Code Boy

Chapter Three: Newbies

Ms. McKellan walked gracefully towards the podium at the center of the staff table. She nodded gratefully for the silence that had overtaken the student body of East Arlington Academy for Exceptional Women. All of them, each and every face, of every color, shape, age, and size stared up at her.

Ms. McKellan smiled approvingly and started, "Good morning ladies, as you all know our East Wing is being closed down for the health of our faculty and students since the maintenance staff have detected over the last few days that there has been a acidic chemical evacuation in the labs next to it and the vent system could easily cause fumes to spill out into the hall. So I may ask, please steer clear of the East Wing until proper notice. We also bear some outstanding news. It seems we will be having-"

But she never got to finish her sentence, because at that split second the doors of the Grand Hall opened, those enormous mahogany doors opened, and hit the walls of the large dining room. Every pair of eyes -and that was a fair whole lot- turned and stared at the intruders. Gasps, giggled and mouths went slack as their eyes feasted on a large crowd of boys.

Yes, boys.

Of every color, size, shape and age. In the middle was a thirty-or so aged man who confidently walked to the headmistress.

The man nodded at the headmistress, she smiled and went on with her speech. The man stood obediently next to her, his hand waving lightly for the boys to begin walking in. They did, each spreading out to the appropriate areas.

Sharpay turned and watched as they stood against the empty tables at the end of the Junior table. She rolled her eyes, explains the empty plates and tables.

Heads turned and girls whispered furiously to each other, pointing out each boy; each equally potential of killing but also dating.

The headmistress cleared her throat, demanding each pair of eyes in the room. Granted, that's what she got. "East Arlington Academy for Exceptional Women has had such a proud history…" She paused for effect. The man next to her beamed at the incoming words. "That we would like to add to it. For more than a century, this institution has been only excepting many of the next exceptional and bright women of our next generation. Even now, bright and exceptional men. And since our brother school, Grand Carnegie Hall is under remission of being discovered. We have come to a decision of adding gentlemen to our fair academy. We welcome you with graceful arms and light smiles. We hope you like your new home and here is Dr. Jake Lemoore, Dr. Lemoore-"

The man next to her coughed and Sharpay finally analyzed his face. He was a squat man, fairly pale, nicely rounded face with light features. He was hard to actually comprehend that he was an ex-CIA.

Ms. McKellan turned as Dr. Lemoore spoke. "Dr. Jake, if you please."

Ms. McKellan looked taken aback before composing her posture in a mili-second and nodding, "Of course, Dr. Jake."

"Dr. Jake and his students have come a long way from their home, They will be spending the remainder of the year with us and most promisingly next year." She said, turning to face the students.

"They will be attending your classes, eating beside you at meals, sleep-" She caught herself and smiled kindly, at this whispers grew slowly in the Grand Hall before being quieted down by Mr. Wellston. His new stern face immediately scaring the newbies and some of the sophomore class.

At last, Ms. McKellan smiled kindly, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a wonderful opportunity to forge friendships that can carry you throughout life maybe in another also." She finished and an arouse of small applause broke out from the staff to the students.

Gabriella turned her head left to right, her eyes bright at the sight of all the boys. Taylor quietly began taking dainty sips of her orange juice. Kelsi hadn't even batted an eye let alone maybe even heard anything that had happened in the past ten minutes since her ears were clearly plugged with the anti-sound plugs and judging by the dozen of note cards in her hands she clearly didn't care.

Sharpay bit her cherry pink lip, her hand poised on her spoon like a weapon as Cindy Lauper nudged her and divorted Sharpay's eyes to the boy at the end of the table.

"I so wouldn't mind being bonded with him."

Sharpay looked on, her eyes narrowing; her heart began to beat faster not only did that boy look so familiar with his brown hair and blue eyes.

That boy was staring at her, his body leaning against the table.

His eyes brightening at the seconds that ticked by.

But most of all he was smiling.

Smiling that god damned 'I-know-something-you don't' smile.

A smile Sharpay had used way to often and was suddenly coming back to haunt her.

. . . . .

Almost an hour later, Sharpay was clutching her books to her chest as the sea of girls and boys smashed her sides, all of them walking in different directions to any of the hundred of corridors in the castle. Her body turned and followed most of her classmates to their ICS (International Commentary Studies).

Everyone gathered into their seats as Mr. Roberts closed the door behind him. Every girl in the room barely paid their minds to him as he asked common questions in the simple language of Farsi. Each mind was on the pair of extra chairs in the back of the room. All asking the same question, Where are the boys?

