Chapter 4

Skye got up the next morning rather early, which wasn't really getting up considering she had little to no sleep last night. Using the bathroom in her room Skye had a shower and got dressed in some of the cloths May had brought her. A plaid green shirt and some jeans that were a bit too big for her, "Lucky I wore a belt yesterday when they kidnapped me." She said out loud as she buckles the belt around her waist. She adds her jacket from yesterday to complete the outfit.

Skye gulps thinking of the word kidnapped. She hadn't been able to bring herself to say it in a while. It must have meant she'd been growing more distant of her past and she'd be able to move on.

Towel drying her hair Skye hears a knock at her door. She goes to open it only to find Ward. She frowns. "Well the robot returns." Ward goes past her not bothering to ask for permission to come in the room.

"Seems you made it to your room last night." He assumes.

"Not thanks to you"

"Look I'm sorry about last night, I was just angry because your bypassing a lot of protocols here. I remembered after that Headmaster Coulson makes the protocols so really you're not breaking any." He folds his arms. "But that doesn't mean I approve of a civilian coming to our school."

Skye rolls her eyes unamused. "Whatever, frankly I don't really want your help." Skye really didn't seem to understand this S.O position that Ward was supposed to have, I mean really he was just another body guard that shield had assigned to watch her every move. At least this Ward guy would be easy to get away from, and didn't seem all that into being with her.

"Well I brought your class schedule and am here to show you to the cafeteria."

Skye sighs. "Okay let's go than." Skye goes to throw her towel back in the bathroom and checks herself out in the mirror, using her hand to try and make herself look decent. It didn't exactly work. She sighs sadly.

Skye follows Ward through the halls passing all sorts of different types of characters. There were plenty of nerd, but there were also plenty of rough looking people to follow. Skye tried to determine who was a barbie or druggy or artsy type of person, but all the students were either nerds or jocks with no in between. "Great" Skye mumbles realizing how hard it will be to fit in here.

Coming into the cafeteria Skye gets in line while Ward hands her a card. "This is a shield card; Coulson stacked it with a certain amount of money and will add more each month. Use it to buy your meals and maybe some new cloths in our store downstairs." Ward begins to leave.

"Where are you going?" Skye asks, kind of hoping she didn't have to eat alone.

"I have a class that starts soon, and have already eaten." He doesn't bother turning around to wave and just walks off. Skye bites her lip.

"Fine, whatever than." Skye puts the card in her pocket and folds the piece of paper with her classes on it. Getting to the front of the line Skye grabs an apple and some yogurt not really in the mood for anything else. Skye looks around the room, the tables stacked with nerds and jockeys. No familiar faces. Skye finds an empty table and sits down. No one seems to look her way as she sits alone and digs into her yogurt.

Taking a bite of her apple a guy carrying a tray with the works of food on it comes to sit down across from her. He had a nice smile and a dark complexion. He digs into his scrambled eggs. "Ah hi." Skye offers as he takes a sip of his water.

"Hey, names Antoine Triplett, most people call me Trip." He offers his hand across the table.

"Skye." I greet as he shakes my hand. He smiles as he takes another bite into his meal.

"I saw you talking to Ward earlier, and was wondering how the new girl became friends with the world's biggest suck up to orders."

Skye chuckles. "He's my supposed to be my S.O or something. But he's not really doing the best of jobs."

Trip starts laughing. "That's rough girl." He chugs some more water and takes the last bite of his meal. Simmons comes later and takes a seat next to Trip with another boy sitting next to Skye.

"Morning Skye, hope you had a good sleep last night." Skye smiles at the familiar face of Simmons. "This is Fitz." Simmons greets.

"Hello." He says in an equally adorable accent. Skye smiles, seeing the genuine sweetness behind Fitz's eyes.

"I hope you've been welcoming Triplett." Simmons jokes.

"Ah you know me Simmons, the welcoming committee." The two laugh, and Skye spots a hint of jealousy passing over Fitz's eyes.

"So Skye where are you from, and what brings you to shield academy." Simmons asks. Skye opens her mouth to answer but a large shadow looms behind her.

"Skye." Ward says behind her. "Headmaster Coulson needs to speak with us." Skye turns around and sees his broad body.

"I thought you had class robot." Triplett tries to suppress a laugh from Skye's nickname.

"It was cancelled today." He says through crooked teeth. "Now hurry up so I'm not late for my next class."

"Right, talk to you guys later." Skye waves to the group behind her and gets up to follow Ward. "You know people around here don't seem to like you that much." Skye expresses. Ward keeps walking. "Do you even have any friends here?"

"My personal commitments are of no concern to you." He informs Skye.

"Ah so I'll take that as a yes." Ward stops in the middle of the path.

"Look Skye, I'm an agent, and being your S.O is not my idea of fun, so why don't you make this enjoyable by shutting up."

Wards threat doesn't faze Skye in the least.

"You're the boss robot."

Skye follows Ward to Coulson office. He's there waiting for them at a desk along with agent May leaning against the wall. Coulson passes Skye some paper. "What's this?" She asks.

"Your new identity." Skye looked at the title. Skye Kasey May. Skye looks over at May. "Has my long search come to an end mother?" Her voice high on sarcasm.

"Actually I'm your aunt. And on paper only." May points out.

"Well it's better than the name the orphanages gave me." Skye agrees, looking at Coulson for the explanation of the paper.

"Due to your circumstances Skye, and to not bring you unnecessary attention with the other students we thought May being a relative of your would make things more believable. Our school usually doesn't get late students." Skye skims over the document, mostly explaining a fake backstory.

The jist of what the paper said was 'Her parents were dead and she's been living under another relative named Jack for the last five years in Los Angeles, he recently passed away and her other relatives can't take her in at the moment so May was assigned as her guardian. Because of her job though Skye had to come to shield academy in order to be not left unattended.'

"Quite close to the truth, you know if you leave out the relatives part." Ward raises an eyebrow in curiosity but doesn't say anything. "So I have to maintain this cover I guess?"

"It's best for your safety." Coulson admits.

"It's easy enough to remember." Skye kicks the carpet underneath her feet.

"Good, you can return to class now. Though May will be assigned to check up on you every so often being your 'aunt' and all." Skye frowns. This was just another excuse to have someone keep watch on her. "Ward I trust you can escort Skye to her next class. At 4:30 your welcome to use my private gym to train." Coulson instructs.

"Private gym sir, are you sure?"

"Yes, now off to class you only have five minutes." Ward nods and Skye and him leave the room. Once in the hallway Skye sees the flock of students going to different lockers and what not.

Ward looks over at Skye, for the first time really looking at her. "Just who are you?" He asks. "You need to be protected and have no relatives. Are you on the index or something?" Skye remembers the index; but knows her name isn't on it.

"I don't have powers Ward, and my name isn't on the index. I'm just normal okay." Her face tries to look cheery. She didn't want Ward treating her differently.

"No one that Coulson pays this much special attention to is normal."

So there was chapter 4, hope you enjoyed. Fitz and Triplett got introduced and in the next chapter you'll get to see the different classes that Skye is in. AHHH IT'S TUESDAY TOMORROW! The best day of the week! Hopefully AoS does better in ratings, anyway review and maybe I'll post another chapter after I get home from school tomorrow :D
