The Guard Job

Chapter 6

Song: Queen of Hearts- We the Kings
Heh... I just kind of thought it fit...
A/N: How the city would look like. More futuristic but almost the same because it's not too far ahead. I'm sorry if this doesn't go up daily as expected because I have been dealing with homework and my procrastination. Haha, I should deal with that...

Chapter 6
I was brought to this white spacious office. Computer holograms were here and there. I had only one of those in my house and it was provided by the government so, it is the older version. There was a window that showed outside and it was beautiful. The headmistress walked in with a smile. It was as if I never met her.

"Ms. Cadwell, it's an honor to meet you. Sorry about today I got a little bit ahead of myself," she said, composed. I looked over at Crash to see any sign of her going to just tear me from limb to limb. He showed no emotion. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even surprised. She cleared her throat and my head snapped back to her.

"So, I would like to apologize bringing you here on a short notice," she said with no hint of scorn in her voice. I narrowed my eyes and I nodded, slowly. "Anyways, you are here knowing the deals, correct?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yes," I say, slowly. She nods and I stare at her like she's some bizarre creature. Her hair moved like flames as she shuffled through her things.

"You are to stay in a dorm at this school and you are supposed to attend every class. You will train everyday and take the score test. You will be put into a category, understand?" She asked as she looked up at me.

"Yes," I muttered. How am I supposed to get out now? I'll be trapped. If only I could alter my score... Alter my score... Wait I can. I breath a sigh and relax. I might be able to do this.

"Well you're all set. You start this coming Monday like all your other classmates," she states. I look at her, exasperated.

"What about all my things? My apartment?" I asked. She sighed and looked at me with intensity.

"Ms. Cadwell, you will be offered everything you need with additional money on top of that. Why in the world would you need your things at home? We have put everything in the donation stack. Your clothes will be made by tomorrow," she says, formally. I seethed in anger as she said that. Why would I need that? Why!

"I have important values in that house," I burst out. She turned her head and nodded. She pulled a familiar frame out and handed it to me.

"Ms. Cadwell, rest assured that you will get everything you are needed," she said. What is up with her. I look at her, carefully.

"Mrs. Wallin? If I may ask, why are you treating me like this? Just moments ago, you insulted me," I said. I heard Chase clear his throat and saw him shake his head. I turned towards the headmistress, only to see her confused.

"Excuse me, Ms. Cadwell?" She asked. I looked at her as if she's gone crazy. I heard Crash stand up.

"Mrs. Wallin? May I clarify what happened?"  Crash asked. Mrs. Wallin nodded in agreement.

"You see, Ms. Cadwell was tricked into thinking it was you. Actually, a girl has impersonated you. I played along to see what will happen and I guess I let it get too far," Crash said in amusement but went back to a straight face immediately.

"Girl you say, Crash who is it?" The Mrs. Wallin asked.

"Who else, Mrs. Wallin? Only one girl looks like you. Your daughter," he states and I looked in shock. He was right. Mrs. Wallin had green eyes while she had blue. Why would she do that though?

"Ohh, I will punish that daughter of mine. I'm sorry for all that trouble we have caused you," she smiles. It was warm unlike her daughter's.

"It's alright. I'm sorry for accusing you for such troublesome things," I apologized. I looked at Crash but his face seemed emotionless as he looked down. Something's up because when he does something wrong he hangs his head. No, I'm probably just wrong.

"Well, you're all set my dear. Now hurry along!" She said as she led us out. I walked out and saw Crash linger around.

"Are you going to the dorms?" I asked. He looked at me and shook his head. I nodded at him and walked out the building. I followed the stone path and looked at the trees. The green leaves swayed, almost hypnotically. The breeze felt great against my skin as I weaved through buildings. I got to the dorms and looked up in amazement. It was a giant house with many windows. I walked into the doors and watched as people shuffled through the house to get to their rooms. I looked at my number on the paper, 314. It probably meant I was on the third floor. I climbed up the three flights of stairs. I breathed heavily as I finally got up. I looked for my room number as I scanned each until I found mine. I passed my dorm that had 314 sprawled onto the door. I put my hand on the hand board and opened the room. I was enormous. There were two beds a bathroom and a big window. I saw that my roommate was in and she turned around.
