Sorry if i didn't update any of my stories for ages!!!!! Really sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary-Lynette felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Ash," she said in a grim voice. They were inside the school compound and some students stop by to see the seemingly popular boy with a weirdo star gazer. "Will you please stop following me?"
"Why?" she almost heard a tone of disappointment in his voice but it turned smug as he put his arm around her shoulders. "We are partners now. Aren't we?"
She shrugged his arms away feeling the electricity he gave her. "Go away!"
This time his pretty face turned sour, "Look I'm doing because I want to know who killed my aunt and since Officer Rowan turned us partners I want you to be…" he looked away. "Comfortable with me."
Mary-Lynette rolled her eyes. She will not fall for some old-time playboy tricks. She got Astronomy to attend. "We will start at lunch."
He smiled, "Lunch."

Mark felt anger towards his sister.
Too young to have a girlfriend, huh. He remembered how her sister reacted upon seeing him with Jade. She acted like an insane person saying stuff like girls like Jade will affect his studies or might hurt him. But what is she doing talking with the infamous Ash Redfern-the rumored leader of some underground school org? Lies.
He gathered his things then went out of their school. To see Jade.
~o~o~o~
Jade was watering the sickening sunflowers when she saw a familiar figure.
"Mark," her heart jumps like a wild kangaroo upon saying his name.
His smile was shy and cute, "Hi."
"You look kinda dry," she commented.
His skin reddened like a delicious tomato, "Uh..really?"
Jade laughed. He's so odd and cute and shy. She likes him.
But he's kinda dry. That's why she positioned the water hose towards him letting rains of water touch his tomato skin.
"Hey, hey!" he tries to block the water using his arms but it continues to ruin his preppy polo.
Jade laughed endlessly, "You look un-dry!"
She let the hose hit the ground and wet the grasses in it. Mark looked at her with a dim expression.
Uh-oh. "I'm sorry," she muttered hating the fact that he might hate him.
At first she thought he will go away now but he didn't. Instead, he got the hose on his hand then poured Jade with the cold water.
Jade never felt happy before. She smiled and laughed with Mark as they play the water not minding that a loud bullet has entered the house.

Ash tried to ignore how his whole body sweats as he waits outside the Chem lab. But he simply can't he has replayed the way his hand landed innocently on her shoulder this morning. The feeling was divine.
The bell rang and in a few moments Mary-Lynette got out of the room looking like a princess with a huge How To Name Chemical Compounds textbook. He calmed his self with a huge breath.
"May I help you?" he asked as smoothly as possible. He noticed how her hair got stuck on her nape because of sweat. His tongue urged to lick it.
"No thanks," she said then hugged her books protectively. In that instance, Ash wanted o be a boring Science book just to be held by her.
So much for fantasies.
"What are we going to do now?" she asked as they found a hidden table at the caff. It bothers him that she didn't want to be seen with him.
He shrugged, "find out who has the motive to kill my aunt."
She looked at him for a moment.
"What?" he asked hating that she's patronizing him.
She shook her head, "Nothing. Okay..I got a suspect."
"Who?"
She leaned towards him and Ash can now smell her fragrant chamomile hair. He secretly inhaled it. "You know I heard some news that Gary Lennox-you know the football player- got into rehab. Rumors said that he has a relationship with his cousin Gillian and I know he used to visit Mrs. B before for some reasons. Maybe…"
Ash smiled. Gary is one of his Nightworld subordinates and he got into rehab because of so much pot. And the reason why he visits his aunt is because he ordered him to do it. Ash still wants to keep her Aunt safe and sound. But he failed. About the cousin incident he didn't know about that…
"Next."
Mary-Lynette frowned, "Next what?"
"Your suspect is impossible," he waved his hand to indicate dismissal. "Next."
"Excuse me but at least I have a suspect," she smiled viciously. "You give the next one."
He was thinking wanting to be smart for her taste. Aunt Opal got stabbed by a knife. Reports from Gary said that his aunt has a helper that fixes her little barn every week. His name was Jeremy…And he must use knives every time.
"What?" her expression freeze as she heard the name. "Jeremy who?"
He shrugged. Why does she look like she wants to puke? "I don't know his last name. But I all I knew is that he works on the gas station.."
"That's ridiculous," she's now laughing. "Jeremy? He will never do that."
His sight dimmed, "Do you know him?"
She nodded, "Were childhood friends."
Jeremy is now the #1 suspect.
Then his phone rang giving him a bad news.
