Chapter 4

Cara's pov

"Damnit these boxes are heavy. Why did I bring all my boxing practice stuff?? I should've left it at the ring! I'm so dumb. It's so damn heavy! Okay, take a deep breath and don't get annoyed. It'll be worth it when u follow the lead. Don't get annoyed too fast. Take a deep-"

"Are you the new student?" A manly voice asked me from behind. I turned around to see a boy, an inch or two taller than me, with dirty blonde hair and sea green eyes, and with cute little freckles on his tanned face staring at me. Honesty speaking, this was not what I imagined the boy to look like. I mean, his voice was intimidating but his face looked like an angel. I sort of felt like laughing, but then remembered I wasn't here to make friends, but to follow my lead, besides, the kid looked a tad bit, I don't know, suspicious? Anyway, I looked at him and told him I was Rogue, the new student. Yeah, I decided to change my name, I didn't want anyone to recognise me and ruin my chances of following my lead. I told Ash not to call me Cara, but Rogue instead, and at first he was sceptical about it, but agreed when I told him the name Cara in itself brought back memories of my mother I wanted to erase.The truth was my name was the last connection I had to my mother, and changing it made my heart break, but I couldn't afford to fail the mission, not when I was so close!

"Rogue huh. What a unique name. I don't think I've ever met a "Rogue" before. What are you, a werewolf?" He joked. I lightly chuckled and went along with it, not wanting to come off as rude.

"Not exactly. I prefer the term hybrid, a vampire and a werewolf." I smiled when I saw how his face lit up when he realised I shared a passion for mythical creatures too, and throughout they

tour he didn't stop talking about it once. We reached the principal's office and I was about to thank him for the tour when I realised I didn't know his name.

"Uhm, I'm sorry, but what's your name?" The boy chuckled airily and told me his name was Axel.

"Well, until next time m'lady" He bowed cheesily and waltzed away, leaving me wondering about how someone could be so carefree.

Principal's POV

Good lord! I have so uch to do! There is no way I can ever get this done in time. These children also make my job 10 times harder! I do not get paid enough for this. I mean the lack of respect th-

knock knock

I clear my throat and tell the person to come in. A girl who I have never seen before walks in. I try to remember if our school had signed up for a student exchange programme but so far I remember nothing.

"Excuse me, sir? I'm Rogue. The new student."

Aaaah, so that's who she was. I knew she didn't look familiar. And man did I forget about the new admission. I seriously have so much to do.

"I was told to come to your office to get my timetable, it's okay if you're busy though, I'll just-"

"Oh no at all, here, this is your timetable, I suppose someone has already showed the around the school?"

The respectful girl, Rouge was it, nodded,

"Very well then, off you go. Make sure to attend all your classes, don't get into fights, respect your teachers, make friends. I guess that's all I have to say. Out now, don't be late for you class"

The girl stumbled out looking confused, probably wondering how weird I was. That's the hard truth, no one is respectful now-a-days.

Rogue's pov

(I'll be putting it as Rouge now and not Cara)

Well that was a weird encounter. Hopefully the principal is as clueless as he is weird, because that would make following my lead ten times easier. Speaking of my lead, this school did not, and I cannot emphasis this enough, look like the ideal place for a gangster to be at, but I was confident, and decided to follow through. I also realised that I may need help later, for I wasn't that fully acquainted with the school, and would need someone who wouldn't get too suspicious of me, which was basically not possible. So I decided to contemplate telling Ash about it, about everything........
