"And you are?" the creepy receptionist asked sounding annoyed.
"Brooklyn Courtney Denali." I answered giving my full name. She nodded and handed me my pack. I wanted to open it badly but Zee wanted to be there to see what I got and either judge whether it was accurate or not or to celebrate. Of course then everyone had to be there and they had to have school today didn't they?
I walked to the apartment in a bad mood. "Remember me?" a masculine voice said. I spun around and saw Jared. Being in a very bad mood I decided to take it out on him.
"No." I said harshly killing any chance he thought he had.
"Why so harsh today gorgeous?" Jared asked falling into step with me.
"You don't know what I'm like and how many people have you said that to already?" I retorted annoyed. Where was Jailbait when you needed her?
"We met yesterday sweetheart." Jared said.
"No if I did I would have remembered and I am not your sweetheart especially since we just met." I said monotonously. I decided to me mean and look at him in the face. The girls and I decided to practise disguises. Mine was the type you get when you think you recognise someone but closer inspection makes you realise that you don't know the person at all.
I highlighted my hair with hazel streaks, put on too much make up and a pair of green contact lenses. From a distance I looked like me but up close I don't. Jared backed away shocked. "I'm sorry I thought you were someone else." He said stunned before running off. I needed to get a video of that. Got to get Zee to pull a couple of 'favours' to get the tech girls to give us a copy.
I skipped into the apartment and went to put my pack in my room and turn everything off before going for a run. I tried to get into my morning routine but it was hard. Especially because of the jet lag. I ran for an hour straight increasing the speed until I was flat out sprinting. For the last minute I increased speed and my legs started to go to sleep on me. I collapsed on the floor and put my head between my legs. I had a killer head ache. Normally I didn't do something so stupid but I hoped that it would help me get over my jet lag.
I gave up on my routine after the weightlifting and took a shower in the gym's showers. Honestly this place was more like a luxurious hotel/club than a training ground for spies, assassins and what not. When I was decent I went to the apartment. When I opened the door it was 6.30 p.m. and it was dark. I turned on the lights and every girl I met so far yelled surprise.
"What's this for?" I asked confused.
"Well yesterday was your birthday and Poppy went to get you in the morning so you couldn't open your presents so it was a pretty crappy day for you and it made us feel guilty so we decided to throw you a surprise party." Hannah said happily while Zee shook her head.
"She left out the part that she just wanted something to do like plan a party." Zee explained.
"That hurts. That cuts deeply. I can't believe you would accuse me of doing something like that." Hannah said faking hurt.
"Would you do something like that?" Zee asked innocently.
"Yeah, pretty much." Hannah admitted. We all started laughing.
"What no cake?" I asked.
"There was a cake but someone ruined it." Sasha said mock glaring at Joey who was trying to hide behind Poppy's legs while looking a little guilty. I don't blame Joey Sasha can be scary. They handed me their gifts.
Zee's gift: Gucci Cocktail outfit. Including accessories make up and shoes.
Sasha's gift: Chanel formal outfit. Including accessories make up and shoes.
Jill's gift: Prada casual outfit. Including accessories make up and shoes
Hannah's gift: Armani costume (it was originally for herself but made the designer change the sizes a little so it fit me properly.) Including accessories make up and shoes.
Poppy's gift: Marc Jacobs's bathing suit.
Joey's gift: A lot of tiffany and co. accessories.
I loved the gifts. How my sister's got them on such short notice was a surprise and I felt like crying. Then we opened my pack to see what I got and it was a medic. Apparently it was like becoming a doctor or surgeon and Dad almost never sold them off. My schedule was:
1. Toxicology(7.30- 8.30) miss Karp
2. Biology(8.30-9.30) miss Chen
3. Physics(9.30-1030) miss Lyn
4. break(10.30-11)
5. Trauma care(11-12) miss Grace
6. First aid training(12-1) miss Jackson
7. Weapons/hand combat(1-2) miss Tan
8. Weapons/hand combat (2-3)miss Tan
9. Lunch (3-3.30)
10. Math (3.30-4.30) miss Ho
11. Chemistry (4.30-5.30) miss Belikov
12. Bacteriology (5.30-6.30) miss Hathaway
"Wow, I knew medics trained hard but this? No wonder they're so dangerous" Zee commented.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Your schedule is twice as long as ours." Poppy said looking wide eyed at the schedule.
"What do you mean?" I asked shocked.
"Our schedules start at the same time but ours is half of yours." Sasha said. I hate dad. Tomorrow I'm going to have to read the text books and try to understand what they're talking about. Stupid mafia involved dad...In some sick way I was glad he was involved with the mafia because otherwise my sisters and I would not exist. It must be the lack of sleep making me crazy. Jet lag is a pain.
