My clumsy assignment

My clumsy assignment

Prologue

He's so freaking hot, it

should be illegal!." My best friend tori said

"Who are you talking about?" I asked

"Ugh William of course and I heard he likes you" tori said wiggling her eyebrows

William has been my crush since middle school he's from England. He's also my lab partner so we only talk in chemistry class. And the occasional waving and smiling in the hallway that's about it.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know Lillian? She's Tony's

girlfriend who happens to be Williams best friend and he told Lillian that William likes His lab partner who happens to be you" she says in one breath

"OK first of all I do NOT believe that and secondly how are you friends with a cheerleader?"

In case it isn't obvious, I'm below the popularity chain and I really like it no drama whatsoever

Tori and I decided to walk to school this morning cause my jerk of a brother left me to pick up his slutty girlfriend Lacey. Even her name sounds like an underwear

" doesn't matter, anyways you should start putting more efforts in the way you dress, if you want willy wonka over there to really notice you " tori eyes my sweats and hoodie. What? It's comfortable. You can't expect me to go to that hellhole called school and still expect me to wear a dress hell no.

" hey I may like the guy but I would like him to like me for me and not for the way I dress" I say sighing

" well you're amazing so you have nothing to wor- KENDRA LOOK OUT!!"

Too late the truck was already too close for me to jump out of the way. I froze there and just waited for the impact in

1.....

1?

Huh.

"Kendra are you okay" tori runs towards me and helps me up

Wait did I fall?

Huh.

"Yeah I'm good. Uh quick question HOW THE HECK AM I STILL ALIVE?" I ask dusting the dirt on me .

" the truck took a quick turn I guess" she shrugs

"Just be happy you're still alive . come on. We don't wanna be late"

( Eastbourne high)

Ahh Eastbourne high

Not your typical cliché highschool

No cocky jocks, no bitchy cheerleaders, no scary bad boys and no pitiable nerds just us all schooling in perfect harmony

*sigh*

NOT.

My school is all round cliché

There's the handsome but dumbbell jocks, the slutty cheerleaders who makes sure everyone knows their social status in the school and there's the bad boys of the school who bullies the nerds and then there's me. What? You thought I was a nerd?. Hell no. I hate maths, physics and chemistry and I'm even failing those classes except chemistry cause my Knight in shining armour William saves me

"Ugh I already want to crawl in a hole and die slowly and it's not even first period yet" I say taking my books from my locker and shutting it.

Have I mentioned I hate school

No?

Oh well, I HATE SCHOOL!

" don't be so dramatic " tori says rolling her eyes "what's your first class?"

I sigh checking my schedule, maths hmm fun, NOT

" maths my most favorite subject, hey tori I think I might go to maths con this weekend, you know why? Cause I love maths" I state with every ounce of sarcasm in my blood

"Geez I'm starting to take your hatred for school seriously"

" ooh don't forget the entire population"

" right "

" kendra! Hey kendra! " my brother Kendrick practically screams my name running towards me and tori

"What do you want? " I glare at him

" kenz I'm so sorry. Please forgive me , I swear I'll make it up to you " Kendrick pleads.

I sigh blatantly ignoring him "come on tori I believe we have class to get to" tori agrees and we walk away from him

"You aren't really mad at him are you?" She smiles giving me a knowing look

"Nah. I'm just going guilt him into doing my maths and physics homework" I smirk

"I've got so much to learn from you"

"Yeah you do"

(Somewhere in the land of linux)

Michael's POV

"We have gathered here today to watch the graduating students of Linux high become full fledged angels. We wish them good luck and....."

.

" ugh this is so booring " my best friend Gabriel expatriates

"Oh hush. It's not that bad" cilia my other best friend scolded

Man I can't wait to be up there next year. I can finally get my wings and become an angel just like my parents

And no, not the angels in heaven who get to be with God. Those are like the elders, to us our ancestors. We would be like what they call on earth; soldiers fighting wars against evil I guess. And by next year I'll be one of them. Every angel in training is given an assignment, to protect a certain human for a whole year I mean it couldn't be that hard right?

