Ejen Ali - Mission: Maximum Override (Ali x Alicia Fanfic)

Mission 2: Same Old Ali

Note: The briefing was supposed to start at 7am.

6:45am now.

Ali: C'mon, what's up with the traffic today?

He decided to take a shortcut through the alley and once again there was Syed & Shaun awaiting for his arrival.

Syed: There he is, that little brat.

Shaun: Hey! Stop right there!

Ali POV: Sigh. There they are again. Same old story. When they can ever quit? I just wrote their names in the discipline book cos they were committing obvious mistakes. I mean it's the right thing to do, rite? Low socks, untucked shirt, having the guts to throw rubbish everywhere, blah blah. Such simple rules & yet they can't obey it.

Ali: Oh hi. Mind getting out the way before your names are getting in the discipline book again?

Syed: Brat, acting smart just cos you are a prefect, hah?! Well, let's see how smart can you be if I landed a punch on your punchable face!

There was a moment of silence...

6:48 now.

Shaun: Uhm bro, we better settle this fast cos uhm it's going to be late.

Another moment of silence...

Syed: Yea, you are rite. Wait what?! Who cares about being late?! Most importantly, he is the reason on why we keep getting punished so we are definitely not going to let him go that easily!

Syed & Shaun then surrounds him.

6:50am now.

Ali POV: Ali just yawn knowing the fact that they can't do anything to hurt him. He then see an opportunity to escape the situation, there was a wooden ramp by the corner behind the netting.

Ali: You guys mind? I'm running late now, gotta go.

Syed: Of course we don't mind. Where you think you go- what the?!

In a flash, the scooter speeding passing them & went across the netting, this shows Ali instinct as an agent, even in his daily routine.

Ali: Oh, can you repeat that? I was too fast to catch it, hehe. Your names are definitely going into the discipline book since you guys are late. Once again. See ya.

Shaun: We are doomed...

Ali then went out of the alley & was force to stop due to red traffic light, another one of Ali's challenges. Well rules are rules.

6:53am now.

Ali: C'mon...why does this always happens?

The traffic light then turned green & Ali was zooming forward as fast as he can to avoid being scolded cos that's one thing he hates the most as this pretty much hurts his pride. Getting scolded is basically another way of expressing the fact that you are not a responsible person. Well, that's from Ali POV.

6:57am now.

Ali then was stopped by a new construction site, the school entrance was on sight.

6:58am now.

Ali: What the heck, I don't recall having any construction stuffs here yesterday.

Maybe it got something to do with MATA? He thought.

It was a huge construction thing going on as he had to go around it slowly, not realizing the minutes passing.

6:59am now.

There was the school entrance, it's in his sight. Just a few more steps & he did it. He made it to the school entrance although the briefing was held in one of the classes. There was a slight 20 seconds & he gotta make a run for it, checking every single classes cos he literally forgot which was for the briefing. He then saw the prefects gathering at a class on the first floor. He then ran for the stairs.

10...

9...

8...

7...

6....

5...

He made it to the first floor. Now then only if he could-

4...

3...

2...

Only a step away-

1...

Brrrrinnng...

The bell rang.

He made it. He made it in time. He was at the entrance of the class. Well from his POV.

Alicia: Ali bin Ghazali, you are late. Again. You are getting 5 demerit points of being late to this important briefing.

Ali: Wait what?! I made it obviously. How is this fair?!

Alicia: Well, you could have made it if not because of you being the outside the class.

Ali POV: She was right. I was still outside of the class. But how does this make any sense?! How is that a proper excuse of getting me demerit points?! There was this moment of silence as I can hear the other prefects whispering & giggling. Not even a single soul even tried a second to defend me or something. It was a pain in the ass but I gotta accept it cos it's Alicia Kheng & I can't change her decision that easily.

Ali: Sorry ma'am. I promise not to be late ever again. I got stuck in a traffic, plus there was a construction site-

Alicia: Is that even a proper excuse?

Ali: Hah?

Alicia: You could have wake up early. It's as simple as that & yet you can't even do it. Is that how prefects are suppose to act?

Ali: I mean I did wake up early, it's just that-

Alicia: You currently have 100 demerit points altogether. Now tell me why I shouldn't fire you.

Ali POV: It felt like getting stab over and over again. I can't express it. Getting fired cos of small mistakes? I can't let her win this but the fact that she is my teammate? Unbelievable. Believe me, I could have choke her now. If I were using I.R.I.S., it could have been controlled me now. I would have- but I can't. I just can't, cos I like-

A minute passed & Alicia immediately took the boy's badge and tie without any further questions.

Ali: Wait, I can explain!

Alicia: Yeah?

Ali: Uhm yeah cos I wanna serve the school and prove myself-

She ignored him & gave the tie & badge to the assistant prefect.

Alicia: Okay Ali, you can go back to class now to learn something instead of wasting your time here. Thank you for your commitment though, we really appreciate it. Okay, let's start the briefing now.

Ali POV: Everyone was going for their seats without saying a word. As seen on the whiteboard, the main matter was about students discipline. It was so casual that they just started the discussion anyway, it felt like me getting fired was nothing, it felt like my presence meant nothing to them.

Ali turned around & walked slowly back to class, holding his grip tightly. He was back to being his old self again.

Alicia gave the concern look but at the same time, she wanted Ali to be a better person, a more disciplined one.

Alicia POV: Sorry, Ali. I tried to help you but you are not helping yourself.
