Everyone started getting up and walking out of the room. We were walking down the long corridor. We were stopped by an annoying voice right before reaching the elevator.
"So is there really a mission that the 3 Musketeers cant handle, that the need our help with?",smirked Jeremy as he and his posse stepped in front o the elevator doors. Jeremy, Brad, Tony, Madison and Page were exactly like the type of people you would want to cast for Mean Girls II. Jeremy, Brad and Tony were the typical jocks. Madison and Page looked like Barbie dolls. Both blond, tall, wore too much make up and altered uniforms. From the looks on their faces, they were looking for a fight. But we were not going to give it to them.
"Yup, guess that finally makes you guys the best now," I said dryly.
"No wait a minute now, that is not true, didn't you hear?" Zach interjected as he stepped up to my left side. "They will have to beat Grant, Jonas and me first." Carson now stood at my right, Lizbeth was slightly behind him with Cammie, Bex and Macy. Grant and Jonas were to the left of Zach. Intimidating the Jeremies was always fun.
"Really, well then," I said approvingly, "guess you guys were working hard while I was away"
Come on, let's get to class", Cammie said pushing to the front, grabs Zach's hand and starts walking into the elevator.
"So how was your trip?" Grant asked us, but was specifically asking Carson. We all knew he wanted to know how much and what Carson got on this trip.
"We heard you guys couldn't complete the mission", Cammie said "Stupid Madison and Page were very excited to tell you everyone about how you guys failed."
"They can brag all they want, the complication was unexpected and could not be overcome." said Lizbeth. The best thing about having spies for friends is that no one pries for information.
The elevator door slid open. The hall was bustling with students. We said our murmured good byes and went our separate ways. Zack, Cammie, Grant, Bex and I all headed toward the barn for P.E. Lizbeth, Carson and everyone else headed off to advanced bio. Carson draped his arm over Lizbeth's shoulders. This simple movement would have made Zack or Grant want to kick Carson's ass. I knew there was no reason for me to worry. Carson and Lizbeth were closer than most siblings. Since the death of Lizbeth's parents, she lives with Carson over the summer in this giant castle-like house near the Jersey shore. Jersey is the only place, for some reason Carson's dad felt safe.
We walked to the barn and the instructor barked out his order to pair up. Grant turned to me. "Sorry, I have some pent up aggression and I am going to beat of Jeremy… Brad is all yours", I said with a smile. The smile that Lizbeth says whenever it crosses my face means that I am up to no good… She loves that smile.
"I'm in" said Grant with a smirk to match.
We walked over to Jeremy and Brad.
"What do you want", Brad asked.
"Let's see what you got" I said. I could see a small flash of panic in his eyes. He knew he didn't stand a chance against Grant who was as big as a mountain.
"Now, your partner is your teammate, today and for the rest of the week, we are going to be working on fighting with multiple assailants. This drill is to see how you and your teammate will work together to win." said our instructor Mr. Wells.
Grant and I flashed each other triumphant smiles. This would work out perfectly. Too bad Carson wasn't in this class; we would kill, not that Grant and I weren't going to anyway.
"So," yelled Mr. Wells, "who wants to go first?"
"We will," yelled Jeremy
"Great, who wants to be the attackers?" Wells asked.
"Oh, we are all over that" said Grant in his booming voice.
"Well ok, can we have another pair?" Wells asked looking at me with a worried glance. I don't know why he is so worried, I am not going to kill anyone. Zack and Cammie stepped up next to us. Brad looked slightly scared while Jeremy looked as cool as a cucumber. What the hell does that phrase even mean, my mind wandered… Crap, I thought, Lizbeth's craziness is rubbing off on me. I snapped my focus back to the mission at hand.
All right, you four will have 2 minutes to think of a plan to face your opponent. Mr. Spenser and Mr. Cooper, you will not be able to speak until the assault has started," said Mr. Wells, looking at his watch. "Attackers, your time starts now."
Cammie piped up first "Let's go straight for Jeremy. He can't take all of us, that will leave Brad stunned."
"No, go straight for Brad, he definitely can't handle two of us, much less all of us," said Zack.
"Get Brad out of the way, then Jer will have to take us all on alone," Grand agreed. They all looked at me.
"Let's do it," I said, "Cam, Grant go around the other side." They both nodded putting on their game faces.
Let the games begin. All the other students in the class had moved to the walls or rafters leaving the middle of the large barn open with Jeremy and Brad standing back to back in the middle.
"Zack, Cam, other side" I ordered. Zack and Cam took off to the other side of the barn. Both Jeremy and Brad prepared for the attack, keeping all of us in their line of sight, never turning their backs on us.
