Hey everyone!!! Sorry this took so long, highschool just started and I was like "WAAAAAHHH! I HAVE NO TIME TO WRITE!!!" but, I finally got around to it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Alex Rider or anything associated with it.
Three weeks into the new school year, and Alex was already as bored as hell. It had been almost a month since his and Yassen's 'adventure' together and life didn't seem as…fun anymore.
Jack never really mentioned the incident. In fact, she seemed to act like it had never happened in the first place. No matter how many times he had apologized, she remained unfazed and impartial towards the matter. And it bothered him.
Now, sitting at his desk in his room, Alex wondered what had happened after he had taken the quickest shower of his life and collapsed on his bed for the next 14 hours. Yassen was gone when he'd woken up, of course, and Jack was her usual self. K-unit was still MIA in Alex's book since they hadn't showed up to his house. MI6 was keep quite because they hadn't contacted him at all.
So Alex was bored. School was as boring as hell. Life was as boring as hell.
As much as Alex hated MI6 and the constant danger it put him in, he yearned for the adventure, the thrill of the chase. When the thought finally occurred to him a few days back, Alex was pleasantly surprised when he realized that he not only missed the skin prickling sensation of adrenaline pumping through his veins, he missed Yassen. It was strange at first, but now he fully realized that he wanted to be with the Russian. The time Alex had spent with him on the run had had a special feeling to it that the teen couldn't quite describe. Perhaps it was the history he had had with John Rider, his late father. Or maybe it was just the fact that they were practically in the same business.
Alex sighed regretfully, "Who knows what he's up to now…"
------------------The next day-----------------
Tom came up behind him and punched him on the shoulder, "Hey Alex! How're classes going for you? I haven't seen you all week, this school is so damn big!"
Slamming his locker shut and hefting his bag onto his shoulder, the Rider beamed at his long time friend, "It's great, pretty easy so far."
"Aw, you suck, man! How come you always get the easy teachers? Huh? I got stuck with Mr. Shinoni, he's such a…a…fag!"
"He's gay?" Alex intoned, eyebrow raised, a smirk on his face. "Something wrong with him being gay?"
Tom snorted, "Nothing wrong with gays, Shinoni is the problem. I swear he tried to grope Jake's ass the other day. Scaaary…he's definitely a pedophile."
"Whatever you say Tom, whatever you sa-" Alex stopped; his cell phone had just vibrated. Looking around and checking that no teachers were in the hall, he quickly pulled it out.
Tom leaned over his shoulder to see what was going on.
It was a text message, sent from 'anonymous'.
"Rdr: Cntct me. C," Tom read slowly. "What the hell…'anonymous'…sounds like Shinoni for sure." Alex's heart rate had sped up and he smiled, still staring at the screen of his portable phone like a dope. "What're you all happy about?"
Cheesy grin quickly fading, Alex snapped out of his thoughts, "Sorry, um…old friend. Got to go…!"
Rushing down the halls to the nearest bathroom, Alex walked blindly into a stall, slammed the door, and pulled the latch. Excitement was pulsing through his body and suddenly, life seemed to be worth living again.
C: What type of paint did you use? –AR
One could never be too careful, Alex had to make sure this was Yassen. And twenty seconds later, the mystery correspondent responded.
A: Fabric marker. Liquid. Permanent. Damn hard to get.
Alex smirked, it was him.
Yassen Gregorovich was back on the radar and showing up bright red.

This was just a teaser to see the kind of reaction I'm going to get.