Tomorrow we'll be given our very own humans to protect, it's gonna be amazing

Yuck I sound like a human teenage girl. Yup I did my research

(The next day)

"Oh my God! This is so exciting, I can't wait to see who I get" cilia gushed smiling

"I know right, I hope I get a hot Chic" Gabriel said winking

"Dude aren't you supposed to be an angel in training?" I asked laughing

"Yeah doesn't mean I'm blind or void of emotions or anything" Gabriel stated rolling his eyes, he turned and looked at cilia " hey why are you quiet? "

" I don't know just thinking about the the assignment I guess. I don't want to mess this up so I won't go back to elexis you know"

" everything is going to be just fine " I assured " no one's going back there We're here and we're safe OK?"

" yeah and have you heard from.." Gabriel started but I cut him off "no and I don't want to"

"Fine"

" gather around everyone, it's time for the final assignments that will guarantee your chance of being a full fledged angel. Now as I call your names you shall go into the office and find out about your assignments good luck " the dude from yesterday announced

"Who is that guy?' I asked bouncing my feet in nervousness

" what do you mean who is that guy?" Cilia looked at me wide eyed then whispered "that's one of the angels from Heaven

" whoa that's awesome " Gabriel exclaimed

"Meh" I shrugged

" No. 55! Cilia" the angel called

" come on cilia you got this" I encouraged

"Wish me luck" she winked and with that she walked into the office

" I am so nervous, you Celia's right, what if we mess this up, what if something happens and we have to go back, what if..." Gabriel rambled

"Dude! It's gonna be fine I promise. It's only for a year and after that we'll be become what we were born to be" I again assured

" you're right, thanks man I needed that " he said clapping my back. Ow

"No problem"

"No. 59! Gabriel"

" that's my cue, see you later man"

Wow this is the chance to be finally free

From elexis and actually fight against them.

I don't get why they're so nervous, I mean it's just to take care of one chinzy human for a whole year. what could possibly go wrong?

" no. 65! Michael"

Welp! I guess it's now or never

" hello Michael " the headmaster greets behind the desk

"Hello"

" I believe you know why you're here?" The headmaster asks

" yes sir" I answer fighting the urge to roll my eyes

" this assignment is your only ticket to being free from elexis , so I'm sure you're smart enough to complete this assignment without difficulties "

" yes sir" can we just get this over with?

" pick the files over there " he says pointing to a glowing file floating on top of other files. I pick it up and look at the details

Name: kendra Adams

Age: 17

School: Eastbourne high

Favorite color: red

Likes: sleeping, watching TV, and food

Are you for real?

Dislikes: school, human population

Ha! I love this chick

Favorite places : the bed, the couch

Worst place: school, the outside world

Best attribute: still figuring it out

Worst attribute: very clumsy

Well.. She's not thaaat bad

" so who's your assignment?" The headmaster asks

" oh. Uh kendra Adams " I answered still looking at the file

" wow luck is not on your side" he says tutting

" what do you mean? "

" please look at the wall by your right " he points to the Wall

I look at the wall and I see a video of this cute chick bumping into a wall, falling down the stairs, tripping on air, getting her hand stuck in a garbage disposal, falling into a manhole, trapped in a freezer, being picked up by a garbage truck almost carried by a circus and many absurd ways to die. Oh did I mention almost cutting her finger off!

" how is this chick still alive?!" I ask still watching in horror

" well she's had other students who are now angels protect her. Many has had to come back another year due to failing. But you do not have that grace. Fail and you're going back to Elexis. Are you up for the challenge?" He asks looking at me through his rimmed glasses

" I don't have Much of a choice do i?" I mutter under my breath

I looked at the video again, oh God, remember when I said nothing can go wrong? Yeah About that

I was super wrong!

****************

(Kendra's POV)

Finally the soul sucking torment is over! But sadly I still have to go back for the rest of the year, amazing; once again NOT!

