Chapter 10: Bex makes a plan

*Imagine an author's note here saying I don't own the wonderful Gallagher series but I own the way this is written thankies! Oh and Malissa is mine.*

Bex POV:

I dreaded this hour. Somehow I knew Grant was going to try to partner up with me. Fear for the others coursed through my veins. All my senses were on high alert. My plan make Grant believe I was just a normal girl. I'll date him to keep an eye on him and try to find out who the other spies were. I can't believe I have to honey pot agent! I don't know if this is exciting or incredibly scary.

"Hey bombshell." Grant said coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

He pulled me back against him and I could feel his breath on my neck. I felt my face warm up and the hair on my arms stand on end. My legs felt like jell-o and I couldn't decide if I liked this or not.

"Um hey…"

"So you decided what your answer is?"

"Maybe."

I felt his grip tighten and I let out a small squeak, "I hope you decide soon."

Just as quickly as he was there he was gone and it felt like I was on fire. I could hear my heart being quickly and felt weak. This is ridiculous! A guy shouldn't have this kind of effect on me! Especially one who is the enemy! I narrowed my eyes and glared at the wall. I took a few seconds to collect myself before going to class. To bloody heck if I'm letting the enemy see that he gets to me even a little bit!

"After noon Bex!" sang Auhd as I walked in.

"After noon Auhd." I smiled.

I liked Auhd! She always seemed happy and well fun. I loved that because she seemed to have a carefree spirit that teachers at Gallagher didn't have. Like there was nothing for her to hide. I wanted a life like that, but I really wanted to still be a spy. I loved it! The thrill of catching a bad guy, of having to keep secrets, but that's the downside also. Of the possibility that I'll die in a mission, but my boyfriend would never know what had happened to me… Is it worth it? Keep the world safe so others live, but never to be able to actually live myself. To always be in the dark hiding. It is worth it, but at what cost?

"Take your seats students."

I sat in the corner away from Grant, but I knew he knew where I was. I had the feeling he would always know. Auhd told us we could choose our partners and I looked around for someone, but pretty much everyone jumped to Grant. Ya our class was mostly girls which was good because it distracted him while I went up to ask Auhd if I could team up with Joe from the period before since I heard he didn't have a partner. I'd prefer him over Grant. I could see Grant break away from the girl's right as I got to Auhd.

"Auhd may I team up with Joe?"

"Sure Bex!" she smiled and I felt myself relax.

I turned and saw some unknown emotion flash in Grants eyes. Anger, possibly even jealously. He had no right to be jealous! I'm not his property! I turned and went back to where I sat in the corner. He stormed over and I could fell his warm breath on my neck as he got on his knees facing me. His cologne was a pleasant mix of spices, many I couldn't name. He grabbed my wrists tightly and looked offended.

"Why HIM?" he asked.

"Oh no reason I just thought it'd be better to work with him so I wouldn't get distracted. I mean how could we practice if I decide to say yes to dating you. What if we like get distracted and start making out or something instead of practicing?" I replied smoothly.

He narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Fine."

That was a close one. I couldn't let him know my plans. He may be the enemy, but I couldn't let him find out and hurt him like that. IF he does something like that to me he'll be dead. After awhile he let go of my wrists and picked another partner. I wanted to sigh in relief as he walked away. This isn't going to be easy. My skin tingled where he grabbed my wrists and my senses were still dazed by the experience. It made me feel extremely ill knowing that Grant made me feel like this. Next time he asks I'll say yes and set my plan in motion.

Grant pov quick:

Anger pulsed through my veins. How dare she choose HIM. I looked over at her and sighed unable to stay mad at her. Stupid I know. I couldn't like a citizen, but she seemed different. I couldn't place it, but something was off. She looked lost in thought and I just stared at her. It should be against the law to look so beautiful.

I sighed barely listening to the girl I chose as a partner. She was the only one not jumping me. Malissa was her name I think. A beautiful full figured blond, with brown eyes who wore an orange beanie along with shorts and a grey top, she was a sight all right. She narrowed her eyes.

"Hey listen when I'm talking to you!"

"Oh! Sorry."

She rolled her eyes, "You're not sorry."

"How did you –"

"I'm smarter then I look. Just because I'm a pretty face doesn't mean I don't have brains to back up the beauty."

DAMN. I have a bad feeling I'm going to regret choosing this girl as my partner. But this should be interesting.
