JOE POV
My worst nightmare, the Blackthorne boys are here for the rest of the semester. That means seven weeks of puling horny teenage girls away from flirty teenage girl. Making the lessons harder to keep up with Blackthorne standards and being extra 'scary' to keep up with the legend that I hold at Blackthorne. However all that is a walk in the park, compared to Lucy and her old roommate Jason. I know he has feelings for her, strong ones too, and I also know that he will do whatever it takes to go out with her, putting me out of the picture.
Great and I have to see them all the first thing on a Monday morning. I hate Mondays.
LUCY POV
I was sitting in the Cove-ops classroom (I moved my desk to go next to theirs; I may be Joe's girlfriend but teacher's pet? NO.) Messing about with Michelle and Gracie, Katie was on the research track, when seven boys strolled in acting as if they own the place. I immediately saw Jason and Matt, Chris was also on the research track, I smirked at the two boys as they came towards me,
'Alright boys?' I said in my best cockney accent,
'Not bad darlin',' Jason replied, his accent was much better as he lived in London for a while.
'What can I do for you?' I smirked at them, and Jason pulled leaned down on my desk using his elbows to prop himself up and gave me his best puppy dog eyes.
'Mrs. Morgan says we need to find ourselves a guide, so, will you pleeeaaassse be my guide?' he asked like a little five year old. I laughed and was about to reply when a voice cut through the room that made the whole class silent.
' Kupata wavulana kiti, haiwezi kewa ngumu,' Joe said in Swahili, which translated into 'find a seat boys, it can't be that hard,' and I did notice the hint of sarcasm in his voice. Jason and Matt just rolled their eyes and bagged the remaining seats. Joe waited in silence until they had sat down before turning to the rest of the class,
'Sule silmad,' (close your eyes in Estonian) we did, once again I could feel him moving around the room, touching different objects, the board rubber, the globe, the lamp on his desk and finally, once again, my desk.
'Ava oma silmad ja ὓtle mulle, mida 4 asju mida ma puudutada,' (open your eyes and tell me what four things I touched in Estonian,) we all opened our eyes and this time it wasn't just my voice that rang out it was Matt's as well. Not Jason, he seemed to be melting under Joe's death glare, I have to find out what's up with Joe today.
'The board rubber, the globe, the lamp on your desk and my desk,' me and Matt said, well he said 'Lucy's desk' instead of 'my desk'.
Joe took his eyes off Jason and looked at us, well me, but that didn't bother me, what did bother me was the look in his eyes, slight sadness along with slight annoyance. I really need to see what is going on.
'Very good you two,' he said just as the bell went, 'for homework write me a four page essay on sensing your surroundings, class dismissed,' I stood up and waited as the rest of the class started to file out.
'Luc, you coming?' Jason asked from the door, I looked at him.
'Yeah, you go on I'll catch up with you later,' He nodded and went to catch up with Matt. I waited until everyone was out of ear shot, then I turned to Joe, who had started to mark papers.
'Hey, you okay? You seem... distracted,' I asked softly, Joe sighed but didn't look up from his papers.
'Yes, I'm fine thanks,' he replied a little too quickly and sharply for my liking. He was lying.
'You're lying, what's up?' at this he looked up.
'I don't like you being with him, I know he has feelings for you,' it didn't a genius to know he was talking about Jason, I looked at him, we've had this conversation before and it didn't end well.
'He may have feelings for me, but I have NOTHING for him, I promise,' promise, a word spies don't use that often, but right now I meant it, fully and completely. I stared at him right in the eyes so he knows I am not lying. He looked down and shook his head.
'Okay, you're right, I'm sorry,' he apologised but then looked up again, 'we still on for tonight?' then I grinned.
'You bet,' Joe laughed and then I heard the elevator doors opening so I said goodbye quickly and ran off to my next lesson so that I wouldn't be late.
JOE POV
It has been a week and already the boys are annoying me, especially Jason. He keeps on flirting with Lucy, who, thankfully, mocks him for it. Though that doesn't stop him, it is really hard to restrain from punching him in the face, maybe it would be an improvement. Okay I have to stop, I am talking like a teenager. Well I am only twe- you know what? I'm not going to tell you.
