A.A. (Assassin Academy)

1.

The group and I have been at the school for 5 months. I write during my spare time. (This journal)
But I have to say that the most uncomfortable thing is having our AA suits on underneath regular clothes, they keep on bunching. I wish I could just wear my suit without all the extra layers on-top. The most difficult part for me is trying to fit in with the other humans. I forgot what it is like to be human. I still don't remember what it was like. Unsurprisingly, Ike is the only one who seems on fit in with the new scenery. (Him being human) I guess the whole being the only human on the team has taken a toll on him. I guess it is a good thing that he is having a sort of leave away from us.
Right now we are waiting in the foyer of the school, to get our ride back to headquarters.

"Hey guys!! I could really get used to being at school!" Ike chimed, as he let out a big sigh.
"It is only because you have been around them too long. Remember we are only here for the assignment." Michael spoke coldly.
"Plus who wants to go through high school all over again?" The twins spoke at the same time
Gosh I can never get used to that.
"Ugh! School again." Seth growled.
"School was an absolute nightmare for me..." Sara said plainly.
Richardo popped into view.
"Being amongst humans, hasn't been completely bad. I could possibly get used to this. Maybe go to a party tonight! " Richardo started to dance in a little circle and started humming.
"We are here for one reason only." Michael spoke over Richardo's dancing and humming.
"Guys you should lighten up a bit. Enjoy our time amongst normal people." Ike said.
Lighten up?!? That's it!!
And I slammed my journal closed.
The noise caught everyone's attention.
"I don't want to hear any more about trying to live a normal life. Everyone needs to focus on the assignment and not let anything cloud our judgement. We need to be prepared for anything that might happen. If I hear anymore about how we need to 'lighten up' I will personally punish you in the arena! We cannot afford any distractions! We are here for the assignment nothing less! Do I make myself crystal clear?!" I spoke in a my intimidating voice.
I laid a hand on Ike's shoulder and looked him straight in the eyes, coldly.
"Am I crystal clear?"
"Yes ma'am." Ike spoke softly.
"Good! Any objections?" I asked everyone. No one said anything.
"Let's go." I demanded.
The sleek black limo pulled up to the schools front doors. Everyone quietly piled in with their books and all. Everyone was silent on the way back to home. Especially Ike.
"He needed to hear it."
"You did the right thing." It was Michael.
"Some times I worry whether or not we could become distracted with anything. No matter how small."
"You are doing your best."
"You don't understand the struggle I go through. I know all of you think I am heartless."
"Your right. I don't know the struggle you go through. But I do know you hurt all the time. Physically and emotionally."
"Hmmm..."
"When we get home. Do you want to spar?"
"I would like that."
"Good. Because I have a hunch I might beat the record holder today."
"You're on!"
