An Assassin's Priority (Book 1 of the Cole Series)

Jason's POV
Sighing as I drove Adriana to Scarlett like she requested, I thought about me spoiling my sister too much. I parked at the side as we went down with our backpacks and took the elevator.

"What do you want to say to her anyway?" I ask Adriana.

"She says to just come." She smiles as we walk to her door and we knock. She opens the door and let us in.

"You ate breakfast already?" She asks.

"Yes."  We replied and she goes to her room and came out with something. She opens the jewelry box, revealing a small ruby necklace and attached it on Adriana's neck.

"It's hard hammering this but it's worth it." She smiles and Spark wags his tail and I notice he has a collar on hid neck.

"I love it." Adriana says. "You're a blacksmith?" She asks.

"Kind of." She replies. "Got the gold and ruby from my mum's drawer and remove the curse thing inside." She states.

"Thank you." Adriana smiles then Scarlett goes to me.

"And you mister need to wear a tie. Be decent for once." She playfully scolds me as she grabs a spare tie from school that smells like flowers just like her as she ties it on me and my mind and hormones drive crazy. How much I want to devour her in our stance wherein I sit on the arm rest of the couch as she puts a knee on the arm rest and focused on the tie until she's done. She fixes her posture and I try to keep my cool.

In her almost usual outfit: high waist black shorts and a maroon spaghetti strap sleeveless shirt but with her black cloak with a hoodie. She grabs her phone and bag including her coffee in a disposable go cup as we all went out and she locks the door and I drove them to school with Spark hanging on Scarlett's backpack.

When we enter the school gates, the usual bevy of girls surrounded me but this time, Scarlett leaves me alone and not standing up for me. Oh well, after all you can't rely on someone all the time. She just gave me a wink before she left and the girls squeal as I excuse myself to leave.

"It's too early Jay." A girl I forgot her name whines.

"I just really need to go. It's urgent." I lie and dragged Adriana to the gym where the program will be held as she went in to the backstage while I turn back and saw Scarlett.

She smirks and gives Spark to me. "Watch him." She orders and I get Spark as Spark whines. "I'll be back, I promise." She smiles at Spark and kissed him on the head.

"Can I get one too?" I tease and smirked at her and she crosses her arms.

"Your lose." She smiles and leaves as I sit on the highest bleachers which is near to the window and you can get a good view and just to avoid the girls. They hated it here since it's too hot bit it's not even sunny. Kim sits beside me and so did Francis.

"Hey man." Francis smiles. "Cute wolf." He compliments and Spark barks as Kim sits beside me, taking the place of Spark and put the wolf on his lap.

"There's this party at Ashley's. Your coming?" Francis asks.

"Nope." Me and Kim replies.

"Nerds." Francis insults.

"Her parties don't serve the best alcohol plus I have stuff to do." I reasoned.

"Same here." Kim smiles while playing Spark's paw as Ashley started lip syncing so Scarlett' probably singing "Someone Like You" by Adele.

A couple songs were played and me and Dray got really bored. "It's boring if the real singers are not singing and it sucks." Dray whines and I sigh until Mrs. Powell or Ms. Chen complains. That continued until the MC taps the mic.
