Love Should Never Be This Dangerous.

1.4/ Alice's POV.

Oh, crap!

Owen saw Ryan kiss me!

I bet he thinks there's something going on between us.

When Owen shuts the door, Ryan turns back to me and smiles.

"Now, where were we?" He asks and leans in again.

"Hold up. Ryan I don't like you like that." I say putting my finger up against his lips.

"So? I like you like that." He says and moves my finger out the say and leans in again.

Can this guy not take a hint?!

"No, Ryan. Please stop." I say trying to wiggle out of his grip.

"Fine." He says annoyed and walks out of the storeroom.

I just didn't wanna kiss him.

He shouldn't be annoyed.

I just didn't wanna kiss him.

I walk out of the storeroom and sit back down.

Ryan is already back in his seat texting on his phone.

I continue my painting and talk to the girl next to me.

"Alice! Wait up!" Thea yells from across the hall.

I stop and smile at her.

She starts to run over to me.

Every guy turns to look at her while she runs.

I've never really notice that she's really pretty.

Like, really pretty. I feel a little self conscious now.

"Wanna go for our spot for lunch?" She says when she gets to me.

"Yeah, sure." I say still looking at all the guys watching her.

We walk over to the window seat and start eating.

"So was art?" She asks taking a bite of her pizza.

She literally never puts on any weight.

"It was... interesting." I say looking at the football field.

"How so?"

"Well Ryan kissed me." I say looking at her.

"Ryan McArther?!" She asks with a mouth full of pizza in her mouth.

"Yeah. It was nothing really. He's just confusing." I say tucking some hair behind my ear.

"Can I give you some advice?" She asks.

"Of course."

"I'd stay away from him. Ryan has a reputation and it's pretty bad. His whole friend group is bad. He's in one of the worst gangs ever." She says.

Gang?!

"What do you mean 'gang'?" I ask.

"You don't know about The Night Walkers?!" She says surprised.

"The who?"

"Well, The Night Walkers are one of the worst gangs there has ever been. It consists of more than 20 people and they take turns is hurting people. More than half of them go to this school and Ryan is one of them. Alice, when I say you don't wanna get involved with them, I mean it. They kill anyone without a second thought. And what happened to Miles, one of them did it." She says.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"You and Owen. The leader of The Night Walkers name is Dennis. Owens brother. One of the guys in the gang saw you talking to Owen and let's just say Dennis doesn't like people intruding sign his and his brothers feud. Instead of hurting you, he hurt your brother." She says.

Dennis. He was the one who came to my house with Toby.

Is Toby bad too?

"Thea, how do you know all of this?" I ask.

"I keep my ears open and my mouth shut. But if you wanna know more, I would suggest you talk to Owen and his gang."

"Owen has a gang?"

"Yeah. The Shadows. There's less than 20 people but more than 10. No one really knows who is in that gang because they only show up when someone is in trouble with The Night Walkers. Don't worry, Owens gang is good. They keep most of East London safe." She says taking one last bite of her pizza.

I look out the window again.

"Thea, I was supposed to tell her all of that." Someone says behind me.

I turn my head and see Owen standing there leaning on the wall.

"Sorry Owen. But you just took too long." She says shrugging.

"I'm telling Asher." Owen says crossing his arms.

"Well I'm telling Axel." Thea says crossing her arms as well.

"Bitch."

"Jerk."

"Am I missing something here?" I ask looking at both of them.

"I'm in The Shadows as well." Thea says.

"What?!" I yell.

Owen and Thea look at each other and then at me.

It's silent for a while but then Owen breaks the silence.

"You really shouldn't of moved to this town."
