The suited man opened the door for the teens that followed him form behind. He stepped aside so they went in first. They both went in with a tired step as they approached to the two seats in front of a desk. They sat down, both with a sigh. The man came behind the teens as he made his way towards his chair behind the desk. He sat down and faced the two teens who were both looking away.
"Well," he started. But there was no conversation, the man sighed. "Look boys, I know you don't wanna be here. And I know this is my first year here, as for you as well mrs. Alexander."
The tan teen slightly looked at the man, but quickly looked away. The man smiled to himself. "So, because this is my first year here, and it is the first day of school. I won't give you guys detention." This brought the attention of the teens.
"however, I do want an explanation." He said as he eyed at both teens. "So...what happened?"
"it was just a stupid childish argument..." Harry said not really elaborating on it.
The man nodded looking at Harry, as he turn his eyes to Sam. He noticed, and he simply nodded agreeing.
"Well, I know there was some physical damage.." He Pointed out. Harry seemed to open his mouth, but nothing came out. As Sam continued to look out the window. This didn't go unnoticed.
"I do not wanna see you two here again. Understood?"
They both nodded. "Yes sir." Harry said as they got up and started to walk out the door.
"Mr. Alexander.." The man said. Stopping Sam mid way out the door. He closed his eyes with a sigh as he turned around. The man pointed towards the chair in front of him. "I'll be quick." He said smiling. As Sam tiredly walked towards the chair and sat down.
"I know you guys are just starting. But I wanna get an idea of where we are in chemistry. And by we I mean you." The teacher said as he was passing out some papers to each student. The room was filled with sighs and grunts.
"O c'mon, it is not for a grade..." The teacher said optimistic. "It's just to get and idea."
Ava looked down at her paper, everything looked so familiar to her. She smiled as she started to write on the paper. Everything was flowing inside her head. This was a piece of cake.
"20 minutes to go, starting now." The teacher said eying at the clock.
"Coulson, I know what you're going to say. But in my defense, I didn't started it...not this time." He murmured the last part. As he sat down in front of the suited man.
"Look Sam, I know you don't wanna be here." The teen scoffed as he turn his head to the window again.
"but we're just trying to help you. It's for your own good." The man said softly.
"by sending us to school? Yeah..no thanks."
"I know you've had bad experiences with school before. Multiple fights, detentions, suspensions... my point is-
"We're basically heroes..why in the world do we need school?"
"were just trying to get you guys a distraction. Some time away from S.H.I.E.L.D. Have a somewhat 'normal teenage ' life."
The teen sighed as he shook his head and looked out the window. His only escape for his eyes to avoid the mans eyes.
"I know that's something Ava wants...and the rest of the team."
"yeah, well, not all of us want a normal life." He said crossing his arms.
"I also know that one condition fury had, was for all of you to say 'yes'. And I know you agreed because of your team. That was generous on your part to do."
The teen shrugged. "Not a whole lot I could do..."
"Well, you could of simply said 'no'. But you didn't." The man had a smile on his face. "Just give it a try Sam."
Sam shook his head. "I have. But it just...doesn't work." He explained. "I always seem to end up here every time." He said with a smile, more like to himself.
"Well then make that your goal. No more detentions."
The teen scoffed a bit. "Yea...don't know how well I can do that.."
The man had an idea. "I'll tell you what," he started as he slightly leaned forward. "No detentions for the next month, and I'll let you be off the hook for early practices for a month."
The teens eyes widened a bit. "You serious?"
"Totally." The man said, trying to sound like a teen. "However, you'll still need to train."
Sam nodded, "k, deal." The man smiled. "Alright, then we have a deal." As they shook hands. "So remember, I don't wanna see you here in the next month." He pointed with a finger.
"k" the teen said waving a hand back, as he was already out of the office. The man shook his head. "Teenagers..."
Sam made his way inside the chemistry class. It was really quiet, he realized they were taking... a test? On the first day of school?! He stared confused and disgusted. That was until he managed to get a glimpse of the brown headed starring at him with the slightest sour look. He stared back with a sour look of his own until...
"mr..." The teacher trailed off as he looked down at a paper on his desk. Breaking the intense looks, as the tan teen turned. "Alexander. Please, take a seat, and don't worry, it's not an actual test. It's just a comprehensive test. No grade." He explained. As he slightly patted the teens shoulder as he made his way to the empty seat next to Ava.
Behind her, he saw the bigger guy chewing on his pen nervously. He turn behind the empty seat, and saw the blond starring at the paper as he played with his pen on his fingers. Sam was always fascinated by that, but yet disturbed at the same time.
Making his way towards the seat, he eyed over to Ava seeing how fast she was writing. He rolled his eyes to himself with a smirk as he sat down. Figure it would be like that. As he placed down his bookbag, got a pen out, and began to stare at the paper. This was gonna be a long class.
"Sir, May I ask again: When exactly are you planning on telling them?" The same suited man from the principals office asked with hands behind his back. As he faced a flat screen, it appeared to be hidden somewhere. Behind the screen, there was a colored man. One of his eyes seemed to be cover with an eye patch. His face expression was hard to read.
"Everything will fall into place. " Was all he said. "For now, they need to focus on other priorities."
The suited man nodded, not quite convinced. "And what about the other one? When will he know? Or more importantly, how are we going to as-"
"Coulson, leave that to me." The man said making it sound easy. "For now, you have a school to watch over." He said as he started to smirk to the suited man who smiled back with a small scoff. "I would of never thought I would ever have a heck of an agent be part principal." He teased.
The man nodded "always a pleasure sir."
"the pleasure is all mine, Coulson. Pleasure is all mine. Fury out." And with that, the screen turned off and disappeared.
"Well class, I must say the tests were...well, lets just say you guys are gonna learn a lot of new stuff." He said with a small chuckle as he looked up to see the students starring right at him with dead eyes. Everyone seemed to be awake but asleep somehow. He cleared his throat, ready to say something when a voice was heard.
"So, everyone failed?" The tan female next to Sam asked. People turned back to see her. She seemed to be confused, she was sure she knew most of the answers. If not all of them.
"Well, Ms. Ayala? Is it?" She nodded. "This was only a comprehensive test, no grade. But I did see that you know your chemistry." She nodded and gave him a crocked smile.
The teacher walked to the other side of the room. "And Mr. Parker ," The teen with the baby blue eyes looked up. "Once again, like every year, zero mistakes." The teen simply smiled not in the bragging way, it just looked like if he was expecting it.
Ava slightly leaned back to see this so called " Mr. Parker ." who apparently seems to know his chemistry as well. She stared until she felt a hit on her shoulder. She turned. It was Sam.
"Looks like you're gonna have some competition." He said holding a laugh.
Without saying a word to him, she simply turned away rolling her eyes. She hated to admit it, but he was right. She would definitely have to keep an eye out, if she wanted to be in the top of the class.
With that being done, the bell finally rang. Everyone got up like in a stampede. As they were all headed to lunch, ready to get the first day of the school over with.