" mom I'm home!" I scream trying to make my presence known. What? I like the attention at home sue me

"In the kitchen sweetie" my mum calls back

"Hey honey how was school?" She asks cutting the vegetables for dinner I guess

" well let's see today, I almost got hit by a truck, got bitten by the class rabbit, slammed my face in a locker, got my head stuck in a toilet; don't ask, tripped and fell in my own spaghetti other than that it was good" I shrug putting a grape in my mouth

"Oh my gosh honey, are you okay?" She gasps

"Yeah I'm fine, I told you mum I've got super powers, I never get injured or feel anything apart from embarrassment" I say pushing my chest out

" hmm sure, now go freshen up we've got guest coming

" uh guest? "

" yeah Lacey and her brother "

" why is Lacey coming " I start to whine but then I remembered the last thing she said " wait did you say her brother? " I ask my mouth agape

Did I mention Lacey and William are siblings?

No?

Well now I have

"Yes now hurry up and go get ready"

I run up the stairs, and of course missing a step I go tumbling down the stairs but I don't feel a thing, it just feels like pillows

" honey be careful " my mum calls from the kitchen. She's pretty much used to my bad luck and clumsiness by now

I go up the stairs again but this time slowly and carefully

I knock on my brother's door not waiting for him to answer, I go in

What? He does it too

I close my eyes and say " whatever you're doing stop doing it"

He just sighs

" what's sup " yes he's weird like that

" well you said you'll do anything right? " I ask

"Yeah why? He furrows his eyebrows.

" well I need you to do two things for me" I say clasping my hands

"Okay what do you want?" He asks sitting up from his bed

" well I need you to do my physics and maths homework for the rest of the year, I also want you to convince Lacey to say nice things about me to her brother " I say in one breath

" and why would I do that? " he smirks

" well because I'm your sister and you love me, also because you wouldn't want mum to find out you left me at home so you could drive your girlfriend to school which almost made me get hit by a truck " I smirk back

" you wouldn't " he squints his eyes at me

"Oh yes I would"

We stare at each other until he finally gives up

" ugh fine, you win. Now get out" he says pointing to the door

" thanks you're the best"

"Uh huh"

" love you I say leaving the room

"Love you too" he says bacK

Yeah he's annoying sometimes but he's one of my favorite people.

I go to my room and go straight to my closet. Hmmm what to wear, what to wear. Aha!.

I pick out a Navy blue off shoulder knee length gown and a gold belt

This better be worth it if I'm dressing up this nice.

I go to bathroom down the hallway, undress and get into the shower. Then I wait for it to warm up

After taking a shower I look at myself in the mirror

I'm not ugly but I'm also not drop dead model gorgeous either

I brush and flush my teeth it dozen hurt to be too hygienic.

I tie my towel around my body and exit the bathroom

When I get to my room and close the door I see a random guy dressed in white sitting on my bed scrolling on a weird looking phone. And Damn is he handsome.

He looks up and I think I heard him mutter

" oh shit"

**************************We just stayed there staring at each other both wide eyed.

Isn't this the part where I'm supposed to scream?

It is?

OK then

Here goes

"aaaaah, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY BEDROOM!" I asked still clutching my towel

" xup I'm Michael. your guardian angel" the boy says extending his hands to shake.

" What do you mean my guarding angel? is this a prank or something? cause if it is you've got another thing coming chiko" who the hell is this guy?

" it's not a prank dork. i really am your guardian angel "

"oh really prove it"

"Honey?" My mum knocks at the door and looks around the room " who're you talking to?"

"Huh?".

" sweetie we've talked about this, I thought you've outgrown your imaginary friends two years ago" she says sympathetically

"Ugh mum. I do not have imaginary friends and that was a phase!" I groan

"OK but hurry up the guests will be here soon" she says looking around my room once more before leaving my room

"You had imaginary friends at the age of fifteen?" He Snickers

"It was a phase!"

" at fifteen? "

" whatever. I still don't believe you " I say folding my arms

" what more proof do you want?" He asks sighing

" oh I'm sorry. If I don't believe a random dude in my room telling me he is my guardian angel.!"

" OK well how do you think you haven't been injured or felt any pain. Huh?" He asks raising one eyebrow

"Well I guess that kind of makes sense" I say sitting beside him " that still doesn't explain shit"

He just rolls his eyes in response

" Your mum can't see me" he points out

"I can" I reply folding my arms.

