Coraline's (Bailey) P.O.V:
"I'm gonna kill that little bitch."
Holy shit.
Someone's mad.
Somebody might die.
My assignment comes back freshly engraved in my skull.
Holy shit.
Somebody's life relies in my hands.
"My dad would let me."
HOLY SHIT.
In my head I picture myself jumping out of my seat but it's all role play now.
"What's your full name?" I ask calmly.
" Why do you care?"
"I'm sorry. If I wanted to bail you out of jail, I would be standing there like a lost puppy because I wouldn't even know your NAME!" I say. "Why are you so god damn hard. Is your name like a secret? Would it kill?" I say. I just sparked hope but I also sure as hell crushed it before him. Like I'm going to let a criminal loose. I did that once, not going to do it again anytime soon.
"Ethan Walker."
Holy shit once again.
I found my target.
I look at Cora and poor thing, she looks so lost. I give her the look of 'I'll tell you after' and she nods.
Mathew Walker is his dad. Mark Murphy owes money to his dad. Mark's son is Lucas. If he doesn't pay det in time Lucas is gonna be in a coffin, buried alive.
"Excuse me for a moment." I say getting up and walking out. I see Sadie get up too and the guys give us weird stares.
I pull out my phone and dial Lex, even if I just saw her 4 minutes and 37 seconds ago.
"Hello?"
"It's me, don't you dare look surprised." I say.
"Ahh, my favourite person in the world. How may I help you?"
"Does Mathew have a son?" I ask, very impatiently, I may add.
"Ya why?"
"Our school?"
"Ya, why?"
I quickly turn off the phone and look surprised. I took Sadie and placed my hands on her shoulders.
"We got ourselves a keeper."

Sadie's (Tia) P.O.V:
Everything clicks. Oh my Lord. I feel like I just had a brain fart. Now I'm processing everything in my brain, while Cora keeps staring at Ethan. Suddenly a wave of senior boys floods the halls, but one in particular looks oddly familiar. He keeps staring at me but keeps walking. Eh, just gonna let him slip, not like he's important or anything... right? I grab Cora's hand.
"C'mon, we need to crack him."
"Crack him? He already cracked, he's so mean I don't want to see his ugly face yelling at me again."
"Ugly face? He looks decently cute. Even if he cracked, you still got him to tell you his name."
"It's not like he's actually cute. If I didn't know better Tia, I'd say you have a crush, and didn't I warn you about crushes, they're bad and mean and in all movies you get crushed having a crush, thus the name."
I sigh, giving up. She's always right.
My feet started moving back towards the cafeteria.
"There's no point, the bells about to ring, we have one more class and then we go home. Let's go to our lockers." She points out and starts dragging me towards the stairs.

"Hey you guys, how was school?" Asks Lexi from her desk. We made it home and managed not to die by her horrible driving.
"School was good, school was great actually." I open my mouth to speak but Cora beats me to it.
"Well I found Lucas, and he's really open."
"Well we found Ethan. He wants to kill your little friend of a Murphy. You better protect him."
"Wait a minute... who's Ethan?" Asks Lexi.
"Ethan Walker. Hope your little brain can process it all." Cora snaps.
"Ya I know who he is alright. He's the guy who was flirting with me at lunch." Lexi points out. Cora scoffs.
"Why would anyone flirt with a stuck up snob like you? Besides, he couldn't, he has lunch with us." As you can tell, I do not have say in this conversation.
"Has it ever come to your mind that some people skip classes?"
"Ya rebels... Like you."
"And if your Ethan wants to kill Lucas, that makes him a rebel,"
"First off, he's not my Ethan. Second off, I wouldn't mind killing you, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a rebel, does it?" Cora knows she won the argument, and Lexi scoffs, knowing she's been beaten.
"Whatever."
"You guys, I'm going to go..." I say slowly getting up from the bed and heading towards the doorway.
"Where are you..."
"Sure, go ahead." Cora cut of Lexi. I turn around and head back to my room.

Coraline's P.O.V:
"Agent Sparks, boss wants you in the office." Says someone from behind me, breaking my train of thought. I open my eyes slightly, only to be greeted by the beautiful sun setting on the calm, salty ocean.
"Thank you," I mutter to myself. I was currently sitting on a big blanket which was laying on top of the hot sand, meditating to clear all of my thoughts and relieve all of my stress. I hear some shuffling behind me and a couple of murmurs. I shut my eyes again, not bothering to turn around because I already knew who it was. I felt heat coming in contact with my arm but I could care less right now.
"Cora?" I don't respond, "Cora?"
"What?" I snapped, slightly annoyed. Opening my eyes quickly, I meet their gaze. "What do you want from me right now?" I snap once again. Their eyes start to boil, indicating a dangerous, and hard glare in return. Their hands reach up to grab my throat very quickly the very second I look away from our staring contest. This throws me off guard and I make a really hard connection with the sand below me. It itches my back, the roughness subbing against me. The air escapes from my lungs, then she takes the invitation to squeeze harder. I start coughing hard and kicking with no pattern. The back of my knee comes in contact with her throat and jaw. I realize this and push my knee really hard which makes her release the grip she had on me. What have we become? Their head snaps towards me and her eyes tell me she is really pissed. She jumps at me once again which she very easily pins me down.
"I I didn't do anything to you!" I spat.
"Really? What happened to 'don't leave people behind and they won't leave you'? What happened to that?" She asks with venom dripping off of her tight voice, thanks to me. I open my mouth to say something, but instead, greeted with a lovely high punch to the face, which knocks me out instantly.
