Paper cut

Jack Starbright hummed to herself happily. It was a beautiful day. The birds were singing the sun was shining; she had nothing to do but read her favourite book all day. She was totally content. Why? Because she knew where Alex was. He was sitting at a desk at school learning about the Second World War. He was nowhere near a terrorist organisation, he wasn't in the middle of a drug bust, he wasn't floating in space or scuba diving with a shark.

He was sitting in a chair. There was no way he could hurt himself. Yes, Jack Starbright was very content.


Two kilometres away, sitting in a seat in a dim history classroom Alex Rider swore silently and brought his hand up to his face… he had just given himself a paper cut.


AN: did anyone actually get this one shot? I don't know what I was thinking. It just popped into my head at around 4 in the morning. Anyway, feel free to review even if it is just to yell at me. Is this even any good or should I just delete it? Anywho… review!