" That's what I'm trying to figure out "

"Honey hurry up! They'll be here soon!" My mum screams from downstairs

"Well, nice meeting you but get out" I say pointing to my door

" and why would I do that?" He questions raising his eyebrows

"Oh I don't know maybe because I'M NAKED AND I WANT TO DRESS UP?" What's wrong With this guy

" no can do princess, knowing you, you could stab your eyeball with a mascara or trip and fall while wearing your dress" he says smirking

Oh come on! Don't tell me he's part of the smirkers too

But he's not wrong those two things has almost happened before

I sigh and pick up my dress, pull it over my towel, the I brush and pack my hair in a messy bun, no time to straight, then I apply lip gloss and mascara.

There I'm good to go

"So Michael what do you think?" I twirl

He looks at me and shrugs " meh I've seen better

I scowl at him " you're an angel aren't angels supposed to be nice? "

"An angel in training, and trust me I'm not a regular Angel" he chuckles

" what's that supposed to mean?"

"You'll see"

I roll my eyes "anyways have you figured out why I can see and talk to you?"

" uh no, but I've gotten a message saying we should all gather at Linux " he says showing me his weird looking phone thing

"What's a Linux?"

"It's where I live" he answers in monotone

"Oh, anyways what's that stuff in your hand?" I ask pointing to his weird looking phone thing

"Oh it's a communication device, we use in Linux" he replies

"Oh so you mean like a phone?"

"What the hell is a phone" he looks at me in confusion

"Are angels allowed to curse?"

" angel in training, and I told you I'm not a regular Angel "

I'm still wary of this dude

"OK freak, why was I chosen as your assignment" I'm not trying to annoy him, I'm just curious

" ugh you ask a lot of questions," he says rolling His eyes

Uh rude!

" trust me I don't know " he finally replies " it's the question I've been asking myself since I met you"

I gasp

"Well congrats you're stuck with me, so get used to it" I smirk and put on my black flats

And head downstairs

But before I leave I hear him mutter

"Bitch"

Oh this is going to be great,

I think you know the word

NOT!

Kendra's Pov

I feel tight

Too tight

I tried to raise my hands but they feel heavy

What the hell?

I open my eyes and I see that I'm wrapped in a bubble wrap

Again

What.

The

Hell?!

I turn to my right and see Michael sipping what I believe tea from a golden cup

Is he serious right now?

"Michael why the fuck am I wrapped in this?" I asked through gritted teeth

"Well good morning to you too dork, aren't you just a ray of sunshine?" He smirks still sipping his tea

"Fuck you! Why am I wrapped in this?" I asked still trying to move but with no luck

" because princessa, I was out for a while, and I can't afford to fail my assignment just because you don't know how to walk properly " he says rolling his eyes and I growl at him

"Ugh whatever just get me out of this thing" I say struggling

With a snap of his fingers I'm free

Phew

I think I have a few mins so I'm just gonna close my eyes and............

RING!

" time for school sweetie!" My mum shouts from downstairs

I hate you Michael

Well on the bright side I get to see William

Oh shit! I haven't told tori about last night, I wonder how excited she's going to be

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" Tori screamed in the hallway as other students gave us weird looks

" can you tell your weird friend to tone it down? Some of us like our ear drums thank you very much" Michael groaned beside me

I forgot he's even here

But I agree with him

"Shhh, you're drawing attention to us" I whisper yelled

"Sorry I'm just so excited for you, I mean you've been wishing for this since forever and now it has finally come true" tori says with a smile and Michael gagged

"You're just jealous" I say to Michael who's standing behind tori

"Excuse me? " she ask with a confused and hurt expression

"No I swear I didn't mean it like that ....." Before I could continue my explanation, warm hands wrap around my waist

"Good morning beautiful" William whispers in my ear

Am I not supposed to shiver?

Oh well

"Good morning" I greeted and turned to talk to tori but she wasn't there anymore I sighed and turned to William and smiled

"Is something wrong?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows

"Nope just tired, soooo"

"Yeah I was thinking we should go on our date this Friday, what'd you think"?

