I sat in class trying my best to help Jasper with her love confession. "Jasper it's not a full god damn love letter its just a note." I hissed.

"What crawled up your ass and died?" She pouted noticing my dark eyes.

"Some bitch from my......old city came up. My family doesn't really like her and now they are taking stricter precautions. I have to get picked up from now on." I mumbled.

"Was this girl in some kind of gang."

"Basically" I put my chin to the table.

The substitute, Mr. Langner, put a sheet on our desk. "Come on girls, do your work first."

Jasper swooned and I rolled my eyes. "You sure James is the kid you like?"

She chuckled and hit my back to sit up. "Say it again Morgan, and I'll hit you with my flute."

"Just tell him to meet you after school." I mumbled.

"Are you going to be there with me?" She asked hopefully.

"Yes. Now ask to go to your locker." I snapped. She raised her hand and got permission.

I soon raised my hand after. "Hi sorry. I think I left my notebook in my last class. Do you mind if I go get it?" I asked

"Where is it?"

"Second floor E wing." I smiled. He nodded and I got up. Jasper was shaking waiting for me.

"Do you know his locker?" She asked. I punched her shoulder. "Ow ow ow!!" She whined.

"You were supposed to know that!"

"I'm not completely positive." She shrugged.

"Oh my fucking- What about his violin case?"

"You're a genius!!" She smiled.

She led me to the band room where the teacher wasn't inside. "Damn."

"Want to see a little secret?" She smiled pushing in the door hard. The door busted open and I watched in shock.

"Wow look at you!!" I smirked. She ran in and slipped the note into a violin case. She ran out and shut the door.  "This locker trip is taking a while."  I smiled.

She gasped and ran down the hallway. I strolled after her. To make it seem like we weren't in cohorts.

Jasper came up to me sulking. "Whats up?"

"James found out it was me."

"How?"

"He knows my handwritting." She whined.

"Did he reject you?" I asked ready to comfort her.

"No. He just now knows its me who needs to talk to him. I wanted it to be a surprise."

I rolled my eyes. "You might as well just tell him."

"No. No one must know. People will sabatoge. Pearl is always lurking around somewhere."

"No. We aren't waiting till afterschool. Unless you want my aunt to watch." I laughed walking away

"Where are you going?" She screamed.

"To find James." I said turning the corner. She's trying to call my bluff. I peeked back to see her smiling.

"Fine fine." I smirked. "But tell him before I leave."

"Wow this old friend of yours must be pretty bad."

My little bubble of reality bursted. I am still being hunted. My aunt isn't picking me up casually. Shes doing it to minimalize the areas where the blond woman can get me. My body gave a cold shudder. Austin.
