Little Assassin

Chapter One

A nice fall morning. I hear my stupid alarm clock go off. Oh yeah thats right. Today is the day we get put into our training teams. I remove the covers from me, and weakly limp out of bed.

I step to the kitchen and try to find something to eat before I head out. It is 5:30 in the morning so I might as well. I look right into the fridge to see what's there. Oh wow empty, again. Just my luck. I still have leftover Crunchy Munch cereal. I just need...milk. My milk was 3 weeks expired. No way I'm drinking that crap. 

So I pour my cereal into my bowl. And for the liquid..I just put water. Shut up, it's the next best thing to milk. 

As I'm eating I begin to realize 10 minutes just past and now it's 5:41. So I finish the last of my cereal, which really wasn't much, and I step outside. I'm wearing a jumpsuit jacket with grey sweatpants and slides. I feel about ready. I have my tool pouch and radio on my hip. As I'm walking I see one of my friends, Oscar, he's been my homie since the sandbox days, Anyways, I see him and we bump fists. 

"So you've grown quite a bit since the last time I've seen you."he says comparing our height. 

Yeah I used to be pretty short. I was like 5'0 the last time I saw Oscar. Now I'm 5'5, still pretty short, but hey I'm getting somewhere, plus now I'm the same height as him and most of the other kids. 

"Yes, I suppose I have" I say to him giving a little cheeky smirk.

 We were only 13 during this time period so you could say we're average height.

 "Still not as tall as Lars." He said knowing I was going to get mad.

Lars. He is like, my arch nemesis. Well, he's always acting so cool, and he gets all the girls, and ALWAYS STEALS MY  SPOTLIGHT. Me and Lars friendship is very complicated. We've known each other since the sandbox days just like me and Oscar, but as we started to grow he started changing, and now he went from being that fun kid everyone wanted to be around, to a quiet buzzkill that's equivalent to a dead battery (At least in my opinion). Everyone loved being around him though for some strange odd reason. I know all of the last summer all he did was train and train and train even more. He's become one of the most skilled in the training academy. Then, theres me. I'm not so skilled in my studies. I have trained since last summer though and once I get into my training teams that I know will be with Oscar we can totally fight crime together. Our bond is just like batman and robin, it used to be with Lars, but he decided to become "too cool" for our group.

 I walk into the classroom and the first person I see, Rosalia. Thats been my crush since I was at least 6. 

"HEY ROSA-" I say as she runs right past me and goes straight to lover boy Lars. 

"Hey Lars." Rose said as he just looks giving her no attention. 

I get back up and go straight to that table where there Is a group of girls just staring right at the guy. Like I really don't like him but still he deserves his personal space, sheesh. 

I bust past the girls and look right at him, that good for nothing swine. "Sooo long time now see!" I say giving him that evil look. 

"Hmph." Is all he says as he continues to mind his business.

"Don't Hmph me, I don't know who the hell you think you are but theres no way I-" I stop as he gets up right in front of me, our noses basically touching. He gives me a very angry look.

"Axel, haven't changed a bit, still the most childish, stubborn one in the academy, would hate to be on your team." He said giving an evil smirk with a little giggle. 

Yeah my names Axel, It sounds evil I know but trust me I'm not a Lars. His name ACTUALLY goes with his personality. 

"I see you haven't ever lightened up, still the same boring Lars always acting tuff for the ladies." I say as we both look at each other in disgust. 

"AXEL LEAVE LARS ALONE!" Rosalia says coming through the group of girls. 

Just when I thought she would be on my side, she's too in love with Lars to even think about defending me. 

"Okay Okay, class take your seats. I will be handing out your team list papers now." Setra, our teacher said.

I go back to my seat right next to Rosalia, who is sitting next to Lars. 

I give Oscar a thumbs up because we both know we're gonna be on the same team. 

He gets his paper, and frowns. So he lifts it up and shows it to me. 

TRAINING TEAM 2

OSCAR VELARIS

KATRINA ESPINO

DARIUS GRAY

My face drops, I'm not going to be on the same team as Oscar, then who's team will I even be on.

Setra passes my paper to me. My face drops.

TRAINING TEAM 5 

AXEL BUKARI

ROSALIA ERINIA

LARS SIBRIAN

"WHAT NO WAY, THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" I say getting out of my seat. 

"YAY I'M ON THE SAME TEAM AS LARS!" Rosalia said looking right at the guy again.

"This can't be true, TEACHER CAN I PLEASE GET ANOTHER TEAM!"

"I'm afraid that's not how it works." He says smiling.

"You know damn well I don't get along with this..this..SWINE."I say putting my arm on the desk.

Then our of nowhere all these girls start bombarding me, including Rosalia. 

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT LARS?" Rosalia says as her face begins to turn red. 

"I said-" I stop in my speech as I see my surroundings. If I even said another word about the guy I'm dead meat. So on that note, I just walked right out of room and didn't say a word.

It was lunch time anyways, so while I was walking I bumped into the boy himself. He doesn't eat school lunch, that's another thing he's "too cool" for. 

He looked at me making some slick face and just going back to eating him crumpet. He thinks he's so fancy just because he's eating a British food with tea. Yeah SOOOO fancy. 

I go right behind the tree. My plan is to finally catch him when he least expects him and everyone will see me and be like "Ohhh he's on the same level as Lars we should totally like him more." 

So I see him walking with that damn crumpet. I reach to get a star, and wait for the right moment. He's just sitting there and doesn't notice me in the bushes at all. 

It begins to get real quiet, Then, I strike, Im make noise in the bushes so he could think I'm in there, then I throw my star, not just any star, this ones special. It has a special kick to it. Anyone who throws it has control over where it goes. So there's no way I'll miss. He jumps as he heard the bushes. And becomes aware very fast. He moved away from the star as I rotate it right back around in front of him and just like that, poof. I appear right behind him ready to sneak attack. 

He turns around and as I'm getting ready to kick, he grabs my damn leg and starts swinging me around like I'm some kind of doll, then he drags me to the ground and when I tell you that was one of the most painful things I ever experienced. My back bent and I began screaming. 

He gets a closer look to see who it was, when he sees me he begins to chuckle. 

"Pathetic!" He says walking away eating the last bite of his crumpet.
