"Ugh! School sucks!" I groaned as I slammed my tray full of food down on the table Marina just lead me too. Apparently it was The Unbeatable's table since it was directly in the middle of the large cafeteria. Already sitting there was Misty and Ash, who had become friends during the morning periods, and May, Drew, and Jimmy. I smiled at them all briefly before I sat down across from Drew. There was a collective gasp then heard by the surrounding tables and by the guys at our table. I looked at everyone in confusion about what happened until I felt a presence behind me. I turned backwards and saw Paul staring down at me with an unreadable expression.
"Um, can I help you?" I asked, completely unsure of this situation. He just narrowed his eyes at me before replying in an icy cold voice, "Yeah, move Your in my seat."
I scoffed at that and turned back to my lunch while replying nonchalantly, "There about 6 more chairs at the table. Pick one of those, cause I'm not moving." There was a second gasp heard now but it was louder so I think more people were now eavesdropping on our conversation. By that time Leaf and Jordyn had shown up with Cody and Gary and they were all watching this scene take place before sitting down. I felt as though I was on display for the whole world as everyone watched me but I was determined to keep my cool demeanor.
Then the next thing I know, Paul has set his tray down beside mine and before I could even blink, he had lift me up by one arm and sat in my seat. He then switched our trays around so now his was where mine was at moments ago. I was in shock for a few seconds as a collective "Ooh" was heard around the cafeteria.
I had no idea what had taken over me but I refused to let him win, so the next second he turned back to me to cross his arms and smirk at me I put back on my cool demeanor that I had lost momentarily and I plopped myself down on his lap and pushed his tray out of the way and pulled my tray full of french fries back towards myself.
I had literally shocked everyone speechless momentarily. No one made any sounds or noises for at least three second, they all just stared at me in shock as I tried to eat my french fries as calmly as possible. Then after about three seconds everyone seemed to come alive again.
"Troublesome what are you doing on my lap." Paul asked me in a calm tone but you could definitely hear a dangerous undertone to it.
I smirked and shrugged my shoulders as I ate another french fry before saying, "Well I was sitting here first, and since you are so bent up about the chair then we'll sit together on it. Now do you want a french fry?" I laughed at the end as I felt him stiffen up underneath me. The guys were trying to refrain from laughing as Misty and Leaf stared at me with gaping mouths while May was shaking her head.
Jordyn sat down then on my right and smiled evilly at me before slyly adding, "Gee Dawny, you sure look comfortable over there. How about you Paul, aren't you happy to have such a pretty girl like Dawny on your lap." She topped off her statement by adding in a sly wink. Cody, who sat beside her, laughed at her comment before Paul sent a deadly glare at him and he shut up.
"Troublesome, I am only going to say this once. Get off my lap and find another seat before you regret it." Paul threatened into the back of my head as I smiled and turned my head back to face him as I shook my head no.
"And I am only going to say this once," I threatened sounding sweetly with a dark undertone to my voice, "I am not going to move from this seat until lunch is over. So I suggest that you either suck this up or you go find another seat or else you will regret it." I then turned back to my tray and continued to calmly eat.
"Sooooo how bout those classes? A real bore right?" Leaf hesitantly suggested trying to get the table to stop focusing on mine and Paul's arguments.
"Really Leaf? That is the best ice breaker you could come up with?" Misty joked as she stared down her younger sister who sat on her left.
"Well I can't think under pressure! I blame Jordyn for making the situation even more awkward than it was!" Leaf defended as she pointed at Jordyn who smiled and shrugged.
"What I just asked a simple question? And didn't you wanna hear the answer too Drew." Jordyn as sweetly as she fluttered her eyes innocently at him. He blinked shocked for a few moments as everyone turned to hear his answer. I finally caught on to what the girls were doing. They were passing on the conversation to try to keep mine and Paul's argument from escalating.
"Um, uh sure I guess. It would be kind of funny..." Drew hedged around the question, "What do you think May?" He then passed all the attention to May. At first she got nervous under all our stares until she looked in my eyes and I sent her a determine look, not to back down.
