It was late so Roy started to take me home, I told him the address. He knows the city better than me so I needed his help to get home.
"Roy don't forget I don't talk to them alright," I reminded him.
"Yeah! Yeah! I get it," he huffed. When he said that I stopped talking.
He held my hand I couldn't help but blush a little for that, but he was helping me so I had to deal with it. He was on his skateboard well I bladed behind him in my rollerblades.
When we got to the house I put my rollerblades away then Roy knocked on the door. it opened and I saw Mrs. Luo.
"Roxanne thank god you're alright!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah," I signed.
"Rox I'll see you later," Roy sighed, whispering in my ear. I nodded my head and waved him off.
"Why we're you out with that guy!" she asked her voice raised.
"He's a friend," I signed, as I walked in the door.
"If you don't tell me you can't see him anymore. Now come eat some supper," she told me. It seems that supper had just finished cooking a few minutes ago.
"Come on everyone! Supper!" She yelled, when we sat down.
The others came and sat down at the table, plates with food were placed down in front of us. I just looked down at the plate eating slightly.
"So what's up with the boy anyways? I've never seen him at school before,"
"Yeah he looked older then you probably out of school too," Dave agreed with his brother. But unlike his brother he made sure that there was no food in his mouth.
"What?! You shouldn't be hanging out with a guy like that, especially someone older," Mr. Luo huffed. I slammed my utensils down and I glared at them.
"Roxanne!" Mrs. Luo growled, which made the others shiver but I wasn't affected one bit I continued to glare.
"You don't know anything about this at all! I'm done with supper! Good night!" I signed, storming off into my room.
I slammed the door behind me, lights off I fell onto my bed. I wiped away my tears that were forming. I sniffed then got into my PJs.
...
It was late and I couldn't fall asleep so I was listening to what the other were doing. I heard my window open I looked over my hand under my pillow I held my handle. I then quickly relaxed.
"Roy!" I gasped.
"Roxanne I told you that I'd be here for you," he whispered.
"They told me I couldn't see you again," I muttered.
"It's alright... I won't let that happen Roxie," He whispered, as he climbs in beside me. I nuzzled into him falling asleep in his warm embrace.
...
I woke up early in the morning and Roy was gone...but I knew that it wasn't a dream. For he left the window open... which for him wasn't too surprising.
I went over and closed the window then got change out of my PJs and into my clothes... I'm still waiting on the uniform I should get it soon, though. I went into the kitchen and made myself breakfast.
I sat down and turned on the TV on with the volume on low and turn it on to the news.
The first thing it said shocked me.
"We got another report from the police that another body was found. They believe that the Assassin struck again. As a card which is his signature was left on the scene," The Anchorman announced.
N-no w-way That's not possible! I exclaimed. I quickly turned off the TV. Somethings not right but I can't do anything.... not until I'm sure.
...
I watched the Luo family's normal routine wanting to make sure nothing unexpected would happen. I turned the TV on then left to school alone. I put on my rollerblades pushed off and started to head to school thinking about what I just saw on the TV.
I then tripped and fell on the ground scraping my knee. "Ow..." I hissed. I looked at my blade a rock was trapped in between two of the wheels. I pulled it out of the wheels then put one hand over the scrape, and the other fixing my helmet and gear.
I wonder if they're right could they really be back... I muttered. I quickly looked around as I got up from the ground. I dusted myself off and pushed off and started off to school again.
...
A man watches the girl that fell he saw that she hurt herself. He just stayed in the shadows out of sight watching her. He watched as she got up. He then looked at where she hurt herself. But couldn't find it.
What does it mean? Who is he? What was with the man just watching her and doing nothing to help? Does this man know her?
He slips back into to the shadows with an evil grin.
...
The school was buzzing about this whole thing it was what everyone was talking about as I walked through that halls. Apparently, the one that was killed was a student here. These guys don't know the Assassin at all. Something really isn't right. I puffed and I headed off to class.

I totally wing that part before from after the sentence "I put on my rollerblades and pushed off and started to head to school thinking about what I just saw on the TV." to that last paragraph.
