AN: Yes, this is the next chapter! Thank you for all the reviews I've received! Special shout-outs for all the people who did review, and thanks for encouraging me! I seriously thought I wouldn't get 1 review, so it's nice to get a multi amount! Also, another shout out for ObsessivelyOdd who asked to be my beta, which I'm very grateful for seeing how I wasn't even looking for one. So they are ultra amazing! Thanks!
I actually thought a good while about this chapter. I wanted it to be long, and not rushed, and have an odd twist. So, I put an aim for 2000 words. And I have no clue how many I've done. R&R and enjoy!
How to Teach a Spy's Class
Druggie Mates and Highness
"Alex Rider..."
"Rider..."
"Alex..."
A looming figure, swanked by many others, surrounded a small figure which lay on the ground in a tight ball. One of the figures – a woman – cackled while an old looking man stood next to her, leaning heavily on the cane which had a scorpion engraved into the silver handle. The man smiled devilishly at the hunched figure on the ground.
"You think you could outsmart us Rider? You think you could outsmart Scorpia? You, a stupid, foolish, 15 year old boy?!" The man shouted, and the figure flinched visibly. Then, all the figures began to kick him, and you could see some of the faces of dead enemies to the boy Alex Rider; Herod Sayle, Dr Grief, Conrad, Ms. Rothman, Major Yu, and many other horrifying faces which Alex Rider never wished to see again.
"Alex!"
"Alex..?"
"ALEX!"
Alex jerked out of his nightmare to his housekeeper's, Jack, voice. He was panting heavily, and had sheen of cold sweat on his forehead. He groaned as Jack sighed. She shook her head and walked over from the doorway to his bed, when Alex lay, staring into space.
"Alex! Snap out of it! You have school, remember?" She yelled into his ear, and that got his attention.
"What times is it?" He asked while jumping out of bed and heading over to his wardrobe where all his school uniform hung up. He grabbed a shirt, a pair of trousers and his blazer before heading back to his bed and laying the clothes down on it.
"Well, its 7, and your school called, saying all students must be there for 8, to discuss 'new management'. Whatever that means. Just be ready in 5, okay?"
10 minutes later sees Alex thumping down the stairs, yawning, and ready to eat. As soon as he enters the kitchen, he's sent to the side by an eager Jack, and then led to the table, on which lay a hearty breakfast of orange juice, pancakes and syrup.
"Oh, wow Jack. I never knew you could cook!" Alex teased, and Jack just glared. Just then, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it Alex. You just eat up." Jack demanded before heading towards the door at an alarming rate. Alex just ate in silence while waiting for Jack to return.
"Well, someone's eager for today." An all so familiar voice said in a teasing manner, and Alex's head snapped up. (1)
"Tom!" Alex exclaimed, before getting up and heading over to his best friend. "What brings you here so damn early?"
Tom grimaced. "My parents have been at it since 5. I couldn't get to sleep, so I figured I'd come over here. You're always so kind to me, and I was also wondering if I could eat here too... Hey, what's that smell?" Tom asked, not even pausing for breath, and he followed his nose to Alex's breakfast, which left a few pancakes on, and Tom licked his lips before eating the remaining of them.
"Hey!" Alex exclaimed, and Jack laughed as she entered the kitchen and saw no remains of the breakfast she cooked up.
"Right, boys. I presume you're ready? Because I've got to get you to school in twenty minutes!" Jack smiled, and Alex rolled his eyes.
"So much time already passed?" He asked, and Jack nodded, before bouncing off outside with Alex and Tom in tow.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Alex and Tom were at school and sitting in the back row of the assembly hall.
After Jack had taken them to school, they had 5 minutes to get into the hall and find seats. Everyone, including themselves, were now wondering why they had been called there so early in the morning. Alex was worried for some reason. Why would they suddenly be summoned to school so early? Alex's chain of thoughts ended when Tom, who was sitting next to him, poked him on the shoulder.
"Bray's onstage." He muttered and Alex nodded, before directing his attention to the stage where his head teacher, Mr Bray, stood, looking sheepish and afraid. All the other students continued talking, and that's when Alex noticed the unknown men by the side, all of them with added size on their torso. Alex frowned, and looked at the waist, where it was confirmed they had guns. His eyes widened and he turned to Tom, who was looking at Bray intently.
"Tom! Look at those men! Is there anything odd looking about them?" Alex whispered furiously. Tom looked towards the men, and he also noticed the odd size and bulges' at their hip.
"Who are they?" He asked Alex, in complete shock. Alex shrugged, and Bray called for attention.
"Excuse me!" He shouted, and all the babbling students shut up immediately. "Thank you. As you are all probably wondering why you have been called in early, I have an announcement to make. A threat has been made against our school," A few students gasped in horror at this, but Bray ploughed on. "And the men that are with us today are SAS and MI6. They are here to protect us and to do so, they have to teach," Several of the SAS men hissed or growled at this, not liking the fact that they had to teach some rowdy school kids. "But, I'll leave the rest for the MI6 agent to explain... So... um..." Mr Bray flinched, and walked to the side and off the stage shakily; he was nervous and also afraid of the SAS men. As he did so, a man with black hair and dark eyes walked onto the stage, and whispers came from every corner of the hall, mostly from the girls though.
"Oh my, he's so hawt!"
"Do you think he's single?"
"Do you think he's straight?"
Alex ignored these whispers, and turned to Tom, who looked excited.
"I know him; I've been on a mission with him." Alex stated, and Tom looked awed for a moment before realisation came over him.
