One year down

(Oscar's foster home)

*7 am* Oscar's alarm turns on with some gentle music to wake him up. He opens his eyes a little to see the time, hits the snooze button and turns over pulling the covers almost all the way over him falling straight back asleep. His alarm suddenly blares out the loudest song on his iPod he jumps almost falling off his bed.

Just less two hundred school days and he keeps forgetting that he programmed his alarm to do that on the very first morning. He knew he was terrible at waking up so he made sure if he ever hit the snooze button then it would force him to wake up.

'I am so not going to miss that alarm everyday' he thought to himself hitting his hand quite hard on the off button on his alarm.

He sits up and stretches, he's sore and tight all over from the mission yesterday. He reaches across to get his iPod and gasps in pain, he pushes the covers off him to see a big bruise on his hip from where he got thrown into a wall.

He gets up and walks slowly over to the bathroom he stands in front of the bathroom mirror to see if there are any other bruise that have appeared overnight thankfully not he didn't want to go to school with bruises on his face or make on to cover them, they would both be too hard to explain.

He opens the cabinet so he can get two painkillers out of the packet and turns the cold tap on. He puts both tablets in his mouth and bends down to slurp up water from the weak steady stream of cold water. He stands back up so he can swallow properly and after he does he shakes his head quickly he hates having to take tablets like that he always preferred the capsules but Agent Parker got these ones, for an Agent who is meant to be taking care of Oscar he really isn't good at remembering simple things like that.

Oscar walked back to his room and sat on his bed just wanting to go back to sleep but he could sleep as much as he wants the next 6 weeks he needs to get ready for school now if he wants any time for breakfast. He suddenly shoots up to his feet.

'Last day mufti I need something to wear' he thinks

Then runs over to his wardrobe swings the doors on and starts pulling out all his clothes. He looks through all his t-shirts he doesn't want anything to smart he wants nice knowing Melody will see it and of course Rose and Carrie but not too nice seeing as everyone knows him as a scruff bag he grabs loads of t-shirts runs to his mirror and drops them at his feet holding them up against him one by one and throwing each one over his shoulders when he doesn't want it.

He finally picks one and grabs a pair of jeans, all his jean look the same so no need to look through them, he gets changed as fast as he can so he can see what he has chosen in the mirror he doesn't know it might not look as good when he's wearing it. He stands in front of the mirror looking at himself studying every part of his body making sure it looked good and not to smart.

He looks at the time 8:45 ok that's fine he combs through his unsurprisingly knotted hair and to finish off messes it up in a few places. He grabs his bag stopping at the bathroom to get the box of painkillers and rushed downstairs to make himself some breakfast before heading off.

*In first lesson*

Oscar is sat in his place on his own since Melody who sits next to him isn't there yet. This was one of the lessons where they had a set setting plan and Avril was placed the other side of the classroom behind Rose and Carrie.

Oscar is resting on his left arm doodling in his note book drawing anything that came to mind some even being some gadgets they were given over the year he thought that would be fine if anyone saw they wouldn't know what they were.

Melody walked in to the room knocking over some boxes by accident as she did the whole room went silent and looked at her and started laughing. She picked up the boxes as fast as she could Oscar could see she was going red as she covered her face and rushing to her seat beside him. Her long blond hair was loosely curled and pulled over on shoulder.

As she sat down everyone slowly went back to talking and making noise. She put her head in her hands.

"A very graceful entrance" Joked Oscar who is now sat up

She looks at him with a slight smile on her face trying not to laugh.

"Shut up you know I'm clumsy"

"I don't know how you can go far being clumsy and a spy surly they don't mix well"

"Just ask Frank you know how clumsy he is and now he's head of our department"

"Ok good point" He smiles and goes back to drawing.

Melody reaches over and starts jogging him and correcting him they start laughing and he's trying to block her but keep facing her enough so she can still do it.

Rose and Carrie are watching from the front of the other side of the classroom. Carrie turns back to face Rose.

"How do they not know they like each other it's so obvious" Carrie says shaking her head.

"I don't know I was in HQ with them yesterday when you were in gym and they started pushing and spinning each other around on the chairs then Oscar was making jokes and they were laughing like idiots"

"Do you think they know they just do this stuff to get close to one another" Carrie looks back at us for a moment still laughing but now sitting close both drawing in his book and talking

"They better be careful though boy girl friendships can get complicated when it's as close as they are I mean I heard them talking about things that happened when Oscar went to Melody's house and when they hung out at the shopping centre together or I think they sometimes train together"

Carrie looks at Rose.

