FBI Academy (Prequel to Newbies)

Chapter 6 - Diego's POV

This was going great.

Haha kidding.

Seriously though, there was only maybe one decent boy here. It was the boy with curly hair and blue eyes, and he was trying to make some dad jokes already. The aussie guy was trying (and failing) to rip off his t-shirt with one hand. I think he said he was 'practising for the girls' but I doubted that any sensible girl would stay within a kilometre of him after long.

To be fair, I did try to do it too, but in PRIVATE.

The other one looked like he wouldn't be able to go through much training. Who knows, though - maybe he could have some brains on him.

Maybe I'm not the most sensible person, but at least I know for a fact that I am a ladies man. Some people might say that I'm not, but I have a SUBTLE way of working. I'm a demi. True though, I'm a playboy - but I just haven't found someone who's really for me.

Anyway, after we got changed we met back in the first room. Harper (she's nice but a bit scary) started to take us on a tour of the place. (*A.N see the image above*). We went round the whole of the academy, including the dorms, but there wasn't time to go round the whole place - that would take a day - no, way MORE than a day. She pointed out the further places though - the Lab, the Shooting Range and the Drug Sector. Harper also had random facts for each place and often each person - how someone had accidentally called the head of the FBI (her predecessor) and it was now a tumblr post*, how someone had knocked over a stand of cannabis and made everyone there high, how someone had died undercover protecting a tiny but crucial piece of evidence that turned out to be a red herring. The last story creeped us all out, especially Eustace (I learned that was the 'other one's name).

We also learned each others names, which was helpful.

Aussie guy = Kasey

'Other guy' = Eustace

Dad joke guy = Alfie

Blonde curlymop = Natalia

Diana = Diana (We went to high school together)

Maroon and glasses = Cara

Unicorn girl = Patricia

I tried to pay attention most of the time, but I couldn't help think about which one of the girls I could try to hit on. Kasey was already standing too close to Cara - as I watched she backed away and tumbled into Alfie, who caught her and moved her away from Kasey, and then resumed listening to every word. Patricia was dancing along, singing a song I couldn't quite make out and very obviously in her own world. I envied her. My brain was ALWAYS thinking about SOMETHING, usually girls.  So that left Natalia and Diana, who were listening and laughing about almost everything Harper said. Hmm...

I moved over to them, and waited for an opportunity. It went something like this:

Me: Are you copper and tellurium? Because you're CuTe

Diana: Copper-Tellurium alloy makes the metal easier to cut, so I'd rather be tungsten - the strongest metal ever

Me: Oh, is this a science lesson? Or am I just sensing the chemistry between us?

Natalia: You try to tell chemistry jokes, but there is NO reaction. I'm Arom, she's innocent

Me: What kind of fruit juice?

Diana: NO. DUDE. NO. THATS NOT HOW U DO IT

Natalia: Dia-

Diana: I FUCKING NEED TO TEACH YOU

Alfie: Diego can u teach me some lines

Diana: DUDE

Harper: For who?

Diana: NO

Alfie: Ummmmmm.... NOT TELLING YOU

Diana: I'll TeAcH bOtH oF yOuuuuuuu

Fortunately, by then I was spared my embarrassment by Harper almost tripping over, and only just regaining her balance. Eustace just happened to be behind her at that moment and DID trip over, causing Harper to roll her eyes and Diana and Natalia to giggle. Really, those two are SERIOUS giggleboxes.

***

At the end of the tour Harper guided us all back to the dorm rooms, and chucked us in our respective rooms. It wasn't that much, just girls in one and boys in the other. Each room had two  bathrooms (she explained they used to be rooms of two, but they accidentally knocked the wall down because a couple of students thought it would be funny to sneak out explosives) and each person had a bed, a desk, a mirror, a shelf, a bin and a wardrobe. The rooms had a balcony too, but Harper locked it because 'all you lot are learning escape tactics and it opens only when you've picked the lock'.

Smooth.

Afterwards we had about 15 minutes of down time and all the girls apart from Cara dumped their stuff and rushed off to the snack room. Eustace and Alfie went too, and Harper walked off. I could have sworn I heard her mutter 'morons' as she went. 

I walked into the dorm to steal the best bed and set out my stuff. Kasey had already stolen one, so chose the one at the complete other end of the room. Honestly, that guy is a bit weird. ALL the others were a bit weird. I'M a but weird. But still...

*A.N: Ok this chapter had a weird ending, and I've made it the 6th one. Ik ik thats weird but I had to put something in bcos the next one (Cara) was completely out of context otherwise. And yes i havent updated for a month but whatever*
