Mouse's P.O.V.

"Hey Mouse, it's been a while." Shadow says to me. He was at the front of the school. Which he doesn't attend. so he was waiting for someone but for who. Shadow goes to a private school, and I go to public. Based on his appearance he skipped school, he's not wearing his school uniform. So he's probably got another girlfriend. It's like he has a different one each week.

"Ya, it has... what brings you here?" He basically grins from ear to ear, which worries me.

"I came to give you a ride" then he leans in "We need to talk" he almost whispers. I give him a questioning look "I just have a few questions nothing much. We haven't spoken since that job last month. what was your grade on that short story anyway? I bet it was an A." I could tell him what my friends thought, but I don't feel like it. I feel someone's eyes on me and glance back. I notice the new guy watching us, more precisely Shadow. "Meet me at the park next to the school."

"okay." I say, but it comes out more like a question. He walks off and heads to the bathroom. So I go to the park and wait. Twenty minutes later after all the buses have left he finally shows up. He's a pain, and he made me wait and my bus already left.

"I'm glad you waited. For a moment there I thought you rode the bus home. Then I see you still waiting there. You have more patients than I thought. I'm your best friend right, will listen to what I have to say. Well there's probably this new guy at your school. His name is Alexander Gray."

"Ya I heard about him. He's also not that bad looking." Shadow rolls his eyes.

"He's not nice or good looking. His family has been rivals with mine for a long time. There's no way in hell you can trust a Gray. I don't know why he's in town. He's from a family of assassins as well. So avoid him it's bad news if you don't. Their trouble makers that's all they're good for. Listen when I tell you they'll try to destroy your family. I dough they'll know about your family but still. Don't give anything away. If you do you could be seen as a target." Shadow is serious, I can tell by his voice.

"Okay, was that why he was staring you down?" I ask out of curiosity.

"yes, if he asked what we talked about tell him I was asking where the bathroom was."

"Okay that easy, what if he can read lips? Is this all you wanted to warn me of the dangers of the Gray family or is there anything else by chance?" If I missed the bus for this it wasn't worth it.

"Yup, come on I think I owe you for having you wait. I'll give you a ride." He's right. Can he read minds, It seems like it sometimes. The car we walk to is black and I see the Heart-Tech Logo. All he uses is Heart-Tech. He needs normal brands.

Later before bed

Alexander Gray blond hair, tan skin, blue eyes, and an athletic build. I'm eye level with his shoulders, so average height. No dimples, no freckles, and no markings to define him otherwise. He probably will catch a lot of girls hearts. He might be a playboy or player in others terms.

I hate knowing that, but he did seem nice. I didn't get that good of a look at him or talk him. So, I can't have an exact evaluation of him. There will be some errors and I'll have to fill in the blanks as well. I won't be ready for school tomorrow.

Sighing I close my eyes and wait for sleep to take me. I hear the wind rustling the leaves. It was a warm wind today. So it didn't cool anyone off. With these thoughts I drift off to sleep.

The next day

In English I talk with my friend Alisha. She has short curly hair that's blue, blue eyes, and freckles. Her favorite color isn't blue its pink. Don't ask if her favorite colors blue it upsets her, and that's the last thing you want.

"Hi, do you mind if I sit here?" we look up to meet Alexander Gray's blue eyes. I spot Alisha's blush and i'm not the only one who sees it, jugging by the smile he's giving us. I'm guessing she likes what she sees. Then again I can see why, for all I know I could be blushing too.

"Of course you can." she answers before I can say no. He smiles brightly and thanks her. Then we continue with our conversation. Some time later we were talking and then she razes her hand and asks to go to the bathroom. When she left I notice Alexander watches her go.

"So are you two are good friends?" he asks, I only nod. "Like that guy you were talking to yesterday." I look at him and smile, already asking questions. He doesn't waste time.

"He was asking where the bathroom was. Why do you ask?" If he's going to dig so am I. Looking him in the eye, I wait for his move. It's almost as if a silent challenge is being put in place.

"I don't really, just making conversation. He seems like a  to me. I wouldn't talk to him if I were You." he stops smiling and his eyes are serious. I don't think I can keep from saying anything rude, but what he said has made me curious. So I hold out and if needed I can turn off my emotions.

"What do you mean by that?" I ask letting curiosity in my voice and features. It should make it seem like I don't know Shadow well.

"He has a reputation for being a player." I nod, is that the only thing he's got to use. That's not enough to make him seem like a bad guy. "Who knows he could have his eye on you. You can tell by the look in his eye he has an interest in you." That wouldn't be a surprise we work together, i'm interested in his abilities and family. "You can't trust his kind. " His kind does he mean assassins in general or something else.

"what exactly is his kind" I ask.

"That's a secret. If I told you, then I'd have to kill you." He laughs and I do to, I'd like to see you try.

"And what's your kind?" I ask again trying to see if he would slip up.

"As much as I hate to say it. I'm the same kind as him." You can tell by the look on his face he means it.

"How about... what's my kind?" He smiles again, I like when he smiles better than that previous look he had. He looks at the door then turns back, leaning in he says it in a low voice,

"Adorably innocent." I can tell I look confused. He starts laughing, but i'm lost. He really doesn't know I'm an assassin i'm considered innocent at least I am by Shadow. I don't know about adorable I think he said it as a flattery.

"Yes, it is a kind and a very good one. Not many can fit in it. So your a lucky one." I nod and the door opens. We both look at the door and see Alisha. He immediately goes back to his work and acts like we never spoke. Did he sit there just to question me? The rest of the class he ignores the world. When the bell finally rings Alisha quickly leaves. So I take the chance.

"Hey your name's Alexander right?" I ask as he looks up from packing and smiles.

"Yes, i'm Alexander Gray. What's your name?" He asks.

"I'm Mouse Kinder and I just want you to know I don't like being questioned. It sort of felt like you where. Have a nice day and maybe see you later." I say and walk away. I can feel him watching me go. There may be new assassins in town, but that doesn't matter... Right?

well, i wasn't sure at first if shadow or Alexander would help her down. if there spelling errors please let me know ill try to fix them. please vote if you liked it.
