"I'm just sick and tired of these bullies thinking they can do whatever they want! No risk, no reward. We have to fight." Rafe explains.

"Now that's a musketeer thing to say!" Leo says.

"Do you think we should tell him?" I whisper to Rafe, looking at him.

"Nah. I think we're good. This will be our little secret." He responds looking at me with a small smile on in face.

"Good."

"Hey Teag?"

"Hmm?"

"This probably isn't the best time to tell you but...I like you."

"I do too. I have for a while now."

We both look at each other and smile. While I'm fixed on Rafe, he intwines our hands.

                               (2 days to Blaar)

We are at school at 4 in the morning, doing one last final prank. I'm walking down the hallway and I see Rafe and Leo talking.

"Ready to witness my greatest masterpiece?" Rafe asks Leo.

"Hey Rafe, you okay up there? If you fall I am not giving you mouth to mouth!" Leo says.

"Good! And thanks in advance." He chuckles.

"All of this? For a girl? Is she really worth it?" Leo asks.

"Leo, for Tegan Asherson, I would walk through fire, just to see her smile."

"Aww, Rafe's gotta crush."

"What's not to love? She's beautiful, smart, awesome, sarcastic. I love everything about her."

"So when are you gunna ask her out?"

"Dude, I don't think I can. I'm too dorky for her. I've been kicked out of two schools."

"Which makes you cool. Besides, what if she likes you back?"

"Doubt it."

I start walking towards them.

"What are you guys talking about?" I ask.

"Nothing." Rafe says, immediately.

🖊

We climb in the window.

"Rafe!" Georgia whispers.

"Geez, are you trying to make me have a heart attack?!" I exclaim.

"Where have you been?" Georgia asks.

"Its none of your business, now go to bed!" Rafe says.

"Can't sleep." She says. "Wanna know why? I'm worried about you! Are you happy? You turned my into a grandma!"

"Georgia, you're gunna need at least 5 cats before your officially a grandma."

"Guys, this is serious!"

"Georgia, don't cry. 'Kay, We're fine!"

"No you're not! You're secretive. And when you're not sad, you're angry." Georgia says. "I came in here tonight to warn you. I don't know what you're up to every night, but it has to stop, whatever it is! Because if Bear catches you, he'll ship you off to some military school for bad kids!"

"What?!" Rafe and I ask, shocked.

"I heard him talking to Mom tonight. You have him believing that you're REALLY messed up!"

"He's the one who's messed up!" Rafe argues.

"Rafe, Tegan, listen. He has it out for us! Promise me that you'll stop!"

"Okay, we promise." I reply.

"Thanks Dorks." She says.

"Yeah, whatever Loser." We say.

She closes the door and leaves. I lay down on the bottom bunk, overwhelmed with the information I just heard. Rafe lays next to me. I lay my head on his shoulder and drift off to sleep.
