Ok I'm back! Here's ch 2 of protecting time! Enjoy!
KC woke up at the crack of dawn, hearing the sounds of alarm clocks and car horns, and people who were on their way to work, school, etc. Now, normally she wouldn't wake up this early, but today was the start of her exciting, new, long term mission. She couldn't be late! So she threw off the covers, grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom to grab a shower. After she had showered and dried her hair, she put on a pair of blue jeans, a white shirt with a black number 65 on it, and a red plaid shirt tied around her waist. Then she brushed and curled her hair, grabbed her keycard to her room that she was given when she checked in last night, and went downstairs to the hotel dining room for breakfast. After a hearty breakfast of fruit loops cereal, cheese whiz toast, and apple juice, she hurried back upstairs to her room, unlocked the door with her keycard, and went to the bathroom to finish getting ready for school, and her mission. She brushed her teeth and did her makeup, then she grabbed her backpack, her keycard, and a map of Portland, which she examined.
"Ok, so I'm here, and the school is here. So to get to the school from here, the shortest route is this one, so that's the one I will take." KC explained to herself out loud, as she put her keycard and the map in her backpack. The hotel room door automatically locked behind KC as she headed towards the elevator. When she reached the main floor, she waved at the receptionist as she walked by, and the doorman opened the door for her and waved goodbye as she left the building, where another taxi was waiting for her. She got in the back and closed the door.
KCs POV
"West Portland High School please." I told the driver, who was a woman this time.
"No problem!" She stated as we started driving to the school. After about 10 minutes, we pulled into the parking lot of my new school, at least for now.
"Here we are!" the driver informed.
"Thank you very much!" I told the driver as I tipped her with $5. I shut the door to the cab and the driver drove off. I turned around and looked at the school. It was huge! The outside of the building was a beige colour, and it had stairs that led up to a balcony that went almost all the way around the school, and it had an outdoor eating area with blue and purple umbrellas over each table, which was behind a small hedge and raised up above the WEST PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL sign, which was across from a beautiful flower bed.
"Wow!" Was all I could say. I found my way to the main entrance, where I found a sign directing me to the main office. Right! I had to go to the main office and register myself as a student, here at WPHS and get my locker assignment and class schedule before I could start looking for those girls I need to protect. I found my way there and knocked on the door before walking in. The secretary was there, and she beckoned me over to her.
"Hello. How can I help you?" She asked.
"Hi, I'm a new student here, and I wanted to register and get my locker assignment and class schedule?" I informed her, although it sounded more like a question than a statement.
"Yes. What's your name?" the secretary asked
"My name is K.C… Uh, I mean Rocky. Rocky Blue." I introduced myself, but I almost messed up!
"Good going K.C! It's only the first day of your mission and you almost slipped up by nearly revealing your real name already! Keep it together!" I thought to myself.
"What year are you in?" She needed to know.
"I'm a freshman. Freshwoman actually. Haha!" I joked. But I'm actually a sophomore, but I needed to be a freshman for my mission since my assignments are freshmen.
"Okay." She typed something in on the computer, then wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to me.
"This is your locker number and combination, and I will print out your class schedule while the principal meets you." She informed.
"Okay, thanks." I said as I knocked on the door to the principal's office.
"Come in!" I heard a male voice say. I opened the door to see a middle aged man sitting at his desk.
"Hello, my name is Rocky Blue. I'm a new student here." I introduced myself.
"Hello, Miss Blue. I am Mr. Doyle, which is what you may call me. That or 'sir'. I am the principal here at West Portland High School. I am also the Science and Driver's Ed teacher, which you will be in." He told K.C.
"So you just transferred here?" He asked her.
"Yes sir, from Hamilton High in Washington, DC." I told him. At least I was allowed to tell people where I'm actually from, instead of having to lie about where I'm from, like I had to lie about my name, what year of high school I'm currently in, and why I was actually here to everyone except for my new mission assignments. Mr. Doyle typed something in on his computer.
"Okay, well it says here that you are a straight A student, and you have a squeaky clean record, um, except once when you pulled on a teacher's mustache." He reminded. I nodded sheepishly. It only happened because I was still new at being a spy and I thought the teacher was an enemy agent trying to capture me. Turns out I was just being paranoid.
"Please don't let that happen here." Mr. Doyle warned.
"That's a long story, but I promise I won't let that happen here." I assured.
"Good. Now Ms. Grushaw the secretary will have your class schedule and locker assignment ready for you. You can pick those up on your way out. Thank-you and nice to meet you Ms. Blue!" Mr. Doyle dismissed.
