An Assassins World

Chapter 19

I open the door to a smiling Jason.

"Good morning." He beams.

"Morning Jay." I respond and smile back. "Rey said he wanted to drive himself..." I tell him.

"Oh." He sounds slightly unhappy yet also kind of glad. Maybe he thinks Rey hates him or something.

"Don't take it personally, I'm sure it's just because I never let him drive my baby... I mean, our car." It actually pained me to say it was 'ours'. It should be mine. And mine alone.

Jason laughs it off and I step closer to him so I can close the door behind me. He wasn't expecting me to be that close though, so I see a little panic set in his eyes when he stops laughing.

"To school?" I ask.

"Uhh....y-yeah." he stutters.

I start walking towards his car and turn around to him when he doesn't move.

"You coming?"

"Y-yeah." he stutters again.

"You sure you're okay?" I ask once again.

"I'm fine, thanks to you." he says as he also makes his way to his car.

"Great." I smile at him and get into the passenger seat.

He gets into the drivers seat and turns on the engine.

It's warm in here, I really really don't want to go to that hell hole they call a school.

Then an idea pops into my head.

"Jay?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever ditched school?" I ask with a mischievous smile.

"No... why?" he says and I can hear the worry in his voice.

"Well there's a first time for everything." I say to myself. "How about we don't go to school today?"

Jason takes some time to think it over.

"Emm... I don't know... I have a test coming up..." he says quietly.

"Oh come on. Just this once then you can revise to your hearts content." I try persuading him.

I feel like a really bad influence on him. oh well. You Only Live Once right?

"But-"

"Let's go ice skating." I tell him, not really giving him a choice.

"I don't like the cold..." he says and I can already tell he's giving in.

"Fun fair?"

"I'm not a fan of rides."

"Casino?"

"I don't think they open this early and they most likely wouldn't let us in."

"Paintball?"

"I've never tried but I heard it hurts a lot."

"Okay okay." How does he live? I feel like he's lived all his life covered in bubble wrap and never taking any risks... it's kind of sad when you think about it.

"I have one last option that you are not allowed to say no to." I tell him slowly.

"It's dangerous isn't it?" he says with the worry even stronger in his voice.

"Sadly, no." I reassure him. "It's quite safe actually."

"What is it?" he asks sounding curious.
