Chapter 1 Mr Grey
Im watching from the hide it's laughable really team blue has for the last ten minutes walked around the field making so much noise,like a herd of elephants.
Team yellow,two of the guys have been flirting with each other so lost in each other I think they've forgotten this is paintball war games.
I check my watch I have an hour so I spit out my gum and check the load out on my gun adjust the scope and take a look.
Yeah I'm so done I start with the love birds headshots one screams like a girl and I laugh leaving the hide I stalk the other team it's not a challenge and that annoys me.
I love war obviously not the parts where innocent civilians die but combat, tactics,weapons,logistics gun's,explosives.
The blue team my team I play with these guys or against them I don't really care I don't have friends I can play with so I pitch up here once a week and sigh up and wait for a team to pick me.
I'm tracking a target he thinks he's so smart he moves and I got you motherfucker.
I'm wearing body armor that I made myself it looks badass and you can't tell my gender in it so that's a plus.
I'm standing next to my bike,beat to shit but the only thing my pops left behind when he disappeared.
I love her she may not look like much but she gets me where I need to be after stripping off the armour I pull on a hoodie and straddle the bike before I can pull my helmet on I hear "no fucking way you a chick"
I look over my shoulder and it's one of the guys from the yello team.
I finger salute and turn away. My bike growls awake and I ride out.
I have a date with my girl I smiling like an idiot when I pull into the parking lot of my apartment complex.
My mom is sitting at the table when I walk in she's smiling...I know that smile it's the let's see how far I can push you smile.
"Whaaat .."
"You have a visitor he's in bathroom"
"Who is it"
"A recruiter"
I frown and shake my head at her ,a recruiter from where?? I hear the bathroom door open and I look down the hall.
He dressed in a silver grey suit his perfectly groomed as he nears I see his eyes are a light blue his skin is pulled taut over his bones like he's recently had some work done.
"Ahh Miss Kubla"
"I'm sorry who are you?"
"I'm a recruiter for a private school we would like to offer you a place at our school"
"Not interested thank you"
"Miss.."
"Look I'm sure the schools very good I'm happy where I am and I have no plans to move schools"
"The schools a very prestigious institution the academic programs alone should make the school highly attractive to you."
"Sorry I'm really not interested at this time"
"Not even if your particular interest is what you could focus on...soley."
My eyes narrow at him he walks to his briefcase snapping it up and placing it on the dinette table he removes a large grey packet he hands it to me smiling like a gameshow host.
I look at it and he places it on the table he closes his briefcase and looks at me smiling.
"Look over the packet and consider it,a full scholarship to a prestigious institution a year at our school and you can get placement at any ivy league school."
I nod and say "Thank you"
I walk him out closing and latching the security gate behind him.
"Ma what was his name?"
She frowns and stands up "I don't know"
"So he was in here with you for god knows how long and you didn't think to ask his name?"
"Slevin"
"Ma"
"I did not ask his name he was so polite and you know this would be a gift you wasting your god given talent in that school"
"I have a date with Haley"
"Just think about it "
"No"
"Slevin for me please"
"Ma"
"Just look at the brosure would you please"
"Ok I'll look it over happy ?"
"Date with Haley?"
"Yeah just a movie and pizza"
"Good she's a very pretty"
I kiss her cheek and go to my room I step back out and look at my room from the doorway.
My rooms not very big I painted one wall dovecote gray and the rest of the room white I have a book case along one wall my desk with my laptop and swivel chair my bed by the window a mobile swings in the little breeze coming from the window.
I step into the room and face the door I look over the room and there I spot it a camera small enough that if I wasn't looking for it I would not see it.
I'm pissed off then I decide to leave it now that I know it's there I can avoid it.
I grab my baggy cargo pants a long sleeve compression shirt some boxer briefs and go to the bathroom.
I check the bathroom over and find nothing satisfied I strip and get into the shower I don't linger because I'm running a bit late.
I get dressed tie up my hair slick it all down spray on some cologne slip my wallet into my pocket hook the chain to the front loop check myself out.
My hairs dark shaved on the sides long on top I have unusual coloured eyes a very light brown that sometimes looks yellow ,a good mouth a good jawline I'm not pretty I'm masculine even tho I'm a girl I'm muscular good-sized biceps almost no boob flat abs and muscular thighs.
I sit on the couch to put on my Superga sneakers I'm thinking about a cap but I decide to just wear a hoodie and a jacket.
"Ma I won't be late but please don't let anyone else into the apartment" as I'm saying this I'm looking at the packet on the table I scoop it up and leave it on my desk.
I kiss my mother and lock up behind myself
Downstairs I get on my bike pull on the helmet and ride out.
The one thing that gave me pause about Mr creepy is what he said about school.
I love war I love reading about it and how far war has evolved from sticks and clubs modern weaponry fascinates me tactics logistics and just the general day to day of war would grab my attention
For that alone I'll look over the packet just to satisfy my curiosity.
