Ace's POV(Bold=memory)

I was staring at Aria sleeping whilst the movie played on. Long black eyelashes fluttered as she dreamt, she looked so peaceful, so vulnerable, like I had never seen even when she had had that breakdown earlier. I think back to the moments.

I hear a chocked whimper from the bathroom, if I didn't have super hearing I still would have heard it. I creep to the door and see Aria shaking like a leaf gripping the edge of the sink so hard her knuckles looked white.

'Hey,' I didn't know what to say. She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen, she had dark blue eyes and dirty blonde hair that reached her waist in beach waves and her button nose held a few freckles, but she was falling apart in front of me her carefully placed façade crumbling.

Ice started to come from where her hands were placed and icicles were hanging from the sink now, I was starting to worry, was she losing control? When the snow started falling in the en suite I said 'Hey, It's ok… you don't have to be scared anymore.' I pulled her into my arms and she started to sob, grief raking her small, fragile body.

Suddenly she pushed away from me saying that she wasn't scared and walked away. I don't know why I was hurt but it did, I had only met her today and I was falling for her… hard. I followed her out and watched as she took weapons and gear out of her bag. Her façade back in place, like nothing had ever happened and she was the happy, tough Australian girl again.

'I don't know why I expected there to be normal things in your bag.' I stated attempting to break the ice (lol). It worked and for the first time I heard her tinkling laughter and thought that I wanted to hear her laugh more often.

I heard Jack chuckle. 'This girl's got you good.' Realizing I had been staring at her for a while I looked away trying to be casual. 'Why don't you take her to bed? It's late any way.' I nodded mutely and picked her up bridal style. Her eyes fluttered but she didn't wake. I carried her up to her room and settled her on the bed. She unconsciously curled up into a tight ball, murmuring about command and Frost. I pushed some of her hair behind her ear and left, closing the door behind me. Crossing the door to my room I flopped down on my bed falling asleep before I my head hit the pillow.

Aria's POV:

I wake up in my bed and look at the clock it blinks a 06:46 back at me. I tumble out of the bed and drag myself to the shower, washing my hair. When I get out 18 minutes later I dry my hair and wrap a towel round myself and prepare to dig around in the shopping until I find an outfit good enough. I pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans from Hollister, a long sleeved navy blue crop top from Jack Wills, a black jacket with fur on the hood and a pair of studded black ankle boots. Rushing back into the en suite I pulled my clothes on and straightened my long hair until it was perfect and let it hang loose. I only applied some mascara, I didn't need any more make up, and exited the bathroom. The clock now said 7:30 and I knew we would probably have to leave in 30 minutes. I grabbed my bag, which was a white and navy blue stripped back pack with tan pleather lining it, stuffing some pens, pencils and notepads into it I ran out the door.

I walked into the kitchen to see Gabe typing furiously on the computer and the others eating various forms of breakfast. I grabbed a chocolate cereal bar and started munching on it.

When we had finished eating Jack piped up 'You should be going now, I'll drop you since Ace can't fit three on his bike.' We said goodbye to the parents and left the house. I ended up at the back of the car with Ace, since Gabe had managed to steal shotgun. When the car stopped and I saw the amount of people.

'How many people go to this school?' I said feeling slightly self-conscious.

Ace replied 'Haven't you ever been to a school? This one is quite small.' I shook my head, I know I'm a spy and everything but that means I like blending in, not standing out as the new girl. I tried to assure myself by knowing I could take any of these guys down and find all their secrets, use it to blackmail them to leave me alone. Gabe and Ace started to get out the car so I followed suite. Once we were out we started heading to where Sky and Zed were, as well as 3 other people I don't know. People started to whisper and stare pointing at Gabe and I asking each other who we were.

Ace saw my discomfort and started to walk faster. We got there in 30 seconds but if felt like forever. Zed glared at everyone watching us and suddenly they jumped into conversations again.

'OH MY GOSH! THAT OUTFIT IS SO CUTE!' one of the strangers screamed in my ear, I flinched but gave a slight smile to seem approachable in response to my awkwardness she said 'I'm Zoe, friends with these lot. Sky told me that you and your brother were coming today.' I nodded.

'I'm Aria and this,' I pointed at my brother, 'Is Gabe.'

'And you're Australian! That accent is so cute! Are you twins? How long have you been here? What subjects are you taking? Were you home schooled? Do you-' thankfully another girl interrupted her.

'Zoe calm down of course they are twins! Let them be!' she turned to me and Gabe 'I'm Tina and this,' she pointed at a tall boy next to her, 'is Nelson.' I smiled at them both and Nelson sparked up a conversation with Gabe, I could tell they would be best mates by the end of the day.

'We should go get your time table.' Offered Sky. I nodded and she led the way, away from the group. Only Ace noticed and he smiled and waved at me as I left. We got to the reception. The lady there had bubble gum pink lipstick on and gave me a sweet smile.

