The Assassin's Secret (on hold)

Ch. 9: Is that a Threat?

>>>Amanda Sayfried as Mackenzie!!

"D'you two want to eat lunch with us?" Kyle inquired after 4th period.

I exchanged a glance with Freddie. "Sure, that would be awesome. Thanks!"

As I walked down the halls to the cafeteria, I was suddenly pulled to the side. I was about to use my killer-ninja moves on them, but decided to see what they wanted before hurting the unknown person. Instead of going crazy on them, I sharply yanked myself out of the person's arms, and turned to see who it was. I was met with sparkling blue eyes and a face caked with makeup. I raised one eyebrow at the cheerleading-looking girl, and she said in an infuriated voice,

"I don't know who you think you are, coming here and taking Justin right from under our noses, but let me tell you this, newbie, school won't end up well for you if you continue this façade."

I gave her an amused glance, and did all I could to not laugh, but never less a snicker slipped out. I assumed she was trying to be all "I'm cheer captain and I'm scary and can make life in high school horrible for you," but did she seriously peg me as the type of girl that would be afraid of that? I had to resist slapping some sense into her literally, so I decided to do it metamorphically.

"Nice use of the big words crazy cheerleader chick! I'm very impressed that such extravagant language can fit in that little blond head of yours. The teachers must have upped the minimal grade for you girls to be able to stay in the squad! Just wondering, though, was that your version of a threat? And what were you trying to accomplish by that? Because if you thought I would be scared of you and bow at your manicured toenails, then you've got something coming for you. No, I'm not going to 'steal' you little school's Prince Charming, so I think it would benefit the both of us if you just laid off. Unless you can, against all odds, pull off a black eye well?"

I smirked a little at her stunned face, and gave her a girlie wave before greatly exaggerating a flip of my hair and the swaying of my hips. I strutted down the hall until I turned the corner, where I sprinted, eager to get some food into my stomach, which was currently making dying whale noises.

"Hey, where'd you go? You just kind of disappeared in the halls," Freddie said, looking up from the half-eaten folded pizza slice in his hand with a questioning look. I never understood why people do that. I mean, why fold your pizza when you can just eat it regularly and enjoy the flavor more?

"Um, well, a possessive cheerleader gave yours truly a little chat. It was pretty hilarious," I said, unable to hold back a snort-laugh. Yeah, I was not the most beautiful face when it came to laughing, but when you're an assassin, who really cares?

"Hilarious? I thought Mackenzie was supposed to be intimidating," Liam said with a funny look on his face.

"Oh, her name's Mackenzie? That's such a cliché popular girl's name," I replied with a grunt. "Nah, I kinda gave her a taste of her own medicine, you know, and I flipped the situation so that I was the one making the threats, not Mackenzie."

Freddie sent me a grin that said, 'that's my girl,' and I couldn't help but smile back at him. My stomach made another sound that could wake zombies from their graves, and I sent the boys a sheepish smile. I then briskly walked to the lunch line, the sound of their laughter growing fainter as I retreated.

Author's Note

Hey y'all. So I know this is short but hopefully if I get my homework done I can update again today.

So how do ya like Justin?

How about Kyle?

Anyways, I hope that you all have a spazilastic evening! oh and I recommend anything by Sharon Creech. She's a really good read, but she writes easier books that you can get through pretty quickly. I especially liked The Wanderer.
