Monday morning, the girls woke up with a start. Emily went on her usual run to the hill and JJ went for soccer practice, which left Ashley in the mansion. She would usually go for a run, but this morning she wanted a change.
She ran back upstairs into her room and changed into her bikinis and board shorts. They were green and her shorts white, they were her favorite pair. She grabbed a set of keys which weren't her car keys and was about to go out the door, when she had an idea,
She walked down the hall, past her bedroom and into another where she found Joel on his laptop. mixing music.
She knocked three times and lent on the door frame "Almost done?" she asked.
He spun around and smiled "Yeah, I just finished, wanna hear?" he asked and took out the earphones from the computer and turned on the speakers.
"Sure," Ashley walked further into the room and lent against his desk as they listened to Joel's new track "That sounds amazing," she smiled.
"It's you," he replied leaning back into his chair.
Ashley laughed "I wish,"
"I'm being serious," he replied "We recorded it the other day, I've been working on it ever since, there's a whole album,"
"You did all this?" she asked looking at the album.
"Yep," he nodded "I told you, you're good,"
"Joel, this is good," Ashley replied "How'd you get it all done,"
"I've been working on this album for a bit over a month, but I have four more, from when you first started," he replied, shrugging.
"Four more?" Ashley raised her eyebrows.
"Yep," he nodded "So what's with the bathers?"
"Oh, I was coming here to see if you wanna come with me, I was just about to go out," she replied standing up.
"And where would that be?" he asked, intrigued.
"It's a surprise," she smiled "Come on, I know you'll love it,"
Joel returned her smile and stood up "I'll just put my boardies on,"
Ashley nodded and stepped outside, waiting for him to get changed.
Only a few seconds later, Joel came out with his fluorescent green board shorts on and a towel over his bare shoulder. His six pack showing and his pecks on display.
"Wow, that was fast," she said as he shut his bedroom door.
"Didn't have much to change in to," he replied with a shrug.
"I can see that," she chuckled "Ready?"
They walked out the front door, locking it behind them, and walked down to the docks.
Ashley tossed him a pair of keys and jumped on a jet ski "That's yours," she pointed to a black jet ski in front of her green one.
"I take it you like the color green," he smirked, noticing her bathers, how could he not?
"My favorite," she replied "Okay, let's go," she said as Joel got on his jet ski and took off next to her.
They jumped over waves and crashed back onto the water. They drove in circles creating wave pools, then drove back through them, jumping high into the air.
Ashley circled around Joel and he did the same. Joel eventually jumped off, making it look like an accident, and Ashley came to his side.
"You okay?" she asked cutting her engine.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied shaking his hair "Mind giving me a hand up?"
Ashley smirked and grabbed his hand, she tried to pull him up but he just pulled her into the water.
When she merged, she wiped her hair back, flat, "Hey!" she punched him in the shoulder "What was that for?"
"You looked hot, thought you needed to be cooled down," he replied with an innocent smile.
Ashley rolled her eyes and tried to get back up onto the jet ski, but Joel wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her pack in. She let out a little scream and laughed.
When she swan back up to the surface and caught her breath, she came in contact with another pair of lips.
Joel had grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in for a searing kiss.
Slowly, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he held onto her slim waist.
As they parted, they both smiled.
"Galaxy," Joel said.
"What?" Ashley looked at him confused.
"We should sing 'Galaxy' for our duet," he said, they were still inches apart.
Ashley smiled again "Sounds perfect," she said before kissing him again.
When all three girls had finished their morning activities, they all met in the dining room for breakfast, joined by Joel.
"Good morning, you two," Emily smirked at the couple "And what did you guys get up to this morning, and why are you wet?"
"We went for a ride on the jet skis," Joel said "And I have copies of an amazing album for all three of you," he said giving a pointed look to Ashley, who just rolled her eyes.
"Really? Why by?" JJ asked.
"It's a surprise," Joel said smiling "But don't worry, it's good,"
"Okay, cool," Emily smiled "So what shall we have for our first day of school?"
"Uh, I'll have a bacon and egg muffin with cheese," said JJ "Thanks,"
"Ash?" Emily asked.
"Same, thanks Em," Ashley replied.
"Joel?" Emily asked.
"I can get it myself if you want," Joel offered.
Emily rolled her eyes "Relax, what will you have for breakfast?"
"Okay, I'll have the same but with Worcestershire sauce, please, thanks," Joel said.
Emily nodded and waked into the kitchen to Gloria, the chef.
"Good morning Gloria, sleep well?" Emily asked, they were great friends as the girls always helped her out even wen she didn't need it.
"I did thank you Em, excited for your first day?" Gloria smiled and started on the breakfast as she had heard the orders.
"I am actually, it'll be good to go back to a normal school with other kids," Emily replied as she cracked the eggs into the egg rings.
"I guess home schooling will do that to you," Gloria replied "So met anyone yet?"
