Chapter 2
~Alex's POV~
I woke up early that morning about 6:00 A.M. to get ready. I got my new school pants on and went to look for a t-shirt , I messed around my blonde hair to make it look a bit better, I walked past my mirror and stopped and I looked at my refection, I looked at my Athletic body, and I saw my old scars on my body... it scares me, I saw the three bullet shot scars near my heart, and some other scars. Sometimes I wish I never gotten evolved with this spy business, I wish I grew up normally like an ordinary teenage kid, not like an adult. Even looking at my own reflection I don't look like a 15 year old boy, I more look like I'm 18 years. I finally snapped out of my daydream when my actual alarm went off at 6:30 A.M. I finally put on my t-shirt, went down stairs made myself some crumpets, putted crunchy nut and butter on top, I turned on the TV and watched the News of anything new. Apparently the army will be arriving at M. today, this should be an interesting first day. I finally finished my crumpets and I pulled my bag on my back, wrote a note to Jack;
"Going to school, have a nice day, love you Jack
- Alex"
I left the note on the kitchen table and walked out of the door got on my bicycle and I was off. It took only 20 minutes to arrive to the school, I parked my bike to the ramp with the other bikes, I hooked the chain on it. I got my school application out of my bag and I walked to the office with difficulty, but some nice teacher had shown me the way, I gave the principle my file, it didn't take to long for him to get me my timetable. "So is the army coming today?" I asked. "Oh, yes its a special event on of the top 10 famous children is coming today, so some of the soldiers will be protecting him while some other army men will be teaching some of our students some basic skills." The principle told me. "What is your name sir?" I asked. "Oh, my apologize, I am the principle, Kenneth Flatley, just call me Mr Flatley." He told me. "Pleasure to meet you sir." I said. "Why thank you. Would you please follow me?" He asked. I nodded and I followed him to a classroom. He knocked on the door, "Hello Miss Templeman, you got a new student today." He told to the female teacher. "Oh why hello. I hope you fit in well with this school." She said. "Thank you ma'am." I said. "Oh why you sure have good manners." She said. I smiled. "Why don't you come on in." She said as she hold the door for me. "Class, we have a new student today, what is your name?" She asked. "Alex Rider." I said. "Alex, why don't you tell us a little about you?" she asked. I thought for a minute. "Um, there really isn't much to tell." I said while shrugging my shoulders. "oh, did you come here with your mum and dad?" She asked, that was an arrow to the heart. "No, my parents died when I was young." I said sadly. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, did you come here with an uncle or aunt?" She asked. Another pain in the heart. "I don't have an aunt, and my uncle was killed in a car accident." I said. "oh, are you an orphan?" she asked. "No, I live with Jack, my house keeper, she looked after me while my uncle was still alive. So she's like a big sister to me." I said. "Oh well, I hope you enjoy your time here." She said awkwardly. "thank you." I said and I sat in an empty desk. Then Miss Templeman went on with the lesson, which was biology which I already know. But I then hear some beeping noise, I look back and see a boy and his pencil's rubber was beeping red. He raised his hand. "Miss, I've got a football meeting with the coach." He said. "Alright Blaine off you go." She said then the one called Blaine got up and left the room in a hurry. Then a girl raised her hand. "Miss, I've just got a text from my parents saying my grandmother is in hospital and may not survive, but they suggested that I should talk to her to give her a fighting chance." She said. "oh, alright Daisy you can go and give you grandmother a call, hope she survives." Miss Templeman said, the one called Daisy left the room. Then another girl raised her hand. "Miss can I..." She stopped and paused to think of what she was going to say and she rolled her eyes. "can I go to the toilet?" She asked. "I thought you'll be interested in what we were going to learn next but off you go Rose." Miss Templeman said, then Rose did the same thing and left the room. something's not right with those teens. I thought. Soon enough the bell rang. We were all escorted to the front of the school. Where a few army men had gathered. Then the general step forward and commanded us to get into an army line, which we did so. I was in the back row. "Boys and girls, if you don't know me, I am General Scott, I work for the Special Air Service army or also known as SAS." He said. If you didn't know I spent 2 weeks training at the SAS before my first mission, the Stormbreaker. Then some shorter lady took charge and started shouting at us, which made me jump. Made everyone jump. Then we were divided into groups of four, I happen to be with Blaine, Daisy and Rose, at least I can get some information from them. We were was an obstacle course in front of us, it had some low rope, tyres, climbing ladders. I've done all of this its going to be easy. I went first, I flew through the tyres with ease, duck under the low rope with ease, climbed the tower with ease and I was at the finish line already. I looked back and everyone stared at me in awe, even the army men were in shock. "Wow, I've never seen a teen move fast as that before" said an army man behind me, I turned. "Wolf? Fox? Eagle? Snake?" I said. They looked at me. "Cub?" They asked I nodded. They cheered and ruffled my hair, giving me pats on the back, while I laughed. Then they stopped, I looked around again everyone was looking at me. This was an interesting day.
