Hi! I'm really sorry I have been updating less, recently but I lost my charger and my battery ran out so I had to find that first... and I have exams coming up, so I have been revising I also have a music exam too, so I have been quite busy. Sorry!
'You're right, that did cheer me up,'
I smiled and turned over to face him, both our legs were tangled in the sheets and the air was mixed with the smell of sweat.
I moved closer to him and he wrapped his arms around me, kissing my forehead.
'So, what did Cammie say?' I said, although it was slightly muffled against his chest.
'She just kept repeating that she didn't do anything, she looked so panicked me and Rachel decided to believe her. All of her emotions were showing, it was like she had completely forgotten all of what I taught her,' Joe said, whilst resting his chin on my head, I laughed gently.
'Wouldn't you be frightened if you thought you were the reason of the Code Black when you were meant to be taking an exam?'
'I seem to remember I was,' Joe said in an amused tone. I lifted my head to look at him.
'Dear, I think everyone has been the reason for the Code Black at Blackthorne sometime at their time there,' I said, with all seriousness but Joe just laughed.
'You looked stunning tonight Lucy, not that you never don't look stunning but tonight you really did look beautiful,'
'You really think? I thought that I looked just average like alwa,' i was cut off by Joe pressing his lips against mine, I immediately responded so he deepened the kiss. He rolled us over so he was on top of me. He parted his lips from mine and looked into my eyes.
'I don't just think, I know for sure that you are beautiful, so don't ever doubt yourself,' I just nodded, too shocked to say anything, Joe never brings out his soft side.
'Good, now then, where was I?' Joe said in a cheesy voice, just like those people in the movies you see, and leaned down to kiss me again. O f course, it would go a bit further than a kiss...
(Three weeks later)
Graduation day for us seniors! I don't normally get excited about these things, but come on, Graduation!
Me, Michelle, Katie and Gracie were currently getting ready, when a knock came at the door. I went to go see who it is. I was greeted by Chris and Matt, Chris looking excited and Matt with the goofiest grin on I have ever seen.
'GRADUATION!' Matt shouted, I laughed, and he was always this crazy. This year the faculty had decided that seeing that the Blackthorne boys are here, they might as well graduate here.
'YEAH BOY!' I shouted back and hugged him, not in an 'I-have-feelings-for-you' way, just a friend hug. I stepped back and pointed behind me.
'The girls are just there, go on, I know you want to talk to them,' I joked and Matt practically leaped across the room to Michelle and Chris walked casually over to Katie. I went to over to Gracie.
'You excited?' I asked her, we were currently standing and the side of the room watching the others talk.
'Yeah, and nervous,' Gracie said quietly.
'Don't be, you just have to walk up and collect something then walk off again, think about it as if it is your first mission,' Gracie turned to me.
'You've graduated before?' she asked in a confused. I shook my head.
'No, but I have done missions before,'
'Ah, of course, with the lovely Mr. Joe Solomon,' I grinned.
'Sure have,'
'Speaking of which, is that were you disappeared to after the Ball?' I tried to look sheepish.
'Maaayyyybe...' Gracie laughed.
'Oh my gosh tell me all!' I raised an eyebrow at her.
'You may not want to know all,' I whispered. Gracie's mouth formed a perfect 'o'.
'Cheeky!' she whispered back. I just shrugged.
'I got style, but listen the boys don't know so don't say anything, yeah?'
'Yeah totally, my lips are sealed,'
'Cheers,' I turned to the others, 'Come on you love birds,' at this Gracie snorted.
'A bit rich don't we think?' She murmured only loud enough so I could hear. I pretended to not hear and carry on.
'Lets, get a move on I don't want the all the good seats to be taken,'
We all headed out the door and I flicked Gracie and grinned at her.
'Watch it, I might do worse!' Gracie laughed and we ran to catch up with the others.
'Congratulations, Lucy LaFleur! Please come up,' a massive cheer went up from all the Blackthorne Boys and their teachers. I went up to go shake hands with the Director, Mrs. Morgan and the Gallagher Faculty.
'Thank you sir,' I said to the director, who just smiled and nodded.
'I hope to see on the top missions Agent LaFleur,' I grinned.
'Would never say no!' I joked then went moved to Mrs. Morgan.
'Thank you for having me this term,' I said politely.
'Not at all, you have been a... interesting student,' I shrugged.
'I get that a lot,' she chuckled and I moved on to the teachers. After a lot of 'you were a pleasure to teach' and 'shame you were only here for a semester' I reached Joe. Who looked so proud.
'Not bad Ms. LaFleur, not bad at all,' he said in his teacher mode whilst shaking my hand. Seeing as the whole school was watching I thought now would be the best time to hand his card and watch back. I pulled them out of my pocket and turned to the rest of the school.
'I think you will all remember the Ball, and if you don't then... what hope do you have? I joked, a few laughs were heard.
'At the Ball, we were given covers. Mine was to get 'revenge' on a man named Samuel Frosby, also known as Mr. Solomon,' I held them up and all of Blackthorne laughed. I turned to Joe, who looked surprised.
'Well, Mr. Solomon, I don't know whether you should be proud or shocked, that you got beaten by your own student,' I smiled and gave them back to him, then walked off the stage laughing. I didn't do all of that in spite, in case you're wondering. I just thought I better give them back. In case, he... wanted to tell the time or something...
