1 Chapter 1

I was sitting down under the tree at the back of my high-school. This is often the tree people confess their feelings to a person that they are in "Love", with them, but everyone here are pieces of shit. I hear every single confession, but no one ever knows that I'm there overhearing them. I don't share anything about their normal personal life, of course. I love this spot, no one even knows where I am at lunch, it's amazing!

I sigh and smile at my growing happiness even if I don't have any friends, I am still happy with my life, I have a happy family and no one bullies me at all! You could say that I have a better life than most people do.

I look up and see that the sun has almost set, one more class and I am going to graduate high school, and tomorrow I'm turning 18!

As my eyes open, I hear the bell go off. Placing my dark hands on the ground, I slowly got up. I put on a bland face and slowly walked down the hill and back towards the school.

My feet landing on the ground over and over again, my mind drifted off. Then I feel something land on me, it felt like I was being squashed. Oh, wait… that is what happened, I forgot for a second…

Anyways, as I looked up, I saw the loner, and nerd of the school, Oliva Brown, I blinked a couple of times, to wake up to the fact that Oliva just fell on me, and I saw her blushing face. It was obvious that she was in a hurry to get to her class. Everyone knows that she has perfect attendance, she seems to be everywhere at once. Oliva got up in a hurry and she yelled the words; 'I'm so sorry!' as she continued running towards her class.

I got up once again, and I hoped that I wouldn't be late for the next class I looked around to see where I was in school when I saw that I was right next to my class, I smiled and I walked into the classroom, but the second that I realized that I was smiling in school, I went back to my normal blank face, I just wasn't quick enough to bring my face back to its cold state, my teacher saw.

"Miss Jones, did I see you smile just then?" "No Mrs Baldwin, you were just seeing things," I tell her, but I was lying, and she knew that I was. I walked to my set in the back right-hand corner.

I looked out of the window as the teacher started to talk, it was maths, for me is the easiest subject that you can give me, I had finished grade 12 math when I was in year 10, but the school has refused to give me work harder because I can't handle the 'workload' of it, but I think it is because they don't want to hire any more people and use more of their millions of dollars just to help one person for 2 years.

I blinked and turned my attention back to the lesson to see that the teacher was covering dependent and independent variables, piece of cake. I turn back to the window and wait for class to end.

I then hear the bell go off.

It was the end of high school, but still, I kept my composure. People couldn't find out that I even there The few people that have seen me, they were scared of me. I don't understand why even to this day…

I walk out of the class slowly, not to get caught in everyone running as fast as they can out of the school, trust me, I felt just as excited as anyone would, but I was just a lot better at hiding my emotions

As I saw the crowd leave the classroom, I start to walk out of the class slowly, and just as I was just about to leave the room, I heard Mrs Baldwin call out my name; "Yes Mrs Baldwin?" "I know you can feel things. So, please be careful in the real world, you're going to need it. I'll let you go now…" With that I walk off, I felt guilty. She was the best teacher that I have ever had, and I just walked off on her.

Just as I was about to close the class door, I chose to walk back in, this was the last time anyone would see me in this school, I had nothing to lose. I ran up to her and gave her my first and only hug I will give at this school, I squeezed her tightly and, I felt a couple of drops for water landed on my shoulder. I look up to see Mrs Baldwin with tears in her eyes, this just made me hug her even more, then we heard a knock on the door, we both jumped and I went back to my cold expression, faced the door, and said: "You can come in." It was the headmaster. "What would you like me to do today Mr Hill?" Mrs Baldwin said, giving the headmaster a bow. Everyone in the school must bow to the principal every time they see him but I didn't care anymore, I was leaving this school for good.

What I didn't think about was that this will blow my cover. You see I am an assassin, everyone in my family is. If you said no, you would be killed, or if you were important to the family tree, you would be hurt, hurt so much that you had to give in because the pain was just too much to handle.

"Miss Jones. I need to see you in my office-" "'Why-?" "NOW." Mrs Baldwin looked at me scared, she had seen things that no "normal" humans could understand. She is a relative of mine, we both know it, but never even asked each other.

I walked away from Mrs Baldwin closing my eyes and hoped for the best.

Mr Hill lead me to his office and sat me down quickly; "I know what you are doing." "What!?" I half yelled at him, but regretting it the second that I came out of my mouth, 'If he knows about what we do, we are all going to be killed.' but I keep a blank face and stare at him. He looked at me scared, afraid, I know it. "Miss Jones… I know what you are. You're a, you are a murderer." You could tell he was holding back his anger, he knew he was doing something life-threatening, and trust me, it was going to be 'life' changing...
