RTK: Guns and Stilettos

18 - The Choice

Yup yup, I confess...that cliffhanger was evil. But omg, read what happenssssssss....

Valentina POV

Woah. I was this Ravanna Elicia girl? With no family. With... woah. Sophia's my sister. Yes, my enemy, the girl whose guts I despise, turns out to be my sister? Why? Well, I suppose I do see a resemblance... blonde hair, blue-grey eyes. Wow.

But I had to choose how I'd carry on my life. Be a normal girl who goes to school or an assassin, a brutal and mean being? "I'm going to try to lead a normal life. Can I start with going to high school? I just want to experience life in High School. One of the things in my life I've missed out on," I breathed. Flavio glared at me, open-mouthed. I think he didn't expect me to choose a normal life...well, I did.

Trey was in between a frown and a smirk. "Ok, you'll start Silverlake High School tomorrow, your name remaining the same, but you will say that you are aged sixteen. Is that ok? I can even drop you off if you like..." suggested Trey, stepping towards me. Flavio clenched his jaw and fists, his face going red with visible anger.

Sophia burst through the door, panting as if she'd ran a thousand miles. Poor soul. She didn't even know she was adopted, let alone my sister! I stepped towards Sophia, and held her hard on the shoulder. "You are my sister. I'm not really Valentina Summers, I'm the missing girl. Ravanna Elicia, and it so happens that you're not related to Flavio but that you were adopted by his family whilst a young baby. Tomorrow, I'm leaving and going to High School," I spat with anger, hating the fact that she was in any way related to me.

"I don't care if you don't like the fact that I am your sister, I hate the thought of it too, but what's done is done. Bye, don't miss me. By the way, Flavio knew all along. No wonder you look nothing alike," I finished. Sophia's face dropped at the fact that Flavio knew everything.

Before I knew it, she was up in his face and slapped him hard across the face, showing a hand mark on his tight cheeks. "You knew, and you didn't even think of telling me!?"

"I did, I was going to but when I wanted to Valentina, or Ravanna, joined the C.I.A. And plus, it's classified information. I wasn't meant to know either!" Flavio roared. Sophia dropped her hand by her side and walked off to stand beside me.

"I'm going to high school tomorrow, with you," Sophia whispered slowly, as if hating the whole idea. I shrugged and we walked off to our dorms.

Blindingly, the Sun caught my eyes as I climbed out of bed due to the irritating ringing of the alarm bell. I opened my wardrobe, in search for something good to wear on my first day of high school. I looked but all I could find were comabt boots, baggy trousers and different coloured tank tops with leather jackets.

I picked out my white tank top, slipped on my dark green baggy trousers and put on my white combat boots. I got out my black leather jacket and tighed it around my waist. I also tied my hair up in a high ponytail, only leaving out my side fringe. Ready.

I walked out into the training room where I planned to meet Sophia. Sophia was there, early as usual and suprised me with her choice of clothing. She wore jeans, a tight pink top with laces on the side like a net, her hair was out but with a braid across the front. She looked undeniably beautiful -but a bit too girly, especially with the pink high heels and electric pink colored nails.

Trey suddenly appeared, doing a double-take at us. He shrugged and instructed us to follow him to his car. I had never been outside C.I.A HQ before, my attempted escape was useless so I didn't really know what lurked outside.

Trey pressed a button on his car keys and a cherry red Ferrari lit up, opening the doors itself. Neat! Flavio bowed like a gentleman, allowing us to enter his gorgeous car before himself. The windows were tinted but we could see the outside just as well. We drove passed the Agent and Training Blocks and pulled up at the huge building, where Trey had shot us down. Trey pulled down the window and pressed his thumb onto a metallic box outside the car.

Finally we were out of HQ. Finally. Me and Sophia excahnged worried but excited glances but ended with a smile. I sat in my seat, fiddling with my black book bag. My book bag contained a pencil case, my cell phone, a few notebooks and my lunchbox. I have no idea who packed my bag but I do not want to eat a packed lunch -I planned on eating an actual highschool meal.

Sophia and I just spoke about Flavio, Trey and Hailey the whole time. Trey was too concentrated on the road that he wasn't actually paying attention to us, but I suspected that he could over hear a few bits and bobs. "I think Trey is super-super hot," Sophia whispered, elbowing me in the side. "I think he likes you though."

I glanced at her, screwing my eyes. "Ahaa, funny! Funniest thing I've heard all my life, Soph!" Sophia looked taken aback then smiled. She mouthed the word Soph and nodded in acception.

"Deny it all you like, Anna, everyone sees it!" Sophia cackled, emphasising the word Anna. I seriously forgot, my name wasn't Val anymore, it was Ravanna/Anna. Wow. The car stopped to a halt and Flavio climbed out, opening my door for me. I was amazed by what I saw. A huge bunch of buildings with different colored, different raced people... high school.

To be honest, there were some hot guys but I didn't care. I just wanted to see what life was like. Flavio closed his door hard, causing everyone to look at us. Flavio stepped up to me, grabbing the attention of all the school sluts, and held me around the waist, kissing me on the forehead. All the other girls glared in jealousy whilst Sophia continued elbowing me in excitement.

Flavio drove off and we walked into school. Our new high school. Silverlake. Girls glanced at me and Sophia as we walked passed them, guys wolf-whistled and looked us up and down. Suddenly, I felt a hand grasp my waist, turning me towards them.

"The hottest and most popular guy at school...hitting on the new girl? So unfair!" a few girls muttered. Another guy did the same to Sophia and they both tried to get us in for a kiss... Wrong idea.

Sophia elbowed and kicked him in the chin, making him fall back onto the lockers. I yanked up my knee, hitting the guy in the groin and put him into a headlock then kicked him to the right. Sophia and I brushed our hands and walked off.

The whole corridor looked at us in utter awe and astonishment. All the sluts ran over to the two jocks, shoving their short skirts in their faces. Ergh. We walked on and overheard something.

"They hurt Marc and Tom? They're so getting it!" the girls who said that walked up to us, swishing their flat backsides side-to-side. The blonde stood in front whilst the darker blondes stood at the back. Sophia and I crossed our arms and looked them up and down. "You must be the new girls. Well, you should know, Marc and Tom used to be in the C.I.A."

Sophia and I glared at eachother, open-mouthed. The girl who said it whispered, making it obvious that she was the only one that knew. "So was I as a matter of fact, my partner is Trey Peters,  and if you don't watch out, I'll set him on you."
