"i can't believe he did that! such a jerk." sophia cries on the call between millie, sophia and [name].

they were currently talking about the amount of homework piled up from their math teachers, "i know, it's craz-" [name] cut herself off as she heard the front door shut, "oh! noah's home, i'll call you guys back." she says, bidding a small goodbye before ending the call and rushing towards the front door.

she watched as noah took his shoes off, "noah?" she frowned, seeing his cheek bruised and cut, "what happened?" she took a step towards him.

"oh, [name], you're home." he laughed nervously, "just got into another fight with the boys, no big deal." his eyes shifted around nervously.

[name] didn't believe him, but nonetheless sighed and guided him towards the kitchen, grabbing out the first-aid kit, "i don't believe you, noah." she mumbles, cleaning the wound and slipping a plaster onto it.

"well," he laughs, "you don't have to."

[name] gave him a look before placing the first-aid kit. it had been a week since finn had come over for the project and a week since she had gotten her cast off. noah has been coming home late with bruises covering him and cuts as well, and [name] had grown extremely worried. he wouldn't tell her a word, only saying he was being careless.

—

noah slipped his gloves off, "i've been less careful the past few days, [name]'s worrying too much." he utters stoically, not even gazing at the dead body laying on the floor, blood flooding the room.

"we should take extra precautions if you don't want her to find out, noah." millie sighs, grabbing the blood stained gloves from him and throwing them carelessly into the bin.

"agreed." sophia mumbles, gazing at the blood being cleaned by staff, "she'll find out sooner or later with finn on her back." sophia scoffs, "stupid boy."

"what a tragic love story, the opposing gang's leader falling for your innocent sister." millie laughs loudly, it echoing through the room underground.

"don't." noah growls.

there wasn't even the slightest bit of chance he'd let his sister fall for him, "okay, okay!" millie raises her hands in the air, "wasn't like sophia and i would let our best friend fall that deep anyway."

"whatever. just make sure he stays away." noah says, deadpanned as he walks out of the room.

"guh, he's too overprotective of her!" sophia whines, "we can barely get away with taking her out shopping." she pouts, sighing loudly as they walk out the door.

"he just cares, soph. there are hundreds of people who hate noah, they'd do anything to get revenge." millie laughs at her friend's antics.

it was monday, the air was cold and it rained furiously, "did you bring an umbrella, [name]? it'll be raining the whole day." sophia asks as they sit at a lunch table, eating their food.

"yeah! noah kept nagging me about bringing one, so i did." she laughs, putting a piece of fruit into her mouth, not before feeling multiple eyes slicing through her back.

she stiffened uncomfortably, turning around to see if anyone had been staring.

unfortunately, a whole table seemed to be staring, consisting of finn and his friends, including a new face, a girl.

she frowned as the girl glared angrily, "ignore them." millie says, glaring back at the table, grabbing [name]'s face gently and turning it towards sophia and her, "they're not worth our time." she smiles softly and reassuringly.

"why are they looking at me? do you know?" [name] frowned, fidgeting with her shirt nervously.

"it's nothing you need to worry about girly.. let's start heading to class, okay?" sophie smiles, helping [name] up and guiding her out the door.

"i honestly don't know what's so good about her." iris scoffs, swiping lip gloss on for the 50th time today. it was clear she did not like [name].

wyatt spoke up, "she's cute." he shrugs, taking a bite of his pizza, earning an unnoticed glare from finn, "but unfortunately, her brother is our enemy's gang's leader." he tutted.

"do you think she knows?" jack looks up at his fellow members, raising a brow.

"she doesn't." finn spoke bluntly and coldly.

sadie spoke for the first time in the conversation, "he's right. she doesn't, otherwise she'd fear finn more. she doesn't have a clue." she announces, "so gullible and naive." she laughed under her breath.

"are we targeting her? i mean.. easy revenge!" iris laughs in a brat-like tone, pickering her lips and sliding her lip gloss into her bag.

finn suddenly stood up, slamming his hands onto the lunch table. everyone flinched,

"no."

he growled.

the cafeteria was dead silent as everyone watched him stride out, leaving his group behind, staring at each other quizzically.

—

sophia, millie and [name] sat in class, chatting to each other, "do you know why noah's been acting so weird lately? he's been coming home with cuts and bruises, i'm starting to get really worried.." [name]'s voice became mumbled as she looked down at her desk with a frown.

millie and sophia exchanged a look before sighing, "he.. he's just being less... um.. careful, getting in fights with caleb and gaten more.. you know? boys being boys." millie explained awfully slowly, like she was searching for the right words.

"you think?" [name] asks, "i hope you're right.. i hope he isn't getting involved in anything bad." she sighs.

"well-" sophia was immediately cut off by the sound of the door opening and slamming shut loudly.

in walked finn, his glare dominating the room as nearly everyone seemed to sink in their seats.

the bell rung and he passed [name], heading for the back of the room and sitting down in his seat, his glare still prominent, "gee.. what's wrong with him." sophia retorts quietly, "anyway, millie and i have to get to class.. we'll see you after school, kay?" she smiled, earning a nod from [name].

the whole class, [name] shifted uncomfortably, her back felt like it was burning.

she turned around, only to be met with two brown eyes, staring angrily at her. she frowned, why was he so angry?
