Chapter 5
Ward drops Skye off at her first class psychology which was taught by a Professor Sitwell. The class itself was pretty boring, and Skye never really had found an interest in psychology. None of the people she'd met at lunch today were in the class so she had trouble talking to anyone, and anyone she tried to start a conversation with avoided her. "Thanks" She mutters as she moves to a new seat.
After psychology she had History and Shield Coding. It was taught by Professor Hand, who Skye instantly disliked upon entering the classroom. Upon walking in Professor Hand knew Skye was new. "You must be the new student." She greets unpleasantly.
"Uh yeah."
"Well we're a good way through the course and you've missed two tests, expect to make those up later." Skye was glad she found this classroom early.
"Yes ma'am." Skye mumbles upon taking a seat at the back. Skye spots Simmons entering the classroom seconds later. Skye smiles when she sees her. Simmons spots her and gives a wave and takes a seat next to her.
"What a nice surprise." Simmons says. "Though I thought you were in grade eleven? You do have an S.O."
"Oh well it's just sort of to get me introduced to everything, but I am a Senior" Skye makes up on the spot. "But I'm happy we have the class together. This teacher doesn't seem the nicest."
"Oh Professor Hand, she's alright. Though if you get on her bad side she can be hard on you." Skye hopes that the few words she spoken to Hand weren't enough to get on her bad side. "Let me see what other classes do you have?" Skye passes Simmons her class schedule.
"Oh wow let's see you have Variety Sciences with me and Fitz next, oh and after that you have Self-defense and Weapons Training, I think Trip's in that. Let's see tomorrow you have Languages and Human Behavior with Professor Hill I don't think any of us have that. But anyway at least we have two classes together." Simmons smiles, her expression making Skye feel better.
"Do you like the school so far?"
Skye nods hesitantly. "It's sure different than normal high schools." Though Skye's normal high schools hadn't exactly been normal with her leaving half way through grade ten.
The bell rings and Hand begins her lecture. "Morning students I hope you've all read the assigned reading for the number codes. Let's see Hartley." She asks a girl sitting near the front. "What's a 9-7-3 stand for?"
"A civilian is near and you should proceed with caution or abort the mission." The girl looks strong, and seemed to have a high attitude like she knew everything but could beat the crap out of you.
"Good, how about code 1-2-9-7, Simmons." Simmons smiles with confidence already knowing the answer.
"It's a code for disobeying a direct order" Her words glaze over as if she said them straight out of a textbook. Hand's attention goes over to Skye sitting next to Simmons.
"How about our new student, surely a student who's missed the first month yet still passed the test for our academy knows every code in our handbook." Skye gulps. She didn't know any code, she didn't know any at all. These were just numbers, how was she supposed to know a code. "So Skye why don't you tell me what an 0-8-4 is code for."
Skye goes wide eye almost in complete shock. Simmons next to her seems to be pondering on the code and the others in the class are looking through their textbooks in search of the answer.
"So you don't know, I'm unimpressed—"
"Actually Professor Hand." Skye interrupts. "I do know it." Professor Hand raises her eyebrow, seeming to think she's bluffing.
"Well than do tell the class."
Skye remembers her past. The memory an awful realization and the thought of all of it makes her want to be sick. But Skye was moving on from her past, and proving this annoying teacher wrong was something that Skye would be happy to do. "An 0-8-4 stands for an object of unknown origin." Hand's mouth drops, in utter shock. She fixes her glasses.
"Class please turn to page 94 in your textbook, please read up on the following codes for your test two days from now." Hand goes and takes a seat at her desk giving Skye a nice glare. Skye realized it might have been better to have given the wrong answer instead of the right one. It seems she made Victoria Hand's bad side.
Simmons passes her text book over to Skye, opening it up so they can share. "Wow you must be smart, that code isn't introduced till the last chapter. I've read ahead so I knew it, but you haven't even read the textbook. Have you?"
Skye shook her head. "No a 0-8-4 is about the only code I know." Simmons raises her eyebrow in suspicion. "Ah because you know out of all the codes it's one of the strangest, I mean what even is an object of unknown origin." Skye tries to defend to save herself.
"I suppose your right." Simmons agrees. "But I mean there are some stranger ones. Code 5-1-0, a dog covered in chocolate, do we really need a code for that." Skye giggles, happy to laugh with a friend. It's something she hadn't done in a while.
After History and Shield Coding Skye had Variety Sciences. Skye walked with Simmons to class, which turned out to be the very class Simmons had been in last night. "Hey Fitz." Simmons greets coming in and spotting Fitz. He was standing with a very tall guy who made superman look puny.
"Hey Skye, meet Mack." Fitz introduces.
"Hi" he says in a deep voice.
Skye takes his hand and shakes it "Hi." Skye smiles as her hand reaches up. "Wow your tall." Skye remarks.
Mack laughs. "Yeah I get that a lot."
"Class take your seats, we're about to begin." The voice who says this sends a chill down Skye's back. Skye gulps as she turns around to see the woman in the flower dress.
"Oh, good morning Professor Raina." Simmons greets.
