Coded by Heart (#2)
Coded by Heart (#2)
Ending up being partnered with the annoying ‘new kid’ in Chemistry was at my wits end.
“No, no, no, stop! Don’t add the solution yet, it isn’t the right temperature yet!” I hissed.
He shrugged and added the solution. There was a big light and shattering glass heard through the quiet
classroom.
I turned on him, “I told you not to add the solution yet!” Then something fell on my foot. It was solid
and hot.
Justin just laughed. Then everyone else started to do the same. I cursed under my breath.
The bell rang, and I cleaned up Justin’s mess. He wouldn’t know what hit him.
I was at the front of the school. Everyone was still here, unless they were on their bus but they still
had a good view of the limo that came. I groaned.
The limo came up in front of me and the driver seat opened up to reveal Calla.
She was a pretty red head of average twenty-three year old height.
“How else will I get there?” I smiled. Everyone was looking at me and I caught the eye of Justin, who
was smirking at me.
I sighed as another Agent came out of the passenger door and opened the door for me.
The door closed and I was happy with the dark tinted windows. I can see them but they can’t see me.
“Irritating,” I grumbled.
She spared me a look of sympathy. “You sure know how to shake the Boss up, he has all agents
tracking your area, except Will here.” She smiled at him which he returned. Hmmm something’s up.
Will looked at me then his gaze trailed to my fingers which were rubbing against each other because I
was nervous about the meeting.
I looked at him confused then he pointed to my fingers. No wonder I thought it was wet, it was
sweating from the nervousness I felt but it was blood.
“Chemistry class, Clark didn’t listen and messed up the task.” I explained. Calla scoffed, “Lazy idiot.”
Will turned around and offered me a tissue and a pen. Oh, this isn’t an actual pen with ink. Instead the
ink is filled up with this stuff that acts like a band aid and boosts your recovery time. Sort of like
stitches or something.
“Mr. Wall has already disconnected your home system. He wants to know if the guy who put us on
alert knows anything more.”
“Other than that I can trip him over and threaten him, give him the finger, skip detention and be very
strict in Chemistry, no I don’t think so.”
Calla laughed, “You tripped him over? What was his expression?”
“Dunno, he was sort of ‘love struck’, then I tripped him and yeah he couldn’t breathe.”
“Yup Alexia ‘Rebel’ Thorn, you’re finally living up to your name girly!” Calla cheered.
I looked around; we were at a ‘government’ house, well mansion. It’s strictly under surveillance at all
times.
“You can leave your bag and things here.” Calla said.
“What time?”
She was leading me into the gates and on the pathway leading to the polished door. I’ve grown up to
get used to the mansion, the place where a part of the Agents live.
This door was funny, well not magic tricks but I love this best.
I turned the knob to the left twice, then to the right once. I jiggled the door knob then turned it right to
left. The lock clicked open.
“You did that fast, I take ages trying to get the correct angle of it!” Calla complained.
We came up to the double doors that led to the entry office. Calla used her key for this one, “Easy
peasy.” She grinned.
I was almost to the meeting door until a hand grabbed my arm, making me fall down and whoever it
was to fall on me.
I shoved him off, and got up to the door, and then remembered something.
I rolled my eyes and walked into the door, cursing myself then opened it to see Mr. Wall in his large
leather seat and Mr. Smirking-because-I’m-dumb was on one side of the tiny couch.
“Alexia, good timing, as always…” Mr. Wall drifted off giving me a weird look. “Did you talk to
yourself? You’re here for a mee-“
He nodded, “I brought in Mr. Clark today to question him, questioning first then the official meeting.”
He smiled at me; he was up to something with the ‘official meeting’.
I was still waiting in the office, ten minutes after Clark’s questioning, apparently he was seeking a life
like mine, flattered, not.
I glanced at my watch, only half n hour until I had to go home and get ready for the café.
“Hey…” he whispered.
I nodded curtly.
“Alexia, whatever I did to make you hate me, I’m sorry, but you’re, well you’re…”
He was speechless.
Mr. Wall was standing behind the Boss chair, and indicated us to sit on the chairs left vacant at the
front of the room. We both walked towards the allocated chairs and I remembered that I was
still holding Justin’s hand.
He chuckled, okay now he was growing on to me, how selfish I am right now.
We sat down, (still holding hands!) and I glanced at around the room. This looks similar to my
coding!
“Everyone toast to the new Agent this company has received recently, Agent Thorn!” Mr. Wall
announced.
I smiled totally listening to what the second part he was going to say.
“And we hope she wouldn’t chop off her new partner’s head off during their missions, Justin Clark!”
he continued.
I turned to face a smirking Justin, “Thanks for the idea Boss.” Everyone went quiet just as I launched
myself at the horror-stricken Justin.
