Shane's POV
It was finally the holidays! 6 weeks till my senior year and I was pumped. I was walking side by side with my bro Dan in the mall, we normally didn't get along very well, he was 21 and seemed to be into the whole 'messing with peoples heads' thing. He knew how to play people, to control them. I could never be like that, I am popular at my school but I don't wanna go shoving that in peoples face's.
I took a look at my brother from side on, he has brownish-blackish hair and grey eyes and snake-bites on his bottom lip. Dan turned his head and raised an eye-brow. Quickly I turned away from him not realising I had been staring.
I snuck a look at him to see if he had noticed he just gave me a lop-sided smile and a wink. I stopped where I was.
'Dude what the hell? Don't wink at me that's creepy.' I snapped, jokily. Dan paused and turned around to face me.
'As I recall, you were checking me out.' I leapt on him playfully but Dan wrestled me to the ground with no trouble at all. He pushed his knee on my chest and I started coughing and kicking madly.
'Dude! So. Not. Funny anymore!' I managed to choke out.
'Naw, look at the lil' tough guy trying not to cry.' Dan mocked with fake sincerity.
'GET OFF YOU FAT-' Dan jumped and landed back on me with a thud. ' UHHHHH, sheit!'
'Oi.' I turned my head as much as I could to see a chubby male security guard heading for us.
'Oops, time to go.' Dan jumped off me and pulled me too my feet.'So, uh, I'm gonna run, meet you outside in say, five minutes?' My eyes widened, he can't be serious the guard is like ten yards away.
'Dan I think-'
'Okay catch ya.' Dan turned and bolted. I took a glimpse at the guard once more and rolled my eyes.
'Shit.' I began to jog then moved into a run, dodging other customers and jumping over a bench.
'Oi, Stop!' Did he really think that would make people stop I wondered changing into a sprint. Hey mate stop running! Oh yeah sure why didn't you just ask?' My feet pounded on the polished floor and I could see the exit in the clearing, I grinned taking a look over my shoulder to see there were about 3 more security guards chasing me. I turned my head around and gulped cursing in my head.
Finally I reached the doors and kept my speed as I turned a corner, knowing they gave up I turned my head once more and laughed victoriously until I ran into a pole.
'FUCK!' I collapsed in a heap on the ground as pain pounded through my head. I squeezed my eyes shut and held my head while gasping for breath. I felt somebody stand over me, watching me.
'So, you made it, huh?' I squinted an eye open to see Dan standing over me with a smug look on his face. 'Took your time.'
'Dick.' Dan laughed.
'Need a hand?' Dan stretched his hand down to me. I took it and he pulled me too my feet, once again. Once I was stable I noticed a cute blonde standing next to my brother. She had a slim figure and greyish-blue eyes as well as pink lips, she wore no make-up, not they she needed any. She wore long light blue skinny jeans and ballet flats.
'Hi.' I stumbled. She blushed before answering.
'Hey.' She smiled, with her arms behind her back she swayed nervously. Dan grinned and took a step in between us.
'Oh, how rude of me, I almost forgot to introduce you two.' He hooked and arm around my sore neck causing me to cringe.
'This is my brother, and this,' He gestured to the girl with his spare hand,' This is Cynthia.'
************bleep*********bleep******bleep****
Jolted awake I raised my hand and slapped down the 'off'' button on the alarm clock. I turned back into the doona and snuggled into the warmth. Almost falling back to sleep when there was a loud knock on the door.
'What?!?' I called in a complaining tone.
'You have a visitor.' Beth called out. Beth is pretty much our butler but she hires other people for us to do the cooking and cleaning.
'If it's Cynthia tell her that I died in a car crash, and my last wish was for to go to hell!'
'It's not Cynthia, she says her name is Scarlett.'
What? Does that girl never sleep? Against my will I jumped out of bed and peeped out the window, and sure enough Scarlett was waiting at the front porch with a tray of two coffee's.
''Send her up.' I called back too Beth with less forcefulness. I darted to the closet and changed into decent clothing when Scarlett barged in.
'Hey you should knock, what if I was getting changed?'
'Then there would be tension. I quite like tension, it causes awkwardness which makes boys blush and that is something I wouldn't miss.' I frowned deeply, what the hell is she on about?
'Okay...Awsome.' She smiled and moved over to my desk, placing the tray down and sitting in my desk chair.
'So I didn't get to see the results of our little plan, did it all go well?' I asked taking a seat on my bed.
'Yes, Cynthia got in a hell of a lot of trouble for the laptop, they were going to call the police on her but she but her parents bribed the principle so shes on probation.'
'You should have told me earlier. How did you know I would have the combo to her locker?' Scarlett shurged and smiled evily unwilling to reveal her answer. I raised my eyebrow
and stared at her in curiosity. She sighed deeply.
'I knew because Lucy told me that-
'Who?'
'Lucy, the one who was following me around yesterday?' I was clueless.' Well she has the locker across the hall from Cynthia's and she said you left her gifts or a note in her locker sometimes.'
'So?' I replied defensivly, its not like then I knew who she really was. Scarlett rolled her eyes.
'So, you had to know the code to do that!'Scarlett handed me a coffee. I stared at it for a moment, I'm really fussy with coffee
but despite my hesitation I took a sip, I didn't want to offend the only person I could trust, apart from Dan.. It was surprisingly good.
'Wow this is really good.'
'Thought you would like it, its a Cappuccino.Steamed milk, espresso shot and-'
'I know what a cappuccino is!' I interuppted. 'So, why did you plant the laptop on Cynthia? You obviously knew she wouldn't get in much trouble.' Scarlett just shook her head
like I was completely clueless.
'Making the first move is essential, that way we can figure out if they strike back with anger or confidence. Consider it a test and we will have out results soon.'