She then squared her shoulders and loftily said, "Well that is definitely something we all would like to know the answer to. Don't you agree Marina?"
"I would rather want to know why Paul has let Dawn sit on his lap for so long?" Marina replied slyly as all attention went back on me and Paul.
I smiled smugly as wiggled in his lap to get more comfortable before saying, "Because he feels like a boss with me on his lap, ain't that right Plumhead?" I asked sweetly as I batted my eyelashes up at him as he narrowed his eyes down at me. He was about to say something but Gary cut him off with his laughing.
"I'm sure that's the exact thought going through his head right now!" Gary snickered out causing everyone else at the table to laugh as I beamed at Paul's scowling face.
"And yet he still doesn't push her off!" Jimmy declared as Paul sent his glare Jimmy's way, making him shrink back in his seat in fear. Hmm, his glares are quite impressive, they are even making Misty shrink back in her seat and Misty is the best at intimidation. Thank god I can't see his face for I can't show fear.
"Fine." Paul grumbled as he locked his hands around my waist and started to lift me up. I quickly turned around so I was facing him on his lap before he could lift me up. This was a completely awkward situation for now I was straddling him but I refused to lose my cool. I saw surprise and a hint of a blush on his face for a moment before it went back to his cold demeanor.
"Now didn't I say I was sitting here for lunch, Plumhead? I recall that I did and I intend to keep my word so if you don't mind I am now going to finish my lunch, with or with out you sharing this seat." I replied loftily as I twisted back around to see everyone staring at us again. Well everyone except Jordyn, who had a proud smile on her face and sent me wink. I smiled then batted my eyelashes at them as I continued eating my french fries. I was actually almost done with my food.
"Dawn you are just a little fireball aren't you?" Cody finally joked, breaking the ice for everyone else as they all made their own jokes. I just continued smiling and eating my fries after I thanked him. About two minutes later I had finished my fries with about ten minutes left of lunch. I also saw May had finally finished her mountain of food that she had got at the lunch line.
"Hey May wanna help me find the Home Economic class?" I asked while standing up and grabbing my tray. She nodded and stood up to but before she and I left the table she asked, "Does anyone else have Home Economics with us?"
As she knew Drew smirked up at her and said, "Why yes, Airhead, I do. So does Paul. Do you girls need help finding the class?" Drew offered as he stood up also with his tray. May frowned at him before, My name is May! M-A-Y May, get it right grasshead!"
"Whatever you say June." Drew replied loftily as he lead me and May away from our table causing me to laugh as she fumed and scolded him some more. In a weird way, I think he liked teasing May and getting her mad.
Before we were out of hearing distance I heard Cody make a comment, "Well I for one had a great lunch. How about you Paul, didn't you find this lunch fun?" I then heard a thud and a loud "Ow!" causing a large amount of laughing.
I smirked at how fun lunch had gone for me. It was actually fun doing this. Now I know why Jordyn is so good at it.
Well the rest of the school day went as I predicted. In Home Ec class May got partnered with Drew and I got Paul. May even put in an effort of seeing if I wanted to switch which I declined. The only good thing about it though was that Marina and Jimmy were also in that class and that sat at the table in front of us and Drew and May sat behind my table. Paul made it his personal goal not to say anything to me the rest of the day other then "Troublesome idiot."
So let's just say I got a warning for yelling in class. Well at least the teacher was nice and just gave me a warning. I believe his name was Mr. Brock. He didn't want us calling him by his last name cause he wanted us students to be more comfortable around him but school rules made him have the Mr. in front of his name.
Then in seventh period Misty, Ash, and Gary all got detention for arguing with each other during class. May and Drew got a warning though in that class for fighting. Ms. Fantina was not at all pleased by the boys today since more boys got in trouble than girls and May made up for her mistake by excelling in the reading roles we were given to do in class today. Leaf also rocked at it while Misty said her words in the most boringest way possible just to piss off the teacher. So Marina, Jordyn, and I had to do some clean up and redeem the Unbeatable girls name in her class which landed us back in her good graces. The boys did okay acting and Drew was really good at it, on competition with May really.
