Disclaimer: I do own this whole story, plot, and characters. NOT the songs that I use those belong to the artists that make them.

On Tuesday after I got ready for school and was coming down the stairs I was greeted with the wonderful sight of my mother sitting at the table reading the newspaper. I rolled my eyes, as I continued to descend the stairs.

"Good morning, darling." She greeted me without looking up from an article she seemed to be very interested in.

"Why are you home?" I asked getting straight to the point.

"It's nice to see you too." She ignored my question and continued reading the paper. "How are you?"

I didn't answer, just looked at her waiting for my question to be answered. Knowing I wouldn't quit she finally looked up and sighed.

"There have been some attacks, recently."

"Isn't that what Ian and Chris are here for? To make sure nothing is going on here?"

"These aren't in their….well these are different." She seemed to be struggling with a way to explain what these so called "attacks" were.

"What do you mean different? As in how?" I asked getting irritated.

"Never mind, it's nothing you need to be worried about anyway." She told me with a fake smile.

"Thanks way to make me feel safe, mother." I sneered at her, and then walked out of the kitchen and out the front door. I know that you're probably thinking "What a spoiled little brat, why are you acting like that to your own mother?", but to be honest we have never been close I don't even think she or I know what each other's favorite colors are. We just don't know each other and I don't think we ever will.

Kyle came running up to me when I got into the school parking lot, with a huge lopsided grin on his face which I knew immediately meant some kind of trouble for me.

"What mischief have you found now?" I asked with a smile as I grabbed my books and bag out of my car.

"Oh come on now Mace you think I would ever bring you into mischief?" He asked innocently. I gave him a look that said I-so-know-you-better-than-that-so-what-are-you-up-to. "Okay you caught me, there is this major rave that is supposed to happen at this junior's house cause his parents are away for the weekend. Everyone is talking about it and we haven't been to any parties all summer. Please, please, please, please, please, please?"

He was in front of me with his hands clasped together and his bottom lip in a pout. I laughed at how adorable he looked. "Ok, ok we can go." His face immediately lit up. He grabbed me around the waist and spun me around. I squealed because he was also tickling me too.

Next thing I knew Nathan was right beside me looking for any immediate threat. What has him on edge? I thought to myself.

How was it and I am sorry it is a short chapter but please review!
