Police are running into the hallway and Dustin and I's 5 seconds of glory are over.

"Who has the gun?" One of the men shouts. Everyone in my group exchanges curious glances. I see officers giving us wary glances and I almost smirk.

"Them." I hear Laceys annoying voice say. I look over and shes pointing at us.

I walk out in front of the group and the officers stare. I raise an eyebrow in response. I look back at my group to confirm none of them have a gun, and then look back at the cops.

"Alright then. Search us." I say thrusting them my bag and holding my arms up.

Everyone else follows my example and the cops are shocked.

"See. We dont have guns." I say. "Sorry we wasted your time." The cops return our belongings. As soon as they're gone, I have my eyes on Lacey.

Dustin tries to get there first, but I stop him.

"Please let me do this one." I say with a mischeivious look. He returns it and nods.

I walk up to Lacey and smile, to which she returns a fake one. I stop smiling and glare, just before I grab her shirt collar and slam her against a locker.

She looks shocked to say the least. I push her hard and she winces.

I lean in to her ear and say "Never. Ever. Even think about getting in our way again." I let her go and leave.

::::::::::::::

The rest of the day went smoothly. I got in a minor fight with Fallon at lunch, but it was stupid. Who takes bites out of string cheese!

Anyways I was at home, sitting on my porch swing brainstorming ideas to ruin dad.

I took out my ukelele and started plucking randomly. Then I decided to play one of my favorite songs. Riptide by Vance Joy.

I was playing and really kind of enjoying myself when Xavier came over and sat on the ground across from me. I ignored it and kept playing because who interrupts Vance Joy?

Once I'm done I put the instrument down and look at him. He is intensely studying me so I turn away.

"I was just brainstorming." I said firmly for absolutely no reason at all.

"That was beautiful." He says, directing his gaze twords my eyes so our eyes meet.

I can feel a burning blush rising in my cheeks but I quickly stop it.

"Its raining." I said, just realizing the hard rain that was outside.

He nodded and hummed in agreement to my observation.

"We should go inside." I said while standing up.

"Probably" he said, doing the same.

He turns away to walk down the stairs.

"You could stay at my house, you know. Just until it stops." I say, which he answers with his boyish smirk. I just chuckle at the smirk, because he thinks hes going to get something out of me.

I walk inside and up the stairs to my room, and he follows me like a little puppy.

I walk into my room and put the ukelele away and I notice that Xaviers shut the door.

I raise a single eyebrow at him and go to walk out of my room, but I'm and pushed against my door.

I've never realized how tall he is, or how short I am for that matter, until now. His 6'6" self towering over my tiny 5' stature.

I look straight up into his eyes, which makes him smirk again. I decide to tease him so I bite my lip.

Dont get me wrong, I do like this kid. I've had a crush on him since I've gotten here. But when this kinda stuff happens, I love to tease them.

He smirked when i bit my lip he smirked and began to lean in. I let his lips brush mine before ducking under his arms and going to sit on my bed.

He stood there for a minute, shocked before he came over and sat next to me on the bed.

"Do you not like me? I'm sorry if I was reading signals wrong I didnt mean to-" he was saying.

It was clear in this that he respected me. He wanted it and I could tell, but if I didnt he wouldn't do it. I felt bad because I did want it, so I interrupted him and pushed him back onto the bed.

He was once again shocked. He was obviously confused, so I smirked. I climbed on top of him and leaned down so our lips brushed against each others.

I pulled back slightly and whispered "I do like you, Xavier Dallas."

With that he pulled me down and kissed me. He flipped us so he was on top without ever breaking the kiss. After a while I pushed him off and breathily said "Air."

He gave me a small smile and rolled off of me and layed right next to me. After I caught my breath I snuggled close to him.

"I was thinking we annonomysly leak the smaller files to the New York Times. Then we say it prompted us to conduct our own investigation, and we reveal the big files, the assasin for example. Then, he goes to jail and we take his business. But before we do that, we got to study some law." I say.

Xavier simply nods and pulls me closer. Not long after we both drift into a nice, quiet sleep.

::::::::::::

Its Saturday and I wake up with Xavier on top of me.

"Good God Xavier." I grunt while pushing him off of me.

He stirs and wakes up.

"God Dyl why so early." He says in his sleep filled voice.

"Xavier. Its 2:30 in the after noon." I say giggling and going to my closet.

"Well shit." I hear him mumble as I'm changing into my outfit for the day. I'm going to the New York Times office and it's going to be a long drive.

I put on some joggers and a tank top before turning around to see Xavier. His eyes are clouded with lust which makes me chuckle.

"I gotta go. I already texted the girls that I'll be gone today." I say while walking past him.

"Can I come?" He asks me.

"Only if i pick the music and there's no complaints from you." I said pointing a finger at him.

He sighed an over dramatic sigh and nodded, which caused us both to laugh.

He ran over to his house to get changed and met me at my car. It was a Chevy truck and it was my baby. We climbed in and he began to take the Aux cord.

"Ah ah ah!" I said, snatching from him. He poured in response which made me laugh.

I plugged my own phone in and "How Will I Know" by Whitney Huston came on and trust me when I tell you I was jamming.

Xavier was less than enthusiastic, but I loved it.

::::::::::::::

We were almost there and Africa by Todo was coming to an end.

"That was the longest car ride of my life." Xavier groaned.

I laughed and slid the packet into the slot.

"Time to head back! I'll pick a different playlist this time." I said with a laugh. "But Africa is the shit."

'You Give Love a Bad Name' by Bon Jovi was blasting and we were both singing along as we drove home.

:::::::::

We got home and I parked in my driveway.

"Well that was fun! See you later!" I said as I walked up to my front door.

"What makes you think I'm going to my house?" Xavier playfully questioned.

"Umm. I said so!" I said running inside but he caught the door before I could shut it.

I smiled and ran upstairs into the guest room. I slammed the door and climbed to the top shelf in the closet.

Xavier ran in and looked all over. When he came into the closet I jumped down and landed on top of him.

"Shit man." He grunts. I get off him and head to my room.

I get into the shower and a can hear the door creak open.

"Get out or I'll kick you out!" I shout from the shower.

"But why?" Xavier whines.

I just laugh and turn off the water and shout one last warning before he leaves.

I dry off and put on some spandex and a sports bra before walking out.

Xavier had on just athletic shorts and we both took the time to admire each other.

I climb into be and he snuggles in beside me. We are about to fall asleep when we hear glass shattering downstairs.