And then there was the Free Battling period with Misty and Ash battling each other, May and Drew having a contest on who could do better contest appeals-it was fairly even between though two- and I practiced battled Marina and her Misdreavus against my Infernape. It got to be a pretty heated battled and we both landed pretty good attacks before Marina finally called an end to the battle. I was very impressed with her and I saw most of the other students had been watching our battle, including Paul.
But once that period was over the girls and I rushed back to the dorm before the boys got there. Then we dragged Misty, May, and Leaf into Jordyn, Marina, and mine bedroom and shut and locked the door.
I then quickly explained the situation about how Marina knew everything in is now part of our plan and such and they all were quite happy and really liked Marina. Now we were sitting in our room trying to figure out our next move in the plan.
"Okay so first we need to bug the boys' rooms. Now Marina, do you know the sleeping arrangements for the boys?" Misty asked and Marina nodded her head before answering.
"The boys' rooms are on the other wing upstairs. We are on the left so they are on the right. Drew, Cody and Paul all share a room since those three are really close both in personalities and getting along. Then Gary, Ash, and Jimmy share the room beside theirs since those guys are more laid back. Now I can get Misty and Leaf into the boys' room right now if they come with me, but I'm sorry but I have no ties really to get you in the other rooms." Marina confided.
"Oh don't worry about that! I can get us in!" Jordyn added in a suggestive tone and a sly wink. "You three go grab some bugs and go plant them in the idiot boys room. I'll get these girls prepped to go into the leader boys room."
"Okay! Come on girls, let's go!" Leaf replied happily as she shot up from where she was laying on my bed and skipped over to my small suitcase I had yet to unpack and pulled out a handful of microphone bugs and handed them to both Misty and Marina. She then practically pulled the girls out the door as she skipped away singing a goodbye to us.
Note to self-Cut back Leaf's sugar.
"What are you going to do to us?" May asked cautiously, almost afraid of her youngest sister's answer. She just smiled wickedly and announced, "Makeover!"
I actually don't mind her makeovers but she tend to go overboard with May just because she knows she hates makeovers. So before we had to go through that ordeal again I quickly said, "No going overboard on May and keep it casual and not slutty."
"Oh I got it, we are on a time crunch. Now May first!" Jordyn shouted happily as she pulled her towards her closet.
Surprisingly, 15 minutes later and we were all changed into what Jordyn deemed as casual. May had on yoga pants with a red belt and a gray tank top and threw her hair in a messy bun. I was blue knee-length sweatpants with "Amazing" running up the sides of the pants and I had on a semi-tight v-neck pink shirt with a white Cami beneath it and had my hair thrown up in a high ponytail. Jordyn looked cute in her purple zebra-stripe shorts with "Boss" written on her butt and was wearing a black tee-shirt with a few purple hearts in the bottom corners. She wore her hair down but ruffed it up a bit so it gave her a more relaxed look. We all wore short brown ankle boots as we walked over to the boys' room with a small handful of bugs each in our shoes.
Once we were over to the boys side we immediately knew which door was theirs because I could hear Ash and Misty laughing through the other door. Jordyn then turned back to us and whispered, "Stay confident. If you need help look at each other for help. We have gone through worse so we can do this. May just be the great actress I know you are and Dawn be as confident as ever. I will be as flirty as always so no worries there. We can do this." She then reached over and opened the door then knocked on it. Of course she would do it that way.
The boys were lounging around their room with Cody and Drew sitting in bean bag chairs while playing a war game on their Xbox and Paul was lounging on the long black couch with his laptop and a notebook that he quickly hid out of sight the second Jordyn opened the door. All three boys then turned to stare at us at Jordyn swept across the living room as though she owned the place before plopping down on the huge beanbag chair Cody was on and then took his controller and quickly resumed playing for him and killed Drew. That seemed to wake up the boys.
"Loser!" she chanted as the game ended with Cody with more kills as Drew glared at her then looked at her questioningly.
