A/N: What's up World? I just finished Chapter 4, titled "Have A Nice Day", and here comes the

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ASSASSIN'S CREED. Unfortunately, it's true...

Well, you know what they say: Better late than never. And this story is progressing SLOW. I like to pay attention at minor things. Well, onwards with the story!

'Maths has got to be the least interesting lesson EVER! And it's not helping that I'm sitting behind these computer-maniac girls. Haven't they noticed that I can see with whom they're texting? Not to mention them whispering DAMN loud."

"I mean, did you know that?"

"No, but, if she says so, it's gotta be that way?"

"Yes, but... Kadar? I didn't think he was THAT stupid!"

"Come on now, Becky! I told you, if she says so, that's it!"

"Wow. Big brother really is watching you."

"You should have said 'Big Sister', in our case"

'Come on, man! Even IF I wanted to pay attention to that fatso, I wouldn't been ABLE to. Oh, great, here comes the airmail. I'll be very lucky if that shuttle doesn't hit me in the head.'

"What is he saying?"

"I don't know, I can't read if you keep pushing me!"

'Just great.'

"Oh, no!"

"What-Where? What happened, Lucy?"

"A damn VIRUS is what happened! It hit the computer in the Library, and Shaun says they won't fix it 'till Friday! You know what that means Beck, don't you?"

"Lucy! How are we going to survive without all these movies, songs, and games we had downloaded?"

"I don't know Becca! We're DOOMED!"

If Desmond wasn't in class, he would be laughing loud enough to scare a wolf pack away. For now, he had to compromise with giggling.

" Quit it, dumb-ass! Some of us are trying to sleep."

'What the he- Oh God... No ... Not that voice!"

"Oh, look-y who we've got here! Miss me, Arschloch?"

'You gotta be kidding me... And I don't even know what he called me... This is going to be a hell of an hour...'

"Hey, you!" Lucy had turned around, and held a note.

"What?"

"Can you give this to Sibrand?"

"Uh, sure."

'I hope it doesn't say "Kill him." or something like that.'

"Hey, psycho! You got a love letter from the blonde girl sitting in front of me."

"Oh, great! Let's see what Nerd #1 wants this time." Desmond gave him the note. He waited for Sibrand to read it.

"Tell her I'm not interested. Unless... they pay me." Desmond decided against his side that urged him to say "I'm not going to be your messenger! Why can't you two talk like normal people?"

" He says he's not interested unless you pay him."

Driiiiiiiiing

'At last! I'm free of those two nerds and that freak!'

Desmond was walking down the halls, when he saw Lucy and Rebecca trying to negotiate with the psycho.

"Come on now, Sibrand! It's not hard! The only thing we ask you to do is steal Maria's diary."

"Not interested. Unless..."

"What?"

"You pay me. It's not hard!"

"Come on! That's not even fair!"

"What can I say? Life's unfair. It's swim or sink. And if you're gonna swim, Hell, you've gotta let the losers drown. Now, I won't do what you want me to do, unless you give me a motivation to do it. For me, motivation means either money or stuff. It's real simple."

"Okay. What if I buy you cigarettes for one month?"

"Three months."

"One months and two weeks."

"That'll cost you a few beers, too."

"You're not even of legal age!"

"I'm throwing a party. Now, I 'borrow' the damn diary, and you buy me the cigarettes and the drinks. How's that?"

"You're pure "professional", you know that?"

"And yes, I do. Hate I have to leave, but I think it's time to pick some lockers. You wait here."

'Shit, this school really is enrolled by gangsters. But I really should try to talk to the girls. At least they seem friendly.'

"Hey."

"Oh, hey. You're the new kid, right?"

"Aren't you Altair's cousin? You kinda look like him."

"Yes, unfortunately, Altair and Ezio are both my cousins. So, who are you?"

"I'm Rebecca Crane and this is my BFF, Lucy Stillman. We're the computer-nerdy girls of the school!"

"I'm Desmond Miles. And I've started to believe that this place is a huge freak show." The girls giggled and then invited him to sit with them at lunch break. Desmond immidiately accepted, of course. He didn't want to eat his lunch on the floor near the garbage cans. Not again.

At the school's cafe

"Hey Des! Over here!"

Desmond was walking towards the table, when he somebody tripped him and he heard a very familiar voice screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO!" It took him a couple of minutes before registering that the voice was his. And then he was on the cafeteria's floor, like a washed ashore whale. Of course, everybody in Rober's clique was now hysterical with laughter. He would be laughing with them, if this wasn't happening to him. Then he saw a hand offering help.

"You okay, pal?" It was Malik. He let Malik help him get up.

"Yeah. Nothing serious. Just a scratch."

"Let's go. It's probably not the best place to stay."

"Yeah. Thanks."

"It's nothing."

Altair's Home

"Altair?"

"What is it, Desmond?"

"That invitation... Will we go to the party?"

"I don't know... Parties at clubs usually mean getting drunk, and sometimes they involve drugs too. It concerns me that Maria is so eager to go."

"It shouldn't."

"Why, who is the guy with the birthday?"

"Some... Leonardo, or so."

"Then we HAVE to go. He's Ezio's best friend. Ezio will kill us if we don't go. He doesn't like parties at all."

"Then why is he going?"

"Desmond, it's his best friend's birthday. He has to go, but he wants us to be there, to have some company."

"Well, yeah, but... I'm not sure if I want to go."

"Your loss. He usually throws some really good parties."

"Shit, I don't know. Goodnight, Altair."

"Goodnight."

A/N: Damn, I'm SO tired! O.K., that's it Kaiser! No more CSI marathons! And no more SAW marathons too... What do you think? And I have a question: Should I start showing things from the 'Dark Side'too? Or just give hints about it, you know, for the suspense? I have a little surprise for you in the next chapter... ;) Also, what are Lucy and Rebecca up to? It's sure not going to be good...

I'm off to sleep(it's like 4:00 A.M.),
