The Crooked Hero (Under reconstruction)

Our Day Out

Nia's Pov

I wonder about that girl I met yesterday. She seemed as though she wants something from me. But I can't worry about that right now, I need to get to P.E.

I made it inside the auditorium, and the coach is explaining about rope climbing. Gosh, I hate P.E... I practically already know this stuff! This is all basic training!

"Hey Nia, over here!"

That's odd, I recognize that voice... 

I observe everyone closely, searching for the one calling out to me. And in the distance I see Melanie, joyfully happy, waving at me... 

That's weird, why is she calling for me? A girl like her would surely have plenty to friends. 

She gestures me to come over to her.

oh geez... what now? 

I walk over to her wondering of what she could possibly want from me.

"Hey, the coach said we needed to grab a partner, can you join me?" She says in a somewhat pleading way. 

I just don't get it... why on earth do you need a partner for rope climbing? Do you want people to be there just in case they fall? That's why there is a rope to connect to everyone.

"Oh, I know what you're probably thinking, why on earth do we need partners for climbing the rope right?"

"Yeah, actually I was."

"What I mean is, there's an event that's coming up for a parkour tournament and I REALLY wanted to join! So, will you join me?" she begs, gripping her hands together.

Her eyes, its like they were sparkling. I have always wondered if this girl was human. The things she does seem unreal, and at times just plain creepy...

   The more I stare into her eyes, the more weirded out I get. But maybe this whole tournament thing won't be so bad.

"Alright, I'll do it. But it better be worth it!" I say as I cross my arms.

"Really, thank you so much!" Melanie cheers while jumping in the air. 

Thankfully P.E was over after we finished some cardio exercises. Heading to my dorm, I decided I was going out today. Maybe if I were out, Monogram could try leaving something for me. At least I hope...

  I grab a tracking gadget, spy glasses, and a tiny dust kit just in case I need it. I head towards the door, wiring the fingerprint into my GPS. But I know something is going to happen. I bet someone is coming to check on me, so I jog over to my couch and put everything inside a leather purse. The moment I rotate the knob and flings the door open, Sargent Gomez was standing there ready to knock as suspected.

"Oh, hello Nia." She says with a comforting grin.

"Hey, Sargent what's up?" I reply throwing the bag onto my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to come to check up on you. So, what are you up to?" She says glaring at the bag.

I knew something like this would happen...

"Oh nothing, I thought I would do a little sightseeing and some shopping."

"Good to know, because I was wondering if..."

Gomez was cut off due to Melanie calling my name. She ran up to me with information about the tournament. Gomez seeing this, was ecstatic.

"Nia, whose this?" She says smiling uncontrollably.
