She let out a sigh. That is so NOT going to work. He'd probably think that I'm just a desperate wreck. She turned around and bumped into something hard.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry! I didn't see where I was heading_" Jade said as she looked up into the greenest eyes she has ever seen. Great. (note sarcasm)
"Sorry doesn't even cover it," he snapped.
Woah. He did not just say that.
"Then what do you want me to say? Watch your step?! Get the h*ll outta my face?! " Jade was raving like a lunatic. "At least I was polite enough to apologise instead of just being outright rude to someone who was trying to be polite! And yes! I meant you! I just bumped into you and you snapped at me? That is like SO not cool!"
She knew she was ranting but she could not care less. This boy has got some serious issues that needed sorting. She turned to glare at him and was quite surprised to see him shell-shocked. In fact, everyone in the crowd that surrounded them looked shocked. She shrugged and headed off to homeroom.
She watched as Lance entered while trying to catch her eye but she blatantly ignored him. The whole day continued like that - Lance was trying to catch Jade's attention but she continued ignoring him.
During biology, a scrunched up paper ended up on her lap. Thinking it was Lance, she ignored the paper but Brett caught her eye and pointed at the note. She rolled her eyes and smoothed the paper:
You were supposed to ask him out!
Not yell at him..
She sighed as she scribbled on the paper before tossing it back to him:
He pissed me off. No way am I gonna
ask him out. Why don't you do it?
Instead of replying, he rolled his eyes and then chuckled. Typical ice cold princess. Jade still never fails to surprise him.
The rest of the day proved uneventful until Jade found a note in her locker:
He said yes. Meet us at the penthouse
at 6. Hopefully, you're observant enough
to know how to get there.

She was dressed in casual wear of a black knit sweater paired with black skinny jeans. She tied her hair in a ponytail and headed down to the garage. She got onto her BMW motorbike, the one she uses for her robberies instead of her Porsche because, basically, her cover was blown, no point denying it anyway.
The sun was going down when she arrived at Brett's penthouse. There were little kids running around at the nearby park that it almost seem peaceful. Almost. She headed up to Brett's penthouse and was going to ring the bell when she heard a crash and the door opened to reveal Lance with a terrified look on his face.
"Jade! Don't go in there! That_ Brett inside is a maniac! A lunatic even!" Lance cried when he saw Jade at the door. All he could think of right now was to put as much distance between him and the mad man inside and he was going to drag Jade along with him.
Jade looked at Lance. His reddened face was sweating profusely probably because he was nervous. Hehe. Lance, the assassin, nervous? She couldn't help it. She burst out laughing. He gave her the 'you-are-definitely-nuts-too" look which only made her laugh harder.
As if on cue, Brett appeared at the doorway looking flustered and that just make her laugh even harder even though it seemed impossible. She turned to look at Lance and he was backing from Brett as though he carried a contagious disease. She was now clutching at her sides.
"What the hell happened to you?" Brett asked. He was rushing to try holding on to Lance to make him listen to his explanation when he saw both Lance and Jade at the doorway with Jade laughing like a hyena.
"Hahaha_okay, you, computer geek," she said jabbing her finger at Brett. "And you, assassin get in before I make you go in," again, jabbing her finger at Lance and then pointing at the door of the penthouse.
Despite being nervous and flustered, they went into the penthouse. As soon as they were seated, she stood infront of them with her hands on her hips. "What on earth is going on?" she asked, all traces of laughter disappearing.
"I showed Lance his data. He kinda freaked when he found out that his missions weren't that secret."
"Kinda freaked?! Are you kidding me? Of course I freaked! You could blackmail me, for whatever's sake!" Lance turned to Brett.
"Blackmail you? That's crazy! You wouldn't even hear me out and then you ran from the room calling me a sicko and some stalker!" Brett shouted.
"You have all my data! Of course you're a stalker!" Lance shouted back.
"But you_" Brett started before Jade jutted in.
"Okay, cut it out, guys!" she said, as they turned back to her. "Lance, hear Brett out and Brett, get to the point."
Lance looked as though he was going to argue with her but she silenced him with a look and they both turned their attention to Brett.
"Okay, I don't think I should show you your data again so I'll get to the point. I am forming a group that include the best people anyone can recruit in the world. May I introduce to you, Jade, best thief I have ever laid my eyes on. Not to mention hottest girl ever." Brett said while Jade rolled her eyes and a video clip of Jade on one of her robberies which happens to be the one she 'bumped' into Lance.
Lance's eyes popped open as realization hit him. "You?" he blurted and then stared openly at Jade.
"Yes, me. I thought you were some thief who was later than he would have hoped for but who knew you were an assassin?" she replied coolly, looking him square in the eye in challenge.
"I did." Brett said, interrupting them. "Okay. What say you to this tiny group of ours?" he continued, directing the question to Lance instead of her.
