Tony looked around the room. In less than twenty-four hours, he had become a spy again. And he had been partnered with two of the most dangerous people in the world who tried to kill him and his family. And they were sitting next to him in class. Here they were Alan and Orji. Tony fidgeted. How did he get himself into this mess?
Oh wait; it was all Jerry and WHOOP's fault. He looked at Alpha. He smiled at him happily.
"Excited?" he asked.
"Uh, more nervous," he said.
"Don't worry; Pshycowaz is only so much psycho. The rest is questionable though."
Tony cocked an eyebrow.
"What does he teach?"
"He is our acting instructor," said Omega.
"What?"
"This school is split two ways with the instructors. One is academic, but you are signed up for the online version of that so it won't conflict with missions and training. Two is the arts. Most people come here for that sole reason. So your classes will be acting, choir, band, art, and writing."
"And since we are your partners, we have all the same classes," said Alpha. With that a short man walked in. He looked strange. Large glasses. A pineapple with a straw sticking out of it. He had a humorous aura around him.
"Hello class," he said. He looked over at Alpha and Omega. He took a quick slurp of pineapple juice, "Thing one and two get up here. And introduce the kid you've brought with you."
Alpha and Omega stood up. The walked to the front of the room dragging Tony with them. They stood him up straight.
"Everyone," said Alpha.
"This is Tony," said Omega.
"Our new project buddy," said Alpha.
"Wrong," said the teacher.
"How so?" they asked.
"More emotion. More passion!"
They looked at each other and both hugged Tony at the same time.
"This is our new partner," said Alpha with a suggestive look on his face.
"Yes, and so we do hope you get along with him," said Omega. Tony felt disgusted. They acted nothing like he remembered.
"Fantastic," said the teacher. Tony couldn't make heads or tails of this guy. And he felt warm in the twins' embrace.
"Get off," he said pushing them away. They let go quickly and walked back to their seats. Tony followed. The class continued in this chaos. When the bell rang he followed Alpha and Omega (much to his dislike) to their next class.
"Where are we going?" asked Tony.
"Choir."
"Well not really a choir but it works."
"What do you mean?" asked Tony.
"We all work in groups and then we perform in our groups."
"You are with us so we'll be singing together."
"What's our song?" asked Tony.
"What do you want it to be?" asked Alpha. Tony looked at him. He hadn't been asked what he wanted in a long time. He pulled out his iPod and looked through the songs.
"I don't know," he said putting the ear buds in his ears. They had ten minutes till the next class. He just pressed play on whatever.
Tonight I'm so alone
This sorrow takes ahold
Don't leave me here so cold
(Never want to be so cold)
Your touch used to be so kind
Your touch used to give me life
I've waited all this time; I've wasted so much time
Don't leave me alone
Tony kept walking, unaware that tears were dripping from his eyes. It reminded him of his time in WHOOP. Heck, everything reminded him of WHOOP. Everything he enjoyed at least.
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone
I'm…
Falling in the black
Falling to the depths can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be
(Slipping through the cracks)
Can you hear me?
Falling in the black
Oh yeah. He'd fallen into the black depths long ago. He only wished he could get out. He felt a hand on his cheek soon another hand was doing the same. He had his eyes clothes so he didn't see who it was, or if it was a figment of his imagination.
(Slipping through the cracks)
Falling to the depths can I ever go back?
Falling in the black
Falling inside Falling inside… the black
You were my source of strength
I've traded everything
His siblings had no idea what he traded away to keep his memories a secret. The chance of having friends. A chance at a normal life that isn't filled with the fear an old enemy will attack him. He continued walking. He opened his eyes to see Alpha and Omega walking close to him. Sort of pushing everyone away.
That I love for this one thing
(Stranded in the offering)
Don't leave me hear like this
Tony felt as if he was walking to his death sentence.
Can't hear me scream from the abyss
Wish his siblings could hear his silent pleas to get him out.
And now I wish for you my desire
Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone
I'm…
Falling in the black
(Slipping through the cracks)
Falling to the depths can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Can you hear me?
Falling in the black
(Slipping through the cracks)
Falling to the depths can I ever go back?
Falling in the black
Falling inside Falling inside… the black
He pulled at his scarf. It felt like it was suffocating him. Like the darkness in the song.
Black, black, black
Falling in the black…
Slipping through the cracks…
Falling in the black
He looked at Alpha and Omega. They were talking to each other eagerly. The two friends and the observer. That's all he'd ever be.
Falling in the black
(Slipping through the cracks)
Falling to the depths can I ever go back?
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Can you hear me?
Falling in the black
(Slipping through the cracks)
Falling to the depths can I ever go back?
Falling in the black
(Can you hear me?)
Falling in the black
(Can you hear me?)
Falling in the black
(Can you hear me?)
Falling inside
Falling inside Falling inside… the black
He took out his ear buds. He looked over at Alpha and Omega who were grinning.
"What?" asked Tony.
"Oh we are just so glad to finally have a main vocalist," said Omega. Tony thought for a moment.
"Wait, who decided this?" he asked.
"Um. Quite frankly we both suck unless we're following someone and you have an awesome voice that it would be a crime to let it go to waste!" said Alpha.
"So as lead singer, you can pick a song that best features you!" they said together. Tony didn't know what to say. He never had a say in anything. In missions he was told what to do. At home he was given grunt work. At school he was given smart kids who did everything. He smiled.
"Just singing?" he asked.
"Well no," said Alpha.
"It's a whole performance. And the best groups get prizes!" said Omega.
"So we have to…," began Tony.
"Uh huh. DANCE!" they said together. Just then their watches went off, "Mission time Ton-ster. Don't worry. Phil will handle everything."
"Probably said we were diagnosed with ass cancer again. Then when we come back, say it was just an awkward mole," said Omega. Tony blinked.
"Ass cancer?"
"Cancer of the ass," Omega replied.
"It's our way of getting out of class and explaining to the agent teachers that we were on a mission."
The song was chosen by Bloody Alice so let's give her a round of applause!
(random clapping)
The song was Falling Inside The Black by Skillet
Please review and send me song ideas. I actually do listen people.