"So, he's part of that unit you trained with? What if the rest of the unit are here?" Tom asked and Alex smirked.
"Then, we play pranks." And at those words, Tom grinned evilly.
"You're on. I want to see Wolf's face." And with that, the two of them cackled evilly.
"Attention!" The agent bellowed and all the whispers stopped abruptly. "Thank you. As Bray said, we are the SAS, and I'm a MI6 agent. We expect to be respected, and we also expect you to be on your best behaviour. My name is Ben Daniels, but you will call me Fox, as it is my SAS codename, and I am the head of this operation. Any problems with the soldiers and you come to me. Or if you can't find me, go to K-Unit, who are the deputies in this operation. Their names are Wolf, who is the leader of K-Unit," With that, a dark man with grey eyes and a short build came on stage, scowling. "Snake, the team medic." A thin framed man with fair hair went onto the stage, looking furious, yet trying to cover it up. He failed awfully. "Eagle, the arms man and idiot of the team—"
"Hey!" A brunette with blue eyes squeaked and everyone barring the SAS men laughed. "I'm not an idiot!"
"And finally Bear, who is my replacement after I was forwarded to MI6." A tall, buff figure with dark aura came onto the stage with a glare at everyone. "Is that clear everyone?"
Several choruses of 'yeah' came from several students; the rest just stayed silent. When suddenly, Tom did something stupid.
"I digress!" He yelled while standing up. Ben raised a single eyebrow while Alex tried not to laugh.
"Excuse me?" Wolf growled, and Tom grinned.
"I said, I digress! You must poop smarties out of your--!" Tom was cut off by an angry voice.
"Harris!" Mr Bray hissed at the boy, hoping that said boy back down, but far from it.
"Ass! Hahaha! I said ass!" Tom giggled, and Alex looked at his best like he was a maniac.
"Is he high or something?"
"He must be. After all, he hangs around Druggie Rider, doesn't he?"
"Yeah, Druggie Rider, and his Druggie friends all get high."
The whispers that emitted from the students made the SAS men frown and Alex and Tom laugh like idiots.
"Harris, and Rider, will you two stay behind after this assembly to discuss some certain matters?" Ben said, calmly. And before Tom could even answer, Alex snorted and said, without standing up,
"Hell no! I'm comfortable here, thank you! I have enough problems with my druggies and I deffo don't want anything to do with some clean peeps!" And that made Tom and even some of the other pupils who thought Alex weren't a drug addict. Ben looked confused for a moment before figuring it out and just muttered 'oh'.
"Just stay behind, clear?!" Wolf bellowed, and Tom laughed even more.
"Crystal, sir." Alex said and Wolf's eyes narrowed.
"Dismissed." Ben said quickly, and even quicker, the students dispersed from the hall, and from the 3 SAS men holding Wolf, trying to stop him from killing the two students which pissed him off. As soon as all the students had disappeared, the 3 holding Wolf back, let go, and Wolf shrugged, and glared at the door. Ben was grinning.
"Men, you just had a piece of Alex Rider and his best friend." He stated, and each of the men narrowed their eyes.
"The one that digressed?" Bear growled, and Ben chuckled.
"No way, that was his best friend. Alex was the one that went on about drugs. And the one that mentioned crystal."
"So what lessons are we teaching?"
"That felt amazing, Alex!"
Alex and Tom were sitting in their first class, which happened to be maths, and waited patiently for their teacher, or teachers. Tom was practically buzzing; irking the SAS men off was a high for him.
"I bet it did. Now we've got to worry about my identity. I bet they've been briefed about whom and what they are protecting us from, so I think they know my name..." Alex was cut off by a still hyper Tom.
"What about revenge? Play some hell-bent pranks on them?!" Tom giggled and grinned, and Alex was about to tell him off for being stupid but he stopped himself in time.
"Actually, that isn't such a bad idea... What do you think we should do first?"
Soon, they had dozens of ideas to make the SAS men's stay at Brooklands hell, like they made Alex's stay at Beacon Brecons complete torture.
"We haven't got a teacher for maths."
"It's 9 am now; they'll be here in a second."
And sure enough, the second that was said, the swung open and hit the wall harshly, and most of the class flinched. Except Alex and Tom of course, they just wanted to irk off their new maths teacher.
"Right, maggots, my name is Boar, and I'm your new maths teacher. This idiot next to me is Eagle, as you already know, and I'm in charge of keeping him calm. Understand?" 'Boar' grunted and the whole class nodded before the two SAS men went in; Boar sat at the desk while Eagle went to sit next to Tom. Alex smirked and Tom grinned as Boar began to take register. (2)
He finally got down to the 'H's and growled out Tom's name.
"Oh! I'm here, boring Boar! Did you like my little performance this morning? Alex and I are quite the trouble makers. Say, do you peaches?" Tom squeaked and Alex snorted while Eagle tried not to grin, and Boar tried not to explode. Both failed.
"HARRIS! SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Boar bellowed and Alex snorted again. Boar directed his attention to the teen spy.
"And what is your name, kiddo?" He snarled and Alex smirked before jumping out of his seat, crouching down on one knew, and bringing his hands up like a gun.
"The name's Rider... Alex Rider."
And after that, the whole class went into hysterics, Eagle just grinning, while Boar was red in the face. Eagle got up, and grabbed Alex by the upper arm, ignoring the teen's complaints.
"I'm take Harris and Rider to the rest of K-Unit, Boar. You boring imbecile." And before Boar could kill him, Eagle grabbed Tom's upper arm, and dragged both Alex and Tom out of the classroom and into the hall.
