Scarlett Fitz POV
"Mason Kahn?!" Brielle exclaimed in disbelief.
"Ugh." I sighed burying my face in my hands. "It's not my fault he decided to sit next to me."
"Scarlett you know he's a bad guy." Charlotte said taking a sip of her juice.
"I know, I know." I muttered.
"Well I think it's adorable!" Avalon squeaked clapping her hands together. "The good girl and the bad boy!"
"Sounds like every cheesy romance novel ever invented." Brielle rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Don't be a downer." Avalon pouted. She squealed again. "Can I be a bridesmaid at your wedding?"
I gaped at my friends. "Seriously all of you need to calm down. I've talked to the guy like one time. It's not like I'm going to be running off into the sunset with him anytime soon. I can barely tolerate the guy."
"Good. Mason Kahn is not a good person. He just uses girls to get laid. Believe me he'll hump you then dump you." Brielle said lacing her fingers around her coffee cup.
"I have to agree with Brielle on this one." Charlotte added. "Your parents hate his family for a reason."
"I guess..." I murmured. "Don't worry though it's not like I'll have to see him again."
"Um Brielle are you ok?" Avalon asked. Brielle had gone a sickly shade of white. I followed her gaze to see that she was staring at Dean Maddox.
"Did you break up with him?" I questioned.
"Yeah." Brielle said softly as she tugged down the sleeves of her oversized jumper. Come to think of it Brielle's choice of clothing today was a little strange. She was more of a blazer and skirt kind of girl, before today I don't think I'd seen her in a sweater.
"What happened to his face?" Charlotte asked. Dean's nose was a vibrant shade of purple. "He must have gotten punched."
Just as I was about to ask Brielle if she knew what had happened the bell rang.
"I better get to class." Brielle said jumping up from her seat and running across the quad.
"Something is definitely going on with her." Avalon mused as she stared in the direction Brielle had gone.
(Line Break)
I wandered into History class for the second time this week. I was absolutely dreading this class because going to History meant seeing Mason Kahn. This time it would be different, my friends were right Mason Kahn was a bad guy and I wasn't falling for his tricks.
I walked into the classroom and quickly scanned the premises. I sighed in relief when I realised Mason was nowhere to be seen. I quickly took my seat when I realised Miss Richards was giving me her signature death glare.
I glanced down at the worksheet in front of me and opted for looking out the window. A storm had started and rain was thundering down on the roof. Even though I hated to actually be in the rain, I had always loved the sound of it. I guess hearing the deafening rain was a great distraction from thinking about the psycho stalker that knew everything about you and your friends.
I heard the door to the classroom swing open. "Why are you late for class?" Miss Richards hissed.
"I was busy saving the dolphins Miss Richards." An annoying voice answered. I almost chocked on my own salvia, I thought Mason wasn't at school today.
"Very funny." Miss Richards sneered. "Take a seat!"
"Yes Ma'am." Mason saluted. He started to walk in my direction.
I shifted my long hair so it was curtaining my face. I prayed that Mason wouldn't sit next to me. "Hey Scarlett!" Mason said merrily as he took the seat next to me. Crap, obviously I didn't camouflage very well.
"Hi." I murmured warily, refusing to look him in the eye. I wasn't exactly sure if I could trust Mason. It's not like he'd ever done anything to me personally but he was known for using girls and his newfound interest in me was making me suspicious.
"Jess pay attention!" Miss Richards snapped hitting the desk with her ruler. Jess cowered and mumbled her apology as tears welled in her eyes.
I glared at Miss Richards. "I swear that woman is Satan disguised as a forty thousand year old History teacher."
Mason chuckled. "I like you Scarlett Fitz."
I smiled slightly but quickly turned it into a frown. "That makes one of us."
Mason smirked at me. "Wow Scarlett that one hurt." He placed a hand over his heart in mock hurt. "Right here."
I rolled my eyes at him and started to fill out the worksheet.
"Did you know my dad dated you mom?" Mason asked.
I jerked head up in surprise. "Really?"
Mason nodded. "Maybe that's why they hate each other." I muttered to myself.
"Well just because our families hate each other doesn't mean we can't be friends." Mason said.
I wasn't going to fall for his act. I knew he just wanted to use me, he was that kind of person, everyone knew he was. "I don't think that's a good idea." I said.
Something flashed through Mason's upbeat exterior but it was gone so fast I must have imagined it. I guess he wasn't used to being rejected.
"I'll change your mind." He said softly. I fought I urge to look at him and instead finished filling out my worksheet.
Sitting next to Mason Kahn had to be the most annoying thing in the world. Every time he would answer a question on the sheet he would hum a song and do a retarded little dance in his seat.
"Shut up." I finally growled, after Mason started his third rendition of a Taylor Swift song.
"Don't you hate on my girl Tay-Tay Swift." Mason said in a high pitched voice. I gave him my best death glare. A smirk crossed his face. "Besides I thought you weren't talking to me."
I opened my mouth to give him a piece of my mind. I swear I would have but I was unfortunately interrupted by my psychopathic teacher.
