Spy School: NYC

The Return

Main Entrance

CIA Academy of Espionage

April 1st, 1600

The hospital finally cleared me to go back.

I'll be honest I'm not excited to be returning.

I look horrible, I feel horrible, I just don't know what to do.

Lucky, I have all the Hales escorting me back to the Academy.

Erica sitting in the back of the nice, new SUV Cyrus came to pick me up in.

With Alexander in the front passenger seat.

Them being with me, definitely helped my anxiety, I couldn't be more grateful.

All the cuts have healed, so have most of my broken bones, they said I'm a fast healer, and that I'm young.

The scar on my face didn't get much better.

It has fainted a little, but it still runs down across my face.

Erica holding my hand the entire way back to the Academy is definitely helping.

I just stared out the window until we eventually arrived.

And to my surprise, it looked like the whole academy was their to welcome me back.

I gaped in awe of everyone there.

Alexander noticed my face and said "They insisted on welcoming you back like this, your friends planned it".

I nodded and squeezed Erica's hand, I'm definitely nervous.

It still hurts to move around, I have tons of bruises still, with also my arm being in a sling.

Everything else was fine, I was wearing the clothes the hospital lended to me.

Cyrus finally pulled up to park infront of the crowd, and the whole school stared at the car.

Car doors unlocked with a Click!, and Erica looked at me with one of her amazing smiles.

We went out.

The crowd erupted with cheering and tons of people welcoming me back.

I noticed only a couple people walking towards me.

Mike, Trixie, Jawa, Chip, and Zoe.

They all smiled at me, especially Mike who was as happy as I'd ever seen him.

I faked a grin right back at them, "Maybe it won't be so bad after all" I thought.

Mike was the first to reach me, he gave me a huge bear hug.

"Great to see you back bro" He said relieved.

"Glad to be back" I said half heartedly.

The others all said the same, except Zoe who gave me a hug too.

She was my best friend since I got here to the academy.

I could tell she was crying, so I said "I'm glad to see you too Zoe" with a smile.

She pulled away from our hug with a smile.

I then looked to Erica, with a smile, and then grabbed her hand in mine once more.

We walked into the academy, and to my dorm, school was already over when I arrived.