"As in boys?" Emily laughed "No, not yet,"
"But you'd tell me if you do?" Gloria quirked an eyebrow at her.
"You'd be the second to know," Emily said earning a questioning look "Big brother would know first, he knows everything,"
Gloria laughed "That he does,"
"So have you actually met Hugo?" Emily asked.
"Nope, I don't think anyone has," she replied "He could be one of us for all we know,"
"True," Emily nodded "How's Gary?"
"The cancer spread to his brain," Gloria said sadly "Be had no memory of who I am anymore, or you guys,"
"Oh, I'm sorry," Emily said "How are you coping with it?"
"I miss my husband, but as long as I have you guys, I'll get through it," she replied.
"Well, you know we're always here," Emily said putting the eggs on top of the bacon and drizzling one with sauce.
"I know," Gloria smiled "Just make sure you keep safe," she warned her.
"We always do," she winked and grabbed two plates and walking out into the dining room and placing them in front of Joel and Ashley.
"Thanks Emily," they replied in unison "Thank you Gloria!" they shouted so she could hear.
"No problem!" Gloria shouted back, earning a chuckle from all of them.
Emily then went back into the kitchen to grab the other two plates and brought them back out, thinking Gloria in the process.
"Okay, Joel, if you see any signs or anything that just looks weird, tell us," Emily said.
"Will do," he said after swallowing a mouthful of muffin.
"Great, thanks," JJ said "So we start in the West Gate, the codes and stuff would be somewhere secluded and wouldn't stand out,"
"We know, Jayj, we've been through this already, let's just make it to school first," Ashley chuckled.
"Sorry, just nervous," JJ apologized.
"It's just school, Jayj," Emily said "I've been to lots of schools, after a while you get used to being the new kid," she shrugged.
"I know, but I haven't been to six different countries and have a career politician for a mother," JJ reasoned.
"If we stick together, we'll be just fine," Joel assured them.
"Exactly," Ashley said, Emily nodded in agreement.
As the four of them puled up in their cars, they definitely attracted attention.
Joel rode in Ashley's car as it was just easier.
Emily stepped out of her car wearing red short shorts, and a tight white cotton tank top with YALE written on the chest, tucked into the shorts. She wore red Vans shoes and her hair was up in a messy bun with loose strands on the sides of her face. She had a simple white gold necklace that read 'hope'. She had a diamond ring on her right middle finger and she had mirrored aviators.
JJ wore dark navy high-waist shorts with a loose floral top tucked in. She had white high-topped Converse shoes on and her hair was straight and down. She had a long necklace with a simple wooden cross and a gold ring on her left middle finger. Her sunglasses were floral pattern with a deep purple tint.
Ashley had green short shorts and a long sleeve black lace top with a green strapless lace crop underneath. She had black glitter Vans shoes and her hair was up in a long straight pony tail. She had a grey wire headband twisted into a bow at the front. She had a flower ring on her right middle ringer.
All three girls had their watches on and they had their kits in the car and they put their guns and knives in their school backpacks.
Joel wore pale blue Billabong Swerve Walkshorts and a white fitted V-neck cotton shirt with white canvas boat shoes. Hugo had given him a watch too, it was a white gold and black watch with records and headphones in the background. He was given a gun and a knife as he was trained with the girls, but hadn't become an official agent yet. He had dark brown Widow's Peak styled hair and he had pitch black retro aviator sunglasses. He had a white gold chain around his neck and a matching bracelet.
"Okay, everyone's staring," Joel said as they gathered in a group in front of their cars.
"Just ignore it, they'll eventually get bored," Ashley said.
"JJ!" an Australian accent called and walked over "Hey," he smiled.
"Hey Jared," JJ returned his smile "Jared, these are Emily, Ashley and Joel," she introduced "Guys, this is Jared,"
Joel shook his hand firmly and smiled "How's it goin'?" Jared asked.
"Good, man, yourself?" Joel asked.
"Yeah, it's different, I'll give you that," Jared smiled "Nice cars,"
"Thanks," they said in unison "So this is your first school in the States, huh?" JJ asked him.
"Yeah, it feels weird not wearing a uniform, but hey, I'm not complaining," he smiled.
They all chuckled a little and Emily continued "Shall we?"
"Of course," JJ replied earning a wink from Emily. JJ rolled her eyes and they started to walk to the office, earning some turned heads along the way.
"Emily!" Arizona called "Hey!"
"Oh hey Arizona," she smiled.
"Where you headed?" Arizona asked.
"Office for our timetables," Emily replied then leaned in to mutter "And everyone is staring,"
Arizona chuckled "That's cause you all look hot," she whispered back.
"Aw," Emily said mockingly "That's so sweet," and put an arm around Arizona's shoulders.
They walked into the office and grabbed their timetables. In every class, there were two of them, mostly Ashley and Joel, and Emily and JJ. Jared was in most of JJ's classes and Arizona was in most of Emily's.
