Turns out dad did buy my lie. He thinks I'm in a normal high school where both girls and boys are mixed. And when I told him that I had been chosen for tutoring he gave me a deadly, bone-crushing hug, patting my head awkwardly and telling me that he was proud of me. What am I? Five? It was awkward. So, so, so awkward. 

All this time, I was just thinking about the stack of money that is now hidden in one of drawers in my cupboard. What will happen when  he finds about them? I'm going to be so dead. Should I lie to him. No, he's going to find out anyways. . .

But as usual thinking about something too much always tends to make me sleepy. So, a few minutes later, my eyes shut close and I fell into a deep sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"LA LA LA! LA LA LA LA LA LA!!!" Dylan sang at the top of his lungs. With my eyes still shut, I threw the nearest pillow I could find in the direction I heard him singing. I relaxed into my bed even more when I realized that he had stopped singing. But, as if confirming my thoughts wrong, Dylan sang even louder this time. I absolu-freaking-lutely hate him! This is the worst possible way of human torture!

He sang to this point that I felt as if my eardrums were going to burst. Suddenly, I shot up out of bed and Dylan shrieked.

He widened his eyes and ran away from me; nothing can stop me from chasing Dylan when I was mad, even tiredness and considering the house was so small, I caught him with ease and held him tight with me as I bent down since I was taller than him.

I grinned evilly at him as a wicked thought came into my mind.

"Dylan, you want to get out?" I asked sweetly and he nodded cautiously. "You're going to have to say this: my dear sister also known as the queen of the world, please pardon me as I beg for mercy!" I ordered dramatically.

His jaw dropped down. "NO!" he answered a bit too quickly.

"Are you sure about that?" I asked as I held him tight with one hand and wiggled the fingers on my other hand.

"N-no! Roxy! NO TICKLING!!" he pleaded.

"Then say it," I said shrugging the wicked smile still on my face.

"NO!"

"You asked for it," I said lowly before tickling him really hard. He burst out laughing as I tickled him in his soft spots.

"S-st-stop! R-Rox-ROXY!!!!" he begged.

And just like always, my dad entered the living room with his cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

"You guys are still here! GET INTO THE BATHROOM AND CHANGE, BOTH OF YOU ARE LATE!!!" he screamed at us, looking at his watch and shaking his head in disappointment.

Indeed, we were late. In fact we were VERY late...

I rushed into the bathroom and put some paste onto my brush and slid it back and forth sideways on my teeth and with the brush in my mouth; I headed into my room to take out my outfit for the day.

Somehow, since my favorite color is black, 75% of my closet is filled with black clothes. 

So, deciding to go with the color black I picked out my black hoodie (don't judge but I've got a hoodie of almost every single color, there are more hoodies in my closet than there are shirts and jeans) and paired it up with a plain white shirt( I hate designs) and put on some loose black jeans(my personal favorite are skinny jeans but I can't go with them to school because everyone will judge me and think how I look so 'feminine': I quote precisely)

I dumped my wig into my school bag and rushed the bathroom to spit the paste out. After rinsing my mouth, I took a quick shower and changed into my clothes.

"DYLAN!"I called out.

"YA?" he answered yelling.

"I'm leaving in five, you're coming with me right?"I asked now talking in a bit less louder volume.

"I'll be done getting ready in five minutes and yes, I AM COMING WITH YOU!"

"Okay," I nodded my head..

I went into the kitchen and just drank a glass of water since I was in no mood to eat breakfast and soon after, Dylan popped out of nowhere. He had like extra gel on his hair and at the end he curled them up.

"Trying to impress someone?" I joked.

He glared at me and blushed.

I pinched his cheeks in a cute manner and he slapped my hand away.

"Aww.. look who's getting angry?" I teased.

"Just drive Roxy," he said angrily.

I just smirked and and drove off to his school. With an angry Dylan, the car ride seemed very quiet and boring. Just saying, but if you want to get Dylan mad, do it when he's already at school.

"Meet you at 2 o' clock!" I said after he left.

"LOVE YOU!" I could hear faintly and I just chuckled at how amazing my brother was. I got under a bush and placed my wig on as I had done previously and went into my car's mirror for the double-check.

After being sure that not even one thing was wrong I drove off to my own school and cursed my life as I walked into the school gates.

I was already in literature class when the bell rang and a few minutes later, I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. My eyelids were threatening to close because of the boring material we had already repeated thrice.

