"Well, well, well. I haven't seen you since your party boy days."

Cameron had been standing on roof of one of the buildings of Fernwood Academy. In particular, it was the dormitory that had the greenhouse on the roof. His arms were folded over the ledge as he gazed over it, watching the students pile up in front of the school.

He whirled around, curious to who the owner of the voice was. "Ah. Xander."He smirked, raising a flask that he had in one hand, "Want some?"

Xander joined him, taking the flask and taking a gulp. He passed it back to him, folding his arms over the ledge too. "What are you doing?"

"Just standing here. Quite hard to see that, eh? "Cameron asked, "I thought you were more observant than that."

"I mean in general, idiot. Are you part of the superior or not?"Xander punched his arm lightly.

He shrugged, laughing without humor. "Who knows. It's a mystery to everyone."

"A mystery that could very well get you killed."

"But isn't that more fun?" Cameron angled his body a bit to look at him.  "You were sent here to kill me weren't you?"

Xander nodded, not looking at him. "Yeah. Ever since Veronica you haven't shown up to one meeting. And you know what, man? We're not completely unreasonable even though we were all told to remain emotionless and don't fall in love with people. Of course that's what you fucking go and do. Nonetheless, they let you go off drinking and gambling and whatever low-life thing you decided to get yourself into-"

Cameron punched him so hard that Xander went stumbling back several feet. He made eye contact with Xander, not speaking for a good thirty seconds. He turned away, folding his arms over the ledge again. "You know very well to never say that name to me. I haven't been doing that shit anymore. The superior give me something to do and I do it. I don't know what else they fucking want. "

Xander wiped blood off his mouth, composing himself. "It's not enough Xander. Your emotions are wild and you're unpredictable. Your true allegiance is with yourself and they don't like that."

"So what are you asking for, Xander? I know you're here to ask for something in return for my life."Cameron replied dryly.

"I want you to introduce me to your sister."

Cameron let out a incredulous laugh, "Pfft. My sister would hate you. Why do you need me to introduce her to you?"

"Because if she thinks you trust me, she'll trust me. Now do you wanna live or not?"

"Who says I won't kill you instead if you try to kill me."Cameron retorted. "Maybe I don't want a stupid fuck like you near my sister."

"Because you're not the only one who I was told to kill, Cameron." He moved to the roof and gestured toward an wooded area. Jason was with three thugs, seemingly just talking.  "He owed these thugs money so I let them in on his location. Don't try to tell me you don't care about him because I know you do."

Cameron sighed, "Fine. Whatever. I'll introduce you to her tonight."

"No. Now."Xander demanded.

"Kill the thugs then." Cameron said.

Xander looked over the side, his trench coat billowing in the wind. His vibrant eyes focused on the men and they suddenly collapsed on the ground. Jason was looking around in confusion as this point. He turned back to Cameron. "There you go."

"Great. Now do you want to be introduced as useless bastard or shit-eating manwhore?"

Rose adjusted the strap of her pink cat backpack and watched her mother drive away. Once she was gone, she turned to James to respond to his question. She found no matter how stupid it was, she could not lie to him. Even if she tried, she was sure he'd be able to tell. They had spent so much time together that they knew each other more than they knew themselves. "I had some intense nightmares."She admitted, "I just couldn't go back to sleep after I woke up. I didn't know my mind could conjure up things like that." She sighed. Rose paused a moment, checking his expression. She quickly smiled at him and took his hand, swinging it back and forth. "No matter. Dreams are dreams. Reality's more important. Are you excited to see everyone?"

 "AP classes as well.  I think the class director was drunk when he took in my application."

Alex chuckled at her reply, "Honestly. Me too. I haven't been taking school too seriously in recent years but I guess this is a chance for us to fix that. " He scratched his head on her Alcina remark "Her level? Maybe you, but never me. I'm going to be banging on her door begging her for help every night. "

"Did I hear you two are taking AP classes?"

Alex glanced over his shoulder to see Alcina standing not too far from them, holding a tote bag with both of her hands in front of her. She was dressed in her usual casual chic attire with a plain tank, jean jacket and skirt along with some flats. Her hair was a lot longer than he remembered, reaching past her belly button. "Hey Aly!"He said cheerfully, beaming at her. "We missed you." He had known Alcina and her sister Ariana for a super long time. They had a small group of friends which included the twins, himself, Shay, Rose, Jason and now since last year, James. Though good friends with Ariana, she often went off with Riley often and he tended to stay with his group of friends which Ariana had found a place in. 

She came over and hugged Shay and Alex, then Emma. "Hey sweetheart. First day at school huh? Nervous?"She asked warmly.

"A little bit."Emma admitted, "I'm worried I won't know anyone."

"No one does the first day. It's okay. You'll make friends easily. I promise."Alcina rubbed her shoulder and looked at Shay and Alex. "I'm so proud of you guys for taking AP classes. You're both going to do really good. If we're taking the same ones, we can do a study group together."

"Oh please God let that be true. I need you Aly I'm so screwed."Alex told her, laughing. "I'm too dumb for this. My parents are making me take them."

She sighed, "You're not dumb, sweetie. You'll be fine."

"Thanks, Aly. I hope so. Where's Ariana?"

"When we got out of my aunt's car, she went off to find Riley. "
