THE CLUBHOUSE

The next day, Me and the Beckett Crew, and the other academy students, are hanging out with each other.

I'm sitting at a table, drawing in my sketchbook. Sebastian and I exchange looks at each other and he goes about his business.

Catty (VO) Sebastian and I haven't spoken to each other since we broke up. And whatever Jade said to make him, it got to him.

I look at my drawing and finishes it. It's a butterfly and a flower.

"Hey, Catty." Jade greeted me.

I look up at her and greets her with a fake small smile. "Hey, Jade."

"What's the matter, Catty? Feeling small without your boyfriend?" Jade asked with a fake pout and chuckles with a sly grin. "Sebastian can do so much better."

I squint my eyes and she walks away. I gets up and walks after her. I grab her by her hair and pins backwards on the table face up, causing everyone's attention.

"You listen to me, you crazy ass bitch. I don't give a damn who you are. I'm not the girl to mess with." I tell her with a glare of anger.

Jade tries to move on, but I put my hand around her throat.

"And if you ever think of messing with me ever again, I will kill you, Jade. And if you don't believe me, ask around, my classmates will tell you what I'm capable of." I tell her, still with a glare of anger.

I take my hand away from Jade's throat. She sits up, soothing her throat and walks away.

I look at Sebastian and he looks at me with a worried look on his face.

Minutes later, I'm at the vending machine, trying to figure out what snack to get.

Sebastian slowly walks up next to Me. "I can't believe you threatened Jade."

"Unlike you, I didn't let her get to me." I said with an attitude, getting myself a bag of yogurt raisins from the vending machine pick-up slot.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean, CP?" Sebastian asked.

I give him a look. "It means you were idiotic to let Jade get to you, not knowing she was toying with you."

Sebastian looks at me and I walks away from him and he gets in front of me.

"Look, I know you're not in a mood right now, but I still love you." Sebastian said. "I love you, Catty."

"Love didn't stop you from breaking up with me, did it?" I asked him with a straight face.

Sebastian just looks at me and I look at him.

"Just leave me alone, Sebastian." I tell him and walks away from him.

Sebastian becomes worried about a sudden change in my behavior.

ROCHELLE'S DINER

Later that day, I'm sitting in a booth table with my paper food tray of a deluxe cheeseburger and curly fries.

The diner opens and closes. A young man enters the diner and walks up to the diner counter and orders himself something to eat and drink.

"Hello." The young man greeted me as he slowly walks up to me.

I look at him, a bit confused. "Hi?"

"I'm Drake. Drake Pierson." Drake introduced himself to me and gently sits down in the booth table across from me. "And you must be Catty Beckett."

I look at him, a bit confused. "I'm sorry, how do you know me?"

"I used to be best friends with Grayson at the juvenile detention center. I saw a Polaroid of you and him." said Drake.

"Um, okay." I said.

"You're so much sexier than the Polaroid." Drake said, flirting with me.

"Drake?" Grayson said.

Drake turns sideways in the booth table and looks at Grayson.

"Hey, Grayson. Long time, no see." Drake greeted him.

Grayson slowly walks up to Drake. "Leave Catty alone. If you bother her again, I will whoop your ass again."

"Is that so?" Drake said, getting up to his feet.

Grayson and Drake stares at each other, tensely.

"Don't." I said, getting in between them. "Not in the diner. If you guys throw punches, take it to the boxing ring."

Grayson and Drake continues to tensely stare at each other.

"See you around, Grayson." Drake said and walks away, getting his Rochelle's paper takeout bag and walks out of the diner.

Grayson and I exchange looks at each other.

"Okay, who the hell was that?" I asked Grayson.

"Drake Pierson. He's the one that caused me so much mischievous trouble at the juvenile detention center." Grayson tells me with an annoyed expression on his face.

"He said that he saw a Polaroid of me that you have." I mentioned to him.

"Yeah, I have a Polaroid of you. I kept it while I was at the juvenile detention center." Grayson said.

Seeing how annoyed Grayson had become, I glance at my half-eaten and French fries.

"Would you like to share my food with me?" I asked.

Grayson looks at my paper food tray of food and small smiles at me. "Yeah, sure."

Grayson and I sits down in the booth table across from each other and we shares my food, eating it.

BAXTER HOUSE

That evening, Grayson and I are in his room, catching up on some workbook assignments.

"I told Roxy that we kissed." Grayson told me.

"Damn. Was she ticked off?" I asked.

"I expected her to be, but instead, she broke up with me." Grayson said. "It's so obvious between us, CP."

"I know, Gray." I said.

"So, why are we continuing to fight this?" Grayson asked, getting up to his feet. "We both know that we have lingering feelings for each other, and yet, we keep fighting it."

"Grayson? We had this conversation already." I tell him.

Grayson scoffs and gently puts his hands on his hips. "You know, this is such BS. Here we are, with the magnetic chemistry between the two of us. You dated Sebastian and I dated Roxy. But they already know. Hell, we already kissed, Catty."

"Grayson? If we ever start dating again, how do you think it would look like to Sebastian and Roxy?" I asked.

"Catty? You're a sincere person, I get that, I really do, but sooner or later, our magnetic chemistry is gonna re-ignite whether we try to fight it or not." Grayson said, removing his hands from his hips. "Because honestly, I can't stop thinking about you."

"Maybe, Roxy was right to break up with you because she feels like you're leading her on when your heart belongs to someone else." I said to him.

Grayson and I exchange looks at each other.

Suddenly, the lights go off. Grayson turns on his phone flashlight and I turn on my phone flashlight.

"Turn off your phone flashlight." I whispered to Grayson.

"Why?" Grayson whispered back to me.

"We don't want to spook off the intruder." I whispered back to him.

Grayson and I both turns off our phone flashlights

Grayson and I walks out of his room, into the hallway and gently walks down the stairs.

Grayson and I hears some noises coming from the kitchen. He and I slowly walks inside the living room.

The Red Mask serial killer looks Grayson and Me with a shotgun.

The Red Mask serial killer aims his shotgun just as Grayson grabs me and we both falls onto the carpet floor.

The Red Mask serial killer shotgun goes off, hitting the wall.

The Red Mask serial killer takes off running, jumping out of the kitchen window and takes off running out into the road.

Grayson and I exchange worried looks at each other.

"What the hell just happened?" Grayson asked.
