Now is not the time.

"I am a little busy right now, can we cancel the class for today?" I said in a small voice.

He already hated me probably after what I said in the morning.

"What are you busy with right now?" He asked in a serious tone.

Since when was he so meddlesome.

"Um...Music Fest thing." I said trying not to sound like a fool.

"It's more important than you passing the test?" His eyes narrowed at me.

I thought for a moment, at what I was doing. Was it more important than my studies at the moment, more important than making my parents proud?

"Yes," I answered his question and questions in my head.

He sighed shaking his head.

"I am not teaching you anymore then." 

I was not surprised at his words because after my rebuttal this morning I expected that but as he said it, his words hurt.

I was short on time so I couldn't argue or plead for my case.

"This is not over," I said not agreeing to failure and then ran to complete my mission impossible.

I swear I suck at this being a robber thing. If I fail as a student I can't make a career as a thief. I was in panic mode and I couldn't really concentrate and creating more mess than needed.

But everything felt worthwhile when I opened the drawer on his desk which I unlocked with my talent of using pins as keys. The mobile was there and all I needed was to transfer his data to my phone using Bluetooth.

I was feeling adrenaline and pride rush through me as I grabbed the phone and then all hopes came crashing down as I realized it was locked. Nelson coughed outside and I realized he must have seen Nicholas through the window in the corridor. He was coughing too loudly and in an overdramatic manner.

In a split second, I made a decision, I had to take the phone with me and rushed outside.

"Let's go." And Nelson followed looking like he was going to pass out.

I called Ashton as soon as the work was done.

"Where are you?" He asked sounding a little thrilled.

"Let's meet on the basketball field, that is empty right now."

I was feeling even more nervous than I did before. I was holding the phone in my hand.

A few minutes later, Ashton came running looking both worried and happy at the same time.

"We got the phone." Nelson dropped the bomb just like that.

"WHAT?"

"You were supposed to get the photos!" He yelled.

"Dumbass the phone is locked and I panicked." I defended my grave mistake.

"Just dump it somewhere and think of some other plan." Nelson was freaking out.

"But that is mission failure," Ashton said sounding agitated.

"What else can we do?"

"He will soon report it missing." Nelson was pacing and it was not doing us any good.
