Somewhere In My Memory

Chapter Two

I'm still allowed to talk to Bella, because I would never ignore her just because of changing schools. So I text her as soon as I get home, telling her that I didn't get the job, like I was instructed. She texts me back a frowny face, and I text her saying that it's fine.

I decide to tell her about the private school.

To Bells: And, umm, I kinda forgot to mention this yesterday and this morning, with the excitement and everything, but I'm going to a private school starting tomorrow.

I sit and wait for her response. It's a while before one comes.

From Bells: Oh, um....I'll missss yyooouuuu

To Bells: I'll miss you too! I can't believe I forgot to mention it to you!

From Bells: It's okay...you were busy...

To Bells: We'll Skype tomorrow, yeah?

From Bells: Yeahh...luv ya

To Bells: luv ya 2

Okay, luckily, she's not to offended. But I do feel bad about lying to her.

The next morning, I get dressed in dark jeans, a light pink t-shirt, and my black blazer. I slip on my boots and run downstairs. My mom is sitting at the kitchen table with a plate of waffles. "Here." she says, pushing them towards me.

I sit down. "Thanks." I say, taking a big bite. I love waffles.

I drive myself to work, and park in the same place as yesterday, like the parking garage guard (who introduced himself as Max) told me to. Today, Harmony is waiting for me. "Hi!" she greets me as I step out of my car.

"Hi." I say. I'm really nervous about today.

As if reading my mind, Harmony says, "Don't worry, everyone is really nice."  I force a smile.

When we reach a large, open room, Harmony points me to an empty desk. "That'll be your spot. Is that okay?"

I smile. The desk is right next to a huge window, so there's a ton of natural light. "Perfect." I say.

Then, Harmony introduces me to everyone. "This is Scarlett, Lulu, Scott, and Tyler." she says, pointing to everyone in turn. All of them look so young, just like me. Harmony must recognize my expression, because she says, "We're all under 21, so technically, we're junior agents. But we don't get any special treatment. In fact, some of the most dangerous cases are given to us." she sounds proud.

I turn back to the other members of my new team. Scarlett is sitting at her computer typing away. Her long blonde hair cascades over her shoulders and down her back. I can't see her eye color because she's looking down, but I'll bet they're either brown or blue. She doesn't seem like she would have green eyes.

Lulu is playing a game her phone. Her brown hair is a normal length, and her brown eyes are beautiful. In fact, her whole face is beautiful.

Scott is laying on a couch staring at the ceiling. He has brown hair, and from what I can see, he's really cute. Borderline hot.

Tyler, I have noticed, disappeared. He's nowhere to be seen. Sighing, I decide to go make conversation with Scott. I walk over to the couch across from his and sit down. "Hi." I say quietly.

He sits up. "Hi. Carlie, right?" I nod. "Cool. That's my cousin's name."

"Cool." I say. Wow, this is awkward. "So, um, how long have you been working here?"

"1 month. Until you got here, I was the newbie." Scott says.

"Bet you're happy to get rid of that title, huh?" I ask.

"Yeah, just a little." Scott says. I look around the room, trying to decide what to say next. But I needn't worry, because Scott says, "You're really pretty."

Did I just hear him right? I must not have, but what else would he have said? "Um, thanks..." I say, then the awkward silence takes over, and I get up and walk away, mentally scolding myself for walking away from a hottie.

From what I can tell, this will be a hard job, and not just the whole not getting shot concept.

A/N: 2 chapters in 1 day! Woohoo! So, do you guys like it? I hope you do....