When I got back to my seat, I winked at Joe. He was still in his shocked mode, but came out of it seeing as the next girl was going up to shake hands.
After what seemed like forever, all of the Blackthorne and Gallagher seniors had graduated and we were all on our way up to pack. I was chatting with Beth and a few other girls from my year when I heard somebody shout my name.
'Ms. LaFleur, may I speak to you for a moment?' I turned to face the Director and Joe, who had an almost... giddy look on his face.
'Of course,' I said politely, because once again, Madam Dabney was lurking and taking photos with her brooch. I turned to Beth.
'I'll catch up with you guys later,' they nodded and walked off.
'How can I help you?' The director looked at Joe then at me.
'Well, I'm sorry to deprive you of your summer holiday, but we have a mission for you and Agent Solomon here,' ah, that's why Joe looked giddy. I grinned, I loved missions.
'Of course, what is it?' I asked in a formal tone, on the contrast to what I was actually feeling.
'Come to my office on Tuesday morning at nine O'clock and don't be late, I will tell you both about it then,' I nodded and the director walked off murmuring something along the lines of wanting to speak to Rachel.
I laughed when I saw Joe's face, a massive goofy grin lit up his whole face.
'Looks like I'm stuck with you for the rest of the summer, shame I was hoping to get away,' Joe pretend pouted.
'Aw, but hey thanks for my watch and credit card, I was wondering where they had got to, I thought they had been stolen as Joseph Solomon DOESN'T lose things,'
'Welll...' I started.
'Oh come on! What have I lost!' he moaned.
'Keys, books, coat, the mission dog,' I started to tick them off with my fingers.
'Okay, fair enough, but the mission dog? No. It wasn't my fault a bird flew into my face,' I laughed.
'Right I'm going to leave now, this mission is getting to your head, and besides i think Mr. Smith wants to talk to you,' I pointed at Mr. Smith who was coming our way.
'Alright, I'll see you later,'
'Bye,'
JOE POV
I turned round and nodded at James.
'Good afternoon Mr. Smith,' James rolled his eyes.
'Oh drop the formality Joe,'
I laughed, 'Okay, sorry, but what can I do for you?' James shrugged.
'Nothing really, just came to see how you are, because you know, you are obviously head over heels in love with that girl,' I felt my cheeks go a slight shade of red. James was the only teacher in the school that knew about me and Lucy. And, seeing that he was an old Blackthorne mate, I knew he wouldn't tell anyone. I looked round to watch Lucy laugh and chat with some girls from her year.
'You're right there, James. You're right there,' I said almost to myself. 'But am I that obvious?'
'I'm afraid so, but don't worry you can't get in trouble now seeing as she doesn't go to this school anymore,'
It helps that we are excellent spies because otherwise anyone could that hear what we were saying would get a bit suspicious, but because we were good at what we do, no one would be able to understand or lip read what we were saying, they would just think we were two men standing in the Manicured Lawns of The Gallagher Academy having a nice chat, one hand in our pocket, the other hand holding a drink. (sorry about the strange amount of detail, but I wanted you to get the whole picture, by it being like one of those posh garden parties in the movies, where they stand under the trees in the shade and there is a light music in the background...)
So, I hear you are going on a mission this summer, with a certain someone?' James grinned at me, I just looked at him accusingly.
'Shush,' but he carried on, in a teasing voice.
'Oh, imagine the fun you will have! And not the type where you play in the garden fun the other kind of fun!'
'Again, shush,'
'And then when you have completed your mission, you can give her a 'little present', to celebrate!'
'Don't make me say it for a third time,'
'Oh, just think, you'll be the happiest man on earth, as you have the girl to satisfy your needs,' It was funny, until he started to go camp.
'Right, I'm going to walk away now, because you're creeping me out,' James laughed and waved me off.
I gladly took his offer an strolled over to the direction of Rachel, who was chatting with Professor Buckingham. Rachel saw me, and smiled at me.
'Good afternoon, Joe. Glad you got your card and watch back?' I smiled sheepishly, Rachel was an excellent head teacher, but she was also an excellent teaser.
'Oh haha, and yes, I suppose I am,' I turned to Mrs. Buckingham, 'good afternoon Patricia, how are you?'
'Oh fine, just watching James tease you over there, what was that about?'
'Just my graduation from Blackthorne,' I shrugged the question off with an easy lie. Rachel however didn't want the story to end there. She raised an eyebrow.
'Care to explain, and with fear of having to take a trip down memory lane, I might, in the nicest way possible, leave you two to your stories, sound good?' I didn't wait for a reply, I had been down their memory lane once, let me tell you, snore factor- 100. 'Excellent, lovely speaking with you,'
As I walked off I heard them laugh behind me, I decided to walk for a while round the Gardens, just get some time to myself. When you work in an all girls boarding school, you don't get time to have a quiet moment, oh god, I sound like an old man.
When I reached the woods, I heard voices, putting myself into spy mode I moved closer to the voices. Soon enough I got close enough to hear them clearly.
'Right, here is how it goes, I go in first and take out the people around her, then you go in and grab her okay?' the first voice said, it was a gruff voice. That I didn't recognise as anyone working at Gallagher.
Yes, what's the girls name again,' please, please don't be...
'Lucy LaFleur,'
Damn.
Review!
