Chapter 2: Triangle Flashbacks

"This is the new popcorn machine and that's the milkshake maker. Well, those are all the improvements!"

Everyone stared at Melissa in awe. It was rare for them to think this, but they actually had thought the wait was worthwhile. They definitely hadn't been sleeping at their own houses and putting up with their parents for nothing. They all seated themselves on the new couch that Moonbase had provided Melissa with.

As they were settling down to watch the newly bought big screen television, a loud sound erupted from the table. Harry dived at his phone, which was the source of the sound. He pressed a few buttons and let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing?" Truman asked. The others nodded to support his question.

"I was supposed to get a text message from dad, but luckily it wasn't him. It was only Anne-Marie, thank goodness," Harry replied.

Celeste scowled and sat up straight, now more alert. "Who's Anne-Marie?"

"She's my partner in drama for the Romeo and Juliet thing I told you about," Harry explained. "She was supposed to text me about when I could come over to her house to practice."

"You, of all people, doing homework?" Thomas laughed. "What is the world coming to?"

"FYI, Numbuh 80, the only reason I'm doing this homework is because me and Anne-Marie have the kissing scene." Harry stood up and placed his hands on his hips, giving Thomas a smug smile. "Plus, Anne-Marie is pretty cute. Now, if you don't mind, I have some practicing to do."

After the sound of Harry's running footsteps had died away, everyone turned to look at Celeste. The sector's spy had a frustrated expression, but behind that was a sad feeling anyone could see if they looked hard enough. She stared into space for a few seconds before coming back to Earth. She noticed all her friends watching her and stood up hastily.

"I-I'm going to my room." She ran in the direction of her private headquarters.

"Uh, Numbuh 52, how long do they have to rehearse this thing?" Kellie questioned, still staring in the direction Celeste ran off to.

Melissa sighed. "At least two months. Our drama teacher is generous and she wants us to have a lot of time to prepare. This goes to our reports…"

"Well that's just great, now we'll have to deal with a fussy little princess!" Thomas complained.

Kellie whacked him. "Don't speak about Numbuh 58 that way!"

"I was talking about Numbuh 361."

"Oh…"

"Rainbow Monkeys, Rainbow Monkeys, we love you!"

The situation was forgotten as Kellie squealed in delight as her favourite show came on. Thomas groaned and started complaining about the girly show. Melissa and Truman both rolled their eyes and stood up to sit on the couch to the side. They didn't want to be in the middle of the fighting.


The next day started off normally with the six operatives chatting together before school and at break times. Well, at least this was what it was like from first glance. Underneath was a small level of tension on Celeste's part. Harry didn't notice her awkward behaviour near him since he didn't see what happened after he left the previous day. The others did and were talking about what they saw as they sat at a table at lunch before Harry and Celeste came to join them.

"I saw it before school started," Melissa began as she recounted what she had seen.

"Yeah, and then she- Oh, hi, Numbuh 361." Melissa greeted. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Celeste hesitate before following suit.

"Hey, Numbuh 361."

"Hey, you two!" Harry didn't notice the change at all and carried on with his antics.

"Oh, this is what happened in math class." Everyone turned to Thomas.

"Okay class, hurry up and sit down."

Thomas walked in the door to find Celeste and Harry already there. Harry was sitting down at a desk with a spare seat next to him. Celeste normally sat next to him in math if Thomas didn't beat her to class. Instead, she sat next to Josie who was a brunette in their class. Thomas was surprised as he took his seat next to Harry.

"That sucks," Kellie remarked. "I figured it out in history."

"You are going to pair up for this assignment. Please choose your partners now."

Everyone moved around the room looking for their history victim. Celeste was looking around before being tapped on the shoulder. She turned around to see Harry beaming at her.

"Do you want to be my partner?" Harry asked.

"Um… I was going to partner up with Numbuh 43. Maybe next time…" Celeste turned and power walked to Kellie's desk.

Kellie's brow furrowed as she observed her two friends. When Celeste asked to pair up with her, she didn't say no, but she was still worried.

"Well, this is what happened at second recess," Truman started.

Truman was playing handball in the quadrangle with Harry. Second recess didn't go for very long, lasting only five minutes. They didn't want to find their next class earlier than needed, so they decided to pass the time. After a minute of playing, they saw Celeste walking past.

"Hey, Numbuh 58, want to play?" Harry questioned.

"Uh, no thanks, I have to be early for science today," Celeste answered.

Truman made slight eye contact with her before she dashed to one of the openings that had stairs that lead students to the second floor. Her expression had seemed as if she was apologizing to Truman. He contemplated this before figuring out what had happened.

"I don't see the big deal," Thomas commented. "It's just a play."

Truman smirked. "Remember last year when you-"

"Okay! We don't need to go through that again!" Thomas interrupted, his face as red as a tomato.

"There's one thing that gets to me though…" Melissa took a bite of her sandwich. "Normally something as small as this wouldn't affect Numbuh 58. Something else must have happened to make her avoid Numbuh 361."

Kellie's eyes darted away from Melissa to the other side of the cafeteria. "You might want to be quiet now, Numbuh 58 is coming."

"When she comes over here, change the subject," Melissa ordered.

"Hey, guys," Celeste addressed.

"Hey, have you seen Numbuh 361?" Thomas inquired. Melissa gave him a glare, to which he shrugged in response.

Celeste took no notice as she scanned the cafeteria. Her face fell as she spotted him. "He's over there with… Who is that?"

The others all leaned so they could see their leader. Only Melissa knew who the girl was and sighed. She wasn't very willing to tell Celeste who she was because it may have caused more strife. However, she knew she had to.

"That's Anne-Marie," Melissa finally replied. She cringed as Celeste's face fell even more.

"Oh, okay." Celeste sat down without saying another word for the rest of lunch.


Okay, since I live in Australia and all, I don't know how different my school is compared to other countries. I'm just going with what I know.
