Spy School

Chapter 4 Departure

I quietly sulked at the corner of the room, well at least pretending to sulk. Erica seemed to buy it and walk towards me. I thought about the deal and was going to pretend to take it. Now I thought all I have to do is get Erica out of the room I though even Erica can't know about this or i'll put her in danger. Erica slowly crept towards me like I was an highly dangerous animal or something. She laid a hand on mine. "Don't touch me!" I yelled she immediately backed off her eyes showed regret and sadness. "fine" she said colder than ever, but she turned and walked away. "I'm sorry Erica it's nothing personal" I muttered under my breath as the door closed. 

Erica's P.O.V.

I picked the lock at Ben's room after I heard him turn the shower on. I steeped inside the room there was a bed, a bathroom, a closet and other things. I close the door lightly and sat on the bed waiting to apologize to him and tell him what had happened when I heard someone talking in the shower, but it wasn't Ben. Instead it sounded like a female and I felt Jealousy pour over me. I thought for a moment why would a girl be in a shower with Ben? Suddenly I blushed oops not the right choice of words. I thought maybe a recording. Judging by the sound, yes definitely a recorder.

Suddenly Ben stepped out of the bathroom looking as handsome and as- wait no i'm here to talk I thought to myself not to flirt. Ben seemed surprised that I was sitting on his bed then he said "What are you doing here?" he asked angrily "Ben if you just let me explain-" "Explain!?" he screamed there's nothing you can explain. he poured out everything he hated about me how I always was so cold and distant around him.

He finally sat down in the corner of the room sulking in his knees I cautiously and slowly stepped towards him careful trying not to trigger another flare. I put my hand over his "Don't touch me!" He yelled. I looked at him sadly and coldly."fine" I said this time everything I thought of him was gone and I stepped out of his room"

I thought about the recording and felt jealous immediately. Was that his girlfriend? I thought hatefully well only 17 minutes till we land and I better get my luggage ready. I said trying to get the hurt out of my head.
