Assassin (discontinued)

Chapter 9 School Intro

We landed early in the morning. I was still groggy from last night. I ended up waking up a million times during the night because of the storm. We had bumps and thunder all around us. I could tell that Halo wasn't much better off. He had dark circles under his eyes and was yawning every two seconds.
"I can't believe we are actually here!"
I did my best to sound happy for Halo's sake but it only came out in a tired voice. He smiled a bit.
"Welcome to the United States, Nate."
I laughed as he bowed and held his hand out like he was asking me to dance. I simple pushed him making him stumble a bit.
"I know I shouldn't be complaining but I am so tired."
I caught Halo smiling out of the corner of my eye.
"You don't say."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well you kept waking up screaming, so I know you didn't sleep well."
"Ehum..."
We turned to a very stunt looking women in front of the black car. She kinda reminds me of a toad looking women. She had black short hair, black eyes, and a scowl on her face. The car trunk slammed shut and a boy with the same colored hair and eyes walked out. My guess he was her son, at least he had a smile on his face. Then the women spoke
"I am Tenny and this is my son Mark. We will be taking you two to your rooms where you can relax for a bit, then we will be taking you to your new school where my son goes."
I forced a smile upon my face but it was hard when you were this tired.
"Thank you ma'am, we do appreciate it, sorry that we are so... tired I feel very rude to be presenting ourselves to you two like this when you are so kind to take us in. Our family greatly appreciate it."
This made her smile seeing that we are formal people and know where we lie tends to help feed ourselves into their heart. I had a bit trouble with that lesson, but I did hate having to claim to be from a family when the truth is I didn't have one, but that is one of the things we were told to say. I looked up to see the women very happy and the boy a bit confused.
"Oh please, don't call me ma'am, just Tenny or mum will do, same goes for my husband, but due to work he wasn't able to come meet you two, but you both seem very friendly. Now I think we should get going."
The women turned and got in the driver side which I noticed was opposite then what our cars were. The boy got in the passenger side while Halo and I got in the back. Then we were driving and watching the plane leave back to Sweden.
      "Well, since we got a bit of a drive to go let set down the rules of our house."
The women stared to speak  so we both turned to give her our full attention.
"When we have work we all put an effort in to help, we all have weekly chores to be done and no going out unless with permission after 10:00 pm. When rules are broken their will be punishment and no fighting with one another. When Troy, my husband gets home there will be no hassle or arguing to anything he asks and no lying. Am I understood?"
Halo and I exchanged look, we were already not used to their sun changing because their morning is our midnight, so we are already tired and ready to sleep, but we have to stay awake. Just great.
"Yes, you are understood, but we will more than likely head out a bit early and go to sleep early due to the differences in time."
She nodded.
"That is understandable. One other thing, I understand you two are.... lovers, so please no pda at our house, we gave you a sharing room because your parents said it was fine but we put two beds in there, and they shall not be moved."
This time Halo spoke.
"Of course ma'am, we would not like to make you uncomfortable. That would be rude of us."
"Good to know that you understand that. Now since we don't really know you two, what is your names and ages, we won't get your transcripts and birth certificates till tomorrow and I heard you both took the US citizenship test, those will be here tomorrow as well."
Halo began to caugh, we weren't really given last names at the academy, so... I spoke for us.
"I am Nate Cole, and this is Halo Angel."
I looked up at the shocked look on the women's face but it was only there after I said Halo's name, oops.
"Your parents must of really religious."
Halo looked calm but I knew he was going to give me a talk latter.
"Yes they quite were, but I never met them because I am adopted as well as my twin brother to a different family, we both kept our sir names. "
I let out a quick sigh of relief at Halo's save, but right now I am really hoping the agency is getting the recording I am sending them.
"What is your ages?"
The boy spoke giving me a shock. He had a deep voice and it sounded very cold.
"Well I am 16."
I gestured to myself.
"18"
Was all Halo said. The boy narrowed his eyes.
"So you..."
He pointed at me
"... are a Sophomore and you are a Senior?"
"No.."
I spoke
"I am a Junior, I took a test that aloud me to skip a grade when I was younger."
He rose an eyebrow in impression.
"So you will be in the same year as me then?"
"I guess so. To be honest, I don't really know, it depends on where your... headmaster puts me."
The boy laughed.
"You mean head teacher?"
"Yeah I guess, sorry."
"Don't be, I call him that because I can't say the word for it."
I laughed a bit, then we were pulling into a driveway of a huge house with many windows and a giant front door.
"This is your house!?"
I said with my mouth open. Halo laughed and patted my shoulder. The women smiled at me.
"Yes, and this will be your new home till you go back. I got out of the car after Halo still staring at the house. Then I was carrying my luggage in. We were taken to the top floor of the house to a big bedroom at the end of the hallway with a shared bathroom inside and two giant walk in closets. It was absolutely beautiful. I spun around carefully placing my luggage by one of the beds.
"I hope this is ok. It isn't the most nice bedrooms we have but it is the one we have available..."
I stopped her babbling by running over hugging her.
"It is perfect." I thanked
She simply wrapped her arms around me and gave a motherly hug back. I let go a sat down on my bed.
"Sorry.."
She waved off my apology and smiled.
"It is okay, hun. I am glad you like it. How about you Halo?"
He smiled at her.
"If she is happy I am happy, thank you."
