Marcus is recruited into the King's Dominion, a school for those who wish to become killers for revenge. He finds out just how screwed up the system is even in some underground assassin school. Ace could care less about rep, all she cares about is l...

I'm sitting here dabbing a wet paper towel on Marcus's shirt, and missing first period. I'm already getting antsy at the thought of missing class. Marcus is leaning back against the countertop while wiping down his jacket and pants because I refuse to go lower than his chest and head. I dragged him into the girls room because that's what he gets for making me miss class and I don't really want to see a urinal. I've already had a shit day today so far, pun intended.
I made him stick his head under the sink so I could rinse his hair out as quick as possible. After trying my best to dry it with a spare handkerchief I found in my uniform, I begin to run my fingers through his hair as a means to comb it in place. His curls are already becoming defined even without his hair being completely dry. I like how they hang down and make his eyes look more hooded. It really adds to his mastered emotionless face, that I secretly want.
He looks up at me as I desperately try to brush his curls back. He smiles at me and reaches up to grab my hand.
"Thank you, Ace. At least someone here isn't a complete narcissistic asshole" he says with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face. I smirk back at him and take a small step bak to create some distance.
"So I'm only a little bit of an asshole?" I ask him. He smirks widens at me.
"I think to go to this school, you have to be at least 40% asshole or you don't meet the qualifications" He says. I chuckle because he's pretty spot on. It's silent as I continue to clean him up until the annoyance in him bubbles over.
"Seriously, what was that guys problem? Hurting a girl, like that. Some macho man he is" he scoffs at the last part. I agree completely with him, but it's hard to stop someone with as much power as Chico.
"Chico's father is one of the biggest drug cartels out there, that's why he has so much power. He's been taught to belittle and hurt those weaker than him and if you cross him, he will kill you" I pause to let the information seek in. Marcus has thoughtful look on his face.
"That girl he pushed, Maria. Why is she even with him? I saw her face, she was scared before she tried to play it off" he says to me while pushing a hand through his hair. I frown scornfully at the mention of the abuse against Maria.
"She's only with him because he has rep and as she said 'it's dangerous without a gang, but at this point I think it's because Chico won't let her leave. He has power and if she tried to walk away from him, Chico would track her down to the ends of the earth if he had to. All because he can't stand the fact that she doesn't want to be with him" I inform him in an seething voice with hidden sympathy for Maria. Marcus sits there in poorly concealed anger. I'm reminded that Marcus is in trouble and I know for a fact that Chico won't just simply let this go. I reach out and place a hand on his shoulder to gain his attention.
