"MS. WILD AND MR. WHITE," our history teacher shrieked in a high pitch.

Both mine and Andrew's head whipped in her direction.

Seeing our attention on her she calmed down just a bit.

"Would you like to share the topic with the class that you thought was important enough to ignore me?" she said her ears red.

We both looked at each other than at her.

"No," we said in a unison.

"How can you both argue while I was teaching?"

"How can you teach while we were arguing," we said simultaneously.

Half the class snickered covering their mouths.

What? As cliche as that sounds, it was just irresistible.

Now her nose turned red as well.

"Out BOTH OF YOU, NOW." Soon her voice will only be audible to bats.

And both of us got up and ran out before she could give us detentions.

When we were far enough from the classes and out of anyone's earshot.

We turned back to each other.

"How did you find out?"

"How can you know about Nate?"

Both of us asked at the same time.

"You first!" we both shouted at each other together.

"Fine! I saw him in a dingy alley threating some innocent person to give him his wallet, so I confronted him." I spewed a lie.

Thinking of the time when he had actually threatened a child to give him the skateboard.

I had to run after him all the way down to the beach just so I could get the board back to the poor kid.

"'So I confronted him.' that is the worst lie I have ever heard. What do you know about him Rose,"  he asked mocking my tone.

"I don't speak like that," I complained.

"Don't change the topic."

"Don't tell me what to do," I said folding my arms on my chest my books still in my hand.

"Ugggh you are impossible," he said.

I smirked.

"Fine! Rose, I suggest you stay away from Nate."

"I can't," I said before I could stop my self.

I slapped a hand on my mouth.

"What's that supposed to mean? If you know how dangerous he is then why won't you stay away from him?" he questioned folding his arms as well.

"Huh that idiot is no danger to me," I scoffed.

"Rose maybe you don't know, after all, he is the son of The American don," he said his volume an octave with each word.

I looked at him and laughed. He looked at me as if I had lost it.

"Tell me something I don't know."

"Really you wanna quote Selena right now." we both laughed at that.

No one could have told that we were discussing such a dangerous topic. Andrew was just an easy person to get along with and he was awesome.

***

"Rose, how do you know Nate? I know for sure that you knew him before he even joined here. How?" he asked looking at the door over his shoulder making sure no one was present to overhear us in the empty parking lot we were sitting on the hood of my car, teachers didn't enter students parking usually so it was always a good place if you were bunking.

I didn't see any harm in telling him now.
People thinking that I am Nate's friend was safer for me than people knowing I am his sister but I just didn't wanna lie to Andrew he just cared about my well-being.

"I am his sister," I said slowly and clearly.

His jaw dropped.

"You are Damien Wild's daughter!" he shrieked.

"Um yeah," I said twirling my thumbs

"But you are a Wilder and oh..." he didn't complete his sentence.

I was surprised that my friends hadn't put two and two together.

I laughed out loud at his expressions, he must have thought I was some maniac cause he jumped off the hood and looked at me in disbelief.

"Oh man, this explains a lot of things."

"like..." I urged him to go on.

"Rose listen to me, don't repeat this to anyone ever again..."

He was about to continue but I cut him off. "I know I have to keep my identity a secret."

"No Rose not that listen first," he said looking seriously into my eyes. I had never seen him so serious.

He always joked and was always smiling but right now he looked like about the most serious person I had ever seen.

"Ohh this is bad," he muttered and clutched his golden hair with both his hands.

What is he talking about?

"Rose, Ash is Leonard Wright's son."

"Um, what's that got to do with me?"

"Ash's father is the only brother of Lucas Hogan," he said slowly, and I gasped.

My eyes widened and my mouth fell open.

"But I-I didn't know." I gasped

"He is the nephew of my father's worst rival," I gasped again. I suddenly jumped off the hood as well and took three steps away from Andrew in shock.

"You are right this is bad," I concluded and ran away.

When I was inside and near my locker did I stop.

Lucas Hogan is the most corrupt and wanted man in the USA. Everyone is after him and he is one person my dad hates more than anyone.

'His brother is Leonard Wright' the words ran through my head and I wanted to slam my head in the wall.

It was so obvious and I didn't notice.
Leonard Wright does all the white work for his brother.

And obviously Nate recognized Ash in a second. As far as I know, Lucas Hogan doesn't have a son of his own and Ash is probably going to get handed the position of next leader.

This is bad and just as I made sense of all this I saw Ash heading in my direction and my heart skipped a beat.

He came just up to me and looked down in my eyes.

"Oh man! Ash, I have to go," with that I rocketed again and left him confused and standing near my locker and ran for the parking lot again.

I was relieved to see that Andrew was not in the area anymore, I wasted no time and got in my car and drove straight to the villa.

I saw that both my mom's car and Nate's was in the garage.

I went directly to my room and flopped myself on my bed.
It was softer than my liking. And that's when a tear escaped my eye.

I wiped it from my sleeve. I didn't even know why I was crying over Ash, he was not even that close of a friend but I knew that I couldn't be with him anymore not even near him.

What would he do if he found out who I was?

Would Andrew tell Ash? Will Ash hate me after that?

Who am I kidding, obviously he would hate me.

I heard a knock on my door.

"I am not in here." I shouted at the door.

"Rose why did you skip school again, I just got a message saying you have been missing your classes." my mom said back.

Fuck.
