Skinn? No... Maybe she heard wrong, she turned to the guy who answered. Had she seen him before? She was in a combined class, art, sciences and commercial too,so there was a huge probability she hadn't seen him before. Skinn... The name rang in her mind continuously, she turned to look at him again as he answered the question Mr Miller asked. He seemed.....different.... C'mon Velvet, it couldn't be possible he was a Skinn right? ,her mind was processing so many things at a time. A skinn? The name rang in her mind repeatedly, calm down Velvet... She turned again and that was when she noticed he was sitting beside her sister, woah! This was getting more weird. She turned to face the lecturer and tried concentrating but couldn't. Thankfully, almost immediately the bell went off and the students stood up, Mr Miller left and before she could rethink, she stood up and rushed to her sister before 'they' left the hall.

"Alexia " she called out, Alexia turned back, her face irritated. Velvet watched the 'Skinn'guy walk out of the hall leaving Alexia. Damn! She wanted the guy to be with Alexia. She finally caught up with her sister.

"What? " Alexia asked, obviously furious... Maybe at the fact that the guy left.... Velvet rolled her eyes, forgetting that she had called Alexia herself.

"Oops... He left... A new boyfriend? " Velvet asked... Trying to find out more about the 'Skinn' guy without sounding desperate.

"Why did you call me? " Alexia snapped. Keep calm Velvet, you need to know about that guy.

"Would you like lunch? "

Way to go Velvet. Lunch? Alexia furrowed her eyebrows and folded her arms. They were the only ones in the hallway.

"Seriously Velvet... That's why you called me? " Alexia scoffed.

"Who's that guy? " Velvet added,already loosing patience.

"Not your business Velvet, you know what?, let me be, I have other important things to do " Alexis said and walked away before Velvet could say any other word. Velvet huffed and rolled her eyes. Shit! She's gonna have to do a lot of research, what the fuck is happening?

"Millions of people answering that name Velvet" Jace said dryly... He was sitting on the couch in Velvet's room.

"I know but I just have this strange feeling Jace... What if..."

"Why don't you.... "

"Don't you dare tell me what I think you want to say" Velvet cut him off sharply and he raised his hands up in surrender.

"Calm down okay? "

Velvet breathed out and grabbed her laptop.

"You're supposed to support me... As my best friend " She put on the laptop.

"Yeah... And I am"

"Come closer, let's think this through " Velvet said and shifted on the bed.

Jace stood up and walked to the bed then laid on it.

"What have you got? "Jace asked grabbing a paper and a pen.

"Okay, so from what am I already know, the Skinn is made up of father, mother,of course and...3 boys " Velvet explained while Jace scribbled down.

"As we both know, Jeremy Skinn...the eldest, Josh Skinn, second and Jake Skinn, the last" she muttered the last name in detest. Jace reached out to calm her down. She breathed out then continued.

"What if there are only 3 boys? " Jace asked. Velvet shook her head.

"No Jace, they always spoke of a fourth party and I need to find him... Or her, I needs to know every single one of their family" Velvet said and opened a browser, she clicked on the search engine and typed in "Skinn"and pictures uploaded almost immediately but unfortunately a fourth guy wasn't there. She scoffed and scrolled down still hoping to see...

"There's nothing here" Jace said dryly.

"We can't give up Jace.... This is my life we're talking about... These guys... " she started but stopped immediately.

"I understand... " he pulled her to himself when she broke down.

"These people... " she started again but he shushed her.

"We're in this together okay?, I'm gonna nap out a plan" he assured her, tears poured like a down fall from her eyes as she remembered the... She hugged Jace more tight as she shut her mind from rethinking. Damn! She hated being a cry baby, she released from the hug and wiped off her tears. She wouldn't sit on her bed and sulk all day instead, she would find a way to be satisfied with herself even if it means doing the worst.

"You okay? " Jace asked as she sniffed, the tears drying from her skin.

"I'll be more okay if I know the fourth child of the Skinn, he seems like the way out... or she, my mind is messed up Jace " Velvet said and ruffled her air rigorously.

"I have an idea " Jace spat out and all her attention turned to him immediately.

"An idea? " she squinted her eyes. Jace always had ideas that would piss her off.

"Yeah... " He said

She furrowed her eyebrows.

"I'm listening Jace"

He breathed out harshly.

"Why don't you tell your mom about this whole... " he didn't finish his statement when Velvet cut him off sharply.

"My dad? " Velvet snapped.

"I.. What if... " Jace stuttered. He knew how Velvet was when she was furious.

"You don't even know these people Jace.... I know them more than anyone in my family or around me... Involving my parents into this is not an option, these people are filthy rich... Even if we file a case, we can't win, it's almost impossible, they'll eventually run us down, involving my parents is a no no Jace" Velvet explained exasperatedly. Jace wasn't getting it, she was the only one who knew what she was saying. She knew the Skinn family just that she needed more information...
