“What kind of information do you want?” I glared helplessly at her.

“Anything you can give me,” I replied smoothly. “Schedules, mission timelines, makes of none associates…”

“Fine, whatever.” I snarked, growing rather grumpy about the situation.

(Good night, sleep well!)

“Great.” Flashing a grin, I pushed past him and out into the courtyard.

I groaned quietly, muttering curses under my breath. After this there was no way I was dealing with a detention. I just couldn’t. So I silently trailed after Marina, keeping my distance.

(Morning!)

(G’morning, how’re you?)

I cast him an amused look over my shoulder. “Are you just going to follow me the whole way home?”

(Tired, but doing okay. I love Marina so much XD)

“I have to go the same way.” I snapped in reply, agitated by the situation. “Wouldn’t be near you if I didn’t have to be.”

(Thanks :)
I love Mercutio!)

Marina snorted. “You live on the opposite side of the school from me, smart one. If you’re hoping to figure out where I have your phone, you’re wasting your time.”

“Please just give it back. Just… take the battery out or something.” I grumbled, still trailing after her.

(Lol Thanks! How’re you today?)

(T i r e d
Lol)

“Nah, don’t feel like it,” I answered without missing a beat. “And it’s fun to watch you get so anxious about this.”

“I’ll tell Rafael you stole my phone.” I threatened, glaring at Marina. I wasn’t actually going to. I’d get in way too much trouble, but it was worth a try.

"Bullshit," I laughed, pushing back my hair. "You're a liar, Mercutio."

“Try me.” I shot back, glowering at her. “I’ll do it. Rafael will raise hell when he hears you want information. You’ll be dead in a week tops.”

"And you still won't have your phone back~"

The key was not to show weakness. If I could convince him of how assured I was and call his bluff, he'd be absolutely powerless. Then, I'd strike.

I let out a groan of frustration. “Can I at least see it?” I asked out of sheer exhaustion.

"No, I'm not stupid." Raising my eyebrow, I stopped next to a large tree just off school property. "Then you'd know where I have it."

“Bring it in to school tomorrow. Let me see it.” I insisted, slowing to a stop. I added a begrudging “Please?” afterwards.

"Why should I?" I leaned against the trunk of the tree, soaking up the cool shade. "You'll just try to grab it and run."

“Take a picture of it and show it to me then! I need proof it’s okay.” I paced back and forth like a caged animal, too anxious to stand still.

I gave a playful, purposely infuriating little shrug. "I'll think about it."

“I know what you’re doing, Capulet! I’m not going to let you get in my head.” I snarled, taking a threatening step towards her.

"What're you going to do?" I taunted, reaching forward to give his nose a sharp flick. "Lay a hand on me, and you'll never see your phone again."

I tensed up as Marina flicked my nose, taunting me. I let out a frustrated growl of sorts, halting as I looked over her with a scowl. “I hate you.”

I grinned and flicked it again. "The feeling is mutual."

“You’re pushing your luck.” I sneered, both my fists clenched. Every muscle in my body was taught and ready to spring into a fight. “You’re nothing but a coward.”

"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow, leaning forward until we were nearly nose-to-nose. "How so?"

“You’re lording this over me because you’re scared to fight me.” My voice got quieter as she minimized the distance between us.

“Nope.” I flashed a teasing grin. “It’s just fun.”

“Then fight me. Right here. Right now.” I closed the distance between us, pressing my forehead against hers as I spoke.