And just suddenly that question was answered with the knock on the door. Dr. Jake appeared and smiled brightly, "Hello- hello! Good morning, ladies." Each body in that room suddenly bolted upright and smiled, eyes dazzled with eagerness. Sharpay watched in amusement as her classmates fooled themselves as four boys entered the room.

Mr. Roberts stared, impatient. "May I help you Dr. Lemoore?" He turned away as Dr. Jake cringed at the name.

"Dr. Jake. Oh, I am here to bring these fellow boys to your humble class. Shall we have the boys introduce themselves?"

"Wijfje." Mr. Roberts sweared in Dutch as he rolled his eyes, waving his hand as he sat on the edge of his desk. "I know, you must have learned that ours is an occupation where names are clearly temporary until further change." He sighed, as he looked over the boys. "If they must, they shall…"

Dr. Jake smiled and clapped his hands together. "Excellent!" He stepped back and pushed a rather skinny boy with darkened black hair and wide-rimmed glasses up front.

"Hello…I'm Kyle," He said, nervously as his eyes darted from girl to girl. Gabriella giggled as Taylor and Kelsi overlooked the boy and went on to taking notes. Sharpay leaned in her seat as she looked over Taylor's shoulder at the paper Taylor was so obviously trying to hide.

Ohmygod! That boy is so cute, his hair is like so cute. It's so puffy like a poodle.

But he looks so adorable with it.

His skin is like the perfect color of chocolate. I wonder what's his name…

Sharpay leaned back and bit her tongue to stop her laughter from coming out.

"I'm seventeen. I'm a sophomore-"

Mr. Roberts interjected quite annoyed now, "Thus your enrollment in this class, welcome. Have a seat." He took a huge pile of papers off his desk and started to hand them out.

Dr. Jake smiled brightly, "Excellent job, Kyle. Just excellent." He turned to the group of girls sitting daintily in their seats. "Kyle is in our research track of computer and chemical study. I don't suppose any of you lovely ladies wouldn't mind in giving Kyle, here, a show around?"

"Baise!" Kelsi exclaimed/cussed in French, her note cards flying up into the air. Her exclamation probably had less to do with the fact that she was eager to show Kyle around than the fact that Gabriella had kicked the back of her chair (hard). Gabriella grinned, her head settling in the palms of her hands. Kelsi whirled around and glared at her, but with the face of an angel Kelsi couldn't pull it off as a threat too much.

Dr. Jake didn't bat an eye at the incident since he directed Kyle towards the empty seat next to her and said, "Excellent!

"Kyle you will be spending the day with Ms. …" He trailed off.

"Neilson, Kelsi Neilson."

"Excellent. Now, Chad." He turned to a afro-boy, his chocolate brown skin and matching eyes caused every girl to sit dreamily in their place.

He waved, "I'm Chad. Sophomore. Deathly good-looking." Taylor giggled, as Julie Kenneth and Luanne Parks sighed.

"Anyone…" Dr. Jake started. Taylor immediately raised her hand.

"Excellent. There you go, Chad."

Chad slid into the seat next to Taylor and extended a hand. "Chad Danforth."

She blushed, "Taylor McKessie."

Dr. Jake pushed yet another student in front of him, this time it was a blonde. A blonde with a nice dark blue fedora hat perched on his head. He smiled, darkly to the girls. Some faltered in their seats at his eyes, the intense green of them.

"Rulin. Ryan Rulin." He winked, smiling as most of the class smiled back at him. His body also captivated him as he waltzed his way to the seat next to Gabriella.

She winked and swayed her hair, just like the girls in the hair commercials. Sharpay watched her mouth agape, as long as she knew Gabriella; she so did not know Gabriella knew how to do that let alone knew she had contact with boys unlike herself.

Sharpay smiled smugly at the last boy then frowned, her eyes blurring at the sight of him.

Brown shaggy hair. Blue electric eyes.

He didn't even wait for an introduction from Dr. Jake; instead he walked to the back of the classroom -where Sharpay was- and sat down -in the seat next to Sharpay- and smiled.

"I'm Troy." He smiled as he turned his head and looked at Sharpay. "And I say, I think I've found my guide."

Sharpay looked at him and she could've sworn her eyes just met the devil's.

"Rien, internautes novice." Her French accent thick. Damn, newbies.
