Count on Me

Chapter18

Groggy and tired, I sat in class on Monday.  The weekend was not even the least bit productive, MI6 could get nothing on Ugly or the mystery girl.  They were practically ghosts. And above all of that I only got three hours of sleep this whole weekend,  because I was up every night, busy surveying Laurel's house, and doouble checking all her security, to make sure she was safe,  now that the threat was detected.

And the teacher was not helping with my foul mood either,  she kept on blabbering about the war of 1812 again,  she had given this same lesson a hundred times,  and I bet she would give it a hundred times more.

  Laurel had asked me quite a few times today if I was ok,  and each time I said that I was fine,  and she was about to lean over and ask me again, and I know this because I read her mind, Yeah I know it's wrong and all, but I have to practice and it's not like I go into her mind and steal all her deepest darkest secrets, just then the door tothe classroom opened revealing the principal and someone else,  although I couldn't exactly see who,  since  the principal stood infront of her,  shielding her face.

  "Good day students. " his voice boomed through the class,  clearly waking everyone,  from their sleepy state,  because of the boring lesson.

"We have a new exchange student with us today, all the way from China. " he stepped aside to reveal, the girl,  the girl from the warehouse the one who was working for Scorpion.  

"This is Yuki,  please make feel welcome." he said and with that he left.  

Yuki stood infront of the class she looked realy shy and uncomfortable. All the guys in the class were oogling her,  and I couldn't blame them,  she was really pretty.  

"Well Yuki,  you could just take a seat there next to Rowan,  and I will give you all you need after class. "our Teacher said, and started to continue with the lesson.

Once Yuki reached me,  she didn't seem to notice me from the warehouse, and I let out a sigh of relief.  

"Hi I'm Rowan " I said sticking my hand out to her,  I made sure to shield my mind to keep her from gaining access to my mind.  

She just looked my way and said,  "Yuki,  and not to be rude or anything,  but I really want to focus on the lesson. " I nearly snorted, but managed to hold it in, shortly she will know not to have said those words,  no one focuses on the war of 1812,  but she was  new so, I sort of understood.  So instead of saying what I thought, I just nodded and turned back to the bord.  I might have to work on another srtategy,  to get close to her.

After class I hurried to the janitor's closet,  I knew Calan's schedule, so he was bound to go  by there, and I needed to talk to him,  in private.  

I looked through the small crack of the door,  and once I spotted Calan,  I grabbed him, and pulled him inside,  before anyone could notice.

"What the.."he started,  but when he saw me he smirked, "well if you wanted to do this kind of thing you should have just asked. " he said and taking a step toward me.  

"First of all, Ew,  and second,  I need you to get close to Yuki." I said.

  "Who?"  

"Yuki,  the girl who's working for Scorpion,  she's like us, and now she's in our school,  she's the new 'exchange student ' and you have to get close to her,  because she doesn't seem to like me very  much." I explained.  

"What do you mean get close,  like date her? " he asked looking a bit shocked.  

"Yes,  and get her to trust you,  you know what they say, 'Keep your friends close,  but your enemies closer.' " I said,  when he looked like he was about to decline,  I gave him the best puppy-face I could muster.  

"Alright fine,  but you owe me. " he said.  

"Yeay,  thankyouthankyouthankyou!!" I said with glee and gave him a hug.  

"Now get back to class, or else you'll be late." I said and pushed him out of the janitor's closet.

Calan's POV:

I saw Yuki in two of my classes,  and I had to admit she was pretty,  nothing compared to Rowan though,  but still.  

After school ended,  I noticed that she was walking home. I decided to give her a headstart. I had a plan that alway seemed to work.    

I got into my convertable and drove till I was right next to  her.   "Hey,  need a ride " I asked her,  she looked a little frighttened,  by my gesture,  and just shook her head.  

"No thanks,  I'll walk,  it's not that far. " she said and walked a little faster.  

I  parked the car on the side of the road,  ond got out,  as I slammed my door she spun around, "What are you doing? "  

"Well it's a lovely day outside,  so I thought I might walk.   You could walk with me if you want. " I said,  when she shook her head,  I smirkedand said :

"That's alright,  I just thought,  that you would be good company. "I turned and started walking away.  

5..4..3..2..1  

I heard the sound of gravel,  crunching under shoes,  as her feet ran toward me. When she cought up, I smirked at her, and she gave me a shy smile,  I didn't understand how a girl like her could be bad.  

"I'm Calan by the way." I said stretching out my hand and she gradually shook it.  

"Yuki " she said,  our hands lingered,  a little longer than a normal greeting  would.  

We chatted a lot on our way to her house,  she only lived a couple of blocks away from my house.   "Well this is my stop " she said when we reached her house.  It was really small,  but it looked nice, It was two-storey,  painted white, and had green ivy that grew on the side of the house.

"Yeah,  I'll see you tomorrow at school. " I said,  and waved at her.  

"Thanks,  for walking me home. " she said sweeping a lock of hair from her face.  

"It was my pleasure. " I said and with that we went our seperate ways.   ======================================================================================
