AN: So as usual, I don't own MI High, nor anything you may recognise. I just own Demi and Jamie. Thank you to all of the people who have followed this story or commented, I love you! OK, that sounded sad, but I mean it. Your reviews made me smile so much! Also, I think I might do something later on to change Demi's height, or do you think I should leave it the same? Regardless, Enjoy!
The following day...
"Now do you remember what you have to say in case anyone asks?"
"Yes dad, Zoe is my cousin, who has come to stay with us because of personal problems. Now, can I go? Jamie must be wondering what the hell is going on in here!" I said picking up my bag. "C'mon Zoe." I said, handing her a rucksack. Jamie was stood out in the hallway with headphones in, and smiled at me, before turning to look at Zoe. "Who's this?" She said, putting her headphones around her shoulders so we could all hear the beats of whatever song she was listening to. "This is Zoe, she's my cousin. Now are we going to school today or tomorrow?" I asked. Jamie sighed, and put her headphones back on. Zoe turned to me and asked, "Is she always like that?" I nodded,
"Unfortunately, yes. But you get used to her ignoring you, and being weird as hell eventually." I said, as Jamie turned,
"Come on you two! What are you talking about anyway?"
"Nothing Jai. Just talking about my aunt, Zoe's mother." Zoe smiled and nodded, and Jamie turned back and continued walking, as if she didn't believe us. "The strange thing is I think she's the daughter of my boss of where I was in summer. But I'm not sure I can trust her. Why am I telling you this?" I said, rambling now. Zoe said, "I don't know. Maybe you just want someone to talk to. Someone who'll listen to you." I shrugged, and entered school, the walk now over. The team were gathered around the benches, presumably waiting for me and dad to arrive. "Morning Guys! Later Jai!" I called, as Jamie wandered over to Melissa and Harry. "Hi Dems." Tom said, still not looking up from his console. Aneisha was busy looking over at Harry, and Dan seemed particularly interested in Zoe. Feeling ignored, I went to leave when Frank joined us, shortly followed by McNab, and Mr Flatley? "Hello Mr Flatley! What are you doing here? It feels like I haven't seen you in ages!" I said, smiling.
"Mr Flatley is the new headmaster. Who's this?" McNab interrupted, looking at Zoe.
"This is Zoe, she's my niece. She's been having some problems at her school, so I thought she could come here instead." McNab went to reply with some sarcastic comment, but Mr Flatley interrupted, "Of course she can! I bet Demi will be glad to have her here as well." I smiled and nodded, hoping that I could get to know her better, poor girl. Being kidnapped by SKUL didn't sound particularly fun. Mr Flatley then pulled Zoe off, presumably to give her a tour of the school. How come I didn't get that? I just got a flipping map! Sighing, I sat down on the bench next to Tom, who thankfully, had stopped playing his game. "Anyway, what was it you wanted dad?" I asked.
"Just to let you know that we believe, based off the information we received on Zoe's communicator, that SKUL are at a warehouse. Today at 2pm, Stella and the attack team will be going in to arrest the Grand Master, and end SKUL once and for all."
"Great, and how do we get involved?" Tom asked.
"You don't. Stella doesn't believe that you are up for the job." Frank replied, looking down, as if he was afraid of our reactions.
"Seriously? Is there not some way we could get involved? Without us rescuing Zoe, they'd still be on square one!" I argued back.
"I know. Look, I'm sorry team, but we're going to have to sit this one out." Frank then walked off, leaving us all in silence.
"Great. MI9 are going on possibly the biggest mission possible, and we can't get involved because we're too young." I hit my hand on the bench and got up. "I'll see you in class." I said, before entering the building.
At Lunch.
I was sat at a table with my team and Zoe. We were discussing miserably about Stella's discussion. Well, me and Aneisha were. Dan was watching Zoe eat jelly and Tom was playing with Zoe's old communicator. I poked my pasta, as if that would somehow stop it looking like a grey mush. "Hey Zoe? Do you want my jelly? Have it." I said, sliding my bowl over to her. Then I turned to Tom and said, "And what are you actually meant to be doing?" He stopped and looked at me. "I'm trying to find out how to hack into the SKUL satellite. We may as well be a bit useful." He then returned to poking the panel. At least he wasn't giving up, you had to admire him for that. I was then snapped out of my thinking by Tom quickly getting up and yelling, "That's it!" Upon noticing that all the eyes of the room where on him, he calmly sat back down. "I know how we can hack it. Come on, let's go to HQ." Quickly the 4 of us picked up our bags and jogged out, leaving Zoe behind. What's this big idea that's got him so excited? Does this mean that we can bring down SKUL?
AN: And I'm gonna leave it here. Hope you enjoyed!
