Kaitlin walked in Playa Linda High School. People were all over the place. They were at their friends' lockers, the office, homeroom, everywhere. She walked up to her locker and began to unlock it. She opened the lock and placed her back pack in the locker. As she looked at her schedule, hands covered her eyes. She smiled.

"Guess who," the person whispered.

"Hmm," she thought, "are you Paul Walker?"

"No."

"Greg Raposo?"

"No. One more guess."

She hesitated to answer as she thought. "My boyfriend, Ray?"

"Correct," he said uncovering her eyes and placing a rose in front of her.

She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. "And, how's my man?"

"Oh he just get better," he said kissing her.

"Do you have to do that in front of my locker?" their friend Bradin asked.

"Sorry, Brae," Kaitlin said.

"You better be," he said as they moved out of the way. He looked at them. He saw Ray watching Kaitlin as she gathered her books. She closed her locker and he literally grabbed the books out of her hands. "You two are so happy around each other," he said closing his locker.

"I love her," Ray said.

"And, I love him."

"You two better be in love. You've been together for 3 years," he said as they walked to homeroom.

"I'll see you in lunch, Brae," Ray said. He turned to Kaitlin. "And, I will see you at your locker after school."

"That's the only bad thing about being born a year apart," she said.

"I know. I'll make it up to you," he said.

"And, how are you going to do that?"

"I'll find a way."

"Fine," she said.

He kissed her and ran off to his homeroom.

Throughout the day, Ray saw Kaitlin in the hallway but didn't have time to walk her to class because they were going opposite ways. She understood that, too. That's what he loved about her. She was always honest with him and told him how she felt about everything. They always smiled at each other when they walked by. He would blow her kisses and she would catch them.

On his way to his locker before lunch, he saw a crowd surrounding a few people.

"Stop!" he heard. He knew the voice. He ran up to the crowd and squeezed through. He saw Kaitlin up against a locker trying to fight Tanner off of her. Bradin was being held back by one of his friends.

"Hey!" he shouted, "Get your hands off of her!"

"Aww," Tanner said, "Her boyfriend has come to save her."

"I said get your hands off of her," Ray said punching Tanner. "Touch her again and i will have you arrested."

"Oh please," Tanner said punching Ray.

"Stop!" Kaitlin yelled.

"Shut up!" Tanner yelled raising his fist. He went to swing when it was caught. He turned behind him and saw a teacher.

"If you touch her, i will call the police," the teacher said, "You and Ray to the office now!"

Ray ran up to Kaitlin. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine," she said, "Go before you get in more trouble."

After school, Ray ran up to Kaitlin's house. He got out of the principal's office once everyone left school. He knew that Kaitlin wouldn't wait for him, especially since he would be suspended from school. He rang the doorbell and waited there for a few minutes until the door opened.

"Baby," he said, "I'm sorry."

"You promised me you wouldn't punch another guy during school," she said, "Goddamn it, Ray. You swore to me that you wouldn't touch another guy until summer or we're out of school whether he touched me or not."

"I'm sorry."

"You're always sorry!" she yelled, "And yet, you always punch a guy! You don't know how much it hurts when you break a promise!"

He looked away knowing how much pain he caused after breaking something that meant more than anything to Kaitlin.

"There's something that you need to know," he said.

She watched him reach into his coat pocket and took out a gun. "RAY!" she yelled reaching for it. He backed away. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"It's time you found out my secret," he said. He held the gun up to his head.

"RAY!" she yelled moving it away from his head. The two fought and fought until... BANG!

BRADIN

Bradin sat at his desk doing his homework when the telephone rang.

"Bradin!" Jay yelled.

He got up and walked out of his room. He saw Jay hang the phone up slowly and turn towards him. "What's going on?" Bradin asked.

"Something has happened," Jay said, "We need to go to the hospital."

"Why?"

"Someone close to you got shot," he said, "Come on."