'You must be Aria Morgan! Welcome to Wrinklage High, I hope you like it here. Here is your timetable and locker Key. You are in Home room 2 for registration and you are on the B side of the year. Your first lesson is German.' We left the room and walked back to meet the group which Sky told me to call 'The Gang'.

'What do you have first?' Ace asked looking at my sheet.

'German in MFL4. Could someone show me where my locker is?'

'Yeah I have German too it seems like our classes are the same apart from PE. I'll take you to your locker.' We left the gang and I could see eyebrows being raised and I'm sure that Ace could hear what they were saying. We walked down the corridor until Ace stopped and pointed out a locker. 'That's mine' he took a few more steps and said 'That's yours.' I opened it and stuffed some note books and stationary in there as well as the PE bag I had brought with me. Once I was finished we started to make our way to German. I was pretty sure I wouldn't find school hard since I was trained to know 27 languages, know all math and science and be a wiz at everything as well as be able to sneak and tail, spot tails, attack, hide and get information. We had just turned a corner when Ace stiffened beside me.

Suddenly a voice called out 'Hey there, Ace is that a new bitch I see there?' Drake.

'Shut up Drake.' Ace replies with a measured voice trying to keep calm. We keep walking and try to edge pass him. People are whispering about why he doesn't like me when nobody even knows me. We almost made it past when he grabs my arm and spins me around, I wasn't expecting him to be so strong. His head bends down to my ear.

'You slap me again pretty girl and I will make your life hell, even more so than it's going to be.' I yank my arm away and growl.

'You touch me one more time and you'll get much more than a slap.' Ace laughs openly and we continue walking, I am a spy, I can cope with this.

We get to German and Ace waves for me to sit next to him so I do and take off my jacket placing it on the back of my seat. A boy walks up to be and places a note on the table, I look up at him, and he has wavy hair and bright green eyes.

'I'm Josh, call me sometime' He winks and sits in the seat in front of me. My jaw is literally on the floor, he doesn't even know my name, how much more demeaning does he want to be? Stuck up… I stand up and walk to the bin dramatically placing the number in there ensuring Josh sees me. Ace bursts out laughing again. I wink at Josh, who looks more than a little pissed off, as I sit down.

Ace fist bumps me as the teacher walks in.

'Hallo class! We have a new student! Aria Morgan… where is she… oh there, come to the front darling'. I hesitantly walk to the front of the class and mutter a confirmation of my name and walk back to my seat. Some boys wolf whistle at me and I try to hide behind my hair. Ace leans over to me brushing the hair across my face behind my ear, when I sit down his lips brushing my ear as he says 'It's because you're pretty don't hide your face because of them.' I blush and he smirks at me. I turn back to the teacher who is speaking in rapid German and is expecting the class to know this, I of course know German already and it seems like Ace does too, it turns out no one else does.

Halfway through the class I lean over to Ace and say 'How do you know all this, you're not exactly German or a spy?'

'Ha no I have super memory and when I was 10 I learnt 27 languages' I laugh and people turn to us, I smile apologies. When the class ends Ace shows me to math and the day goes on. At lunch I go to get my food and meet Sky, we talk about nothing important and the day goes on. I only see Drake in the halls when he glares at me but it looks like him and his friends are scared of Nelson Zed and Ace, enough to leave the girls alone. At the end of the day we find Jack waiting for us and we go back home.

Ace and I gear up and grab our snowboards heading out. Xav was working at the lift and gives us the ride free. Saying 'Don't tell Mom and Dad!'

'Are you ready for this?' He's grinning widely and looks like he is having an amazing time.

'Yeah!' We had picked a moderately easy route so that we could warm up on it. We jump off the lift joking around. I put on my board and tell Ace to watch me, preparing to amaze. I'm not trying to brag but I am good. When I get back to the top He is going on about how my jumps were great. When he goes I wait at the top. I'm watching him board like a pro, he's so good, far better than me. That when I hear the voices behind me. I look and Drake and some more guys are standing about 6 feet away.

Ace? Drakes here. I try to warn him

Oh my… That's when my world lights up, explosions of colour go through me the world looks alive and I feel whole.

Thanks for reading this far! If you would leave a review good or bad it would be lovely and so helpful to me. Thank you everyone for the reviews so far! I am going to try and incorporate more of Aces pov into my chapters or maybe a whole chapter so you can get to know his personality better.

Llamacorn : Thank you so much for the review! I am going to start studying biological sciences this year and hopefully go on to do zoology and specialize in neuroscience communication and behavior. I'm actually rubbish at English (I stopped in year 11 lol I always found it hard) and just enjoyed reading since I was young and when I finished all my books I used to write about them so I decided to post them here. I'm glad my story makes you happy :) I'll make sure to keep on writing for you! As for help with how to get through school all I can say is I wish I was back at GCSE lol it only gets harder in A level but if you just make sure to revise but not all the time or you'll go insane, maybe set up alarms and just remember it'll be over before you know it! and you'll have some long as summer to look forward to knowing you tried your best. Just don't sleep in class ahahaha x
