Alex and Spinner stood with Jay at his orange civic, looking around to make sure nobody who passed was listening, they were at school, and talking about what was happening.

"You can't honestly believe someone went out of there way to do that to me.." Alex said and shrugged, "Mere coincidence."

"And then Emma too?" Jay challanged Alex.

Spinner shifted uncomfortably, "Somebody knows." he told them, "and we're getting punished for what we did to Rick."

"It's too late to come clean now." hissed Alex, "Even if we wanted to! We won't just get in trouble, we could all be expelled."

Jay narrowed his eyes at Spinner, "We've been through this before." he shook his head, "Did you break Spin? Did you tell someone?" he went nose to nose with Spinner.

"No!" yelled Spinner, "Why would I?! That would make Jimmy a-and my friends hate me forever, and I'd lose everything, I'd lose Manny."

Alex rolled her eyes, "How romantic."

"What about you?" Jay snapped at Alex, "Did you tell anyone? You've been cuddly to Michealchuck and the jocks lately."

"If anyone's the big mouth here it's you." she snapped at her ex-

Beep, Beep.

Riiing.

They shut up, and paused. They knew it was 'Anonymous'. All their phones rent off at once.

Spinner went to get it.

"Leave it." Alex demanded.

"And not know what plane will fallout of the sky to land on us next?" Spinner snapped back, "No fucking way!" he opened his phone.

Jay waited for Spinner to read it and say it out loud as his eyes scanned the students, he then laid his eyes on a certain blonde who was just walking up the school steps to meet Manny Santos and stop half way. He watched her talk and listen, like the good caring person she was, and then, it was like she felt him watching her and they connected eyes.

Spinner finally read out loud, "Hello Trio. For short form, call me A. I will be your new best friend for now on, the one with all the secrets you want hidden. I apologise for the extreme behaviour the other day, but I had to make you see... I am not a joke."

Alex had enough of this, snapping her phone open to read and finished the text, "You'll hear from me soon.." she whispered, reading the rest, her eyes held so much..fear? Worry?

Jay was still watching Emma until Emma flipped her hair a bit and looked away, as if they were never looking at another, and got back to Manny.

Jay turned back to them, "So what do we do?" he asked them, "Maybe this person wants us to do something."

"In that case we have to wait, stay low." Alex confirmed, "Stay in."

Spinner shook his head, "I can't tonight, the dance, Manny's counting on me to take her." he explained.

"A Dance?" mocked Alex, making fun of him, "Another place full of stage lights to come crashing down on you?"

"Fine, maybe I can skip it." Spinner said, understanding how unsafe it might be until he noticed some guy talking to Manny, "Who the hell is that?"

"Jealousys a bad color Spinster." smirked Jay.

Over by Emma, Emma excused herself, eyeing between Manny and this new kid Chester who was also her new next door neighbor.

"See you guys in class." she said.

Manny nodded and waved then turned and smiled to Chester, "So..you'll help me with this dance this?"

"Ofcourse." He smiled back charmfully, "We can meet at the lockers at lunch?"

She looked down, blushing and back up nodding, he was so adorable.

Spinner Spinner Spinner.

"See you there." Manny agreed, before walking off.

After first period, Emma gathered her books up, and Jt waved goodbye to her as she took off to her next class, as she exited she bumped hard into another body.

"So-" Emma didn't apologise when she saw Jay.

She knew she owed it to him, she just has never said that word to him, nor expected to ever.

Jay just cooly smirked down at her, and slowly went to walk around her to leave.

Emma scoffed, Damn herself for being such a nice person!

"Jay!" she called and he turned, raising an eyebrow and walked back infront of her. "Thankyou." she breathed, looking away like it was rough.

"What?" he asked.

"Thankyou." she said louder, sighing.

He put his hand to his ear, "Sorry, again?" he pretended it wasn't loud enough and Emma finally smiled and laughed a little.

"Thankyou!" she exclaimed, and drifted, "..for the other day. I'd be smushed if not for you."

Jay's smirk slowly faded, but he nodded. For some reason he didn't feel he earned the thank you anymore. He should actually be saying sorry to her, but Jay Hogart didn't say sorry's, espashally to younger girls who always had some rival with him.

Emma eyed him, noticing something off, "You okay?"

Beep, beep

Jay pierced his lips tightly together, knowing who just texted him, but hoping it wasn't 'A'. He zoned out for a second.

Emma waved her hand in front of his face, "Jay? You gonna get that?"

He blinked and then shook his head, be normal. Don't be suspicious. "Mind your business Greenpeace." his mood went from playful to completely cold, and walked off.

Emma stood there, confused, and looked to where he left and shook her head. He'd never change. She walked off.

That night, Jay was alone in his apartment when Spinner came bursting in.

Jay sighed, laying on his couch and looked over, "What?" he looked back up at the ceiling.

Spinner explained, madly, while pacing back and forth, "Manny went to the dance with him, I-I thought we were something, but at lunch she totally blew me off. What kind of name is Chester? How could she blow me off like that?!"

Jay rolled his eyes, "Cause it's Slutty Santos'."

"What does he have I don't?" Spinner snapped, throwing his arms up.

"Not a stalker." Jay reminded, sitting up and Spinner stopped pacing and cornered his eyes.

"Did you get another text from that piece of-"

"It was nothing." Jay said standing up, "Nothing I couldn't deal with." he confirmed and Spinner eyed him to then nod. What couldn't Jay Hogart deal with?

Silence.

"You know what?" Spinner went back out the door "I'm going to go fight for her." he slammed the door behind him.

"Waste of time." muttered Jay, flipping his phone out and leaning on his kitchen counter. He went back to the text he recieved earlier after bumping into Emma..

'You can't keep her out of danger, you are the danger.' -A

Jay snapped his phone shut, and clenched his jaw.

"Manny!" Spinner had chased MAnny from the dance to out on the streets. She stood with her cute little red hat and jean jacket, black skirt. But as pretty as she looked, she was crying.

She went to the dance with another cry because she was afraid Spinner would break her heart, in the end, she realised its her not commited to the realtionship.

"Craig really HURT me Spinner." she said, turning to him.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Manny shook with tears, "Spinner, please, don't hurt me. Never hurt me." she begged and cupped his face when he stepped closer to her, putting his hands on her hips.

"Manny, I'd never." he whispered, and she smiled, nodding and kissed him deeply.

What a night, Manny thought, to almost losing someone she was falling hard for, to finding Paige with Mr O.. and now kissing her commited boyfriend.

Things couldn't be more perfect.

He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

Bark at the moon
