I walk over to my parents and sit down.

"What are we going to do?" I ask Angrily

"For now, we are going to go to a Hotel and let the Police do their job." Mom says

"I'll go start the car." Says dad as he gets up from the ground

<><><><><>

I look around the Hotel. It has two beds in the same room, a small bathroom and a small television in front of the two beds.

"This sucks." I mumble angrily

I hate that I didn't catch him, I was so close.

I sit on my bed and turn on the television. I look at the guild to see which is the ABC channel so I can cool down with some Once Upon A Time.

"Turn that off. You have school tomorrow." Says Mom

"It's only an hour long." I say begging her

She looks at the time on her watch and then back to me. "Fine."

THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL

I go to my locker to exchange my books for my morning class. I put in my combination at open my locker, when it opens a note falls out. It reads:

Last night was only the first thing that is going to happen to you. You are worthless and I want you to feel that way. You are going to do a series of things for me, each one worse than the other. I know that you won't do this until I have leverage over you so lucky for me I do. The first thing you must do is get yourself expelled. I don't care how just do it.  

                                          Sincerely,                                                                                                                                                                         The Punisher  

I rip the paper in half and shove it behind some of my textbooks. What leverage does this person have? I don't know if I should follow this person's orders or just believe that It's is some kind of  twisted prank. I get my books and slam my locker shut.

"Dude? Why are you always so mad?" Says my best friend, Sylvie

"Because everything annoys me."

"That's sad." She says

"Yeah... You don't annoy me though."

"That's good. Dude have you ever listened to P!nk's song called perfect?" She says putting her dark brown hair behind her ear, revealing her black earbud.  

"No. I only listen to Fall Out Boy."

"Of course you do." She says laughing

The bell rings so Sylvie and I head to our home bases.

<><><><><>  

It's now 5th period and all I thought about all day is that note. No one has come up to me and asked me if I got the note or not which make me think that this is serious. How did they get the note into my locker anyways? They don't let just anyone enter the school.

I stare at my food thinking about the note when Sylvie interrupts.

" Have you ever listened to Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day?" She asks as she sits down in the chair next to me

"Actually I have." I say impressively

"I'm listening to it right now. Want to listen?" She says, offering her other earbud

I take it and hope that it makes me forget about this recent drama.

After the song ends, I tell her about the note in my locker and about the house.

"Wow, I'm sorry." She responds

"What do you think I should do about the note?" I ask her

"I don't know... both options sound bad. Maybe we should just call the Police instead." She says playing with her hands in a nervous way.

"I ripped up the note. Besides they probably will say they are going to help but end up forgetting about it because they would rather catch murderers than catch some guy who threatens people!" I say angrily

"Calm down... I'm going to help you." She says

"I don't want you to do that. This person could target you and ruin your life like mine."

"Let it happen! I'm not letting you fight this on your own." She says strongly

She is really tough and stubborn so she probably won't let me win the argument.

"Fine. Together we can win the war."

"Great. Now we need to discuss the plan."

"How?!" I say in an angry tone

"First we need to set a trap for this person, next time they put something in your locker we will be ready." She says in a determined voice

"What about my mission?" I ask

"Oh, yeah... Well what do you think the leverage is?"

" I don't know. It must be important to me or it wouldn't be leverage."

"Since they didn't give a time of when you had to get expelled maybe we still have tomorrow, I can rush home right now and grab a security camera."

"You have a security camera?"

"Not exactly... I have a camera that can take video and we can use it for security."

I run my hand through my hair and I blow out some air.

"Okay. Go." I tell her

"I'm so glad I have my driver's license." She said cheerfully before fast walking out the nearest door.
