"umm what for" I asked in an unusually low voice, tears just welling in my eyes thinking about the kind of trouble I might be in or framed for.
"you didn't do anything wrong" detective bora said in a calm voice.
"tch we haven't even told him anything and he's already on the verge of tears" detective Reyes said with amusement. "shut up don't ruin things like you always do" detective bora chided detective reyes but the fondness in his eyes for detective Reyes was obvious; umm well i guess it was obvious to only me.
turning to me detective bora continued "please star listen to me, first you can call me and him bora and reyes second what we need your help for is of utmost important hence you need to agree to work with us first before we can tell you anything"
"what" i protested "I can't say yes to what I don't know, I'm not a fool"
"rest assured its nothing real bad we promise please" detective bora pleaded.
I looked at his eyes the green in them assuring me that he was sincere and trustworthy.
"well OK I guess" I muttered.
"good" bora immediately exclaimed "we will be giving you an all expense paid scholarship to study at the famous "De la renta academy" if only you will go undercover for us".
"undercover and wait do you mean the de la renta academy, a termly tuition there rolls into millions" i asked confused what did these young men mean.
before bora could even reply reyes held up a finger to signify that it was his turn to speak "well kid you heard of the recent deaths right? the answer to it all lies at the De la renta academy, we have some intel that vampires might have a hand in this. "but vampires don't--e-xis-t" i couldn't even finish my statement before reyes silenced me with a finger, "He's good at that finger thing huh" I thought
reyes continued relentlessly "so well obviously kid we need your help to uncover it since obviously bora and I can't go as students if you say yes then a contract will be given to you to sign, a new identity during the time that you are with us and so many perks but if you refuse we will simply take you to be mind wiped so as to forget this conversation ever existed". reyes finished with a dangerously cold smile.
" I have a question" I spoke up.
"OK hit me up kid" reyes spoke.
" what do you mean by a new identity?" I asked, "well obviously kid" Reyes spoke he was becoming funny and annoying with him always saying obviously to press a point.
" the people at the De la renta academy aren't just kids they're socialites, they're the rich,noble and famous. you won't fit in if you're poor kid which you are right now so you're gonna be given a new identity; you'll play the role of star kingston the sickly son of the USA president who just recovered and is starting school, don't worry reyes finished with a smile you'll have access to your own chauffeur, guards, private jet and tons of money to show off"
oh that's quite a surprise, I guess I'll go but only on one condition and also because I want to prove to you that vampires don't exist.
Reyes smirked and retorted "until they're sucking you dry, then you'll realize but anyways what's your condition"
I took a deep breath before saying "I want my best friend"
