful forest green eyes staring down at me. Looking at him more I see he has inky black hair that falls over his forehead and tattoos that peek out from under the collar of his shirt. To say he's drop dead gorgeous would be an understatement. When he realizes I'm staring he smirks and that wakes me up from my staring induced coma. "Are you alright there sweetheart?" Oh and he has pet names I'm so cooked. "I'm fine thanks to you" I say while looking up into his eyes.

"Can I buy you another drink since your other one got dropped?"

"Oh no you don't have to worry about that I can always get another one."

"Pretty please?" He says with puppy dog eyes. Like how am I supposed to say no to that?? After agreeing we get back in line and he ends up ordering for me which makes me about ready to steal this man. It's like I can almost shut my brain off when I'm with him which is a miracle for me. "Well here's your new drink now don't drop it this time okay little one?"

I don't know if it's because I'm shorter than him but having him call me that makes me feel small and I didn't think I would like that this much. "Mhm I won't and thank you again mister"

"Anytime sweetheart" He smirks when he sees me staring again and then I realize I'm going to be late so I rush out another thank you and that I have to go and I go out and get into Kai's car. While on the way to school I tell her about the really hot guy I saw in the cafe and that he got me a drink since we spilled my other one. She was berating me for not getting his number but a girl had places to be. When we get to school I hop out of Kai's car and grab my throwing stars putting them into my cargo pants pockets. I never like being without some kind of weapon because you just never know who's gonna try and fuck up your day. Telling her I'm ready we walk hand and hand onto campus going towards our first class of the day. We're majoring in the same thing which makes me all the more sure we're soul sisters. Walking into our psychology class we go sit towards the top because it gives us a better viewpoint and get our laptops out.

Discreetly as more people came in we talked about our next target. His wife came to us wanting to get rid of him because he runs a drug ring and traffics little girls. She knew none of this before marrying him and she can't stand back and watch this stuff happen without doing something. So she came to us and as of right now we're gathering information about him like places he usually frequents and people he normally sees. The plan is to make it look like one of his opponents killed him so nobody goes asking her questions. She just wants to get away from it all and make a better life for her and her son.

We were so busy talking that we didn't even notice our professor walk in. Looking up my eyes bulge out of my head as I realize it's the guy who got me a coffee this morning. As he sets his stuff down he looks up and sees me. His eyes light up and he smirks recognizing me instantly. I look him up and down and take in his appearance again. I really should've guessed sooner considering he's wearing a button down and slacks but he looks so young I never would've thought he would be a professor. Then again I'm young and you wouldn't take me to be a professional hitman. Once he's set all of his stuff down he goes to the stupid little podium they have and starts to introduce himself.