And with that her and her son walked out of the room. Halo and I quietly started unpacking our gear and weapons and hiding them around the room, in places we thought they would not look. Then we got out clothes that our boss bought that looked like normal teen clothes and stuff, such as blankets, school stuff, and posters and photos. Once we were done the walls we colorful and very normal looking. The closets were full of clothing and shoes and other stuff.
"Halo! Nate! Come on school!"
Halo and I exchanged looks of worry. We changed into more school appreciated clothes. Me in a flower skirt and blue tank with red shoes that matched the flowers on the skirt and threw on a jean jacket. I kept my hair down. Halo wore a black sports shirt and jeans with some black athletic shoes. I grabbed my black bag from the floor and Halo, his navy one. We ran down stairs grabbed a bagel and was out the door going on a yellow bus.
"You two must be the transfer students."
The older women stuck her hand out to shake and both Halo and me shuck.
"Yes, I am Halo and this is Nate."
She smiled.
"Well, you two go find a seat."
We did so, of course there wasn't any open seats so I looked like a lost puppy while Halo sat next to a boy that kept throwing a football in the air and catching it.
"Here, you can sit next to me."
A girl in a pink dress and brown hair said. I took the seat and met her startling green eyes.
"Thanks you, I am Nate."
She smiled.
"Molly, so where are you and that guy from, you both have very strong ascents."
" Sweden."
I noticed the heat rush to my face as I say it. I wasn't used to have my ascent noticed.
"Really what part?"
A girl peeked from the top of the seat in front of us. She had blond hair and hazel eyes.
"From a place called Uppsala."
"Omg! I have heard of that! I hear it is absolutely beautiful there!"
Another girl was peering from above but from the seat behind us. She had red hair and blue eyes. I smiled
"It quite is. I am sorry but what are your names."
The girl in front of me spoke.
"Oh I am sorry, I am Hazel and that is Tiffy."
I smiled,
"Nice to meet you both."
"Like wise. Hey but I have to ask, that boy that came on, he is so hot, are you two a thing?"
The load girl named Tiffy Peped up. I gave her a confused look.
"We are people, how could we be a thing?"
They all laughed at me making me turn red again.
" No silly, we mean like a couple."
I laughed a bit too.
"Oh yes."
They all squealed.
"How long? Where did you two meet? We need details!?"
Geez American girls really are into dating gossip.
"Well Halo and I were childhood best friends we grew up together practically. Me and him were put in foster homes at young age and they were close and we used to hang when we were younger and as we grew older we got closer, and we been dating for four years."
They all squealed again, and Molly spoke.
"Awe you two are adorable and you both even came to America together that is just... awe!!! Anyways What grade will you be in?"
"Oh I will be a Junior."
"Really I thought you looked more like a sophomore."
"That would make sense I skipped a grade."
Tiffy spoke again
"Oooo she is smart too, I swear his girl has no flaws. She is pretty, got taste in fashion and smart."
"Are you into any sports?"
Hazel finally asked a question, wow.
"I am athletic if that is what you are asking, but when you move a lot you don't join any sports teams usually."
"Awe that is too bad, but I can tell you are fit because damn girl you have muscles."
I blushed again due to Hazel.
"Well thanks. Umm what grade are you peeps in?"
"We are all Juniors as well."
I let out a sigh of relief
"Awe are you worried you won't know anyone?"
Question Molly.
"A bit I guess, I mean I went to a private school so everyone knew everyone."
"Really?"
They all said together.
"Yeah it was for smartest kids in Sweden, it is one of the hardest schools to get in but when you are determined you can do anything."
"That is amazing!"
Tiffy is seriously loud.
"You know what we should totally add her to our friend group. What do you girls think?"
"Duh, I thought she already was."
They all giggled and I smiled.
A bit latter we were arriving at a giant school that said Washington high. I have never seen so many people my age in one place in so long that it was a little nerve racking. My new friends and I all linked arms and walked in to meet more people, but I turned to the group once I saw Halo.
"Um guys I think I am going to go with Halo so we can get our schedules."
The girls all gave me a.... knowing smile I think and a wink and all pushed me towards him. I shyly walked towards him. He was in a circle of boys all wearing some kind of sport jersey. I tapped him on the shoulder, to have him turn to me with a smile.
"Hey, babe, what is up?"
I was a little shocked at his choice of words but I saw how the boys all looked at the two of us in shock so I just went with it.
"Nothin, but we do need to go get our schedules so we can actually go to class."
I heard the boys snickers and Halo smiled. Making them go silent.
"Well Halo, are you going to Introduce us to your girl?"
A boy with a letterman jacket that was on the bus asked.
"Oh yeah.."
He took my hand and pulled me in front of him so he could wrap his arms around my hips.
"This is Nate."
I shyly waved.
One of the boys in the circle broke the silence
"Hello Nate, I am Jake, may I ask you a question?"
"I don't see why not."
"How does a shank like this boy get a gorgeous girl like you?"
I smiled at the boy.
"He won my heart right off the start."
They all ooooed and patted Halo on the back like he just did the best thing ever.
"Well I think Halo and I got to get going, he will more than likely see you boys latter."
"Ok, well if you want, Nate, you and your new friends can come along."
I smiled at the guy from the boys offer.
"I will think about it, but how am I supposed to ask them if I don't know your name?"
"Dean"
"Ok then I will ask."
Then Halo and I were walking hand in hand into the building with people staring after us.
