Rhiannon and her little crew were waiting for Anna in front of the school gates the hext day. Stubbing out her cigarette, Rhiannon walked towards Anna.
"So, Anna Lourvene," she sneered.
"Yes?" was the reply.
Rhiannon frowned, that wasn't the reply that she had in mind.
"Stay away from Alex," she hissed into Anna's face.
"Alex? Who's Alex?" asked Anna.
"Don't pretend you don't know, he's mine and NO ONE goes near him," she hissed again.
"Now, now Rhiannon, no need to be so protective of me, it's rather disturbing," said a deep male voice from behind them.
"Oh, hi Alex!" Rhiannon suddenly squealed rushing over to the golden-haired boy.
Anna looked at Rhiannon with amusement. The sudden change in her tone and demeanour was quite funny. She looked over at Alex. He wasn't bad looking, no he was quite handsome, but Anna didn't care. She had meant a lot of good-looking guys before and to her they meant nothing. She had never hugged, kissed a boy before. She had never been romantically involved and she certainly wasn't going to now. After all, she was to kill him anyway.
"Hello, I'm Alex Rider," the golden-haired boy said.
"Anna Lourvene," Anna said and walked through the school gates.
"Ohh, you just got cut!" teased Tom.
"Whatever," said Alex.
Anna went to the girls' bathroom and into a toilet cubicle. She closed the open toilet and quickly zipped open her bag and got out her 'make-up case'. Inside was a normal looking compact. If you looked closely, the 'compact' had Scorpia's symbol on the very edge on the back. When you flipped open the compact, everything inside looked normal too. However, the mirror was actually a two-way mirror. The powder was actually what Anna used to make a commotion. She would throw a pinch of the powder onto the ground and it would create a loud 'bang' and smoke would rise up.
Right now, Anna tapped the mirror three times. Julia Rothman's face appeared onto the small mirror.
"What?" Julia snapped.
"There's a girl called Rhiannon and she needs to be eliminated," whispered Anna.
"Well, then eliminate her!" shrieked Julia.
"I can't just do that, it would prove to be difficult and suspicious," said Anna.
"You haven't had issues before, what's so different about this," snapped Julia.
"She is always around the target, it would be rather suspicious for her to just disappear," said Anna.
"I'll fix that problem, right now all YOU have to do is kill M16's teenage protégé," said Julia as her face disappeared off the mirror.
Anna snapped her compact shut and flushed her toilet. She packed everything up and walked out of the cubicle. After checking her appearance she walked out of the bathroom.
"Why don't you just go out with Rhiannon, I mean, she's hot!" exclaimed Tom.
"She's an airhead," replied Alex.
"A HOT airhead," Tom said.
"Ahh, piss off," said Alex good-naturedly.
"She's more than just hot," whispered Tom as Anna walked past.
"Yeah, she is," said Alex staring after Anna.
Tom and Alex separated to go to their respective roll call classes.
"Oh, look who it is," sneered Rhiannon as Anna entered a classroom.
Anna ignored the girl and went to sit down.
"Hey, I'm talking to you," said Rhiannon as she stood in front of Anna's desk.
"Hello," said Anna looking up.
Rhiannon just stood there looking lost, this girl was very different from every girl she had met.
"Can I help you," Anna asked looking at Rhiannon.
"Yes, you can, stay away from Alex," she snapped.
"Does it ever occur to you that I'm just not interested in him? I don't even know the guy," said Anna.
"Don't be stupid, I saw the way you looked at him," snapped Rhiannon.
"In utter disgust?" Anna snapped back.
"How dare you say that!" gasped Rhiannon.
"It's only be second day and I already have an opinion of you, you, Rhiannon, are an airless bimbo," said Anna.
"Why you, little wrench," said Rhiannon dangerously.
Rhiannon raised her arm to slap Anna. As her hand went flying down Anna caught it.
"Don't touch me," Anna said quietly.
She threw Rhiannon's hand down, along with her hand Rhiannon fell onto the ground in a heap.
