(A/N Huge Twenty-one pilots fans and I thought this song was kinda appropriate?! No?

Also I've changed the cover, what do you guys think of it, do you prefer it? I just thought my last one looked a little odd and random, considering that sitting alone on some train tracks in the middle of nowhere, has nothing to do with my story!

Anyway I will let you get on and read , I hope you enjoy this chapter!)

"Well, well, well"His menacing voice echoed done the hall "What do we have here?"

My throat chocked up dry at the sight of him, he was the last person I wanted to be dealing with right now.

Fay span around from the locker, her eyes widening as soon as she laid her eyes on him. Her lips parted as if she were about to say something but no words ever left her mouth.

"Now, if my memory serves me correctly" Finn pondered aloud, his footsteps of his trainers loudly squeaking down the hallway "That's my brother locker you're ..." He paused arching his eyebrow in thought "defacing"

My eyes whirled from Fay's dumbstruck frozen features to Finn's amused expression. She didn't look as though she was going to speak so I mumbled a start of an explanation  "Oh no she wasn't-" I cringed "defacing . . ."

What could I say? Nothing could explain away this situation.

His gaze was penetrating and severely probing my own eyes with twisted amusement dancing in his concealed smile. My heart thudded loudly in my eyes  "uh-um we were just  . . ." I shot a wide eyed look of desperation at Fay. Why wasn't she helping me?

Her eyes flickered over to me, dancing from Finn to me.

She then seemed to be pulled out of her trance as she she shot up with a fit of forced laughter "Oh we were just leaving him a harmless message" She turned and scribbled on his locker with the pen before wiping it off with the cuff of her sleeve "It rubs right off-see? Like it was never even there!"

"That's the magic of dry erase pens" I muttered.

"Fascinating" He mocked, he didn't seem particularly interested by Fay's mini demonstration on how dry-erase pens work. Instead looked upon the both of us as if we were completely insane, his eyebrows climbing up his face.

The sound of Fay's high pitched boyband ringtone suddenly engulfed the hallway, loudly bouncing of the metal lockers. She jumped up in fright at the sound, as me and Finn both stared her down.

"Old ringtone" She mumbled.

The blush on her cheeks was evident as she retrieved it from her back pocket. "Hello?"

I couldn't make any sense of the conversation as Fay was mostly listening and nodding to herself. However I could tell it was her Mum on the phone, by the way Fay's demeanor instantly became alert and her expression guarded.

Finn caught my eye as he finished walking the space of the hallway and stopped a couple of steps away from me. I met his gaze with only slight hesitation feeling bold as his eyes ran over me with open curiosity now that Fay was preoccupied.

I watched as his dark eyes dropped down to my lips and it was then that I realized I had been nervously sucking down on my bottom lip.
