Lara Smith

Chapter 7

“WHO DID IT?!” I screamed from the back seat of the schools undercover van

“Not me Lara, I swear!” Micah said from besides me.

“Sorry” Mark, one of my class mates, shouted from the seat in front of me.

“Gosh what did you eat? I’m about to suffocate” I said, pinching my nose so I couldn’t smell his rancid fart.

“Lara why do you have to shout it out like that? I can’t control it, I had the schools tacos before we left and I fart when I’m Nervous”

Note to self: Make sure your operatives have no access to any type of Mexican food before the mission. So why are we all packed shoulder to shoulder in a van you ask? Well, we are on our way to our very first mission! It’s at a super wicked flat in the city! I barely ever get to go to the city, and I have never been to a high school party! I need to remember my point of going though. Bust the dealers quickly and quietly.

“I’m’ so bored. How much longer is it?” Micah asked.

“Micah you’re such a child sometimes. We have another half hour.”

“Aw man! Well let’s play a car game or something!” He replied.

“Yes let’s tell riddles! I have the first one: What do you call a dog that sweats so much?” Said Jenna, another girl in my class.

“A hound dog?” Micah guessed.

“No idiot why would it be a hound dog? It’s a Hot Dog.” I said

“Oh that does make more sense” He said.

“Okay I answered so I’m next. Hmmm…. Okay what do you do with a dead chemist?”

“…”

“Anyone?”

“Lara that’s really hard. We’re not nerds like you” Said Mark.

“”its easy guys just think” I shouted

“Barium” we heard a quiet voice from the front of the van say. We all turned towards the source of that voice. It was the new girl. She had just started at our school. I haven’t ever talked to her.

“What did you say?” I asked

“Well… Um… Never mind.”  She said

“No come one! I want to hear your answer. I promise I won’t laugh at you if it’s wrong.” I said while crossing my heart.

“I said you Barium, Like Bury Him…” She replied meekly.

“YES! YOU GOT IT! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY SMART ONE IN THIS VAN! I yelled with a wide grin on my face.

She smiled at me “I’m Ellz. Well Elizabeth really, but everyone back home calls me Ellz. You’re Lara, right?”

“Yep that’s me. The one and only Lara Smith.” I said.

She smiled at me, and I climbed over the rows of seats and plopped down in between her and this kid Larson.

“Hey Lars” I said.

“Sup” he replied, and then went back to his sketch book. He was in the middle of a portrait of someone. I couldn’t tell who yet, but I made a mental note to pull him aside later and get the scoop.

“So Ellz, Cool name by the way, How are you liking Fairway Academy for the Elite?” I asked her.

“It’s all right. I don’t know many people. At my old school I was an outcast. I was very different from everyone else. Also the fact that I could take down a guy twice my size scared people away.” She explained.

“So how’d you end up here?” I asked her

“Well I was in the newspaper for winning a karate tournament. I’m a black belt. So These MI6 guys showed up at my school, pulled me out of class, and make me take this stupid test. Apparently I passed with flying colours. So they said all this rubbish about how my country needs my help, and they offered me a spot at this school. I thought why not? Maybe I’ll actually fit in! So I packed my things, and came here. I love it a lot. The stuff they teach you here is so useful. I’m finally not the super strong freak.”

“Wow, that story was awesome! You have to spar with me some time. I got my black belt when I was 12.”

“Cool. I think that would be fun!” she replied, seeming more confident and outgoing then before.

“Micah get your cute butt up here now!” I called to him.

“Hold on a sec” he replied, making his way slowly to us.

“Micah this is Ellz, Ellz this is Micah” I said

“Hi I’m Micah, her boyfriend” He replied without thinking.

I blushed.

“Oh so your my boyfriend now huh?” I replied. My date with Gavin was a no-go. I got stood up by the jerk. Frankie assured me he was making a big mistake. After that I asked Micah if we could go on that date he offered and He accepted. We have been hanging out almost every day for the past week. We also had a few more kisses.

“I mean uh….. Her friend…. That’s a boy…” He stammered.

“Oh really, I said” giving him a look.

“Well unless you want me to be your boyfriend” he said shyly.

“Are you asking me to be your girlfriend in a cramped van that smells like rotten queso dip?”

“Well, um…”He mumbled

“Of course I will be your girlfriend!” I said.

He smiled and pulled me in for a kiss. I know were in a van full of people, but I can’t stop it. Every time I kiss him is like the first time. I didn’t realize kissing was this good. I felt butterflies in my stomach every time he holds me close to him. We break apart when we here annoying mark coughing. I feel high from the kiss. Micah pulls me close and wraps his arms around me. I can’t wait to tell Frankie the good news. Ellz is grinning and giggling at us

“You too are so cute together! I want a boyfriend!” she pouted.

The van came to a stop.

“We're here!” Mark said

“Finally” I said

“Alright everyone listen up! We need to blend in. Nobody drinks. At all. Especially you mark; we all know what happened last fall ball when you spiked the punch!” I said earning giggles from the ones who remembered mark fall flat on his face in the middle of the dance floor, passed out.

“People people focus. Stay with your groups I gave you! We will all meet outside of the house at 23:00 sharp. Do you all understand the task in front of you?”

“Yes ma’am” The said collectively.

“Alright let’s head out. Remember people. Stealth is key. Do not give yourself away! I do not want to disappoint Mr. Santos and you DEFINATELY DO NOT want to disappoint me. I am not very merciful.”

They all nodded and we got out. I led them all to the door, Micah’s arm casually swung over my shoulders. He was my “boyfriend” now so why not for the party to. That will make us look more normal anyways.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this is the first part of the party op. I didn't want to put the party up with this one so I made them two separate chappies. I will put up chappie 8 tomorrow and it will be the whole party mission.
