Cleo took a deep breath. Then answered her boss with the answer he wants to hear. "Yes, Sir. Send me the details."

Closing the call, she turned around to the others. "We have another mission tonight." She said in a low voice and walked to them. She saw Marco walking with his friend from behind. She wanted to go and talk to him but wasn't sure if she can. But then remembered she still has control, she got to use her powers that's all. "Now if any of you says one more thing, I'll put a bullet in your head." She warned them and walked to her locker. They got confused to what she meant or talked about. She took out her books and saw him already staring at her. She smiled at him then put her things inside her bag.

"Ryder and the boys went for practice, want to study together?" Nat came to me blocking Marco from seeing me. I looked at her and she leaned her head. I giggled, "I know what you're doing." I said then closed the locker. "Hah just leave it, Nat. She'll waste our time." I clenched my fist and narrowed my eyes at Aurelia. What the hell is her problem with me? The urge to punch her face was so big. "Aurelia- Isn't it obvious?! She's so caught up with her lover boy to point she'll talk about him all the time and never listen to us! Hah what's so special about him?! He's a literal fuck boy and you know it! - Aurelia Enough! - Shut up, Nat!" That last one made everyone stare at us and Natasha as usual just stayed silent. I rolled my eyes at that bitch and just walked away from her. I have no time to deal with her childishness. "Yes, walk away like you always do. We don't need you anyways." I stopped walking and laughed. "We're sorry, guys. She's just crazy, sorry for disturbing. HAHAAHA" I turned to her. "I warned you. " I said in a very intimidating low voice while staring daggers at her eyes.

The Bell rang and it was time for the final class. Natasha held my arm and took me away from that bitch. She's so lucky she has someone who can save her from me. I wonder for how long that will last, I can feel myself losing my patience every time she speaks. We entered our final class together and Aurelia followed after a minute, we were waiting for the teacher. And I wasn't in my best mood at all right now.

The teacher came and the class started so I turned off my phone. Someone behind me tapped on my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw Ryder. "I need to talk to you on the way home... or perhaps before the operation." He whispered while I looked forward and leaned to him. I signalled to him that "okay, I'll meet you later." Another thing I learned in the past few months, is the sign language that Ryder taught me. That's the one thing I'm slightly proud of nowadays. We became really close because of it and to my surprise they all knew the sign language. He told me that it was my father's idea in case we were under attack or on a secret mission. It is helpful when we can't make a sound, it's also rare. Not everyone knows how to use the sign language to talk with each other. And it's interesting how my father thought of that, no wonder he's the best around the world, never gets caught indeed...

School was over and it was time to prepare for finals. I was so not ready for it yet. As I walked out of my last class, I saw everyone running and screaming. I heard what sounded like a motorbike. "What the hell-" Aurelia was screaming like crazy and bumped into me. "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" I stopped her and asked. "STOP THAT MANIAC!" She said and kept running. In a second, A motorbike took a turn and was headed right towards me. "Oh my god" He started the engine at full speed. I couldn't move my legs! I just froze there! What could possibly be the worst injury out of this? Why wasn't I moving? Could it be that's how I die?! WHY AM I NOT MOVING?!! I screamed. Putting my hands on my face and my whole body was trembling. I heard the sound getting closer till it passed my left ear. And started driving in circles around me.
