Angels Can Fly

Chapter 7 ~ School

Ashley's POV

It was Tuesday the first day of the week - yesterday was a public holiday. I HATED school. Yes all my friends were there and I didn't get bullied but the teachers. The teachers! Ok so no one else apart from Piper, Seth and Bailey knows about my past OR the fact that I'm in the FBI. So they pressure me SOOOO freacking much about homework, school work and all that other stuff.

When I don't get an assignment in on time they ask why. Of course I've been working on missions and saving the world and stuff but I can't EVERY tell them that. It's just SO unfair. The others agree too, thank god cause I didn't want to be the only one who had trouble. And there's another thing. When people ask me what my dad does for a living I have to say he's a policemen. Technically it's kind of true but I still don't like it!

There are also the "mean girls" - the group of bitches. Sophie, Nikki and good old Jacqui. I got up out of bed and nudged Bailey.

"Bailey..."

He turned over To face me.

"Hey..."

"It's 6.30 come on time to get up!"

I walked into the bathroom. I washed my face and moisturised. I went back into the bedroom to make sure Bailey was up. He wasn't. He knew what was coming next.

"5...4...0"

I jumped on the bed and flopped next to Bailey.

"Ok...ok I'm up!"

"Well come on, what's for breakfast?"

We walked hand in hand to the kitchen to get pancakes ready for everyone. I got out the plates and maple syrup and Bailey flipped the pancakes. Seth carried Piper out to the kitchen and put her on a chair. I flipped a pancake onto Piper and Seths plate.

I looked over at Bailey who was getting green tea and his own pancakes. He caught my gaze and wrapped me in a warm hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"I love you..."

"I love you more..."

I pulled away, got my own pancakes and a hot chocolate and sat down next to Piper with my laptop. I checked for missions even though there weren't usually any on school days although sometimes there are emergencies. There were none today, except my unfinished business with Semara's HQ.

After we finished our breakfast we got ready for school. Piper and I went into our bathroom to put on makeup and do our hair. I put on my favourite CoverGirl outlast 3 in 1 foundation and powdered my face, I filled in my eyebrows, put on a layer of Maybelline Falsies mascara and a layer of Revlon lip butter on my lips.

I straightened my hair that fell below my ribs and tied it in a ponytail. I went into the bedroom and admired the clothes I had set out the night before. I put on a pair of high waisted denim shorts and a plain black singlet under my favourite Adidas zip up jumper. I put on my white converse high tops and grabbed my tiffany blue backpack.

I walked into the lounge room and met everyone there. Piper had on minimal make up and had chucked her blonde hair into a messy top knot. She had on skinny jeans and a crop top that said "to haute to handle". She had on her all black nikes and her Sportsgirl shoulder bag.

The guys had on jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. Typical. We went down to the car and got in Piper's Audi convertible. Piper and I were in the two front seats with Piper driving and the guys were in the back. She put down the roof and turned up the radio.

We sang all the way to school. As we parked the car and got out one of my friends from maths class came over to say hi.

"Omigod Ashley! I feel like I haven't seen you in FOREVER!"