"Unfair cause Cody would've lost without your final kill and why the heck are you three in our room?" Drew shouted out as she shrugged her shoulders and stuck out her tongue at him as I walked in the room with May trailing behind me as I casually add, "Well Misty, Leaf, and Marina ditched us and went to hang out with the other guys while we changed into more comfy clothes. So we can over here to find something less boring to do." I then plopped down on the couch on the opposite side as Paul and shot him a cheesy smile as he rolled his eyes at me. May then timidly sat down cross legged across from where Drew sat on the floor.
"Why not follow them to the other guys' room?" Paul asked as though he was speaking to three years old and although he asked us all he narrowed his eyes as he waited for our answer.
"Well Paulie darling, you are not very interesting but Drew and Cody are. They at least know how to have fun." I then smirk at him as his glared intensified as I flipped my hair blatantly at him and turned to the two boys on the floor. "So how 'bout it boys? Know any fun things to do?"
"I can think of a few things but the question is, how big of rule breakers are you?" Cody asked as he turned to each of us in stride before May cockily added in, "What are rules if not made to be broken? Plus we love a good challenge."
"Alright follow us, Paul you coming?" Drew asked as he and everyone else on the floor got up also. he only two still sitting were Paul and myself and I sent a challenging glance to him which I am sure he saw before he turned back to Drew and replied, "Someone has to make sure you don't screw up badly."
I then stood up as did he and Cody made a ssh sign before leading all six of us out their living room and back into the hallway. We then snuck pass the other guys' room and we could still hear them talking loudly inside. We then reached the end of the hallway to a large balcony that lead outside. We then walked outside and Paul shut the door after everyone was out on the balcony.
"Okay so first step in Operation Fun is getting the heck out of here, so get out your best flying pokemon." Cody announced and we all then started calling out our flying types.
Drew called out his Flygon, May called out Beautifly, Paul called Honchkrow, I called out Togekiss, and Cody called out Pidgeot. Jordyn just stood there while swaying back and forth on her feet while we all looked at her.
"What, I don't have a flying pokemon." Jordyn confessed as we all nodded at her.
"Then you'll ride with someone and May you can't ride a Beautifly so you might as we put it away too and ride with someone also." Drew pointed out as May patted Beautifly before putting it back in it's pokeball.
"Okay who are we riding with then?" May questioned as she crossed her arms against her chest as she stared down everyone else.
"Pidgeot can carry one of you. Um Togekiss can probably not hold more than one person, no one wants to ride with Paul, you no its true don't give me that look, so I guess one of ya have to ride with Drew." Cody told us as May and Jordyn shared a look as though seriously contemplating who to go with although all three of us knew they would go with their assigned boy. So as expected Jordyn walked over to Cody and May to Drew.
"Okay can I sit up front?" May asked as she was about to climb on Flygon and Drew looked at her impatiently and asked why. "Cause I like riding with the wind in my face. It's a lot more fun."
"Only an Airhead would think of a reason like that... fine climb on June." Drew sighed as though tired of her as May glared at him before effortlessly climbing up on Flygon and situating herself in front of Drew who then wrapped his arms around her to hold her down to Flygon as he commanded it to go into the air. Paul and I followed their leads and we climbed onto our pokemon who then flew up in the air to join them as Jordyn and Cody argued on who sat up front on Pidgeot. Finally Jordyn won and Cody did the same thing to secure Jordyn down as they joined us in the sky.
I then shouted over to the others, "What's next?"
"Separate and meet up at the rendezvous point!" Drew shouted before he had Flygon speed off in one direction and Cody flew in another direction.
Only Paul stayed behind so I turned and shouted to him, "Where do we go?"
"God Troublesome just follow me. I know where we are going." Paul sighed as he and Honchkrow took off and Togekiss and I followed in tow as Paul led us past the school and to a wooded area on the outskirts of town. I was confused as he started landing into a small clearing and I had Togekiss also land down in the clearing. I then returned Togekiss once we landed down before turning to Paul who was carefully watching me. I looked around and saw none of the others were here and I turned cautiously back to Paul.
"Where are the others." I asked in a small voice as I turned back to face him as he coolly replied, "The same place you will be."
