Chapter 3

Skye walks out of the office with Coulson. May and Ward immediately stand up as they come out. "Melinda can you grab some extra clothing for Skye and bring them to room 84, looks like she'll be staying here awhile." May nods without question and walks out of the room. Ward has a look on his face that says he's confused.

"I don't—"

"Ward you can escort Skye to her room. You'll also be becoming her new S.O."

"S.O?" Skye repeats.

"It stands for supervising officer, or some of the students call it Senior Officer, because the role is given to a senior usually to mentor a Junior." Ward bites his lip as Coulson finishes explaining.

"But I'm a senior." Skye defends.

"Oh I know, but it'll be hard for you to adjust so late. Hopefully Ward will be able to help you make the transition. I trust that you'll keep your mission classified Ward."

Ward scrunches his fist, irritated. "Of course." He says through clenched teeth.

"Perfect. Than a good night to you both. Please show Skye to the girls dorm Ward and I'll be see you both tomorrow." Coulson walks past them and opens the door where Skye noticed the keypad. Turns out the door wasn't locked. If only she'd ran when she could have. Skye follows the handsome muscle man as they make their way out into a dark hallway. If Skye had to guess she'd say it was close to midnight.

Following Ward down the halls, Skye can't help but feel this shield academy place is kind of creepy. "So, you'll be helping me adjust to my new lifestyle here." Ward stops, Skye almost bumping into him.

"Let's make things clear, we are not friends, and just because I'm becoming your S.O doesn't mean will hang out."

Skye rolls her eyes. "Whatever robot." His words meaning nothing to her. "I don't really want to be friends with a boring guy like you anyway."

Ward looks like he's going to burst a blood vessel. "How did you do it? Convince Coulson to let you stay. Who are you anyway?"

"I didn't convince Coulson of anything; he wanted me to be here. I try to protest. And name's Skye." Ward looks even more irritated now.

"But even the smartest people in the world don't get into this school. We have operations and science, and both require a heavy set of skills. Multiple tests required. Only 5% of the people who apply here get in."

"Well not me." Skye answers. "Guess I'm just a total genius." She jokes.

Ward squeezes his fist. "You know what; you can find your own way around here."

Ward walks away, and Skye being stubborn to make a point doesn't follow him. "Should be easy if a robot like you knows it so well." Ward's around a corner before Skye can try her lame insults more.

Walking around for a bit Skye finds herself hopelessly lost. The hallways were dark, and she couldn't tell which staircases lead where.

Finally when Skye found a room with a light on it she was filled with relief. She runs and opens the door not bothering to acknowledge if anyone was in the room, she just really wanted to find this girls dorms and hopefully find a bed to sleep in.

Skye opens the door to find a girl starring down into some sort of microscope. She seemed to be concentrated on work. She turns around when Skye walks in. "Hello can I help you?" the girl replies in a British accent. The girl seemed to have a friendly atmosphere around her that Skye had discovered not many people in the real world had.

"Ah yeah sorry, do you mind helping me find the girls dorm." The girl takes off her lab glasses.

"Girls dorms? Oh my how late is it?" The girl uncovers her white lab coat sleeve to reveal a watch. "Almost 1o'clock, oh Fitz why didn't you tell me it was this late before you left." The girl takes off her goggles and puts them on the counter. Pulling off her lab coat she hangs it up. "I'd be happy to show you to the student dorms. This school can be quite confusing after all; I've gotten lost on multiple occasions." The girl reaches out her hand. "I'm Jemma Simmons."

"Skye." The two girls shakes hands. "If you don't mind me asking what were you doing so late?"

"Oh just some research for a project my partner Fitz and I are working on. Our professor asked us to do some work for extra credit, but I just find the job so fascinating, I had to stay and keep working." Skye smiles, the British accent incredibly cute. "And I presume you're new if you're lost already."

"Yeah just arrived. My S.O Ward thought it best to ditch me. He was supposed to show me to my room."

"Grant Ward as an S.O. I didn't know he had it him to volunteer, though I presume ditching you was the first of many. He's one of the most annoying out of all the students from operations. And the meanest." Simmons dusts some sort of goo on her jeans.

"He didn't exactly volunteer for the job. Think he was forced into it."

Simmons rolls her eyes. "Well no surprise there, he thinks he's all that just because he was one of the first to get an assigned mission." Skye remembers what Ward said earlier, about her being his first mission. "Which room are you in?"

"84." Skye says, remembering the number Coulson had given to Ward.

"Oh you have a singles dorm to, 84 is just a few doors down from mine, best of luck huh." The girl says in her accent. Skye smiles, happy that she could find a nice person this fast. But Skye knew that even the nicest people could have darkness hidden within.

The two girls arrive front of the room. "Here it is, happy I could help a new student. Though it is rather late to transfer, usually we never get new students a month late into this semester, and you are arriving at a rather late hour." Simmons puts a finger to her chin.

"Let's just say I have connections." Skye jokes, as if that's what really had happened. The girl Jemma smiles.

"Well good night." She waves and heads over to a door two down. Skye opens the door to her room. There was a bed and a desk. The bed had white blue sheets with a few t-shirts and pairs of pants folded nicely. Skye sighs. She checks the window to see if there is view, but all she sees is a wall. As if to remind her she's trapped somewhere else. Skye sits on the new bed and hugs her knees.

"While here's to trying something new."

Chapter 4 will meet Fitz and Triplett along with Skye getting a new last name. Review if you like the story so far, and I'm up for speculation and suggestions :D
