authors note: Aww, thanks guys for the awesome reviews. So I know a bunch of you have questions about my story, and I guarantee they'll all be answered by the next few chapters.

Toby's POV

The doorknob starts to turn, and I scan the room for places to hide. There's nothing but the cabinet under the sink, it's small space guaranteed to hide you, if you were skinny enough.

My heart raced as the door creaked slightly open, and I threw my black hoodie over my head. Desperate, I opened the cabinet doors and tried to shove my way through. I couldn't get more than my head in.

I tugged my head backwards, attempting to pull it out, but it was stuck. I could hear the voices clearer, and the door was already halfway exposed.

"Oh dear," I assumed the voice of Nurse Rose said. "What do we have here?"

The girl shrieks. "Y-You mean he saw me undressing?"

I whimper as I feel wrinkled, cold hands on my hips. "He seems to be stuck."

"Is it Noel Kahn? Jeremy Osario?" The girl rants nervously.

I can sense the girl's eyes on me. "Um, can we pull him out?"

Now, warm, smooth hands grab me, pulling me backwards. Something must have loosened because I tumbled out, rolling onto my back. The pipes from under the sink burst, spraying me with rusty pipe water.

Nurse Rose and the girl scream, as they are doused. I tru to focus on the girl's face, but my eyes are blurry from the water.

Instead, I ran straight out of the nurse's office, running towards the cafeteria. I burst in, frantically searching for Caleb. He's sitting at our usual table, eating a peanut butter sandwich.

"Caleb. Sorry about this morning, Noel- I mean he-"

I strip off my hoodie.

"Toby. No need to apologize. It's what friends do right?" Caleb interrupted.

"I know, but, I could have stood up to Noel for you."

"You're dealing with...bigger problems nowdays than just a stupid fight. It's fine."

"I don't know, what about you? I mean, you are my best friend. Like my brother." I whisper out in a small voice.

I wait for him to answer, but someone shouts at our table. "Hey guys! Did you try the new pudding cups?"

I look to see our friend, Ezra Fitz, goofily holding up a chocolate pudding cup. He stumbles towards our table, and a strange look crosses his face.

"Oh, um, did I interrupt a moment here?"

Caleb starts to speak. "Uh, ye-" I cut in, "s, you didn't."

Ezra looks at us skeptically, then sits down next to me.

"So," he starts. "I noticed you were missing during 1st period. What happened to you?"

"Run in with Spencer, Hanna, Emily, and Aria. Literally."

"Oh. Wow, that's harsh."

"Speak of the devil," I mutter as the girls sashay into the cafeteria.

The girls walk in, but Spencer isn't there. Aria, Hanna, and Emily scan the room, their eyes landing on me. In their heels, it's hard to believe how fast they managed to walk to our table.

"You," Hanna spat, her glare boring through my skull. "knocked Spencer down. And I still can't believe how sick you and your friends are for what you did a year ago."

Emily and Aria glare, and all three of them spit out the same words. "Stay away Toby Cavanaugh, or we will make you and your friend's lives a living hell."

A living hell...my life was already simliar to that. Without having four angry queen bitches stomping all over it. Now, I was probably doomed, because last time they threatened someone, it didn't end so well.

After they had left, I filled Caleb and Ezra in on what had happened that day, including the mysterious girl in the nurse's office.

"I need to find her, especially after I found this."

Right around the time water had sprayed the mystery girl, she had dropped something out of her pocket, something that might have been important. I had accidently snatched it up with my backpack, and ran out without noticing.

I fished out the item, holding gently in my hands. It was a small wooden box, engraved with flowers and birds. I had tried to open it earlier, but it seemed to be locked, needing a key of some sort.

I handed it to Caleb. "Hey, can you try opening this? I know how good you are with locks, and I think the stuff inside the box might give me a clue or a name to who this belongs to."

"Yeah, of course."

The shrill shriek of the loudspeaker blasted through the air. Students covered their ears, cursing under their breath.

"Attention students. There has been a recent crime commited at our school resulting in damage of school property. The student behind is crime shall be expelled and will brought to the attention of the police. Thank you."

Whispering began as people began to talk about who the culprit was, while I buried my head in my hands. "No, this can't be happening. I mean, I didn't mean to damage property."

"Don't worry. This will all blow over. Just don't confess," Ezra mumbled.

We got up and walked towards Chemistry, halls still a buzz from the annoucement. As usual, I sat in the fourth row, third seat, and began writing down the notes on the board.

Mr. Jenkins continued writing. "Today we will be talking about what's in chlorpheniramine maleate."

I sat there, thinking. What had I gotten myself into?

authors note: Another chapter done! So what do you thinks in the box? Take a guess below, and I'll make sure to get back to you on that in the next chapter. I start school tomorrow, so I'm posting every Sunday.

Remember to follow my story and review! You can suggest some things you might want in the box, and I'll take it into consideration.

Until next time,