"Cam, want to do the honors?" I yelled over to her. She nodded and ran full speed toward Brad. Grant got ready to run also. Brad turned to face Cam, the second he did, Grant ran full speed toward him and knocked him flat on his back, then went to hit him in the face but stopped inches before impact.
"Knock out" Mr. Wells yelled making notes on his clipboard. "Jeremy you now have no partner, do you wish to continue or accept the loss?"
"I'll keep going," he said cockily eyeing all of us…. Amateur….
"Ok, continue," said Mr. Wells.
I raised my arm above my head, with my open palm in the air and closed it into a fist, hoping my partners would know that I wanted to tighten our circle around Jeremy. They got it and we all moved in. The cocky Jeremy turned to face me, looking directly into my eyes. Cam and Zach ran towards him. He threw back a kick hitting Cam in the chest. Then a round house kick to the side of her face. Wells yelled another K.O…. He sounded a lot like the announcer in Mortal Kombat, a game that is always being played in the common room. That did not make Zach happy. I knew how he felt; Jeremy was always hitting on Lizbeth and PE was the only place I could do anything about it. I gave Jeremy a smile. As I stared Jeremy down, I heard Bex voice coming from the wall where Cammie had been taken, say "Oh, no, he is smiling…That is never a good thing." The class laughed…
Zack ran at Jeremy from behind throwing an uppercut to his jaw. Jeremy responded with a roundhouse kick that knocked Zack on his back. With this, Grant and I joined in the fight. Grant stopped to help Zack up and Jeremy knocked him out. We danced along for the next ten minutes throwing punch after punch. I let Zack have the honor of knocking Jeremy out.
P.E. seemed to drag on after our brawl. The other groups were up and did their thing. Bex was not as nice as Grant, when her turn was up. She hit Madison Sinclair right in the face. Madison will have a beautiful black eye tomorrow.
As the bell rang and we all walked back to the main building, we went our separate ways. Some went up the stairs to change out of their P.E. clothes, some went on to other classes. But since I never broke a sweat, I felt no need. I sat on the steps waiting for Carson and Lizbeth. Lizbeth came bouncing out of the doors and jumped to a stop in front of me with a huge smile on her face. "Page Michalchuk has no eyebrows!!!" she smirked.
"What?" I asked incredulously
"Page Michalchuk has no eyebrows!!" she yelled again still bouncing with glee. I looked at Carson for answers.
"We have to figure out what the bio weapon was by how it reacted with skin" he said. That gave me no answers. "We were told to only put the bio weapon on the cow skin, Page spilled hers on her paper, that seeped through to the lead table, then BAM, explosion, screaming, Page with no eyebrows." he finished.
Ah, now it makes sense. "Hence the bouncing, I see", I said looking at Lizbeth jumping up and down.
"Hey! Don't bring me down", she said, "Now she will never be on Winter Court!!"
Oh crap, I thought, that means Winter Formal is coming up. I have to figure out a great way to ask her. The three of us always go together to the dances but I always ask Elizabeth in some elaborate way.
"So, how is Jeremy, Still breathing?" Carson asked with a stupid grin on his face.
"Yeah, we had to do group attacks, Jeremy and Brad against me, Grant, Zack and Cam." I said trying to not grin.
"So, how did you knock him out??" Lizbeth asked.
"Didn't, Zack did", I said.
"What, Why?" Carson asked with a shocked expression.
"Jeremy is no gentleman", I said.
"What did he do," Carson asked with a glance toward Lizbeth silently asking me if Jeremy was saying anything bad about her.
"Kicked Cam in the chest, then round house to the face", I said.
"Hence, Zack with the knock out." Lizbeth said nodding.
The warning bell rang. Lizbeth gave me a quick hug, Carson and I shared a man hug and went our separate ways. Advanced bio was exactly what Carson and Lizbeth had said. We were given 6 bottles of bio weapons. We had to figure out what they were only by how they looked and reacted with the skin. Bio was never my strong suit, luckily Lizbeth and Carson had it before me, they would tell me what exactly was on the test before I took it.
They would basically give me the answers. Some people call that cheating; they say I will never really learn. I would say that in a normal school environment, this would be true. But when will I ever need to know this stuff? When I am on a mission…And since Carson and Lizbeth will always be with me so I really don't need it.
Class ended and everyone rushed out to get some studying in or hang out before dinner began. I took my time. I walked out the front doors to see Carson and Lizbeth already waiting for me by our tree.
"Hey, how was bio?" Lizbeth said pulling me down so I was sitting next to her.
"Same as you said, boring", I replied "So what are you kids up to tonight?"
"Well its Monday, so How I Met Your Mother and One Tree Hill in Carson's room and homework" said Lizbeth, "Fun right?"
"Ooh, One Tree is back!! Yes! Peyton is prego, but Brooke is the one who wants a baby!" Carson exclaimed. "How is Peyton going to tell her??"
