If there was one thing I'd learned so far in my high school years, was this: good girls are just as bad girls who don't get caught. I'd avoided detection for almost four years, perfecting my goody-two-shoes image so my classmates - and the law - would forget all about my unconventional hobby, a social killer best kept hidden, for example STD.

And maybe if I'd kept up the façade I wouldn't be faced with words that never used to be in my vocabulary: expulsion, ecotage, vigilant. Prison.

But the thing is, if I had to do it all over again? I wouldn't change a thing. (Okay, maybe I'd skip the part where I accidentally wore see-through pajamas in front of a boy who wasn't my boyfriend.) What was a little blemish on my high-school transcript when it might save people? Save my friends? I da to keep reminding myself of that as I waited for the verdict on all my crimes. Or as I liked to refer to them as missions.

On the day of the first mission, I was hiding in the empty school hallway right outside the teachers' lounge, wishing my bones were made of titanium stell to give me a little more reinforcement in the courage department.

"I still can't believe you talked me into this, Suzy," My best friend Lee Jieun, a.k.a. IU, said. She was talking to me but looking at Park Jiyeon, my other . . . friend. The extracurricular activities had let out early and the teachers were all in a "meeting" in the gym, leaving the school open and vulnerable. Rumors had been around saying that the meeting was actually a staff party, complete with an open bar and a hypnotist. If only we could hypnotize the teachers permanently.

"And I can't believe, after all my begging, all it took was a promise to be the school mascot with you." I pressed my ear to the door of the lounge and listened for any sounds coming from inside. To get them to finally agree to help take action, I hadn't just promised to wear the itchy uniform; I'd sworn to be the tail end. It was a two-person costume, and someone had to be the butt of the joke, so to speak. It was IU's brillant plan to get close to the soccer team and have an excuse to talk to them. But hey, wasn't that what friends were for? Having a companion for the embarrassing things. If anyone caught me breaking into the teachers' lounge, stealing the school's supply of letterhead, and donating it to the recylce center alone, my repuation would be as endangered as the rainforest.

"All your other mission suggestions were lame. But this one?" Jiyeon nodded at the teachers' lounge, her light brown hair swinging with the movement. "It might even get the attention of -" She met my eyes and snapped her mouth shut. "No one."

"That's right, because no one can know it's us," I said. "Think unsolved mystery." I tried to ignore the ache in my chest at the brief exchange that flitted between IU and Jiyeon. Ever since IU had brought Jiyeon into our duo over the summer, I seemed to be more on the side of the inside jokes. They'd even started dressing similar to another, both currently decked out in unfortunate hot-pink tops. I was of the belief that if your school didn't require uniform, you didn't create one yourself. Hence my nonconformist jeans and loose white top.

I pushed myself into a standing position and faced the lockers opposite of the door. "I don't hear any noises. I think it's safe." That would be your cue to open the door, I coached myself even though my arms dangled at me sides like useless noodles.
