"Ravyn, I don't even know if I'm into guys," Cal whispered harshly.
"Torin isn't a guy, he's a man, and you're into him," the willowy girl insisted, pushing her cousin forward roughly. He groaned, which caught Torin's attention, distracting him from whatever was on his phone.
"Oh, hey, Cal," Torin greeted politely. He looked over the blond's shoulder at Ravyn, who was definitely up to something. She had a smile on her face that only showed up when she was being devious.
"Did Ravyn put you up to something? Because I promise I can take her any day, no matter what she says," the other man spoke. He didn't have a chance to say more before Cal was, probably stupidly, kissing him. As he pulled away, he saw a shocked Torin, and the blond swore under his breath. He was going to kill Ravyn. This had been a horrible idea.

The Coalition: Somewhere between a secret society, an organized crime family, and a government body, they rule the world from the background. Located on the outskirts of Carvell, a smaller sized town, is the training academy for students aged 15 to 21. Filled with students studying business and teaching, the school also trains assassins and spies. These students go on to infiltrate national governments, kill kings and queens, start and end wars, and cause more chaos and drama than is sanctioned by their leaders.
Enter Ravyn White, Excalibur "Cal" Cole, Torin Sloane, and Atticus "Ace" Blackbourne. A spy with a grudge and a penchant for insulting people, a grumpy assassin with misplaced loyalty, a reluctant assassin who would rather Cal figures his crap out already, and a spy that is rumored to have failed his psych eval. Their friendships are complicated, strange, and sometimes unhealthy, but what else is there to expect from four older teenagers with body counts from their beds and their weapons?
"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario.
"What?", Brandon asked completely startled.
I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour.
"Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie.
"Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth.
Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room.
"What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie.
But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him?
I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room.
I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body. With my neurological system not responding anymore.