Right now I am sitting in the van waiting for my class to come out for the pop quiz. See how they are against each other. I heard them coming, (for a bunch of spies, they're very loud) i opened the door to see them standing there shivering in the cold.
'Hop in,' my 'phrase' you might say, as I say almost every time we use the van. I looked at what they were all wearing, the definition of dress casually must be different to mine because some of them looked ridiculous. I even saw three inch heels. Now to me, that's high heels. Lucy, of course, was dressed properly for the occasion, and she seemed to have persuaded her roommates to dress normally as well.
When I reached the town I stopped round the back of the cinema, just as a subtle hint to Lucy about our first 'reunion' date. I looked at her and she caught me looking and raised an eyebrow at me, so I smirked.
'You have three hours to find all of your tails,' I said simply, Ms. Haimsly looked at me in shock.
'What Ms. Haimsly?'
'It's just... do we not get comms units? Also how many tails do we have?'
'No, you don't get comms unit, you won't always have someone to help you and I am not going to tell you,' a small smile played at my lips 'It ruins the fun, so go on off you go,' Lucy was the last the leave the van so I gave a small wink to her and pressed a tiny comms unit disguised as an earring, exactly like the one she had on, into her hand.
'Let me know if you are in trouble,' she nodded and smiled warmly.
'I will,'
LUCY POV
I jumped out of the van taking off one of my earrings and replacing it with the one Joe gave me, he only knew what type earring to disguise the comms unit as because they're the only one I wear because my father gave them to me before he... went away.
Soon enough, the comms unit crackled and I heard Joe's voice,
'Can you hear me?'
'Crystal,'
'Good, now get on with your mission,' I laughed.
'Well, I would but a strange man keeps talking to me,'
'You think you've got it bad, this crazy lady keeps mocking me, I can see her on the screen now, oh god she's turning please, dear god, don't let her see me!' He kept on rambling about what he would do if she saw him so I decided I had had enough.
'Joe?' He stopped his ramblings,
'Yes?'
'Shut up, I-,' I was cut short because I saw someone that I saw only a minute ago wearing a hot dog shirt, sure it is only a school thing but you have to take these things seriously.
'I have to go Joe, I have a tail,' Joe didn't reply but I know he got the message.
I started to move into a shop where I saw Beth, I signalled to her that I have a tail so watch out, she nodded showing she got the message and went to tell the others. I left the shop and moved to the town centre, where I bought a hot dog and stood in the steady flow of shoppers, letting myself disappear. There is a girl in the year below me called Cammie, they say she's a good pavement artist and I believe them, but she's nothing on me. After a while the tail lost sight of me so I carried on moving, I passed an alley, which I had no intentions on going down, but it seemed someone else had intentions of me going down there because a pair of hands grabbed me and yanked me down the alley.
I didn't make a sound as I threw my fist at the attacker and it connected with their nose, I heard a sickening crack that echoed in the silence of the dark alleyway. My attacker pinned me against the wall, I tried to fight but he knew all my moves already, and only one person knows ALL my moves.
'Jason! What the fuck!' Yes I swear when I am REALLY angry. Jason moved and I could see his face, it was Jason alright, but his nose was messed up, badly.
'Listen Blondie! You will do what I want and do as I say, otherwise I will really hurt you.' He said fiercely, what has gotten into him! He is going to harass me! This isn't like Jason!
'The fuck has gotten into! Let me go!' he still wouldn't budge so I did the best thing possible, I slammed my head into his already broken nose. He shout out in pain and let me go, but as I was running, no sprinting, away he kicked me in the head and used his foot to twist my ankle the wrong way. I shout in pain, then I remembered my comms unit.
'West Street, right side of road, small alley, please come quick.' I whispered into it, Jason looked at me confused. I took my time, using my good foot, I slammed it into his chest, making him stumble backwards. I jumped up as fast as I could and started to throw punches, but like I said he knew all my moves, so managed so pin me back against the wall slamming my head against the brick, I could feel blood trickling down my neck. I was starting to go dizzy when his weight was lifted off me, I opened my eyes the best I could to see a man beating the crap out of Jason. Only saw a bit before I fell to the floor, lying in a growing pool of my own blood.
Lots of action! Sorry about the language but I thought it suited the 'moment', tell me what you think about Jason! Good(e)? Bad? I don't really have a reason why he did what he did yet... but I will!
