I giggled and turned back to Lin. Quickly turning back to Marcus as I heard paper unfolding.

"What's on it?" curious me asked. The boy just gave me the paper and rolled his eyes. I read the note which said 'your dead meat'. This made me snarl.

"Hey, it's ok little guy. I'll protect you" I swore to the shaken up boy, earning me a slight look from him.

"Ask yourself. On that dark ledge, poised to strike with clean opportunity..." Lin turned back to the class.

"Who would you kill?" I thought about this, my answer was still simple though... abusers, just like my farther.

"Your homework tonight, half your semester grade, will tell me who you really are. Use your training. Search the city for a worthy target. Someone you think deserves to die, and kill them."

The tension was broken by the sound of the bell.

"Discard the body, hide all evidence. Bring me proof." I gathered my things and stood up.

"You coming?" Marcus nodded, picking up his books to.

As we began to walk out, we heard Willie say to them "No problem for killers like you two." I just roll my eyes. "You bet it isn't, and if your not careful it might just be you. No one likes a bully." I sarcastically responded.

Me and Willie had been friends for ages but he always ignored me in front of his friends, what annoys me.

"Sorry about him Marcus, that's Willie, he's a look bad but I'm really soft and can't hurt a fly type. We got hand to hand combat next, won't this be fun?" I asked, getting no response to her combat question just a dorky remark about Willie.

"Why's Willie such a dick?" Marcus questioned. "Because he's not a rat Marcus. Legacy's don't like rats, your a rat, they aren't going to like you. I do though." I said wiggling my eyebrows up and down, getting a laugh out of Marcus.

I could see me and Marcus were already bonding a close friendship, one of those ones were you would go to jail just to protect the other one. I didn't feel like this for anyone, only Billy. Not even Saya.

As we were walking to hand to hand combat, we found ourselves getting into conversation.

I felt a hand wrap around my waist as Marcus was going on about his favourite activities.

"Billy" I said turning around, high-fiving the green haired boy. "You and Marcus, aye?. Never would have guessed" I roll my eyes. "No, Billy. We are just friends. Plus can you imagine me, the almighty god, with that street trash." I clicked my tongue to this. I look over at Marcus to see him falling behind, just looking at the ground.

I felt bad, as I could tell he didn't take what I said as a joke. I ran up to the frowning boy swinging my arms around his neck looking him in the eyes, just how I had done then night I brought him back.

"Hey, I'm sorry if I offended you. It's just me and Billy's humour. And for your information, I would totally date street trash like you." I smirk as I looked into Marcus's eyes.

I let my arms go from around Marcus's neck,  running back up to Billy.

I was sat in class, on my knees, next to Billy and Petra. I was listening to Miss De Luca, but my attention was stuck on the new student sat across the room.

"When the Republic of Texas openly declared genocide, which Indian tribe survived for another 40 years?" Miss De Luca asked the class. Marcus realised I was looking at him at this point and gave me a smile back making me turn my head away in embarrassment.
