Nothing today has gone the way I'd planned it. First period I ended up stuck with Aiden as my science partner. I brushed my irritation off because I'm dating the guys sister. But the few comments here and there were starting to get me.

Ignoring him, well that didn't turn out well. Apparently, the guy isn't as laid back when it comes to guys dating his sister as I first thought.

Things just went from bad to worse when he dropped the scalpel on the floor and asked, "Why don't you just dump Dainy." More like demanded, and loudly too.

"No," I laughed.

That quickly turned physical when the guy pissed me off, "Tell me Orniel, your stepmother knows your daddy's still tapping that Assistant of his."

It was no sooner than those words left his mouth did my fist go flying into his face and I didn't let up.

Mrs Randley sent us to the office after Lucan and Connor broke us apart. With the schoo

"Who's doing the freshman and who's handling the transfers?" I ask the four girls sitting around the table of the lab room we are using for our first squad meeting.

"I'll do the transfers and let you know what we got." Candice says. Her green-eyed smile perks up to a full one eighty degrees, and her foot tapping annoying the crap out of me. Her mood changes never leave for a dull moment.

"Paula, help her. Jessica, you and Donna can handle the newbies and lemme know how many we got. Just remember there's only three spots on the squad and maybe an extra if Sammy doesn't comeback before next week."

Donna twirls her finger around her red hair, "I don't think she's coming back until Valentine's Day." Her brown eyes drift to Jessica.

"She tweeted pics of her mother leaving Malibu this morning." Jessica helpfully fills us in, before she glares at Donna.

The two have been dating for two yea

One year. Twelve months, yet everything has changed. When I came down July last year, things were still the same. Reagan administrating his leadership skills to his father by ruling the school. Lucan still coming to terms with his parents that were never around. Connor Beckley hooked on Asher Mckenzie's ‘virgin vagina.' Aiden Hallow manning the kegs with Jace Stone, while Liam watches them, hoping just one day they'll notice that he's right over there.

And Dainy, my sweet and vicious little spit-fire, still pining over Orniel, not paying attention to what's right in front of her.

A lot can happen in a short time, because I wasn't looking either. My friends have all changed, strangers to me now. Even Liam is hardly recognizable, except he's still following Dainy around. And Dainy, she finally got what she thought she wanted, Reagan.

The bastard must be feeling all smug and shit. He finally got her where HE wanted her. Had a taste of that which others have taunted him with for years.

Only he knows now that the stories were lies. Made up tales, to throw in his face. A silent fuck you Orniel. Reagan has always been a friend, a good friend. But I share something far more than friendship with Dainy, we had a connection when we dated. She felt it. I felt it. We couldn't understand it, because we hated each other so much.

It was dangerous what we brought out between the two of us. I backed off because she was young, I was young, but I'm back now, and it's time Dainy Hallow started paying attention.

The cafeteria is buzzing with the news of Dainy and Orniel. The females already plotting ways to break them up. The guys are pissing themselves because who didn't claim they slept with Dainy? The answer to that is one man, Me.

One might find this hard to believe but I avoid lying. My grandfather told me a time or few that there's nothing more powerful than truth. My grandmother was there at one of those times. She said that it only works when one has the facts. Because what are facts if not secrets.

"Sabastian," Lucan yells across the cafeteria. Six months ago, that would've had me walking up to him.

Now I just sit right here, staring.

The small smile on my lips increase a little more when he walks the distance.

"Yo man, why didn't you tell me you sitting by your lonesome."

I stand up and right my blazer closing the buttons. My hand sticks out to shake his. The Delroy ring shining on my left index finger.

Lucan notices it and he's eyes widen a fraction. A spark of jealousy shrouds his eyes. He schools it back in place showing he's a true friend and says, "Congrats man."

I take my hand back, locking my fingers behind my back, "Good to see you too Jack."

The cafeteria starts filling once the bell goes off. Lucan notices my eyes darting behind him, and he gets that fucking glint, the one that always gets us in heaps of trouble.

"Have you seen Dainy?

"That's a loaded question." I did see Dainy. But she didn't see me.

I don't tell him that though. I catch Reagan and Connor walking toward us.

I watch Reagan and for the first time since I met Reagan in first grade, I want to hurt him. I want to make him pay for taking what is mine.
