The mission - Lashton

1. First day of high school

Unedited

I pick up my phone and check the caller ID. "Mister Dixon I can't do this." I say the minute I pick up the phone. "Ashton calm down. I have a idea. What do you think about me bringing you to school? I'll pick you up alright?" He says calm and I think about it for a second. "Alright" I answer and hang up. I get up and walk to the bathroom to get ready.

"Hi son, are you nervous." Mister Dixon asks when I get in the car. I nodd and sit down closing the car door slowly. "I know you are nervous it is your first day of real school. But don't think about it that way. It stays a mission and you never get nervous because of missions. You are a class 6 spy Ashton." Dixon says and again I just nod thinking about it.

"We are here Ashton come on get out." Mister Dixon says. "I'm scared Mister Dixon." I say softly and he clibs back inside of the car. "Hey, don't be it is only studying and the people here are verry nice. Just think about it like it's a few hours a day learning interesting things." He says patting my back. "But what if I'm not smart enough. I never been to school before." I say and he chuckles softly. "You are one of the smartest people I know Ashton. And this isn't really school isn't it. It's just like training and you are good at that right?" He asks and I nod thinking about sport training I was scared about that to but now its really fun. "What if we go get some food afterwards and you can tell me about your day. I'm never far away son." He says with a smile I nod eargerly and hop out of the car walking towards the building I go to every day.

We stop in front of a big building. Not as big as the office but big enough to get lost in. "We are here, don't be scared now Ashton." Mister Dixon says. I nod but don't move "I'm scared, what if I fail the mission." I say softly and Dixon sighs "Have you ever failed a mission?" He asks and I shake my head. "Then why would you fail this one?" I shrug not knowing how to answer the question. "You will be fine ashton just like always okay. See it as a mission and not as school. Follow the rules and everything will be fine. I made John put a map of the school in your phone so you won't get lost." He says and I smile slightly and thank him. "I'll pick you up after school to get some food and then you can tell me about your day okay." He says and I nod again. "Remember-" I cut him of "Your never far away I know. Thank you." I say and get out of the car looking at the school. "It's just a mission. It's just a mission." I think and with those thoughts I walk into the school.

"John can you show me the map please." I say softly to my phone. A map dissapeared on the screen and I said thank you. I looked at the map and it said were my locker was and all the classes I had. I walked to the locker getting my books out of it and walking to the first class I would have. Maths fun! I said to myself I put on my glasses and walked in sitting in the back of the class so I could see everybody. A few came in before the bell and after the bell rang the last few people came rushing in. One guy caught my attention he had bright blue hair and a huge smile on his face. I followed him with my eyes as he walked up to me and went to sit next to me. "I'm Michael and you must be the new kid. Since I have never seen you before." Michael said and I looked at him. "Ashton." I simply said and he smiled. "You are good looking I was expecting some kind of weirdo to be honest. Since I am your guide and you didn't show up." He says and I shrugged. "I can find everything by myself thank you. And notbecause you are my 'guide' you need to flirt with me." I say and he chuckles. "I was just complementing you. Saying someone looks good doesn't make it flirting. And not because you can find your classes means I can not guide you. I know interessting places in here." He says and I didn't know what to think about that. "You got some sort of basement where you lock up new people in here?" I say playfull and simply laughs. "Never thought about it but I'll write it down." He says and I shake my head. "Irwin, uh Ashton Irwin can you come up here." The teacher asks and I walk to her desk. "Yes ma'am?" I say and she smiles. "I just want to welcome you here on this school. I hope you like it here. Now would you like to tell something about yourself to the class. Everybody attention please." She says and signs me to start talking. I didn't planned this what do I say? "Uhm, I'm Ashton and I'm new. Something else ma'am?" I ask getting nervous. She laughs but shakes her head and I walk back to my seat. "Well Ashton you are different. I guess you'll fit in." Michael laughs and starts working to my suprise.

