Chapter 3 - : How NOT To Uncover A Star

I walk out of the office and around the hallways I see my targets. They also seem to be the only students in the building currently.

The principal doesn't want anything that can harm the school's reputation. So that is why he wants me to gather some information on them.

"Hey, what are you guys gonna do after school?" Says the person who seems to be Simon Clemon

"I don't know but I would like to stay with Leonardo some more and maybe go on a date." Says the person who is described as Anie Ayaka from my notes.

The person who seems to be Leonardo Simmons brushes off Anie's attempt to flirt with him. He seems to be more interested in a white-haired lady with a mask who has to be Alice Elvan.

"How about you Alice you seem to be free today. You want to hang out and go to the local computer cafe?" Leonardo asked Alice, making Simon a bit jealous.

It was total madness. It was more of a love scribble than a triangle. Anie likes Leo Leo likes Alice and Simon also likes Alice.

"I am busy currently with my work. You guys should also focus on your careers." Alice responded.

As she says that, everyone seems to separate and scatter. They went in multiple directions in the school building, making me wonder who I should follow first.

'Seems like Alice is the most important, so let's see if she is hiding anything.'

I thought to myself that she would also be the easiest since I could blend in with the crowd if they started to gather.

And boy was I wrong because during the following heist…

"Why are you following me? If I am not mistaken you are either an information breaker or a stalker." Alice says while staring me down.

You may be wondering how I got caught, so let us rewind a bit.

One step at a time I slowly followed Alice out of the building and into the front yard. There wasn't a crowd of people for some reason, but probably because she had a mask on. I got to look around L.A. a bit during my mission. I did arrive in L.A. to start my second year of high school because other schools may or may not have a report of my actions during my first year of high school. And well let's just say I was quite a troublemaker because of my job as an information breaker and spy for student celebrities of course.

I almost lost her when I admired L.A.'s city block. I quickly quickened my pace and created a distance between me and Alice. But then she started to go into a cafe and out of it then went back in. I, of course, followed her through the whole way. That is when I messed up when I followed her through an alley. I looked around and noticed that the sky was getting grey and dark.

And here we are now. Stuck in an alley with my target while she was confronting me. My following skills might need some work after I am finished with this.

"Are you deaf?! Did you, not hear me?"

"I heard you loud and clear miss."

"Then answer me. Stalker, information breaker, spy, anything."

This is the same feeling of being interrogated by students at my old high school. The suspense and nervousness I felt were irresistible and people wondered how I was an information breaker.

"Listen, we might have the same destination. You never know."

"No one would go to a cafe then walk out of the cafe and walk back in."

She got me good. That was probably a common tactic people use to identify stalkers.

"I will just walk away how abo-"

"What are you doing in an alley, mister Felix?"

I turned around to see the one and only Charlotte. The timing was just so perfect that you wouldn't even call it a coincidence.

"HELP! He is trying to kid-"

I slapped my hand on Alice's mouth before she could keep me in cold waters.

"Sorry, Charlotte we are kind of busy so go buzz off like the annoying bug you are."

"You guys seem to be busy doing something suspicious. Why did she just try to call for help when you slapped your hand on her mouth?"

I tried to answer the question when Alice twisted my arm.

*Bang!*

My face went straight to the dirty ground of an alley and she twisted my arm almost breaking it.

Pain rushed around my body and I felt like I was going to lose my arm.

"Answer my question."

Before I knew it both of them glared at me with a killing intent for some reason.

"You know this place is quite isolated. Maybe we should kill him and leave him here."

"No, the principal told him to watch over me and to spy on you and your friends."

'Did Charlotte eavesdrop on my conversation with the principal?'

I couldn't think my cover would be blown in a snap of a finger. The fact that they were in this together seemed odd. I would never think about them two working together. The fourth and the first most popular.

"Hey! What do you think we should do to you?"

"Set me free."

"I don't think so."

She pins me down on the ground harder making me grit my teeth.

"Charlotte, shouldn't you be home by now? Why did you eavesdrop on my conversation with the principal?"

"Remember the person I told you I was meeting? Well, this is my lovely friend Alice Elvan you probably know. Regarding your question about eavesdropping on your conversation with the principal, that is a secret."

So they are on good terms even though one of them is the most popular in the school and the other is the fifth. I thought they would compete and not get along, but I guess I was wrong.

They started to whisper to each other out of nowhere and after a few minutes of whispering, they started to speak to me.

"We need your capabilities, what are you good at?"

"Getting information."

"You couldn't follow Alice without getting caught though."

I had to find a way to escape this girl's grip before she breaks my arm. I could try calling for help, but they could shove a clothe in my mouth. They seem to doubt my abilities…

'Haha, you shouldn't underestimate me you fools'

I could just imagine the looks on their faces when I get their secrets out.

"What are you all smug about?"

She tightens her grip on my arm making me squeal a bit.

"Ok ok, I will do anything," I said with a pleading face.

I will have to play along for now, but I can't keep the act up forever.

"Anything?"

"Yes, anything!"

"I want you to help us become famous around the world. Can you do that?" Charlotte says with doubt.

"I thought you hated me, Charlotte."

"Don't worry about that because you will be listening to whatever we say."

The smug look on both of their faces makes me want to crumble them up and throw them down the trash.

"I can do it."

She suddenly pulls out a contract and a knife.

"A BLOOD CONTRACT! Are you serious?!"

"Yes."

She pricks my finger and stamps my blood on the sheet.

"I didn't even read the conditions!"

"You won't have to."

My life has been juggled up. Everything happened so fast that I felt like I had super speed…
