ANONYMOUS

i spotted Tyler, TJ, Zac, Jeremy and Jen near the foodcourt. I quickly made my way over to them.

"Hey," I greeted them.

"Hey, seen the creep around?" Tyler asked me. "They told me everything. I regret not calling the police that night."

"Don't regret it, you did what you had to do," I told him.

"Have you told Ray?" Jen asked me.

"Nope, haven't seen him all day," i replied. "I might, since i have him in my class next period."

"Ray?" Zac and Jeremy said together. They looked confused.

"Why does he have to know?" Jeremy bit out.

"He barely did anything that night when you got attacked," Zac said angrily.

"Yeah, but he's going to be around Skye a lot," Jen said gesturing towards me. "And he might ruin the plan. She's going to need all the protection she can get right?"

Both of them looked around the room, trying to think about whether I should tell him or not. The bell rang for last period. I gave them both a look, telling them to answer Jen's question.

"Im not sure," Jeremy said walking past me.

"I dont trust him," Zac said following Jeremy. I turned around and watched them walk out of the food court.

"Seriously, i think my best friends are worse than girls at holding grudges," I said to Tyler, Tj and Jen, who also watched as they left. They chuckled and we all left for our classes.

I had Ray in my next class and I was still debating in my mind whether I should tell him about the creepy stalker dude or to keep it between the five of us. i walked inside the classroom and made my way to the back of the room, and setting my bag on my desk.

"Boo!" somone grabbed my shoulders and yelled in my ear.

"What the fu- Ray!" i shrieked punching him lightly on his chest. He laughed then walked around me and took a seat next to mine.

"Nice to see you too," he said winking at me. "Listen, about the party. I wasn't really there for you, when you got hurt. I didn't even see what happened. I just saw you lying down on the couch in a really bad condition."

"It's alright," i said shaking my head. "About that, i need to tell you something."

He looked at me and nodded for me to conitnue. I looked at him and asked myself one question over and over again.

'Can I trust you?'

"Skye," he said putting his hand over mine. I jerked slightly then looked up at him. He gave me a confused look then smiled. "You wanted to tell me something?"

"Oh yeah," i said raking my hair. "Um, yeah, so-"

"You can trust me," he whispered. My heart picked up speed the way he said it in his sexy british french accent. In that moment I gave in and told him everything I knew about the creepy stalker dude and I also included the plan. When I was finished, he looked at me, shocked and a little panicked. I looked at him, waiting for him to say something. He looked outside and looked everywhere else but me. I put my hands over his and got his attention.

"What's wrong?" I asked.  

He opened his mouth to speak but closed it again, trying to figure out what to say.

"I don't know what to say," he said in a quiet voice. "I mean, who would do this to you? And for revenge?" He scoffed and shook his head. "I want in. The plan. Include me."
