Young Heroes

Ep 9- Second chances and unforeseen friendships

(REBECCA'S POV)

I started walking home. After that long speech about how I should become a better human and how Rudy Steiner is the perfect person for me and that I should consider him to be my friend from that weird "Minouri" girl, I felt pretty exhausted. So, I decided to go home and hit the sack.

As the guards opened the double doors for me, I could see my father standing in the hallway. It seems he was waiting for me. And he had something in his hand. Was it...a letter? Wait, no. It was two letters. That doesn't make it make more sense though. I started to approach him.

"Rebecca, my darling. I've been waiting for your rebound. Here, guess what I got a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend.". He handed me the letters. "Omg! Are these the acceptance letters? Does this mean I can actually go to the spy school? This is marvellous! But why two?" I said. "He (the mutual friend) insisted I took two. So I did. You can give one to your friend, *murmurs something inaudible*." My father replied. Weirdly, when he said that, the first person to come to my head was....Rudy. 

Stop! You like Luke, not the stupid extra Rudy. Rudy is just a side character. You, the main character of the story, are too good for him. You're supposed to like Luke. But....you can't really choose who you can fall for, right? *SLAPS HERSELF*. Shut up! Yes you can and you choose Luke, so go back to your room and sleep.

"Sweetheart, are you fine?" I heard my father say with eyes filled with concern. "Yes! Yes, I'm perfectly fine." I reply, heading toward my bed chamber. 

(REBECCA'S DADS' POV) [Ohhh new pov :o]

The security guards opened the limo's doors as I stepped out of the car. Paparazzi was in front of our house, as the guards tried to push them away to make way for me to enter the house. After a little debate from a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend, I painfully got two tickets to the spy school. One for my lovely daughter and another for if she accidentally tore the first one ( because we all know she's too selfish to give the other one to anyone, or because she has literally no friends *BURN*). I stepped inside the house. "Where's my beloved daughter?" I asked the nearby servant. "She said she went out for a walk" the peasant replied. "Fine. I guess I'll wait."

I saw Rebecca entering the mansion. "Rebecca, my darling. I've been waiting for your rebound. Here, guess what I got a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend.". 

I handed her the letters. "Omg! Are these the acceptance letters? Does this mean I can actually go to the spy school? This is marvellous! But why two?" She said. "He (the mutual friend) insisted I took two. So I did. You can give one to your friend, If you have any." I replied,  although the last part was a bit inaudible(I hoped, as much fun it is to roast my daughter, she gets pretty mad at it). 

I looked at her. She seemed to be....arguing. With herself. Meh, it's probably noth- *SHE SLAPS HERSELF*. "Sweetheart, are you fine?" I said with concern. I hope my daughter doesn't turn out mental. "Yes! Yes, I'm perfectly fine." She replied, heading towards her bedroom.

*THE NEXT MORNING*

(ANNA'S POV) 

I was pretty nervous. This was my second chance! I hope I don't screw up this time. My agent entered. This time, it was an orange haired girl. She had big green eyes and a cute voice. "Hi! I'm Emma and I'll be your agent. Shall we start with the interview?" she asked. "Sure." I replied.

The interview went pretty smoothly. This is what she asked me:

1. Could you tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?2. What type of work environment do you prefer?3. How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations?4. Do you prefer working independently or on a team?5. When you're balancing multiple projects, how do you keep yourself organised?

But I'm not exactly sure if I got in the second time or not. That's gonna have to wait for tomorrow.

(REBECCA'S POV)

I entered the classroom. The first person I always see there is Luke, but oddly, I saw Rudy this time. He did have pretty red hair and gre- STOP. I sat on the nearest chair.

Once the class ended, I heard some extras say that Luke and Rudy didn't get in the spy school. That's perfect! I'll give my letter to Ru-LUKE. Yes, Luke. Ofcourse Luke. Obviously Lu-"Hey Rudy! Can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?" I said. My heart decided before my brain could. WHY?!

(RUDY'S POV)

I was talking to my brother Luke, about the english assignment. In the middle of my conversation, I heard Rebecca call out to me. "Hey Rudy!". What does that narcissistic bully want from me? Or.....she might actually want to talk to me. Yes, I found Rebecca attractive,  but she still had the personality of an angry Chihuahua.

"Can I talk to you in the hallway for a second? ALONE?" Rebecca said. "Sure" I replied. She looked like she was....fighting with herself after she said that. "Are you fine?" I decided to say after she punched herself REALLY HARD on the cheek. "YES! Yes I'm fine, I'm alright. It's just....It's not like I like you or something, or that I'm admitting I was a pain in the butt to you, Luke and that other weird brown haired girl whose name I forgot. But still, here you go." she said, handing me a letter of......approval for the spy schools?! 

"Wait, is this the letter of approval to join the spy schools?" I said calmly, but my mind was freaking out. WHAT?! Why would Rebecca want to give me this? Is she actually trying to improve or something? Is she actually  admitting she was a pain in the butt for me, Luke and Anna? Is she actually admitting she.....likes me? Pfft..probably not the last thing, but still, oh my gods! (Hiii author here: I said 'gods' on purpose because in episode one, it was told they had different gods that gave them the jewels of peace that they are supposed to protect. So, just in case you forgot, I let you know!) 

"Not a word about this should come from your mouth. Just say you were pranking them or something and you actually got into the school. Do not mention me at all. Also you have a serious mumbling problem. You should get that checked out." she said, firmly. "Okay, I won't, and I guess I will. Wait, no that came out wrong. I WON'T say a word about this and I WILL try to get my mumbling checked out. Thanks so much though!" I replied.

"You should thank me." Rebecca said, turning around and walking away. Great, she was back to her bully self. "Hey, what did Rebecca want from you?" Luke spoke, entering the hallway. "Oh, she was trying to...manipulate me into...hating Anna." I replied, lying. I hope it was a convincing lie though. "That sounds like something she would do." Luke said, as if he were reassuring me. I breathed out a sigh of relief as we went inside the cafeteria for recess.