"I'm sorry he's been round her house we haven't even been invited over"

"Carrie chill I think they got that close because they have lots in common I mean they are both in" lowers her voice to be sure no one but Carrie hears "witness protection"

"I guess but my question still stands do you think they know" She turns around and looks back over.

"I think they will realise when they are ready too" They both carry on looking over at Oscar and Melody

Mr Flatly and Mrs King walk into the class room and stand together at the front.

"Now everyone I as headmaster have decided that today in lessons we can just have either a film or just messing around but there are some rules…."

Mrs King cuts in.

"Rule one you must stay in your class rooms unless given permission to leave by your teacher as normal. Rule two no one is going home early. Rule three you are not to behave like wild animal no running around no jumping on things no shouting or screaming and rule four no mobiles out in lessons. If one person's breaks even one of these rules the whole class will have to go back to normal lessons for the day like I think we should be anyway"

"Erm yes well in this class you can do anything there's painting and drawing supplies or there's books or anything else you see or you can even just sit here and talk till lesson ends"

Before he can even finish the whole class start talking some are getting up to get paints and other things but Oscar and Melody look at each other than down at Rose and Carrie making sure they had the same idea.

All four agents go up to Mr Flatly one by one making an excuse to leave the room they all use the same excuse to get out of the whole day which is they want to sit in the library where they can read without so much noise which he allows and they all rush to the lift. Melody looks around to make sure no one is around to see then she slides the front of the light switch to the side and scans her thumb unlocking the door, they all walk in Carrie looks at Melody, Rose and Oscar to make sure they are ready and pulls the Broom handle.

The floor drops from beneath them, they all just see a very familiar flash of light changing them from their mufti clothes into their spy outfits, the lift slows down as it reaches the bottom the doors slide open and they all walk out talking.

"So Osc Caz you reached a milestone you survived your first year in M. how shall we celebrate?" Melody puts her arms around their shoulders.

"Well Mels I'm not sure anyway to celebrate except just relax for the day maybe take a nap" Carrie replies with.

Oscar starts nodding

"Yes nap sound so good but maybe later after lunch"

"ok so how about we all just do anything we want?" Rose asks

They all agree

"Wake me up at lunch" Carrie says as she leave the main area and goes into one of the rooms at the back to sleep, while rose goes over to her science desk to work of ideas for new gadgets she could build and Melody and Oscar to sit at the computers.

"So Mel what are you doing over the summer" Oscar asks trying to make conversation.

"Ummm I don't know I know Rose if going on this family holiday thing and Carrie's mum signed Carrie up for some kind of gymnastic training camp so I guess sleep eat and hang out with you if that's ok"

"Yeah course that's ok you know how much I love being able to get out of my house it will be nice not being spies for six weeks just being teenagers though we both know we will probably end up training in M.I.9 when we get bored"

"Oh yeah definitely"

They both laugh.

"Well Melody I think we all deserve a congrats for surviving a year with Mrs King" He rolls his eyes "I'm sure if she was a spy she could just shout at the criminals and they will surrender"

Melody laughs a lot at that.

"Yep that's probably true I just feel sorry for the niece she keeps mentioning I mean imagine growing up with that."

They start playing games on the computers and about ten minutes later Oscar turns to Rose to make sure she can't hear she always has her headphones in while working, he then turns back to Melody.

"Mel?"

"Yeah"

"I just thought I should say thanks you know for this year before I came here I was alone I didn't think anyone knew what I'm going through and then you come along and show me that there's always someone in the world who is like me. I didn't think at the start of this year that I would have a friend as good as you who has helped open me up to others a little more so yea thanks"

Melody turns in her chair and smiles at him then kisses his cheek and hugs him. She pulls off a little so she can see his face and puts a hand on his cheek.

"I feel the same I didn't know if anyone could ever understand what I felt at times but you do all the time and you're so willing to talk to me when I'm feeling those things even though I did have friends before this year I was still alone because no one knew the kind of things that I went through and go through until you so thank you so much you really have saved my life more times than I can count both physically on missions and emotionally off missions your even there if all I need is a hug"

She hugs him again and leans her head into his and she starts to feel him doing the same and they both secretly smile .

It feels nice and safe for both of them like if they stayed in each other's arms then nothing would harm them but it had to end so they pull off slowly.

"So errrrr I think I'm going to take a nap I don't think I'll last till after lunch so errrrr like Carrie wake me at lunch or anytime you just want to talk"

"Ok see you later Osc"

"Yea see you when I wake up" he walks away glancing back at Melody one last time before leaving the room.
