Wally's World

Smithsonian High

The next morning it was off to school. Though it was not approved by many people a high school was opened up in the Smithsonian. Smithsonian high was a high school that was specialized for those kids that wanted to be professors and doctors. It was the type of school that was full of smart jerks. 10 years it had been operating. We had a full fledged sports program, and our student body always won many prestigious awards.

Working for the government as an agent granted me access into this school for free. Though it wasn't all glamorous. I was on the beck and call of uncle Sam. If they needed me to do something like go half way around the world and find survivors of an airplane crash then I might have to leave in the middle of a final exam. But it wasn't all that bad. I had my friends. Well I guess I had Wally Hanson's friends. I don't think I have any friends other than Ashley and Phil. But of course your guidance councilor and the girl that supposed to hate your guts can't be the people you go watch movies with, or invite to pizza after school.

My 'friends' were pretty chill with me disappearing all the time. The only one that really isn't is Wally's girlfriend. She hates it when I up and leave a party, or in the middle of a bowling game. I never actually was attracted to Mikayla Pastaz. In fact the only reason I am still dating her is because my cover can't draw too much attention to himself. The Mexican girl was new and asked me out. Surprised I knew that if I said no everyone would talk about me so I said yes. Since then for three years we have been dating. But like I said I am not attracted to her. She is just part of work. Its not that she isn't pretty or anything (I'd say she is hot), its just that I see her as work. A job related inquiry. It would be comparable to getting with a girl to get government secrets out of them.

"Earth to Wally!" I hear Mikayla say. I turned my head to face her. "Were you listening? I was talking about Melody and the girls going to Chaz's party"

"Right pick you up by 7?" I said

Her face was shocked. I may look like that I am not listening but in reality I am aware of everything that is going on. I was trained to sleep and memorize a conversation.

"Wow your good! Yeah we'll meet you at my place and head over to Chaz's house,"

"Right, right," I say

Break was never long enough, Mikayla always dragged me to our next class. We scheduled like that this year how we would have the same classes after lunch together. She was into birds. So I decided that Wally was into birds too. I was on track to becoming a doctor in zoology with an interest in birds (no actual interest though, personally space exploration is more interesting but whatever). Our zoology class had the most boring professor, and todays topic was particularly boring something about how chickens can't fly.

In was probably around this class when my life changed literally forever. A message came through summoning me to HQ. Claiming that they were on the brink of something amazing. My team was supposed to run a routine security check on the complex before those mad scientist tried to create a black hole below the planet.

Needless to say the teacher wasn't impressed with my fifth stomach problem that week, but whatever... Mikayla didn't seem happy either because I think she has drawn a correlation with missing plans and stomach bugs. Lmao. I head to my locker and grab my stuff. There is a military van parked in front of the space museum. I make way past the ancient jets and the spaceships. I take a look at the missiles on that line the wall. I sigh under my breath. Nuclear? I have disabled bombs 100,000 times more powerful.
