Valentina POV

"No Flavio! It's not what it -" I shouted. It must've looked completely wrong from where Flavio was standing. Freddy just stood there. Unsure of what to do. He just casually walked halfway down and sat on the stairs, as if he didn't give to damns about what was going on. I walked away from the position I was in and leant on the wall on the floor. You know what? I don't care. Let him run off. He's just a guy, right? I mean...I'm meant to be heartless so I will and shall remain heartless.

I continued with the training excersise. Trey put his arms on both sides of my neck. I lunged and threw up my knee, hitting him in the groin. I pushed him over, like Hailey did, then sat on his stomach and punched his face like there was no tomorrow.

Running, Hailey stopped me from beating Trey up any further. She held back my arms and I continued kicking. Why am I so angry? I kept on thinking. I was taking out all my anger on poor Trey who was probably really badly injured. Gosh!

Flavio  POV

What have I got to do to make her love me back? Gosh I'm 21 and I keep thinking of marrying her. Actually making her my bride. I mean, how is she going to be my bride if I have no confidence in even facing her or talking to her? Damn it.

I went to the shooting room in another building on campus. I picked up a rifle, wore my goggles and shot the heads off all the mannequins. I must have been overreacting. No no. I saw them. She was gazing into his eyes and he had his arms near her neck, that typical high-school flirt scene. To be completely honest. I. Give. Up.

Rapidly, the rifle hit me in the abdomen several times because of the vibration however, I kept on shooting. Shooting and shooting. Suddenly, the door burst open and Trey walked in. He was walking closer and closer towards me and his face was filling with frighteneing anger.

I wasn't scared. Trey looked my age and our physical states were the same. Both muscly and strong. I held my gun in a poised position and aimed it at him. His anger was too powerful. He grabbed the rifle, twisted it (causing my arm to twist) and it fell to the floor. Hitting me in the jaw, he threw a punch in my face. Causing so much pain.

I cupped my cheek with my hand and finally lost it. I lunged myself at him, throwing him on the floor. His head crashing against the hard marble floor. He picked up the gun on the floor slowly and aimed it at my head. He was on the floor and I was standing up. If he shot me, my blood would pour on him.

Hesitantly, I stepped back, giving him some space to get up and compose himself. He dusted himself off and cocked the rifle. "What exactly is your problem? You're here to assassinate. You're an assassin. You're meant to be strong, wise, heartless. Heartless. You ruined a perfectly amazing moment between me and Valentina. Keep away. Whilst I'm here she's mine, my objective. Nothing more. Got it, sucker?" Trey roared. Gosh, if only Val only knew how obsessive he was, I couldn't help but think.

"Fine. Have her. I've given up anyway," I sighed in defeat. "Take the gun. I'm gone. I'm going back to training, Trey."

With that, I walked off. Whilst walking through the emerald grass and passed the whistling trees, I got lost in my thoughts. You know what? I thought. He's right. I am and assassin and trained to be brutal and heartless. I have to keep that position and carry out missions. I will not get caught up in any romance. Especially with that Valentina.

Valentina POV

Flavio came into the room and sat on the stairs beside Freddy. He hadn't even come up to me! Focus, Val. You said you'll remain heartless! my conscience yelled at me. I continued punching the mannequinn alongside Hailey and Sophia. Hailey tapped my shoulder and put her hands on my face. Her hands were covered with boxing gloves. "Take out all your anger on these, Val," she said.

I punched so hard on both of the gloves with my bare hands that Hailey started to stumble. There's one thing with Hailey: she looks and acts so delicate but, boy when she fights! She's like an undercover ninja. So I took the boxing gloves, wore them and let Hailey punch.

My hands thrudded in pain, vibrating and shaking at every punch thrown. In the end I fell backwards. Hailey is very strong. I mean very strong.

I walked out of training and into the Op room. No-one who isn't a part of Leadership can go into the Op room but I was on my own private mission. I wanted to escape the Minor Agents' block, fetch Aqua and Lucas and go home. Only for a bit of course, but I had to. I had to talk to Esme and Leo.

The only way to get passed the locked doors and ultra high security was your finger print, and I could get a member of Leaderships one. I walked into the Op room and Mr Whitehead was opening and checking files. He hadn't noticed my quiet entrance into the room so I stood next to him and leant forward, blocking out the light. "Summers! What are you doing in here?" he shouted in a whisper. "If you get caught you could be killed!"

"Erm, yeah. So... the new guy. Trey. He's a very good trainer. My age, right?" not giving Mr Whitehead any time to answer the question, I continued quickly. What I was saying was complete and utter nonsense. "Yeah, is it okay if see his file. Just really quickly. Just show me where he studied, I might wanna check it out?"

He grabbed the file and handed it to me. It only had one page. Whitehead had taken out the others for obvious reasons. He continued looking through the files and I stuck sellotape on the file tip where Whitehead help. I peeled it off and walked out of the Op room, dropping the file to the floor.

When I arrived safely in my room, I stuck the fingerprint covered sellotap onto a bit of playdoh and peeled it off again. A perfect fingerprint that can get me passed all doors and security stoppages.

0000 hours

I crept out of my room with the fingerprint allowing the door to open. All I had to do was get Aqua and Lucas and escape this place to go and meet Leo and Esme. Then I could come back. Back late, around seven or nine in the morning.

Creeping, I reached the main exit of the Minor Agents' block and suddenly heard shuffling behind me. I froze. I didn't want to look back to soon, but then I did. Luckily, no one was there. I continued walking. The door was metres away from me.

Abruptly, a hand grabbed at my waist, flung me around and whispered, "Well where do you think you're going at this time?"

Busted.
