Killian POV

For the entire week I did what I was told. Went to school, pretend to pay attention in math class, went to Arlo's home and trained Alek and Alex, after that I showered, then I'd get ready and go to Kaytlin's BnB but I've been prohibited by Arlo since I was caught ditching classes to go to her place and help out. It's not like I need to stay and learn, I already knew the stuff they were teaching but for Arlo I had to make an effort to live life like a normal teenager. Once Wednesday hit it was all tests that I easily answered. For my math class final, Mr.Robinson gave me different test and told me if it was hard for me to solve then I could take the test everyone else was taking. I skimmed over the test and it was calculus problems. I grinned because this was up my alley but still wasn't hard to answer. Once I finished the test, I looked over the class and no one had finished yet. We had an hour and a half to finish our test and I finished in half an hour. Before I got up I checked my work again and once I did I got up and turned it in. I went back to my desk and retrieved my stuff as I was allowed to go once I finished my test. As I left I looked over Mr. Robinson's face and was surprised I easily answered the problems.

Did he think calculus was going to be difficult for me? Or was he trying to challenge me?

I soon got my answer because he smiled at my work.
Alek and Alex won't be finished for another hour. I decided to text Alek and Alex that I finished my last final and I was heading to the house. It took me a while to get adjusted to my new phone. Arlo insisted I get a phone. His excuse was that he was a cop and he needed to know that if I was ever in trouble I could contact him or for emergencies. I repeatedly told him I could handle myself but he knew that as well. I knew the real answer he wanted me to act like a teenager, but I seriously don't see why I need to act like anything. I want to be me and Arlo just needs to accept that....with time, he's stubborn.

Once I finished sending the text, I saw James out in the hall by Alek's locker he was slipping a note in there. As I walked towards his direction, he look surprised I was out of class early.

"Why are you out of class?" He said accusingly

"I finished my last final early" I said honestly

"Sure.....seriously why are you out of class?" He asked again

"I seriously finished my last final early" I said agin almost frustrated.

"Don't you have math?" He questioned

"Yeah" I sighed

"What you'd slip in Alek's locker?" I added observing his every move. He was shaking like he had been caught doing something illegal.

"None of your business" he gritted his teeth

"Ok than I'll ask Alek later than, then I'll tell it was you who put in there" I blackmailed

He was panicking. And I had to step up and try to calm him down.

"Chill dude just breath, if it means anything I won't say anything to Alek"

He looked up at me and looked relieved.

"Can I at least ask if it's a confession" I smilingly told him
