"I'm coming for you and I am bringing a few of my friends." Her voice threatened as the hologram of the young blonde woman faded out. The Umbrella council sat there, in feared silence. The chairman adjusted the dark lenses upon his nose as he gave a slight shake to his chin. "We need to commence the Oppressor project." His words were calm, but they were final. "B-but sir, that project has not been successful in the past couple of years, we cannot put it into operation." One of the councilmen argued. It was a simple look, one of gripping fear that silenced the one who had disagreed. "Commence the project." There was intimidation in the still voice. The pale faces quivered, as they all knew that there wasn't any escaping this decision. A finger pressed down the speakerphone button. "Dr. Cain, bring the Oppressor Project into initiation, but wait for proper instruction."
"You need to take care of yourself and remain healthy." Mr. Pierceton said adjusting the thick bifocals upon his hooked nose. Alice held her chin into one palm, trying to remain awake; Mr. Pierceton had a habit of preparing long lectures on meaningless crap before getting onto the actual subject 'Lab Bio'. She hated most about his class was that no one chose to sit next to her, the unfair punishment for nothing. She started to doze off when a voice interrupted her slow edge to slumber. "What's your name?" his voice said softly, and low, at first Alice thought she was just dreaming again, but when her blue hues looked over the face of a boy appeared. His face was thin, with a square jaw, tender lips and housed the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, like ice shining in the sun's light. She gave a small smile, for he wasn't just anyone, she had butterflies for him, even though she had just met him. He waved his head so strands of dark hair flipped away from his eyes.
"Alice, Alice Abernathy." She said with confidence. He held out a wide palm to her and she took it to shake hands. "Blake, Cole Blake." He said in a James Bonde manner. She laughed at his antics as warmth surged up her arm and fuzzed her heart, but it stopped when he let go. "Lab Bio, especially with Mr. Pierceton sucks doesn't it?" he whispered low so the teacher wouldn't hear him. Alice gave a nod in agreement as her blue eyes stared at him. His tender lips curved perfectly into a handsome toothy grin. "Tell you what, this is last period, so tomorrow skip with me." Alice was never one to break the rules, she always did what was told to her by a responsible adult, but Cole was the first to start the reign of Alice's rebellion. She gave another nod and his eyes shined out to her.
After the tenth period bell rang Alice walked to the corner of the hallway, and waited for him. The crowd opened up as he squeezed through the public. "C'mon." he said taking her head and leading her away from Mr. Pierceton's class. She stopped him as he tried to head for the door. "Wait." She said looking at him turn to her. "What?" he asked politely. "I am afraid." She murmured. Cole gave a smile. "Don't worry, everything will be fine, I promise." She might have met him yesterday, but she trusted him with all of her heart. They walked under the school sign and out the doors of Raccoon City High.
