Teen Spy Drama

Chapter 11: Christmas Homecoming

Carmella
So, I'm still at the school.
I was very happy with this.
So, it's Friday now. The day of the school concert. I'm walking with Corbyn, hand in hand, with my friends behind me.
"So, how's it feel now that you know you're dating the youngest CIA agent?", I asked Corbyn.
"It'll take some getting used to, but my feelings haven't changed", he answered.
I laid my head on his shoulder as we continued walking to our class.
I sat down next to Musa, with Liv and Alexa sitting in front of us.
I was doing a worksheet that our new science teacher gave us, when a paper ball flew in my face.
I opened it and it said 'Slut' on it. I looked over and saw Summer and her friends laughing.
I made a pouty lip and pretended to wipe a tear. I rolled my eyes and threw it into the trash can.
I love high school now, but Summer just needs to leave, I'm at my breaking point with her.
Time Skip
It was the end of the period finally. And we were heading to the locker room to change for gym, when I saw Summer and her friends. I peeked around the corner and saw them harassing a girl.
"Girls", I said. They followed me and I stormed up to her.
I stood in front of the girl in a defensive position.
"Umm, you're interrupting my job", she said.
"Oh I know I am, and I won't move until you leave".
The she looked at my neck and she smirked.
Then in a flash, she ripped off the necklace Corbyn gave me, right off my neck.
I stood there jaw dropped.
I stood there fuming.
I knew my eyes had gone dark because even my friends were backing up. And because they knew what I was capable of now.
I snatched my necklace back and slapped her with so much force she fell for he ground.
Then I grabbed her by her hair.
"Liv and Alexa, grab the minions. Musa, bring this girl with us", I commanded.
They did as they were told and I walked straight to the principals office.
"Mr.Walken, I have something for you".
"Ms.Rossi, what can I do for you?".
"This witch and her little minions having been bullying me and my friends for almost 2 months, they started bullying this girl as well, and she destroyed my property", I explained.
"I see, how do you suppose we handle this?", he asked.
"Suspension", I said.
"What?! Please, I don't want to be suspended. Anything but that!", Summer pleaded.
"Then it's settled, you three have a suspension notice of 2 weeks, starting tomorrow".
Summer started crying on the floor and we left.
"Thank you", the girl said.
"No problem...", I said implying for her name.
"Oh my name is Delilah", she said.
"Oh my god, that is such a pretty name", Liv exclaimed.
"Thanks".
"I'm Carmella. The one with pink hair is Liv, Black hair is Musa, and platinum blonde is Alexa", I said introducing us.
"Oh, you're the girls singing in the concert during 9th and 10th period".
"That's us", Musa said.
"So did Summer just start bullying you today?", Alexa asked Delilah.
"No, she's been bullying me since the start of high school", she answered.
"Why? You're so pretty though", Liv said. She wasn't wrong. Delilah looked like an Instagram model.
"That's exactly why. She thought I was too pretty because I used to get tons of attention from guys in 9th grade. So she started bullying me in order to make me feel bad about what I look like".
"That's ridiculous", Musa said.
"Yeah, but then she saw you flirting and talking to Corbyn, so she started targeting you", she said pointing at me.
"Well, we solved a very annoying problem today, that is named Summer", Liv said.
We all laughed.
"Let's get to gym now, we're playing dodgeball and I'm anxious to hit some of the cocky boys", I said.
We laughed and all headed to the locker to change.
I changed into a lime green tank top, black shorts, and neon orange sneakers.
I walked out with my girls, and Delilah to the gym where the boys were setting up a dodgeball game.
I joined Corbyn's team with Liv, and Alexa joined Drew's team with Musa and Delilah.
"Yo, we got Mella on our team, we already won!", one of the boys shouted over to the other team.
I giggled.
The ref blew the whistle and we rushed to the center line to grab the balls.
We backed up and I started firing away.
It had only started and I already got two people out.
I dodged a couple of balls, caught a couple.
