October 24, 2006Well, Nothing really interesting happening today, it will just be another school day. I'm so tired. I'm secretly going to my friends parties… and I have been asking him a lot about the source he gets all his… stuff from. I'm so scared. What if I get caught? Whatever… at least I get to hang out with Inez… and Jackie too. Better go!

"Oh I am so glad schools finally out for the day!" Jackie loudly sighed and laid back in the grass. The three of them were happily relaxing in Inez's front lawn after a very long day of school.
"I know! Especially cause someone pulled the fire alarm." Inez groaned.
"I thought that was the interesting part!" Matt laughed.
"So how long can you guys hang out for?" Inez smacked both matt and Jackie who were on either sides of her in their stomach.
"Ow!" Jackie squeaked. "Well, I better go call my mom." She jumped up and ran into the house.
"I can stay for a while." Matt coolly put his hands behind his head.
"Matt." Inez rolled over onto her side and smiled at him. "I'm so glad we all get to hang out again! Even though school is so hard, and so silly, I am still as happy as can be!"
Matt smiled back and winked but he couldn't spit out the words that he was happy to. He was, but he just couldn't help feeling horrible about holding this secret from her.
"I'm happy too." Was all he could say. But it satisfied Inez. She smiled sweetly and rolled over onto her back. Inez was the one thing that woke him up in the morning. She was so sweet, understanding…beautiful! Why don't I just ask her out? Matt shook his head to himself. I know she likes me… It is so obvious. He rolled over onto his side and faced her.
"Nezzie?"
"Don't call me that." she giggled and gave a weak push.
"Inez?" he calmly pushed a piece of hair behind her ear. She froze and her whole face turned red.
"Y…yeah?" she was blushing furiously.
"YOU HAVE A SPIDER ON YOU!" he yelled and whacked her head. She screamed, of course, and jumped up to run around.
"Matt," she pointed her finger at him. "You freaked me out for a second there!"
"I think you liked it!" he teased.
"Get out of here!" she kicked him.
"Ow!!" he rolled over then stood up. "Sheesh, I was just playing!"
"Don't!" she tried not to laugh.
"What's going on out here, love birds?" Jackie walked out and shook her head. "You two need to stop fighting!"
"We can't help it." He shrugged. "I just can't stand math, and she'll never let me live with it."
"Matt, you should at least let me help you!" she set her fists on her hips.
"I'm fine at it!" he shrugged. "I just don't like it!"
"What EVER!" Jackie laughed. "You guys are retards!"
The three of them left soon after that to go to the park. Jackie brought her camera, so the three of them spent the day taking ridiculous pictures. Matt completely enjoyed himself in the delight of spending time with the two things in his life, which kept him sane. Just as they all were about to part their ways and get home, the most unfortunate thing happened.
"Hey Matt." Jeremy suddenly appeared before them as they were making their way out of the park.
"Get out of here Jeremy, you know Matt doesn't want to hang out with you anymore!" Inez stepped protectively in front of her friend.
"Oh really?" Jeremy looked suspiciously at Matt whose face was beet-red. "Cause Matt and I hung out only yesterday!" he stepped closer and leaned into Inez's face. "I think there's something he's not telling you!"
"Hey, leave her alone!" Matt finally spoke up and shoved Jeremy away.
"Well, well! No need to get pushy! I think you owe them the truth anyway, Matt." Jeremy raised his chin.
"Just leave, Okay?" Matt gave him a warning glance.
"You can't live two lives Matt." Jeremy chuckled as he took Matt's advice to leave. "You can't be the good boy and the bad boy."
After Jeremy was out of earshot, Matt's two girl friends turned to stare at him.
"What was that about, may I ask?" Jackie crossed her arms.
"What was he talking about?" Inez asked more innocently. "And be honest."
"I…" Matt searched for words as he shifted glancing between them.
"Matt… have you been hanging out with Jeremy?" they both stepped closer. He tried to think up something to say, but there was no way of putting it that would make him sound innocent.
"Yes." He finally said bluntly. "Yes, I have." He paused a moment. "I'm hoping to make a good influence on him."
"Hoping to make a good influence?" Jackie interrupted. "We all know that he was the bad influence on you!"
"Stop it!" Matt raised his voice. "I'm not some easily-swayed freak! I can make up my own mind!"
"Why didn't you tell us?" Inez spoke quietly.
"I…" he stared at her in the eyes knowing he had lost her trust… her precious trust. "I…"
"I can't believe this." She turned away and tears began to fill her eyes. "You're back into drugs, aren't you?" she turned back around.
"No!" he fought tears. "Of course not!"
"You have!" Jackie burst into tears.
"No I haven't! Why wont you just believe me?" he stomped on the ground in anger. Why did he ever agree to work under cover? It was ruining his life!
Matt, having nothing else to say, turned away to walk off, but before he could take another step, a short large man dressed in a suit jumped out of no where and tackled him to the ground.
"Got 'im!" he shouted out. "Hurry come help me!" the man wrestled Matt until he got him in hand cuffs while the girls screamed in terror. (or course). In the meanwhile, a teller, thin man walked up with a gun and pointed it at the girls.
"Don't move." He looked at them both carefully. They shuttered and stepped back.
"Are you the police?" Jackie asked timidly.
"Police?" the thin one chuckled. "Sure! Yeah! We're the police."
"Would you help me over here?" the larger man yelled as Matt was kicking him in the gut.
"Hey, did he say to get the girls?" the man pointing the gun at the girls turned around and asked.
"No, I don't think so… Come on, help me get him into the portal!"
The thin man then darted over to help his friend, and in seconds the two of them, with Matt, vanished into nowhere. At this time, both of the girls were speechless.
"What just happened?" Jackie grabbed Inez's arm. "Could that have been…"
"Yes… I think it could."
…
"We got 'im, boss!" Matt was dragged into a large bridge of a spaceship.
"This feels so familiar." Matt groaned. "Sheesh, you sure pack a punch." He turned to look at the short man.
"Thanks!" he grinned.
Just then, the captain's chair turned around and the man seated inside was now in view of Matt. It was unmistakable who it was. Even though his android model had been upgraded and he nearly looked human, he still was the same old…
"Hacker? Oh please…" he laughed and shook his head. "I can't think of one reason why you might have brought me here… except…"
"REVENGE!" Hacker closed his eyes tightly and wrung his fists in the air as the word "revenge" echoed from his lips and all around the room.
"Oh wow… are you serious?" Matt rolled his eyes.
"Of course not!" Hacker stood from where he was seated and walked right up to the young man. "I don't have time for that sort of thing." He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. "I have a much bigger use for you."