"As you all know you have an assignment coming up. This assignment will stretch over the next three months. You will be researching you and your partner's family history and constructing a video about." Miss Richard said.
"Do we get to choose our partners?" A girl in the front row asked.
"No!" Miss Richards barked. A cold smile then spread across her face. "I will choose your partners."
Her eyes scanned the room looking for her first victims. "Gage Smith and Jess Benson." She continued to list off people and I zoned out.
"Scarlett Fitz and…" I jerked my head up and stared at Miss Richards. She looked around the room. Please not Mason anyone but Mason, I silently prayed. "Mason Kahn."
You've got to be kidding me. Mason chuckled from the seat next to me. "You might want to rethink the whole not talking to me thing because we're going to be spending a lot of time together. Partner."
Screw my life.
(Line Break)
"I'm home." I called as I wandered into my house.
After I had been partnered with Mason the period had ended so I had exited the classroom as fast as I could. I managed to avoid him for the rest of the day. Even though it required me ducking behind a few trashcans and hiding in the janitor's closet when he walked past, it was worth it.
I entered the living room and saw my little sister inspecting a packet of Goldfish crackers.
I sat down on the couch next to her. "What on earth are you doing?"
Ebony continued to examine the packet. "The packet says you can't eat them if the seal is broken. I'm looking for the seal."
I stifled a laugh and looked down at my serious faced little sister. "How about I go open these and you pick out a movie we can watch."
"Yay!" Ebony cheered jumping off the couch and into my arms. I chuckled and ruffled her hair.
"Don't forget to find the seal!" Ebony yelled as I walked into the kitchen.
After finally managing to tear open the packet of crackers I went back to the living room where Ebony was having an internal debate about what movie to watch.
She held up the two movies for me to see. "You need to make up your mind." I said.
Ebony stared at me in confusion. "How do you put make up on your mind?"
I shook my head in amusement. "Never mind. Have you decided what you want to watch?"
Ebony nodded and handed me the disk which I proceeded to put in the DVD player. I sat back down on the couch and Ebony clambered onto my lap. I smiled and transferred my attention to the movie on the screen.
After an hour and a half of obnoxiously happy cartoon characters the credits for the movie started to roll. I glanced down at my little sister who was seemingly asleep on my lap. I always cherished moments like this with her, I didn't know how many I'd have left.
"Scarlett?" Ebony asked softly.
I looked down at my little sister in surprise, I thought she was asleep. "Yeah?"
She looked up at me with tears in her blue eyes. "Am I going to die?"
I could feel the tears well up in my eyes as I looked down at my little sister. "No sweetie, you're going to be fine." I reassured her, quickly pulling her in for a hug.
The scary thing is that I don't know if she will be ok. A tear streaked down my face. I hugged Ebony closer, almost as if I had already lost her.

"Scarlett." A voice called pulling me out of my slumber. My mom brushed strand of loose hair of my hair behind my ear and smiled at me. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm taking Ebony out."
"Ok mommy." I muttered while stifling a yawn. "How long have I been asleep for?"
"A few hours. Ebony woke up a while ago but I let you sleep." My mom said. I nodded.
"I'll see you later baby." She kissed my forehead and walked out of the room.
I pulled the blanket closer around my body since the room had gotten quite cold. My eyes were suddenly drawn to the clock on the wall. The time read 7:00pm. That's weird. Avalon was supposed to come over an hour ago so we could watch reruns of Glee.
I picked up my phone and dialled her number. My call went straight to voicemail. Now something was defiantly going on, Avalon never turned off her phone.
My phone started to ring in my hand. I glanced at the caller ID which read 'Charlotte', I quickly answered the call.
"Scarlett?" Charlotte asked on the other end of the phone.
"Hey Charlotte." I answered my friend.
"Is Brielle with you?" Charlotte questioned worriedly.
"Um no. Why?" I asked.
"She was supposed to come over to my house to help me study around two hours ago." Charlotte said. "She still hasn't shown up. I know I'm probably overreacting but Brielle is never late."
"Charlotte." I said softly. "Avalon was supposed to come over to my house around an hour ago. She also didn't show up."
"Oh no!" Charlotte squeaked as her breathing quickened.
"Charlotte calm down. I'll call the Rivers and the Cavanaughs and ask if Brielle and Avalon are there."
"Ok." Charlotte breathed.
"I'll call you back after. Charlotte, everything's going to be ok."
I hung up the phone and was about to dial the Cavanaugh household when my phone buzzed.
Let's play a game.
Looks like Brielle and Avalon are missing.
You have until midnight to find them or I'll make sure you never do.
Game on bitches!

I gasped and opened the attachment. It was a picture of Brielle and Avalon, their hands were bound and they were gagged.
I squared my jaw and picked up my jacket. There was no way I was letting this stalker hurt my friends.
Game on.
Ok so that was chapter 6. What did you think? What's going to happen to Brielle and Avalon. Next chapter will be from Brielle's POV. Please review!
