A New Age, A New Team
Chapter 15: Caution To The Wind
"Where is she?" Noah sighed in frustration, as he sat a large table with a seat in between him and Tonya. This isn't like Sam to be late.
"Dunno." Tonya shrugged as she scribbled little doodles on the front of her history book. Noah glared at Tonya with his grey-blue eyes and then sighed. If Sam doesn't get here soon that means Tonya and I have to go ahead and work without her… Noah glanced at Tonya. And that's going to end with us blowing each other up.
The library doors opened up, Sam came running in, and she quickly headed back to the table where Noah and Tonya were sitting. "Sorry." She huffed as she sat down in between them.
"What took you so long?" Noah asked as he opened up his history book without looking at Sam.
"Lucas stopped by." She huffed as she opened her textbook also and began to flip to the section they were working on.
Noah, on the other hand, stopped in the middle of flipping a page and then looked over at Sam. "Lucas? As in Shocker from Chaos."
"The one and only." Sam smirked as she stopped on the page that they were getting information from.
"Jealous?" Tonya said without raising her head to look at Noah, though she was smirking as she continued to doodle on her textbook.
"No." Noah rolled his eyes at Tonya's comment, "I'm just wondering why Sam is so buddy-buddy with the enemy…?"
Sam sighed, "I have a good reason, and that should be a good enough reason for you Noah… Now can we please get to work?" She sighed as she looked at Tonya doodling and Noah was just staring at her.
It's not a good enough reason… "Fine." Noah sighed as he continued to flip through the textbook, until he was on the same page as Sam.
"Tonya, that means you too." Sam nudged Tonya who glared up at with her green eyes.
"Fine." She huffed before opening her textbook up to the right chapter.
"It's not going to kill you to try a little Sorenson," Noah mumbled as he rolled his eyes as he read over his textbook.
Tonya leaned forward and looked at Noah, "You wanna say it to my face Grissom, or just be a coward and mumble it?" She raised the eyebrow that was pierced at him in a challenging way.
Noah looked over at Tonya and smirked, "I said it's not going to kill you to try a little." He smirked proudly.
Sam rolled her brown eyes at the two. Here we go again… It was just a matter of time before they started up.
"I am trying, thank you very much." Tonya shot back.
"Not very hard."
Tonya was about to open her mouth to say something back, but Sam quickly interjected. "Look!" She shouted, making both Noah and Tonya look at her. "I wanna get this damn project done without you two bitching at each other every five seconds, alright?" Both Noah and Tonya glared at each other for a few moments, "Alright!" Sam shouted as she took a moment to look at each of them.
"Fine." Noah sighed as he looked back at his book.
"Whatever." Tonya rolled her green eyes and then went back to her book.
A few minutes passed in a tension-filled silence as the three of them work quietly. None of them said a single word to the others and they didn't even make a single noise either. They all sat in silence scribbling notes down on their pieces of paper.
Tonya reached into her messenger bag, pulled out a piece of gum, and stuck it in her mouth. After a few moments of silence, she began to blow constant bubbles and making sure, they popped loudly.
Noah gripped his pen tightly as he resisted saying something until finally he couldn't take it anymore. "Sam!" He shouted as he stared passed Sam at Tonya, but he spoke to Sam, "Sam will you tell Tonya to chew with her mouth closed. The people in China don't need to know she's chewing gum."
Sam sighed in frustration and set her pen down. She turned around to face Tonya. "Tonya? Can you please stop smacking your gum?" Sam really wasn't in the mood to force anyone to do anything at the moment. She had a good day today, but it was shaping to get worse.
"Will you tell Noah, it's a free country to do whatever the hell I please?" Tonya retorted.
"Yeah that goes for me to, so that means I could shut you up if I wanted to." Noah leaned over to Tonya.
"Oh yeah? Then do it. I dare you!" Tonya shouted back. Obviously, he forgot what my powers are. She smirked.
"Alright!" Sam shouted as she stood up above the two. "Either you two quit it right now or I'll make both of you shut up." She glared daggers at both of them. "Got it!" Noah turned away from Tonya and went back to his work, and Tonya stopped smacking her gum. "Thank you." She sighed in relief.
"Surprise, surprise, Miss Wilder taking control of things… again." A female voice said with an Australian accent.
Sam, Tonya, and Noah all looked behind them to see a young girl, who looked no older then sixteen, who had crimped dark brown hair, with red highlights, and brown eyes. She was dressed in a black mini skirt, a black cropped top, and boots. She had her feet up on the library table and they were crossed.
"Who's that?" Tonya leaned over to Noah and whispered.
"Lyndsey Tyler. Also known as Caution."
"Ah." Tonya looked away. Oh like that helps me
"Her powers are to become a werewolf." He whispered back.
"Oh." Tonya shrugged. Now that actually does help me.
Sam's brown eyes narrowed on the girl, "Lyndsey… I should have guessed." The girl, Lyndsey, smirked at Sam's comment. "Don't you have a moon to howl at or something?" Sam said coldly.
"Oh real cute Samantha," Lyndsey rolled her brown eyes at Sam, "make a werewolf comment… Real original."
Sam gritted her teeth when Lyndsey said her full name. "What do you want Lyndsey?"
"Nothing." Lyndsey shrugged as she picked the dirt out from underneath her fingernails.
"Then leave." Sam glared. "We're trying to do schoolwork. You know? That stuff you never do."
"Oh good comeback." Lyndsey said sarcastically.
"Whatever." Sam said as she turned back around.
"Watch out ladies and gentlemen. Samantha Wilder is on a roll." Lyndsey mocked.
Sam rolled her eyes and continued to work. Just ignore her. She wants to get a rise out of me. Sam kept reminding herself.
"Just like you had enough control to prevent Ghost from dying." Lyndsey smirked, and Sam stopped working and her eyes went wide. "Oh wait. You didn't."
Sam quickly pushed her chair back and stood up, "SCREW YOU!" She screamed as her brown eyes flashed yellow.
Both Tonya and Noah jumped out of their chairs and grabbed each of Sam's wrists. "Sam calm down." Noah tried to say to calm Sam down, but it was pointless.
Lyndsey smirked at Sam's reaction. "Hint a nerve Samantha?"
"SCREW YOU! COME HERE!" Sam shouted as she pulled against Tonya and Noah's grip to get closer to Lyndsey. "Let go of me!" She glared at Noah and Tonya. "Let me at her!"
Lyndsey took her feet off the table, gathered her things, and slowly walked out of the library waving to Sam above her head. "See you around Samantha." She said before leaving the library.
Once Lyndsey was out of the library, Noah and Tonya slowly let go of Sam's wrist. She snapped her wrist back to her and glared at them both, "What the hell is your problems!" She shouted at them.
"Sam you can't overreact…" Tonya sighed.
"Overreact? Overreact!" Sam shouted as she glared at Tonya.
"Sam, Tonya didn't mean it like that." Noah sighed.
"Whatever!" Sam shouted as she gathered up her belongings and stormed out of the library.
Tonya and Noah watched in silence as Sam stormed out and once she was gone, Tonya turned to Noah, "What was that all about?"
"Ghost. It's a really touchy subject for Sam." He sighed as he stared at the door where Sam left. "Just don't ask." He sighed as he gathered his things. "We'll work on the project later, alright?"
"Right." Tonya nodded, and then Noah walked out of the library. Ghost? She packed up her things, but she accidentally knocked her pen on the grounds. She bent down and picked it up, but she noticed a videotape on the ground where Lyndsey was sitting. She glanced around the library as she slowly picked it up to see if anyone noticed her taking it. What the? She slipped the videotape into her bag and quickly left the library, without looking behind her.