But, I kept it in and when the bell rang, I felt really proud of myself for not sleeping in class. It was definitely one of my major school accomplishments.

The rest of the school time passed in the same way.As usual, in lunch I grabbed my lunch from the cafeteria and walked around the school on the grassy area and around somewhere in the shade. When the bell rang, I just threw my trash into the closest bin and continued my walk to my next class.

Just the usual.. I made sure not to sleep in class, come late to class, or skip any one of them. I really didn't want any bad reports or punishments, now did I?

After hours of torture, the bell finally rang signifying that school ended. All the boys went wild and crazy, some jumping over the other to get out first.

'It's not the end of school or something!! Relax!' I wanted to shout at them.

I just stood waiting there until the crowd lessened a bit and then walked over to my locker where I found a note:

Can't come to mentoring today. I've got football lessons today. Sorry, not really.(Hate math anyways)

-Jace

I just rolled my eyes at the note. But from inside I felt a bit disappointed, I did feel that Jace was different than Austin or his stupid gang, but guess not... I mean they are best friends for a reason.

I realized that I also had to go pick Dylan up, so I hurried along. I ducked my head to get into my car and when the school was officially out of my sight, I took off my wig and let my scarlet hair loosen up and fall into waves. I had turned into a normal girl once I reached his school.

I opened the door and finally spotted him leaning against the wall with one foot up behind him against the wall and he was in a conversation with one of his friends.

"DYLAN!" I called out to him.

He looked around and when he found me, he shot me a large grin. He waved his friend goodbye and hopped into the car.

"How was school?" I asked.

"Exhausting," he replied and then there was dead silence. I had no clue why it became so silent so I turned back to see that he was sleeping horizontally on the seat.

I smiled at him. My brother was really my everything. But seeing him like this reminded me of something.

I quickly took a pen and paper out from my school bag and wrote him a letter.

Sorry for leaving you like this AGAIN.. but I've got some work to do. If you are now awake, then just play on your phone, I'll be back in a few. And if you manage to do so, I might as well buy you ice cream as a treat.

Oh, and I'm locking the doors.. thanks for being so understanding.

-Roxy

Feeling satisfied with it, I tucked the note under his arms and head out, locking the doors on the way.

I head into the alley and turned into the same directions in hope to find him again.

After a few rights and lefts, I arrived in the same place where the man shot another guy.

And sure enough, he was there as well; with a new set of guys.

Well, isn't this going to be interesting..

The familiar one started talking to the other guy in the same way he talked two days ago, using small gestures and a few other hand movements. He was just in the middle of saying something when something I definitely regretted happened.

My phone rang.. SHIT

I quickly lowered the volume but the ringtone had seemed to grab everyone's attention already. I packed all my hair behind my hoodie and brought the hoodie up onto my head so that my face would be hidden.

I might be really confident about my fighting techniques but these guys had guns and who knows what all weaponry.

I could sense them coming near and got into my fighting position.

And then in slow motion, all of them came into my sight. Except the familiar guy..

One of them came up with a knife to me but I punched his face hard and kneed his in the stomach which led him to get a lose grip on the knife. I used that as a advantage and took his knife and using all my strength threw it away very, very far.

All of their eyes widened at this.. must be their only weapon then.

This time two people came attacking me at the same time, he swung his fist towards me but I dodged it. I punched him hard on the face and slammed his head with the one beside him causing the both of them to faint.

'3 gone 3 to go' I thought to myself.

Another one came towards me with a mighty roar. I raised my eyebrow at him and kicked him with the sole of my shoe right on his head. I could tell that he felt dizzy but tried to ignore it because off fighting with me. I punched him twice on his face this time and that was it when he fell to the ground.

As if in cue, the last two came towards me..

I used my elbow and stroke it really hard on his cheek. The other one came at me giving the one I hit with my elbow some time to regain his composure. This time I applied the palm heel technique. My palm's heel came exceptionally powerfully and I hit it at the back of the head where it is really sensitive. He fell to the ground and the last one just stared at him open-mouthed and then looked back at me.

I curled my hands in fists and gave him a hard blow to the head.

I watched in satisfaction as the last one fell and ran away as fast as I could before any one of them woke up. I quickly got into my car to find a sleeping Dylan and drove off as fast as I could.

'WHY THE BLOODY HELL DID I COME HERE AGAIN?'
