___Chapter 2:Meeting more buds___ Z grinned. "Perfect! Now let me show you around." Z led the three out of the room and into the main hallway. "Now this is our front office,where we do some of our business." Z said, gesturing towards the center of the hallway. But what Nex and Damien noticed wasn't the giant , glass chandelier.Or even the beautiful stained glass windows. They noticed the secretary. She looked around 17 years old , which was quite young for a secretary. She had deep blue eyes, and long blonde hair, with pink highlights going over one eye. Her teeth were bright white, and her smile seemed to make everyone around her smile. Damien stared for about 4 seconds, but he snapped out of it and kept moving. Nex didn't. He stood staring, mouth gaping, knees buckling. "Nex....you alright bro?"Damien asked. "Ah...uh...erwhat?" Nex stammered. Damien laughed. "You have a thing for the secretary?" He joked. Nex felt his face grow red and turned away. Sophie rolled her eyes. "Boys." Z continued to show them around the HQ, which happened to be quite large.It had every room you could think of,from restrooms to yoga rooms. It took them about 3 hours to see the whole thing, and by the time they came back to where they started, their legs were exhausted. Sophie was talking to a grinning Z. "...and do you know how they got the glass to shine like that? Or what they made the dolphin sculpture with!?" Sophie rapidly said to Z. "No, you must ask someone else." Z said with a chuckle. "Well, since Nex has his own room, I must show you yours." Z said to Sophie and Damien. "Sophie, this is yours." He said, opening the door on the right. Inside there was paints of every color, different material for different types of art, and puzzle books lined against the wall. "It's beautiful!" Sophie said , looking around. "I'm glad you like it.This one is yours Damien."Z said, opening the door in the middle . Inside, there were different types of gym machines, and a large flatscreen TV. There were sofas lined against the wall, and a huge bed smack in the middle. "Awesome!" Damien said, hopping onto the bed. Nex stood by the door, watching the secretary, having an argument with himself in his mind. "This is stupid, standing here , not doing anything. I should strike up a conversation! But what if she doesn't like my hair!?Or she thinks my jeans are to tight? What if she's to busy? Then I could wait until she's off. But if I walk up to her then, she would know I was into her? Or not? Oh , fuck it!" In the end, he decided she didn't look busy, and he should talk to her. Meanwhile, Damien and Sophie were still exploring their new rooms. "When can I use this stuff?" Sophie asked Z. "Knock yourself out."Z replied.
___________Chapter 3___________ "Soo...I see your names Mallory..."Nex awkwardly said, pointing at the nameplate on the secretary's desk. "Yeah..."Mallory said. "Soo...how is it around here?" Asked Nex. "Oh, it's actually fun.We have lots to do, not to mention the fact that we have to eliminate every single threat to mankind." She replied. "That's seems nice....err...I guess I'll leave you to your work." Nex said. "Yep,it was nice meeting you." Mallory said. Walking back to the rest of the group, Nex whipped put deodorant and began wiping his pits. "Well guys, now that youve had some fun , you need to start your classes."Z said to the 3. Damien choked on his soda. "Classes!?" "Yes Damien, classes. They arent that bad." Z said. "What will we learn in the classes?" Sophie asked. "Each of you will have: A class based on your talent. A class for physical training. A martial arts class. And a class of your choice." "So...thats it?" Damien asked. "Yes, like I said, it will be fun." "When do we start?" Sophie asked. "Right now, here are your schedules." Z said. The first class went by quickly for all of them. But the second class, their Physical Fitness class, was interesting. The three walked into the gym to find a boy their age waiting for them. He was very tall and muscular , and seemed to let off an aura off relaxedness. He had brown-blonde hair, and green eyes. "Hello you three . I'm Charlie , your new PF teacher." Charlie said to the three. "Arent you a little to young to be a teacher?" Sophie asked. "Not really, all of us here are pretty young." Charlie replied. "Well, let's get the class started!" The class went by fine, but Sophie seemed to be very interested in Charlie. Whenever he wasnt looking, she would watch what he was doing. By the end of the class, they were all tired, except Damien. "Next is our Martial Arts class." Damien said. They found the MA gym on a map, and started walking there. They walked in, and Damien gasped. The teacher was a beautiful , young woman. She was a little short, but had a determined face . Her body was fit and curved. She shook her long, black hair as she turned to look at them. "I'm Erica, your Martial Arts teacher."She said to the group. "Beautiful." Damien said. "What?" Erica replied. "Nothing." The class was terrible. Nex and Sophie didn't have the strength or flexibility, and Damien was not coordinated enough. "You guys will get better, that was only our first class." Erica said. They all nodded and left for their rooms, since they couldn't choose their extra class yet. On the way to his room, Nex spotted Mallory sitting alone at a lunch table, listening to music. Nex walked over. "Do you mind if I sit here?" He asked. "No, it would be fine." Mallory said. Nex sat down. "So...what are you listening to." Nex asked. "My Chemical Romance."Mallory replied. "I love that band!" Nex replied. And they began talking about the band, then moved on to other things. While Nex was talking to Mallory, Sophie was heading to the pool for a swim. When she arrived, she saw Charlie sitting on the edge, his 6 pack attracting the eyes of many girls. Sophie dove into the pool, and began doing some complicating strokes , to impress Charlie. She got out of the pool, and Charlie approached her. "You're a good swimmer." He told Sophie. "Thanks!" Sophie replied, happy she had met her goal. "I used to swim."Charlie told her. "Really?" And Sophie and Charlie began talking about swimming.They talked until the pool had to close, and then they went back to their own rooms. Sophie went back the the room, and heard a peculiar noise coming from Damien's room. She took a peek, and saw a lot of skin.
________Chapter 4:Errr..._________ Sophie gasped. "Whats going on in there!" She yelled. A half naked Damien came out. "What do you think youre do-" Sophie started. "Shhh!!Just let me have my fun."Damien hissed."And you know...you could always join in." Sophie slapped Damien across the face. "You are the most immature,stupid,jerkiest boy I know!" She shouted. "Well.There's a woman in there looking for her prince charming. I'll be back later." Sophie was furious! How could a boy hook up with a girl he doesn't even know!She was probably some slu- Someone bumped into Sophie. "Sorry.."Nex said. "Oh.Where have you been?" Sophie asked. "Nowhere.." "Were you talking to that girl again?" "Maybe.Why would you care?" "Just curious." "Oh...well,bye." "Bye." Sophie walked off, and headed to her room for some sleep. The next morning,everyone woke up nice and refreshed,except for Damien. "Ugh.I'm so stiff fr-"He started. "Stiff from being in bed with a girl you hardly know?"Sophie said,cutting him off. "Yep." Sophie rolled her eyes. "Have you seen Nex?" She asked Damien. "No...I saw him go into his nerdcave last night though ." Damien said. Sophie opened the door to Nex's room, and burst out laughing. Nex sat in the middle of the room,wearing a headset, babbling on about raiding a dungeon. "Well,if you go in and use Divine Intervention you may be able to-Sophie!?" Neo said, quickly putting away all his gaming equipment. "Hello.Ready for your classes?" Sophie told him. Nex choked on his soda. "Classes!? It's MORNING!?" Nex yelled. "Yes...it is." Nex let out a high pitched squeal. "But I haven't even slept!" "That's your fault, and I have to get going." Sophie said, and walked out of the room. Nex laid in his bed.Maybe he could get a few minutes of sleep.....