"And that is where?"
"You'll see them soon enough, so tell me whats your great plan Ms. Elite Agent. I am so curious as why you five girls were sent into an assassins den. Unless you really pissed them off then you are just asking for your death wish."
"W-what do you mean? Who are assassins and what is an Elite Agent?" I tried to maintain innocence as I played dumb as he took measured steps towards me as I backed up. This is not good, not good at all. How is our cover already blown.
"Don't play dumb. We knew ever since the mission was brought to attention to your Father Norman Maple about sending his girls in on a new mission. See you may have spies in The Agency but we have far better spies in The Elites. It was actually one of our spies that presented your dad with this mission. So we knew all along you girls were coming. So stop playing dumb Dawn and I may spare you by giving you a quick death instead of a long one just tell me what you're real mission was because our spies are saying Norman changed the plan last second."
My mouth literally dropped open. We had been set up and set up badly. Crap what about the other girls. What about Leaf and Misty. If they touched them I would kill every freaking assassin I saw. I then regained my composure as he stepped closer to me now there were less than five feet away from us and I did not like the fact I was now up against a tree as he kept advancing on me.
"Careful who you threaten, it may come back to bite you in the ass." I tried to muster up confidence I did not possess at the moment.
"We'll see now are you going to tell me like a good girl and or will I have to make you tell me."
"I have never played good before so why start now. And you won't get any of us to break. Misty and Leaf are probably out looking for us right now so watch your backs." I threatened as I started to advance towards him.
He then pulled out his phone and said, "I press one button and Ash, Gary and Jimmy are all supposed to detain a girl. It wouldn't be that hard either. You girls made our job very easy by separating yourselves from each other. We knew you stood a chance together, but separated. You all are nothing." Paul threatened as his eyes took on a darker tint as he hoovered his fingers over the phone's keys.
"I'll deal with you then. Misty and Leaf go free and untouched and May and Jordyn too if they haven't killed their boy already as long as I talk. I am the leader on the mission so I know exactly whats going on. Only I have to die." I try to persuade and I think Paul was considering it but then his phone rang and without his cold, deadly eyes ever leaving mine he answered the phone.
"Yes Commander?_ I have their leader with me as we speak._ No she hasn't said anything yet._ But sir no, it won't work._ These girls are trained though sir._ I erg you to not to._ Yes sir I will tell the others. Goodbye sir." He then hung up his phone leaving me puzzled on his conversation as he then quickly typed up a text message and then put his phone away. While he was typing I tried to make a break for it by turning to run into the woods but he called out a Electrive and I stopped cold in my tracks.
"Don't run away if you know whats good for you." He threatened as I turned back to face him.
"So what did the big C want? Other than to disagree with you." I asked as I tried to pry as much information as I could out of him as I realized I still had all the bugs on me and I was recording this conversation. Hopefully this information will go back to my parents and the Elite Spies.
"You." He plainly states before telling Electrive to wrap me in his electric tentacles. He then lifted me off the ground as I felt a small shock run through my body at contact with the electric type pokemon. I tried to struggle in them but it was both clear it was stronger than me and I started to feel effects of paralysis.
"Actually he wants all the girls back at the Agency, including Marina. Apparently you six are do for a new mind altering. Soon you'll be exactly what the Agency needs. Ex-Elite Spies working for the Agency, that will be a new one." he sneered up at me as I struggled even more to break free causing Electrive to shock me more violently until I stopped struggling
"I will never work for you assassins and neither will any of the other girls. You disgust us and we stand for everything you are against. We will fight you tooth and nail. We will never become assassins." I spat out at him as he came closer to my upraised figure that was hanging limply from Electrive's tentacles.
"We'll just see about that then shall we. Electrive, knock her out but don't kill her... yet."
And with that the last thing I saw before I fell into blackness from the shock was Paul's smirk and the look in his eyes as I was shocked. That look will be something that would haunt me for the rest of my life, no matter how short it may be. And upon seeing that look I promise to my sisters and myself that I will kill him.
I will kill him.