"Ma'am I don't think that is correct" I say causing the whole class to turn to me. "Finally someone who pays attention. Would you like to correct this for me Ashton." The math teacher says I nod and walk to the front of the class and correct what the teacher wrote down and walk back to my seat. "Thank you Ashton." She smiles and I just nod. A few people were mumbling about what happened but I just ignored it. "Mate, what if she didn't made a mistake on 'purpose' because I'm not even sure if she was checking if we were focusing. She could have been mad." Michael whisperes and I look at him confused. "I would rather have one mad teacher then 25 mad children who failed a test." I said and started to work again. Just when I finished the bell rang and I grabbed my stuff. "Ashton which class do you have now, we can skip and I can show you around." Michael said "No thanks, but I can meat you at lunch I guess." I said and hurried out of class. "Hey John can you send me the file of Michael Clifford, thank you." I whispered to my phone and followed the map to find my next class.

"Ashton mate over here!" Michael screamed in the cafeteria and I walked to him. "Okay so this are my friends, Mikayla, Kian, Josh, and Kimberly. You could be my friend you sound cool do." Michael rambled a little and I said hi to everyone and sat down at the table. "Uh can you tell more about the people on this school?" I asked and Michael looked confused. "Well everyone is friends with everyone, there is no hate and everyone is nice. I guess that's why people love this school. But this year I graduate so byebye then." He said and his friends nodded. "So there aren't any popular kids?" I ask again and this time he just shrugs. "Well there is this guy his name is Luke he is the most popular kid in here. But Michael hates him. He is kind of a sweet kid and he is also verry goodlooking to bad for me." Mikayla said and Michael glared at her. "Why to bad, and what makes him so popular?" I ask I had a lot of questions wow. "Well he is to football team captain and he is kind of gay which is sad because if he wasn't I would totally date him." She added and I nodded making a note on my phone to check Luke's files.

"Tell us something about yourself." Michael asked and I thought to myself what do I say. "What do you want to know?" I asked feeling m face heat up. "Uh everything!" He says and the others just nodded. "Just ask me a question Michael." I said getting impatient. "Uh why did you transfort to this school?" He asked and I started to freak out I can't say 'oh I'm just spying around cause there are bad guys that are trying to take over your school.' I sighed and tried to make up a story. "Uh.... I was always homeschooled and uh..... I-I wanted t-to graduate for real?" I said but it came out as a question not that they noticed. "That's why you are smart. Hobby's?" Michael ask and I said thought for real. "Reading, sports." I said and Kimberly snorted "Booorriiingg, come on Ashton what do you really like to do?" She asked and folded her hands under her chin leaning her arms on the table. "I like playing the drums?" I said still not unsure. "See that is what I mean!" Kimberly squeled and Michael told her to shut up. "Can I have your number?" Michael asked after the bell rang. "I am really starting to believe you are trying to flirt with me." I chuckled but we exchanged numbers quick before we went to our classes.

School wasn't that bad it was kind of fun. Yes I'm nerdy but I like that about myself I walked to my locker putting my books inside of them and then walked outside but on my way there Michael jumped me and walked the last part with me. "Wanna hang out?" He asked and I shook my head "Sorry I got plans. Tomorrow maybe?" I asked and he nodded we walked outside and he pulled me in a hug. I pulled away and turned around bumping into someone. "Sorry I wasn't- Calum?!" I said freezing when I saw who I bumped into. "Ashton I thought you didn't knew anybody here." Michael said and I looked from him to Calum. "You go to school here, wow cool. Well I'll see you around mate, text me okay?" He said and quickly gave me a hug and left. "No, no, no this can't be happening." I said to myself and when Michael was about to ask me a lot of question Mister Dixon stopped infront of me with his car. I ran to it and almost jumped inside. "Why the hurry?" Mister Dixon asks me. "I saw Calum! Why didn't you tell me that he goes to this school?" I ask and he looks at me with a sad expression. "I didn't want to worry you, did he acted weird?" He ask and I shook my head nope he didn't. Why was he so calm after everything that has happened. "Lets go eat okay?" Mister Dixon asks and I nod still thinking about Calum and how he broke my heart ones.
