    Las Tres Rosas. A small coastal town in mid state California. There's not much to the town, except for the fact it's home to the Catholic boarding school: Santa Maria high school. Students from all over the country attended and grew in their knowledge and faith. At least that's what brochure said. If you were to go there, you would see that it was almost as bad as a public high school. Its reputation was correct since their academics were their strong point, but the students were still teenagers and didn't mind dipping into the forbidden. Sex, drugs, drinking, just anything that meant breaking the rules.


    It was a cold November Friday night and Santa Maria was playing a big football game against one of their other rivals and almost all of the school's population was in attendance. All, but one. A young man sat outside the stadium hating the enjoyment everyone had and was smoking outside trying to ignore everyone. That man was Augustus Hernandez, one of the school's biggest mysteries.

    Shivering in the cold night, the good girl made her way towards the stadium. This was the schools good girl, Gracie. She slowly arrived pulling her coat tight around her as her eyes fell on Augustus Hernandez. She bit her lip eyeing him. She had a few classes with him but guessed he didn't recognize her. She was hoping to find a story.

    Augustus didn't pay her mind for a moment before his gaze noticed her walk passed him. He vaguely recognized her from classes, but it wasn't the best. "Well if it isn't miss goody goody"

    Gracie let out a soft squeak as he stopped her to taunt her. She raised a brow and trembled slightly not sure what to do. "Umm..... Yeah... Am.I not allowed to pas here?" She asked shyly. She remebred him from classes as she had to sit next to him.in most of them. The good girl anxiously fidgeted with the polaroid camera and other digital camera around her neck

    "I would like it if you didn't pass in front of me, but since you're probably on your way to the game, I can let it slide" Augustus said said blowing smoke in her face. He noticed her camera. "Are you reporting?"

    Gracie bit her lip looking away into the distance shyly looking anywhere but him. She frowned slightly before turning to listen to his words. "Yeah.... Uhhhh...maybe there's something worth reporting or writing here." She explained slightly waiting for him to move out of the way. She didn't want to ask him to move because to be honest she was terrified to him.

    "Oh of course, because the school needs to hear about another football game that we somehow always manage to win" Augustus said sarcasticly. He got up from his spot tossing his cig at her feet. "I'll see you around miss goody goody"

    "See you..." Gracie murmured softly, slowly moving past him making sure she didn't touch him so he wouldn't say or do anything to her. She bit her lip getting in and snapping pictures of the game. She huffed seeing they weren't turning our very good and she didn't have much muse for a report of the game. She had something else in mind. someone else

    Augustus glanced back at her for a moment before turned away and walking to his dorm. It was empty as he expected. That was fine by him. He got dressed for bed and glanced down at his arms at the burn scars decorating his chest, arms and his neck. He turned away knowing if he stared too long he would think of the past for too long. He didn't need that. His mind wandered to the girl wondering if she got her story

    Gracie huffed slightly annoyed with herself that she didn't get a story. She sighed making her way back to her dorm, passing his in the progress. She bit her lip seeing his sillohute in the room. She sighed. Why was she thinking of him? Why did she always want to know more about him? Why did she want him?

    Augustus noticed her walk by and couldn't help, but stare. She did seem to get in his mind and he couldn't get why. He covered up his chest and slowly opened his door to see her. "Why aren't you at the game?"

    Gracie stopped in her tracks, eyes wide in shock as her emotions finally registered across her face. She blushed as he questions her and shyly ran an hand through her hair. "Ummm... No. It wasn't any good... There wasn't anything to report." She explains with a soft sigh.

    Augustus listened for the moment gave her a short nod. The moment felt awkward. "You want to come inside? They don't like students in the halls after dark" he reminded. They also didn't like girls in boys dorms, but they had given up when it came to Augustus

    Gracie was about to protest snd tell him she better be going home but she felt the icy air send shivers down her spine. She blushed there as she stood awkwardly biting her lip. She finally gave in. "Sure... Its cold out here and anything could happen in these halls..." She hummed s little frigthenrd.

    Augustus dragged her inside the room and wasn't sure what to do with her. The dorm rooms didn't have much. A book shelf was the only thing with real entertainment. "You can read if you want"

    Gracie bit her lip letting him drag her in. She didn't even try to fight back. "Umm... Maybe I could... Don't er have a science project to do? Maybe I could do that for us considering your supposed to be my partner anyway..." She says softly fidgeting with her hair.

    "A project about genes? In think we had to like show how people evolve and how different we all are but how similar we are." Gracie admits hiring her lip. "Its fine if you dont want ton though..."

    "Well yeah... But we have to do the similarites and differences too..." Gracie explains shyly looking down. She gives him a sheepish half smile. "So... Do you have any plans or? Maybe I could take pictures of these fesutures using a camera or something..."