"Wow, Carson, if you weren't such a man ho, I would call you gay!" I laughed at him.
"Hey, my best friend, who I practically live with, is a girl," he said defensively. That is true, Lizbeth may be a bad ass, but she was still a girl, and because of that, Cason and I could tell the difference between a Jimmy Choo and a Steve Madden. It was not our fault.
"All right, I gotta go," I said, "see you tomorrow.
I gave both of them a hug and started walking to the gates.
I am the only person in the school that gets to do this, one who gets to live at home. Headmistress Morgan had no choice but to say yes when my mom asked. My parents don't know that Gallagher Academy is for spies' not exceptional youths. My dad's boss thought the spy gene might run in the family. She was right. She passed the information onto Headmistress Morgan. But Ms. Morgan never expected us to live so close to the school. We only live about ten minutes away. Headmistress Morgan called my house and offered me a full scholarship. My mom jumped at the idea, but when Ms. Morgan came over to give us the abridged version of the history of the school (Dad's security clearance isn't high enough for the truth) my mom asked a question no other parent had asked before. She said "Can Jack live at home?" Headmistress Morgan said it might be hard for me because other students can not leave campus except for on Saturdays. My mom said I would be fine. Headmistress Morgan had no choice; she couldn't make it mandatory for me to live on campus. She left the decision up to me. Once I heard what the school really was and what my dad did for a living, I knew my decision. In the future I knew seeing my family might be difficult and I might not get many chances to do it, so I made Gallagher history and decided to live at home. A lot of students at Gallagher thought it was unfair, but they never voiced that to me.
It took me 6 minutes to walk home. It was around 4:30 when I made it there. I think dad was coming home soon. He never knows when he is going to be on a mission. I walked in and the smell of BBQ chicken filled my nose. BBQ night was my favorite. I walked into the kitchen, dropped my bag and sat on the counter.
"Hey Mom", I said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi sweetie, how was school?" my mom asked.
"Good where's Dad?" I wondered what Dad was doing in Paris. Was he also assigned with retrieving the disc? If it was and he brings it back here… No, I pushed the thought way, not my problem…It was Jeremy's job to get it back.
"He is in Wisconsin, some business meeting thing" she said putting the chicken in the oven. Wrong, I thought, he was no where near the lakes.
"Did you have fun with Carson and the boys last night?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, so much fun!" I said.
"Did you finish your project?" she asked
Yeah, Mom, what's wrong?" I asked. She was acting weird.
"Nothing… Ok your birthday is coming up and I want to throw you a party" she said really fast. A party, I'm fine with that, I think she will be a little disappointed when I don't invite half the school.
"Sure a party would be fun!!" she pulled a pad of paper from the drawer, "Now, who do you want to invite?"
"Carson and Elizabeth". She gave me a look
"You can not only have 2 friends and call it a party! I want this to be a big party," she said
"Is this my party or yours," I said with a laugh. She gave me another look… "Ok, Ok, I am sorry. Carson, Elizabeth, Zach, Grant, Jonas, Bex, Cammie, Liz and Macey." That's almost all the people I talk to."
"What about that Jeremy," she asked. "I heard you talking about him."
"He is not really a friend. He is trying to take my spot." True.
"Spot in what?" she asked.
"In P.E., I have the top grade" I said true, I do have the top grade but that is not the spot he wants to take.
"Well, this would be a perfect place to set aside your differences" mom stated
"No" I said jumping down off the counter. "I'm not inviting him! Before Mom could say anything, my Dad walked in.
"Come on, Angie, leave the kid alone. A little healthy competition is good" said Dad. He must be a better spy than I thought. I didn't even hear the door open or close.
"So Dad how was Wisconsin?" I asked
"Cold" he said, true.
"How was the cheese?" I asked with a small laugh.
"Ah, I knew there was something I forgot" he said "I didn't even try it!" True
"Why not?" I asked
"I never really let the hotel. That is where the meeting was," he replied, lie "how was your weekend, you hung out with Carson right?'
Yea, we had fun, just hung out, talked about girls, ate pizza," I answered, true.
"Do anything interesting?" he mumbled
"No", I said with a pause as if I was trying to remember everything we did "No more than usual" Which was true, it was just a typical mission.
"So how was school?" my dad asked.
"Why is that the first question out of all parents' mouths?"
"We want to know about your day its a reasonable question." He said.
"Well me day was swell."
The rest of the night went by as normal. We had dinner and talked. I also got to annoy the crap out of my sister for a good half an hour. The rest of the night I spent doing homework.
Hope you like it please please please review!!!!!!! Tell me what you think.
And I need some ideas for the next chapter, give me any if you have them.