And then it was down to me and this kid, Cody.
I picked up two balls and he did the same.
He threw both of them at me, but he missed both times.
I smirked.
I threw one ball up in the air on his side. As he was going to catch it, I threw the second I had at him.
It hit him square in the chest.
"I told you we won!", the kid from before shouted.
I laughed.
We reset the balls on the half court line and backed up to the walls.
We started and me and Corbyn started going for all the athletic people first.
I dodged the ball one of them threw and I threw one back.
Only mine hit him.
Right in the balls.
He fell to the floor in pain and I winced imagining how that felt.
"Nice shot Mini Mella!", someone shouted.
I froze and dropped my ball.
Only one person calls me Mini Mella.
I quickly turned around and there he was, dressed in his military uniform.
My big brother, Roman.
I covered my face and cried.
"Oh my god!!!", I yelled as I ran to him.
I jumped in his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his torso.
I started to sob. This was the first time I've seen him since I was 16.
I heard everyone in the background clapping. I really didn't care about anything at that point, except being here with my big bro for the first time in more than a year.
At this point the teacher pretty much let us have a free period.
I finally let go after about a minute and looked at my brother.
He was still the same as I remember.
"I missed you so much", I said through tears.
"I missed you too M&M", he said with tears in his own eyes.
M&M is a shorter version of Mini Mella that he likes to call me a lot.
"It's so unreal, mom and dad said they didn't know when you were getting home though?", I asked.
"Actually, I got home around 5 days ago. I spent some time with them and then I told them I was staying with you the whole time you were on break", he confessed.
"Wait you're staying?", I asked him.
"Yeah, I decided that being in the military at a young age isn't for me. It's been really hard staying away from you guys".
"So what are you gonna do now?".
"I believe I'll join the CIA with my little sister".
I beamed from ear to ear and hugged him again.
"Come on, I wanna introduce you to some of my friends", I said dragging him over to my group.
"Roman, these are my friends Musa, Alexa, Delilah, Drew, and Liv", I said going down the line.
"Nice to meet you guys", Roman said waving.
"And this is Corbyn, my boyfriend", I said putting my arm around his waist.
"Boyfriend huh?", Roman said raising one eyebrow.
"Yes", Corbyn replied.
"Don't go all protective big bro on me yet, you just got here", I said.
"Fine, but don't go cheating on her like the last one, cause you break my sister, I break you", he said to Corbyn, holding up a fist.
"Trust me, I would never cheat on Mella", he said looking at me with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Alright, Corbyn you're a lucky guy to be dating Mella. She is probably of the best people this world has to offer".
"You're telling me", Corbyn replies looking at me.
I smiled.
"So, how long have you been in the army for?", Liv asked.
"At least 14 months", Roman answered.
"Wow, that must've been really hard".
He nodded.
The rest of the day I brought Roman to all my classes and we just hung out together like we did in the good old days.
Plus like 6 more people.
The boys kept trying to one up Roman while us girls just laughed til our stomachs hurt.
Then it was finally time for our Christmas concert performance.
Considering how much we all love Little Mix, we decided on a holiday song they did.
We waited for everyone to get into their seats. We were the opening act for all of the other students, so we only had a little time to prepare.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2019 Christmas concert. To start things off, here's a holiday song by the winners of this year's talent show, Musa Forte, Carmella Rossi, Alexa Kauffman, and Liv DeLong!", Mrs.Van Dale said.
The students clapped and cheered for us as we walked out on stage. I looked directly at Roman who gave me a thumbs up.
"Thank you everyone, this song is called One I've Been Missing, and we wanna dedicate this performance to Carmella's big brother, Roman Rossi, who returned home safely this week from Afghanistan. So why not a big round of applause for his heroic service!", Liv shouted into the mic.
The crowd exploded with cheering, clapping, screaming, whistling, it was insanely awesome.
I hugged Liv, then returned to my mic stand.
"Hope you enjoy", Alexa said.