"Thanks! You too sir!" I said as I walked out of the room. Ms. Grushaw handed me my schedule and locker assignment, then I was free to continue on with the next part of my mission, finding those girls. There was a basket full of maps of the school mounted on the wall just outside the office. How convenient, I could use one of those for the first day. I took one and opened it. Then I looked at her class schedule to see what my first class of the day was. It was Drivers Ed, then math, then art. That's not too bad for the first morning at my new school. However, I still have 10 minutes before I have to go to class, so I found my way to my new locker, which was number 298, put in my new combination, which I put in my wallet afterwards, just in case. When I opened my locker, all the textbooks that I needed for each class was already there, neatly stacked! That's very helpful, since I like to be organized and neat. I took everything except for whatever I needed for the first two classes out of my backpack and put it in my locker. I will personalize my locker later, I have more important business to attend to. I found the girls washroom, went in, and took out my phone and dialed home. It rang three times before I heard a familiar voice on the other end.
Normal- K.C
Italicized- Whoever is on the other end of the phone conversation
"Hello?"
"Judy! It's K.C! Where's mom? Or dad?"
"K.C! Your mom is right here and your dad is gone to a meeting with the Organization. How's the mission going?"
"The mission is going well, can you put mom on please?"
" Sure. Agent Kira! It's for you! She's coming."
"Okay."
"Hello?"
"Hi mom!"
"Hi K.C honey, how are you today? How's the mission?"
"I'm good. The mission is going well, I've successfully enrolled myself in West Portland High School, but I have yet to find those two girls. How are you and everyone else? Have you figured out what to tell Marissa yet?"
"Myself and the rest of the family are fine. And we told Marissa that you are visiting your cousins in Canada for a while, and for her not to worry if she doesn't hear from you for awhile. You need to find those girls!"
"I know, I will. Okay, tell everyone I said hi! I love you! Tell them that too!"
"I will! Love you too sweetie! Bye!
"Bye!" With that, I hit the "End call" button on the my phone screen, and left the washroom. Off to homeroom, which took me a few minutes to find, but I found it just as the bell rang. Now I have to find Drivers Ed, which turned out to be right next door to my homeroom. Okay! I walked into the classroom and took the last empty seat. I looked around at my fellow classmates. I noticed two boys practising with the driving simulator. Is that what we're supposed to be doing?
"Ugh! This driving simulator is so stressful! There's some speed demon behind me who won't stop riding my bumper!" I heard the boy in the blue hoodie and brown pants say.
"You think you've got problems? I've got some old lady in front of me that won't let me go by." The other boy in the patterned shirt and brown hat. Then they looked at each other's screens, and realized that they were the cause of each other's 'problems'.
"Ahh!" They both said at the same time.
"Speed demon!" The first boy said.
"Old lady!" The other boy replied. Then the teacher walked in.
Time skip-Lunchtime
The bell rang out and class was dismissed. I headed to my locker to put my stuff away, then found my way to the cafeteria, where I purchased a veggie burger, caesar salad, and fruit juice for my lunch, since I am a vegetarian. In the commons, I looked around. Then I saw them! I had to look at the picture the Organization gave me to make sure. Yep, it's definitely them! The girls! My mission assignments! Finally! I started walking over to them until I realized that they were sitting with the two boys I saw earlier. They looked like they were just friends. I continued on over to them.
"Hi, I'm Rocky Blue. I'm new here at this school. Can I sit here?" I asked.
"Sure." The blonde haired girl replied. I sat down.
"Hi, I'm Shelby." She introduced herself.
"Hey, I'm Cyd." The other girl, the brunette one introduced.
"Hello, my name is Barry." The boy in the blue hoodie from earlier introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Naldo!" The other boy in the hat introduced himself as well.
"Weren't you in our Drivers Ed class earlier?" Barry asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"Cool!" Barry responded.
"Me and Shelby are in that class too, but today we missed it because we were a little…" Cyd looked at Shelby.
"Late." She finished.
"Oh, okay cool." I replied.
"So Rocky, where did you move here from?" Shelby wondered.
"Washington, DC. I transferred from Hamilton High. But right now I am staying at a hotel because my family is stuck in Washington for awhile." I informed them, but at least it was true!
"Yeah, I know the how you feel." Cyd replied.
"What do you mean?" I wondered.
"My parents are in Peru for about 3 years on an archeological dig. So I'm staying with Shelby and her family for this time, because she is my best friend." Cyd explained.
"Really?" I responded.
"Yeah." Well at least I'm not the only one who's away from my family at the moment, but at least I get to go visit mine on the weekends. Barry and Naldo stood up.
"We gotta go now, but it's nice to meet you Rocky! See you in class!" Barry exclaimed.
"See you guys later!" Shelby called out. Great, Barry and Naldo are gone, so they can't hear us now. I guess it's now or never.
"So listen, Cyd, Shelby, my name isn't really Rocky Blue, it's K.C Cooper. And although it's true that I transferred here from Hamilton High in Washington, DC, and that my family is still there, that's not the entire reason I'm here." I started.
"So...Why are you here?" Shelby asked curiously.
"I'm here...to protect you." I went straight to the point.
What did you think? Tell me in the reviews, but no flamers. Please follow/favorite! I don't know when exactly I will be able to write chapter 3, with my other stories and finals coming up in a couple of weeks and all, plus I will probably be working this summer, but it will be up eventually! Just bear with me! Thanks!
