I SPY

Chapter2- Keeping my Cover

"Alright, let's go get this out and then it's back to business." She smiles running a tan finger through my hair and heading to the bathroom.

I relax and let her fingers rub through my scalp, the blue dissolving all around my locks. She looks at me sneakily from above and I bite my lip in anticipation. "Soo Jule... High school." I look up at my boss in confusion and nod. "You gonna meet some hot boys? Cause if you do and they have a hot older brother you'll introduce me right?" Arianna grins down at me as I laugh at her joke. Like I could ever be with a boy. Too many questions, too much suspicion. He wouldn't know anything about the real me and I could never tell him... No, I think I'm better off without boys.

The door slams open and Chase comes in eating a Kitkat. "Hey Jules, have you seen my-" He starts, chewing before looking up and coming face to face with Arianna.

"Back so soon,Chase? You know you should really join the surveillance team. I had no idea you were so fast!" She smiles sweetly, a smile so innocent that if I hadn't known her for eight years I would've thought was totally genuine.

"Oh Arianna. Umm I was just ummm." I roll my eyes as Chase hides the Kitkat behind his back and swallows loudly.

"Yes, Chase?" She smiles again, this time a much more dangerous one before giving my hair one last rub, rinsing her hands and moving to meet him-blocking his exit.

"Kitkat?" He offers her the bar laughing nervously and she smiles, this time genuinely, before taking  and eating it. His face visibly relaxes and he smiles back for a second before making a move to leave.

"Aww thanks, Chase. Now come on, we have a lot of work to do." Arianna grins as he frowns, puzzled, when she starts whispering in his ear.

His face turns red then pales losing so much color I'm sure he could pass for ill. She leans back patting his cheek and he reluctantly follows her outside groaning as the cold morning wind hits his skin again.

Before he leaves he turns back around waving at me. "Bye, Jules! Have fun at school!"

"Bye-" I smile at him as he resists going out the door to glance back at me.

"Chase, out here now." I take that as my cue to leave.

"Remember if anyone asks, your name is Julianne Brent from Georgia and you are a transfer from Jackson High. You have a sister named Ariel and your parents are named Dominic and Leah Brent. Ariel is your older sister and you get along very well. You play the saxophone and like to dance but are shy about it in front of other people.

And don't forget the most important part. Keep Lanie Young as close as possible. Keep her and your cover safe. Understand?" Dominic finishes looking straight at me and I grin realizing I memorized every word.

"Ok I got it. See you, Dom." I get out of his jeep and look around in awe. Woah... So this is high school.

"Did you see what she was wearing?"

"Ewww get off me,Rick."

"Em, I swear I didn't. You're going to believe her over me?"

"Hey where you think you're going?"

"Come here!"

The voices swirled around me like an ocean threatening to pull me under, the words splashing around like a strong current.

"Hey watch it." My snaps up in surprise as the sun is suddenly blocked by a tall figure. Okay, not really but he is pretty damn tall-at least six three. His body presents an intimidating presence, but he's not nearly as scary as Chase can be, so I pay no mind to his anger.
