The Hacker (On Hold)

Website 1 - The Return of Dylan Stone

Class ended with nothing else happening. When the bell rang I looked to my right at the spot Aria sat. Only she was no longer there, instead it was empty like at the beginning of class.

I followed Kyle out of the classroom and into the hall, towards the cafeteria.

"Who was that?" I asked Kyle as we walked. Me, looking around the hallway trying to spot the brown haired girl.

"That was Aria, well really that is her last name, but nobody knows her first. Every one of her records just has M.K. Aria. Hayden looked her up when she first arrived in town; nobody knew where she came from or who she was. She just showed up one day." He said it like he was telling a ghost story. "Also no one has heard her speak at this school, since she came to Rosewood 9 years ago."

"Where is Hayden and Wyatt?" I questioned, only half paying attention to him. Aria still being on my mind.

"Their meeting us at our table in the cafeteria." He told me.

Walking into the cafeteria, every head turned our way. Which made a smirk form on both of our faces, at the same time. Especially when all the girls are basically drooling.

"Yo Wyatt! Guess who decided to present us with his presence after it being two years seeing him. And ten years him not even being in this town." Kyle said as he slapped the brown haired, brown eyed boy on the back. Wyatt turned around looking confused until he saw me. His eyes widened in shock. He then got up and we did a man hug, just like Kyle and I had done earlier.

"Why are you here? Not that I'm not happy that you are its just so... out of the blue." Wyatt asked.

Ah the question i had been dreading, since I knew I was coming back.

"Kaylee and I are living with my dad now; ma died in a car accident a few weeks ago." I told them as I scratched the back of my neck with my hand.

"Aw man. I'm sorry, that really sucks." Kyle patted my back.

You see when Kyle was 5 his mother also passed away so he had an idea on what it was like.

"I'm sorry man." Wyatt added in.

I gave them a small grateful smile. "Thanks guys. Now where is the geek of our group?" I asked trying to change the topic.

Then right at that moment, Hayden walked up to our table.

"Speak of the devil." Wyatt muttered.

"Hey long time no see." Hayden said and ran a hand threw his blond hair, after we fist bumped. "Sorry about your mom." Sadness shone in his hazel eyes.

I didn't even bother to ask on how he knew. He's always just known almost everything. He's great at hacking so that helps him with knowing everything.

When I moved away we all kept in touch. They even came over for a few of the summers.

I gave him a small smile, before my eyes drifted around the room. They landed on the brown haired girl from this morning. As if she knew I was looking at her, her head snapped up. Her eyes scanned the room before they connected with mine. I could clearly see the blue of her eyes from here.

I gave her my signature smirk that gets all the girls on their knees. She raised an eyebrow and gave me a confused face/ the really look.

Aria nodded her head to my right. Looking, I saw four girls dressed as cheerleader outfits making their way over. Quickly, I looked back at Aria, and ... she was gone. Again.

How the hell?

I looked around the room, but she was nowhere to be seen. Alright then.

The four girls were now in front of our table trying to look flirtatious. The guys and I all looked at each other before turning back to face them. "No." We all said at the same time, before turning away and completely ignoring them.

For my last two classes, Aria was in them both of them. But each time she came in unnoticed, and left the same way. I was waiting in the parking lot for the guys, since we were all going to mine to hang out. Looking around I saw Aria sitting at a picnic table, doing something on her laptop.

Hayden was the first one out, and he saw were I was looking.

"You've been here less than 24 hours and you already have your eyes on a girl. And not just any girl, the mystery girl."

"What? I do not." I said looking away from the girl and towards one of my best friends.

"Kyle told me how you have already asked about her." He smirked.

"So? She had peeked my interested for a moment." I shrugged.

"Uhuh." He didn't believe me.

"Come on let's go the guys are here now." I said when I saw Kyle and Wyatt heading towards our way.

I got on my bike and started it up. "I'll meet you guys at my house."

I saw them nodded before I took off towards my house.

[Few Hours Later]

The guys and I had been hanging out for a bit, when Wyatt and Kyle passed out. Turns out Kaylee had put a bit of a sleeping pill in both of their drinks. I gotta say, I'm kinda proud off her.

Ding-dong.

"I'll get it!" I heard my dad call from downstairs.

"Hey is there still some more coke?" Hayden asked.

"Yeah, come on."

When we got to the top of the staircase, I saw my dad open the door. Behind the door was someone who I never thought I'd see at my front door.

"Dude, is that..." Hayden started but trailed off.

"M.K. Aria? Yeah."