"First period, Spanish class," Emily said, then curse in Spanish, earning a quirked eyebrow from Joel and Jared.
"You speak Spanish?" Jared asked.
"Yep," Emily nodded.
JJ smirked "And five other languages!"
Emily rolled her eyes "Not by choice,"
"Well, at least you'll be able to help me," JJ said.
"And me," Arizona said with an innocent smile.
Emily noticed someone behind Arizona and smirked "That chick behind you keeps checking you out," she told her.
"What? Where?" Arizona spun around and saw a tall, beautiful Latina girl quickly look down away from her.
"Go over and talk to her," Ashley said.
"I don't even know if she's gay," Arizona said "I don't even know her name,"
"Then go find out," JJ shoved Arizona over to the girl.
"Hi, I'm Arizona," Arizona introduced herself.
The girl smiled "Callie Torres," she replied and shook her hand "You're new?"
"Yep, moved here about a month ago," Arizona nodded "You?"
"Nope, Miami born and raised," she replied with a single shake of the head.
"So I guess you know your way around don't you?" Arizona asked.
"Yeah, I do," Callie smirked "What's your first period?"
"Spanish," Arizona said.
"Well, Arizona, so do I, I'll show you around if you want," Callie said.
"Sure," Arizona smiled brightly and Callie had to look away to not gt lost in those sparkly blue eyes.
Arizona tried not to stare into Callie's big brown eyes, luckily Callie broke eye contact first.
"Did your friends want to come?" Callie offered looking over at the group behind them.
"Sure, let's go ask them," Arizona smiled and they walked back over to the group "Callie these are Emily, Ashley, JJ, Joel and Jared," Arizona introduced, having picked up the guys names before "Guys, this is Callie Torres, she's offered to show us around,"
"Are you sure?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, of course, I know this school like the back of my hand," Callie explained.
"Great," Ashley smiled "Well, do you know where Psychology is?" she looked at Emily "Really? Psychology?"
Emily and JJ tried not to laugh "Uh, yeah, Psych's in room 3G45, so block 3, ground floor, room 45," Callie directed them.
"Thanks," Ashley smiled "We owe you one, see you round Callie," she called over her shoulder as Joel and Ashley walked to their Psych class.
"Calliope Torres!" an angry looking red head stormed up from behind her "You told Mark about Teddy?"
"Mark? No, I do not tell best friends about other best friends, it just doesn't work like that," Callie rolled her eyes "And if you ever call me Calliope again, I'll break your nose,"
The girl rolled her eyes "Yeah, yeah, you've said that before,"
"Addison Montgomery, meet Arizona, JJ and Jared," Callie introduced "This is Addison, my best friend,"
Addison smiled "Nice to meet you,"
"Likewise," Emily smiled.
"Calliope Torres!" another angry person stormed up from behind her "Why didn't you tell me about Addison? I'm your best friend!" he said.
"See?" she gave a pointed look to Addison then turned to Mark "Okay, first of all, what's with people calling me that? And two, not my fault Cristina told you and not me,"
"You told Cristina?" asked Addison. JJ and Emily looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
"Uh, yeah?" Callie said like it was the most obvious thing in the world "I tell her everything, she's like a robot, she has no emotions,"
"You should have told me," Mark crossed his arms.
"Okay, you," she pointed to Mark "Go whinge to someone who cares, Derek maybe," then he turned to Addison "And you can bitch and moan about it or you can go ask Teddy out, it's not that hard,"
Addison and Mark looked at her for a second then mumbled something about 'not bitching and moaning' and moped away.
The three girls and Jared raised their eyebrows and tried not to laugh.
"Sorry, that was Mark, my other best friend," Callie explained "So, shall we go to Spanish class?"
They walked past a group of kids and Callie turned to them "So does anyone actually speak Spanish?" she asked in Spanish.
Emily smiled "Sure do, one of the first languages I learned," also in Spanish.
"Nice, you're fluent," Callie said (also in Spanish)
"I lived in several parts of Spain and Mexico growing up," she replied.
Arizona, JJ and Jared listened to their Spanish like it was the most easiest subject ever and raised their eyebrows.
"I've only heard her speak in Italian, and even then, she's ranting about something," Arizona murmured to the other two non-Spanish-speaking students.
"She rants in Italian?" Jared asked with his eyebrows still raised.
"All the time," JJ shook her head "But sometimes she switches to Arabic,"
Arizona laughed "Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that,"
"How many freakin' languages does she speak?" asked Jared.
"I think it's about six other than English," Arizona said.
"Yeah, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Russian, French and Greek," JJ confirmed.
"I had trouble learning Japanese back in the 'Sunshine State'," Jared chuckled.
"Well, when you have a career politician for a mother, and you move from country to country, you have to learn the native language," Arizona said.
Emily and Callie continued their conversation in Spanish behind them as they entered the classroom and took their seats, but when the teacher walked in, they stopped.
Hello Calliope Torres :)
Hope you liked that chapter :D
