Sam opened her locker, shoving books into the back as she looked over at Danny, who was accompanied by Tucker and Mona at his own locker. After thinking about it, she finally knew what Mona was doing. She was trying to get rid of anyone who stood in her way of Danny. And her best choice was not to get in Mona's way. No, she wasn't saying she would choose her life over Danny, Danny was her life. She was going to leave Mona alone until she found out how to stop her. There was no way she was going to let Mona win.

Sam shut her locker and was about to head on to class, but she saw Danny wave her over from the corner of her eye. She could choose to ignore him, which means she would ignore Mona too, or go over to him. She sighed as she crossed the hallway and joined Danny, Tucker, and Mona.

"Hey, I was just thinking we should all go do something later," Danny said.

"Like what?" She asked.

"We could go bowling."

"You just want to go 'cause you always win." He smirked.

"That's besides the point." Sam rolled her eyes. "But do you want to go?"

"Uhh," She didn't want to spend a whole night with Mona, even if it was with Danny and Tucker too. "I'm gonna have to pass."

"What? Why?"

"Too much homework, something you're too lazy to do. Just go with Tucker and Mona."

"Uhh, I'm not going," Tucker spoke up. Sam looked at Danny, who shrugged in response.

"Still want to go?" Mona asked. Danny looked from Sam to Mona, and Sam shrugged, signaling that she didn't care, even if she did on the inside. Danny didn't want to spend a night alone with Mona, but canceling it just because Sam and Tucker weren't going to be there was rude.

"Sure, why not," He said.

"Cool." The bell rang and Danny and Mona headed on to class as Sam stayed at Danny's locker with Tucker. He turned to her.

"You do realize that you basically just let Mona go on a date with Danny, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, I don't care. I'm not going to get in Mona's way until I find out how to defeat her."

"What if she makes a move on Danny?"

"Danny wouldn't do anything back to her... And if he does, I'm ripping his spine out of his back and shoving it down his throat." Tucker shuddered as she walked passed him before following her to Lancer's class.

It was the last class of the day, and it couldn't feel any longer. All Lancer did was go on and on about whatever book they were reading, and Danny nearly fell asleep. The only thing keeping him awake was Tucker shooting paper balls at Danny, trying to get him directly in the ear. When the bell rang, everybody sprang to get out the door. Sam and Tucker exited the room but Danny waited for Mona since none of them would. As they were walking out the door, Lancer caught them before they left.

"Mona, can I talk to you for a moment?" He asked.

"We'll wait for you at the front of the school," Danny said before leaving. He made his way down the hall and finally exiting the school, seeing Sam and Tucker waiting outside for him.

"Where'd Mona go?" Tucker asked.

"Lancer's talking to her about something."

"Oh! That reminds me! I forgot my notebook in his class. I'll be right back." Tucker went back into the school and was the only one in the hallways. No one ever stayed after school, unless they were in the library or had to go to practice. Who would want to stay more than they had to? As he got closer to Lancer's room, he didn't see Mona anywhere in the hallway, and when he peeked into Lancer's room, didn't see anyone in there.

He proceeded into the room anyway, and walked to the back of the classroom and picked up his notebook from the bottom of a desk. He started to make his way out, but a sudden groan caught his attention. He looked behind the teacher's desk to see Mr. Lancer lying there, barely conscious. It looked like he was in a bad car accident, his face looked like it was bashed against the desk several times and he was covered in blood.

"Oh my God! Mr. Lancer!" Tucker rushed to his side, he didn't know why though. It's not like he could help him, he had no idea what to do. "Danny!" He called, hoping somehow he could hear him. But nonetheless, Danny rushed in, seeing Mr. Lancer lying there.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know! Just do something," There was nothing he could really do. All he did was call an ambulance, which caused a huge scene. No one was allowed within one hundred feet of the school until everything and everyone got cleared. Danny and Tucker found Mona outside afterwards, and as the police talked to them, Danny went over to Sam who was watching from the parking lot.

"Did you see what happened to Lancer?" He asked.

"I don't want to." She said.

"Who would hurt Lancer?" Sam didn't want to say it, though she knew it was Mona. She didn't want to tell Danny that's what she thought, he wouldn't believe her anyway. Tucker went over to Danny.

"The cops want to talk to you." He said. Danny went over to the school as Tucker crossed his arms and looked at Sam.

"They said Lancer's supposed to be okay. He's just really banged up. And that we'll be able to return to school tomorrow." Sam looked down, scuffling her feet. "You think Mona did this?"

"She had to. She was the last one with Mr. Lancer. ...Where'd you find her anyway?"

"She took the back way but was making her way to the front of the school. We told her what happened and she reacted surprised." Sam scoffed.

"Reacted. She did it. We both know that."
