The Mask of Betrayal

Bonding Time

Unfortunately the technology we needed to start the next phase of the plan wasn't ready and as such I needed to go back to school.

As I walked out of my home I immediately got blinded by the harsh glare of the sun, it was now summer and a heat wave had hit us hard. As I started walking to my school I felt a soft finger tap my back, you know I don't know if its a good thing but since I was kidnapped by her I guess I recognise the feeling of her hands. "Ew some bug is on my shoulder" I smirked as Sophie ran in front of me pouting.

"How dare you call me just 'some bug' I am the Queen Bug thank you very much!" She giggled as I noticed the light tint of red on her lips.

"You're wearing lipstick I see" I said pointing out the observation I had.

"Huh, you noticed huh? The moths said-" She shut herself up blushing up.

"They said what?" I asked as she looked away shyly.

"That you might like it" She whispered to herself, unfortunately for her I heard it all.

"Well I do," I smiled as I pecked her cheek and held her hand "lets head to school" I smiled as she nodded smiling walking beside me.

As we were walking up the long road we would wave to people we both knew, on one hand I waved to my boss who was just opening the shop as Sophie would wave to a friend who rode past on her red bike.

"Who knew the infamous Luna Girl knew so many people?" I smirked as she hushed me quickly.

"Don't call me that, besides I'll have you know since you went missing at school I made TONS of friends!" She huffed.

"Yeah yeah I'll believe you for now" I smirked walking ahead of her with her shouts of frustration behind me.



"Hey you made it to school finally" Omero smirked as I smirked back.

"Yeah, sitting around waiting for clones to be made is boring ya'know?" I retorted.

"Maybe for you but as a scientist you have to relish in your success, surely you know of that?" He responded.

"Yeah but your means of relishing and my means are two separate things Omero" I sighed as we, along with Luna Girl walked into school, we separated to our different classes and I sat down in my normal seat.

As I sat down looking out of the window I felt my desk tremble slightly, as I looked I saw my old 'friend' Cameron with his foot on my desk. "So he returns, where have you been buddy?" Cameron asked in a mocking tone.

"Oh I was busy fucking your mother last night, you did hear her screams last night no?" I asked as I remember last night...

I snuck outside Camerons house as I played a fake tape of his mother moaning my name

"GRR ILL KILL YOU" He roared as I burst out laughing.

"ahh you're too easy to trigger Cameron, now run along and find someone that actually gives a shit about your angst problems" I smirked as he stormed off angrily leaving me to chuckle to myself feeling another person...or two people watch me.

"You're back Greg..." A familiar male voice said to me as I turned to see Connor and Amaya.

"Yeah I am..." I said as the two approached me.

"Was it really wise antagonising Cameron Greg?" Amaya asked as I sighed.

"Probably not but its fun to do, you know?" I asked as Connor shook his head.

"No it's not, its just annoying to watch someone that has so much good in his heart resort to this." Greg said as I glared at him.

"Oh im sorry, I am a teenager I am FULL of angst so I have to let it out somehow" I smirked as the two walked away

"too easy" I muttered to myself as the lesson started...

"That test was TOO easy" Omero bragged as we sat outside the back of the school, we were sitting on a red bench that was enough for three people to sit on. I was in the middle with Omero and Sophie sitting next to me, I was eating my Sandwich as Sophie was trying to drone out Omeros bragging voice.

"You're too annoying for your own good Mad Scientist" Sophie sighed.

"Quiet Bug Girl" Omero retorted.

"Quiet both of you I'm trying to eat here" I sighed as I saw a baseball fly in the air "So today is Baseball day" I said to myself as Sophie also watched the ball fall to the ground.

"Seems like it, I always thought Baseball looked fun but never tried it" Sophie smiled.

"Yeah well you can count me out I don't want to waste my time playing when I could spend my time working on my precious experiments" Omero huffed.

"Oh come on you're just saying that because you have low stamina" I laughed as Sophie joined in the laughing and Omero sighed.

"Although that could be a fun team building exercise you know, build the trust between us now that we have an army to think about?" Omero recommended.

"Yeah that makes sense, even in the First World War both sides of the war would meet up in the battlefield and play football on Christmas so its kinda in the same vein as that" I remembered.

"Except we are all on the same team" Sophie smiled "For once you made a GOOD idea Omero" She laughed.

"HEY ALL MY IDEAS ARE GREAT!" he growled.

"Oh yeah like all those attempts before I came along that failed at beating the masks?" I taunted as Omero growled at me.

"Hmph!" Omero looked away as we all started laughing at our silly actions, yeah...that was the time before phase 3...I had friends...I had a place I could call my own...its sad it had to come to a close so suddenly...and one of us would never be the same ever again...
