Mission: Failed

CHAPTER 1

"AA! Omg I missed you so much! Where have you been all summer? You never even bothered to text me! Damn, girl! You must've really enjoyed, and that makes me soooo bitter." My ever-so-talkative bestfriend, Leigh Nicolai Reeds, president of the school coordinating board and team captain of the girls' soccer team. Cool isn't she? But for me she's not. She's very loud, nagging and cheerful. It's like she never loses any percent of energy in her system. "What the hell Leigh?! I told you not to call me AA in school!"

"Okay fine hot-headed!" Then she made this weird i'll back-off' gesture. "So how's your summer, bookworm? Let me guess... you went on a trip to Guam with your family, brought a gazillion books and never went out of the hotel? Am I right or am I right?"

"Actually, it's not Guam. It's Hawaii. And no, I didn't bring gazillion books. I just brought 20." What a lie Athena. Everyone in your family knows that you stayed at the hospital the whole summer to recover. I thought to myself.

"Hawaii?! Damn you! How could you ignore Hawaii and choose books over it? Have you lost your mind?! It's Hawa-ii. H-A-W-A-I-I, ha-wa-ii!" She really lost it. Who the hell spells Hawaii in the middle of the corridor with a very nagging face? Oh. Yeah. Leigh. I face palmed myself in mind.

"Girl, can I see your sched?" She asked. "You can but you may not." I answered. Her face looks like she's confused. Oh what the hell. I handed her the paper. "Oh! We have the same first class, and fourth and last. C'mon let's go! We'll be late." She grabbed my hand then dragged me. Ugh this girl is really annoying the hell out of me. How did she become my bestfriend anyways ugh frustrating!

We went to our first class which is English Lit. and went on for the rest of the day.

"Thank God school is over! I can't believe that our professors are so boring! I think I would not survive this school year! Omygosh it's like our first day only and I am dy-ing!" Here she goes again with all the blabbering blablabla "See you tomorrow Leigh gotta go." Then I dashed my way going to my Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Pirelli Edition. Well, I gotta say I adore cars more than clothes and make-ups.

I was walking my way towards my oh-so-hot car when I overheard someone talking. "Dash please! Give me a second chance! Please Dash, I'm begging you! I love you, you know that." said the girl. Actually, I have no intention to peek but I'm really really curious right now, and so I did. "You blew your chance Chassie! You're a slut! How dare you sleep with my brother?! You're disgusting!" Oh a couple fighting. This is my first time to see something like this, might as well enjoy the show. Ha-ha. "I did not! He forced me! He seduced me! You know I'm incapable of anything when I'm drunk. You know that Dash. Please give me a second chance!" Then the girl leaned on to the guy and suddenly kissed him. Ew. I backed off but then I didn't know that there was a metal pole behind me. "Sht. Ouch! My head. Sht!" I'm so dead.

"Who the hell's there?" I heard the guy say. I hurriedly walked but I guess this is my karma for being so curious. "Who are you?" He grabbed my arm from behind. I slowly turned to face him. "Uhh.." Damn I'm lost for words. This guy is hot. I mean he's like photo-shopped. Greek god with aquamarine eyes, chiseled jawline, pointed nose and fair skin. "Putain magnifique.." I suddenly blurted out. Shit. I hope he doesn't understand french.

Then he smiled. Shit this guy is totally freaking fucking hot. "Pourquoi vous remercier, ma dame" Oh my gosh. He freaking understand french! He freaking understood what I've said! "You said I was gorgeous right?" He smirked. And so I died. Nah kidding. "Uhm yeah y-you a-are" Stuttering makes me feel so damn weak. Ugh I hate hot guys. I composed myself and tried my best to act calm. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hear that or peek. I just got curious." I shrugged my shoulders. "Oh no worries, she's nothing." He answered. "Oh. Okay. I gotta go now. Bye." I hurriedly walked my way towards my oh-so-hot car. "Wait! What's your name? He shouted. I was thinking of saying my real name to him since he's hot but I didn't. I'm an agent, I should not give my real name to strangers. "Al" It's still my name though from Alexandra. "Okay! Name's Drake!" He shouted again. I nodded and stepped inside my car then turned on the engine.

I left the school with a smile plastered on my face.

I arrived at my condo exactly 6:37 in the afternoon. As I was swiping my card something caught my attention.

Blood.

Although the condominium's hall is carpeted red, I still saw it.

(See multimedia above or on the right)

I noticed it's leading to the other condo's door. I slowly walked my way towards the door. It's slightly open. I prepared myself for defense then I kicked the door hard. As I entered the neighbor's condo, I saw the trace of blood leading to the first room to the right. I walked my way to the room and saw a person lying on the bed, faced-back, full of blood. Out of instinct I went near and checked if he's still alive. I checked the pulse. He's still alive! I dialed the ambulance's number.

"Hello this is 911, what's your emergency?"

"Evans Elite Condominium, 10th floor, room 10711. C'mon hurry! Make it fast! The guy's still alive!"

"Okay ma'am, the ambulance is on their way."

I went back to my own pad and rummaged through my laptop searching for the secret folder. "Aha! Victor Mariette Collin, Assasin of Black Widow Corporation. Hmm he's one of the best assassins. Oh shit someone stronger must be the one responsible for this." But why? Why would they want Victor killed? What's their motive?

My phone rang. "Hello who's this?"

"Athena, protect yourself. Be ready all the time. They are coming after you. They want you dead. Be careful dear."

"Hello dad is that you? Dad?" I could hear some crashes and noises. "Dad are you there? What's happening? Dad!! Hello? Daddy!! What's happening there?!" I felt my tears flowing.

"I love you sweetie. Stay safe. We will come back for you." Then the line went dead. I covered my face with my hands and cried hard. Not again. Not my parents. They already took away my brother. I felt both pain and anger at the same time. "You will never win. I swear to my brother's grave you won't have what you want."

He will never win this battle. Never.

The next morning. I prepared myself for the second day of school. I wore a simple outfit. Green laced sleeveless top, floral above-the-knee skirt, and pure white lace-designed sneakers. I tied my hair and put on a simple pair of green earrings. I'm kind of girly today.

I drove my way to school using another one from my car collection. My Matte Blue Audi R8 V10 Plus. I entered the school gate with surprised looks from the students. Oh, I know how hot my car is. While finding a parking space, I saw the hot guy from yesterday eyeing my car, smirking and leaning on one of the posts by the car park. He saved me a space. I parked and went out of my car.

"Cool ride." He said. "Thanks." I replied.

"Athenaaaa!!" I rolled my eyes. "Hey Leigh." I dully looked at her. She eyed me suspiciously and whispered. "Why are you talking to Drake Marco Nichols?" Woah she knows him. "You know that guy?" "Uhm yeah. He's one of the most popular guy here in our school. One of the notorious bad boy slash playboy of our school." I didn't know he was such a cliché. Psh. Bad boy slash playboy. Too common. "But he's hot though." I said.

"Hey Al, wait." Drake grabbed my arm again. "Yes?" I said.

"Athena, see you in our room. I'll go ahead." Leigh said. "Alright."

"Uhm, Al I would like to ask you out. Later perhaps? After class? Let's hang-out. I know a great place." Damn those orbs. I just replied. "Okay. My last class is Chemistry. You know the room right?" "Yeah, see you. I'll fetch you there later." He said. Then I walked my way to my first class.
