Ace's p.o.v

"So,what do you do in school? Emily's told me about your group of friends. You guys are popular or something." Summer says as we walk in Sam's garden together in cool and slow steps. She talks really slow and soft, it's almost inaudible and I think it's pretty cool.

"Well nothing actually, I guess I'm just loveable. I don't do any sports or anything like that." I answer sincerely. Basically everyone has the mentality that every popular does sports.

"But she'd said you guys are only friends with people with titles." She furrows her eyebrows,trying to reassure herself that she knew what her friends were talking about.

"Well yeah but we've been friends since before they all decided to join all of those activities. Although I am considering the basketball team the school's going to introduce soon." I tell her. That's basically the only sport I might actually be involved in.

She nods, "Hmm. . .Interesting." Her phone beeps and she brings it out and smiles, "Sam said to meet at the pool, it's warmed up and the party is starting." She announces to me, although she has her gaze fixed on her phone's screen.

"Cool. Let's go then!" I beam in excitement. That is the main point of being here after all and pool parties actually do crank me up. We turn to head back to the mansion and my phone starts to ring. I bring it out and Summer giggles at the display name of the caller,'The love of my life'.

"The love of your life?" She asks with a smile although it's obvious that she's trying so hard to contain her laughter.

"Yeah, it's my little sister. She's four." I smile back at her,hoping that it immediately clears the thoughts I know she already has in mind.

"Aww! That is so the sweetest thing!" She beams and I just nod as I answer the phone so that I don't have to miss the call.

"Hey B, what's up?" I call into the phone, knowing already that there's an issue with the babysitter. That's why I got her a phone in the first place, so that she can let me know when the babysitter has either, abandoned her and left or has gotten injured.

"Ace! Get over here right now." Eileen whisper shouts. I frown and my heart starts to beat faster than should be considered normal.

"What's wrong?" I question, already hastening my steps although I have no idea why she's asked for my presence back home. The way she's asking is enough to make me walk that fast though.

"Well clearly the babysitter you got me is a fraud and possibly also a thief."

"What?" I ask in a loud and confused voice, and start to run. "Where are you? Are you okay?" I start to panic, running even faster. I ignore Summer's screams for me and head towards my car. It's almost midnight and my daughter is alone with a total stranger, God what was I thinking?

"It's okay I'm fine,for now. She has me locked in my room and she's doing God knows what." Eileen sighs and I can hear her trembling voice. I know she's about to cry.

"Listen here baby, don't cry okay? I'm on my way." I press the unlock button in my hand and the car makes a beep sound. I jump into the driver's seat,start the car and hit speed.

"Don't end the call okay? Just stay on the line. " I tell her and she sniffs, "Okay."

I hear a loud scream in the background, "What was that?!" I ask.

"I don't know. . .What is going on out there?!" She shouts but there's no reply. I increase the car's speed and put the phone on the seat beside me. At this rate, I might crush someone to death.

Faith's p.o.v

I close the door in all anger. It doesn't close as hard as I want it to. I open it even wider and jam it with such force, it closes with a bang and I smile to myself. Much better. I can't believe I wasted five minutes of my days on earth trying to get an empty room opened. . . Well, I can believe it, I've wasted my life on worse.

I move to the room next to Eileen's and turn the knob, would you believe that? It budges. I flash my phone's screen to the wall to find a switch.

Flipping it, the room is illuminated revealing the most beautiful room I've ever seen in my entire existence .Okay since it probably belongs to Ace and he's a guy, I guess the right adjective would be the most handsome room I've ever seen.

My mouth reflexively forms an, 'O' as I take in the interior design. For such a small house, the guy is damn rich. Okay Faith, not the time to think about how dumb and dumber this room makes your room feel like.

I bring out my phone and set it to video recorder, "Okay people welcome back to the weird series where your hall monitor, yeah that's right I said it, I'm going to be your future hall monitor, you dumbasses, when I take Ace card down. The weird series where your hall monitor doesn't just monitor the hall,she monitors the deepest, darkest secrets." I pause and add in a whisper, "The juicy ones that no one saw coming." I add a sinister laugh and end the video.

I start to record a new one that has the view of the entire room. "Just like many of you had suspected, Ace Winter has oh my God the craziest best room ever. I mean, duh. Let's check out his closet, what if hides more than clothes in there?" I walk towards the closet and turn the phone around to tape my face and whisper, "What if he hides a child in there? Well we are just about to find out."

The closet of course is a walk-in closet. Stabilizing the phone in one hand and using the other to roughly shove his clothes around. "Coast is clear. No child, just clothes." I say and head out of there.

I end the video and put my phone on the bed. Opening drawer by drawer, I stumble on a picture frame with him and Eileen in it. Under the frame is a caption, 'Happy Father's Day, from mom'.

I hurry over to my phone and start to tape. "Ha! You see it! Ace Winter is a teenage daddy! How come he tells the world he has a little sister when she's his daughter? What other secrets could the famous Acey be hiding from us? Stay tuned and you're bound to find out. Crazy hall monitor, Faith Brooke the dangerous, out!" I say and end the video.

I raise the picture up and take a few snaps of it and selfies with it, doing my worst crazy faces.

Just as I'm about to leave, I hear Ace's voice from the outside, "Are you okay? Oh thank goodness! Just wait till I find out who's behind this. Where is she?!" He demands in a voice that tells me if I'm seen by Ace Winter, I would be dead meat.

Silently, I gulp and stand behind the door like that, frozen in place. As if the universe hates me - which I'm sure it does, the doorknob turns and opens ajar, me behind it. The opened door reveals an overboiled Ace standing in the doorway.
