Chapter 3: School Attack

AJ's POV

I put the hoodie on and snuck out the window into the chilly night. I climbed down the drainage pipe and landed on the ground without a sound. I crept down the driveway, making my way to the road until I saw a car pull up in front of the house, I ducked back to the side of the garage to hide. I peeked out and saw Ashton and some other guy get out of the car. He had a built athletic figure, slightly curly brown hair and brown eyes. His face was very defined. He was very handsome.

"I don't know what to do Zayn," Ashton said leaning on the hood of the car.

"Ask her, duh" the guy named Zayn said.

"What am I supposed to say, 'hey Adajante, I know your family just died and your glum and all but I find you suspicious can you tell me why?', No dude no" he said sarcastically.

Me, what does he find suspicious?

"Whatever bro, I say ask her, or demand it," Zayn says.

"I dunno man, that chick's weird." Ashton sighed. "Whatever, let's change the subject."

"Find anything more on Triple D's identity?" Zayn asked suddenly.

"Na," he said disappointedly.

"Aww. Ashton can't find the identity to his true love, what will he do?" he mocks Ashton dramatically.

"Shut up. I'm not in love, just.... intrigued". He stated.

Then all the memories came back to me. He's the annoying boy that always tried to get my attention. Whenever I'm at the skate park he's there trying to talk to me or he would just lurk around, looking all high and mighty. And the one time he got something good. The one time I mess up, it's him to find out. He found out that Triple Dare was a girl. Oh! How could I not recognize him?

"You say potato, I say potato" Zayn shrugged.

"Goodbye," Ashton rolled his eyes and walked towards the House.

"But you'll still keep trying?!" Zayn shouted.

"Of course I will"

Ashton went into the house and Zayn got in the car and left. I seriously gotta be quick. I got my board and skated quickly down the road. I went a familiar route and passed familiar landmarks so that I knew where I was going.

I soon reached my school, Midwest High. There were three big brick buildings: the science building, the art building, and the mandatory subject building. I made my way up to the wire fence and climbed over and made my way to the science building. While walking I put on some silk gloves so that my fingerprints won't be left at the scene.

I climbed up the side using air-conditioner vents and piles (almost felt and lost my grip many times), I went to the place where I knew the window would be open. The chemistry lab windows. I got in and quietly went to the door, weaving through desks, and opened the door. I was shocked to find it unlocked and was disappointed that I wouldn't get to do the liquid nitrogen trick, or just kick the door down.

I walked through the halls and then got started. I took out the bag and took out one bomb and threw it at a locker and it exploded in a colorful splat, the chemicals I added helped with that part, and a huge section of the lockers was covered. Good!

I ran around the school doing that for a while, using the connectors to all the buildings. When I was finished I was satisfied with my work. For the finishing touch, I made my way outside to the Midwest sign and took out my journal and spray paint. I climbed up the pole and got onto the ledge that is in front of the big billboard and started painting. I looked at the recent design in my journal that I drew earlier and put it on the sign. When I was done I looked at my masterpiece in approval and then made my way home quickly.

I climbed up the side of the house and climbed into my room. I took off my hoodie and changed into my pajamas. I hid my stuff under the bed and climbed onto it and lay down.

"Another day done D" I smiled.

It was silent and I wondered why, where is everyone. I exited my room and went to Andy's room. There was yellow police tape in front of the door. I looked inside and from what I saw from the moonlight, there was blood on her bed and on the floor.

Oh yeah. She's gone. Force of habit to come back here.

I willed my self not to cry and ran back to my room, grabbed all my Triple D stuff and went out of the window. As fast as possible with all the stuff, I ran to Mia's house. It was a ten minute run and by the time I was back in the room I collapsed on the floor in pain and exhaustion.

Then there was a knock on the door, which caused me to groan out in misery. I shoved all the stuff under my bed and got up and put on the disguise and went to open the door.

"Hey-"

"Where were you!?" Ashton demanded cutting me off.

"I-I went for a jog, I do it every night." I lied.

"And you come through the window?" He asked irritated.

"Sometimes I came in late and I just started using the window so I don't disturb my family" I stated.

"You should have told us" he snapped angrily making me flinch.

"I-I'm s-sorry for worrying you and Mia," I said on the verge of tears.

"You didn't worry me but to you worried my mother. Don't do it again " he said angrily.

"Goodn-"

But before I could finish he slammed the door in my face causing my glasses to break and fall to the floor.

"My glasses" I gasped. I sank down to the floor in tears and let everything out on that cry.