" awesome " I answered smiling then the bell rung

"I'll see you later Kendra" he waved and walked away

I groaned and turned to Michael

"It's not even up to 24hrs since I've met you and you've already started ruining my life, thanks a lot" I slammed my locker and started walking to my next class

Michael didn't say anything just followed me

(English class)

Tori didn't sit next to me like the other days instead she sat in front of me

I've been trying to get her attention but to no avail

"Tori, tooooori, TORI"

HMMM there's one more thing that might work

"Victoria!" She turned and glared at me

I smirked, always works

"What?" She whispered harshly

"I'm so sorry about what happened in the hallway please meet me in the library during lunch I'll explain everything to you" I pleaded

She looked at me skeptically then nodded

I sighed in relief

"I hope you don't plan on doing what I think you're doing?" Michael asks

I don't reply, I only smirked

(At lunch)

"Kendra this is a bad idea, you can't tell about me" Michael says walking beside me

"Tori is my best friend I have to tell her, besides it's your fault she's not talking to me"

I reply but do not slow my pace

"My fault? You're the one who can't keep your mouth shut" he says expatriates

"Oh really, then I'm gonna show you how bad I am at keeping my mouth shut" I raise my chin and continue walking towards the library

When I got there, I saw tori sitting in the corner as if sensing my gaze she looks up

"Hey" I smile nervously

"Get to the point"

OK so no time for pleasantries

"It's not too late to back out" Michael tries to convince me buy I glare at him

Here goes

"I know this may sound crazy but I have a guardian angel" I don't know what I expected to happen but this was not one of them

After staring at me blankly she burst out laughing

I mean tears strumming face laughing

Oh boy this is gonna take a whole lot of convincing

Kendra's Pov

Ok so she's still laughing

And I'm starting to get annoyed but I can wait for her to finish I guess

"Ugh can you tell your friend to shut up" Micheal groans

So I guess he can't wait

" Tori please say something you've been laughing for 5 mins" I beg. Ok maybe it's not up to five minutes but still it's too long

She finally stops laughing. Thank God

"Kendra you don't have to lie about it. I'm your Best friend, I won't judge you sweetie" she cooes

What the heck is she talking about?

" I think your friend has finally lost it. Makes sense I mean she has been your friend for a long time that's another type of torture" Michael oh so kindly says. I just ignore him because I'm a mature person and I don't just give in to fights

Ok so maybe I kind of gave him the middle finger subtly but A for effort!

"Um Tori what are you talking about?"

She sighs and says "you don't have to pretend. I know your imaginary friend is back. Or is it a new one? "

" Oh no that's not-" I start to say but Michael cuts me off

"you better go with or else I'll make you fall in the toilet and it won't be empty" he seethes

........

Geez

Um that was something........

" Yeahhhhh I have an imaginary friend" I say. I'm so ashamed of myself right now

" Ooooh what's his name?" She looks excited for me, it's weird

I mean I don't want to lie to her completely so I guess saying his actual name won't hurt. "Michael"

Speaking of Micheal, he hasn't really said anything honestly, he just looks bored

Serves him right for being a jerk

How dare him threaten me with poop!

"Is he cute?" She asks sitting up

Michael perks up at that. He looks at me and smirks

"Meh he's alright" I shrug and his smirks dies down

Ha!

"Wait why'd you assume he's a boy" I ask furrowing my eyebrows

She rolls her eyes and says "come on I know you well enough to know that you won't waste your imagination on girls"

Michael snorts at that

Oooowkayyyyy

" Remember the time you were saving money for you and Dylan Sprouse's wedding? And you sent him the invitation through email? I don't even know how you got his email address. I mean-"

" Anywaaaaaaay" I cut her off " let's talk about something else

"Oh my goodness" Micheal wheezes " you are something else. First it's your imaginary friend, now it's you planning your wedding with a celebrity that's like ten years older than you"

Ok so like maybe that was a bit crazy but like I was going through a phase!!!! Stop judging meee

I just glare at him and ignore not because he has my life in his hands or anything

I'm still shaking from the poop threat

" Ok ok I'll talk about something else. Soo what are you and William doing for your date?" Tori asks bringing out snacks from her bag

Oooh Pringles

I help myself to the can

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't want to talk about your date with pruny William" Michael complains

" He's not pruny!" I shout. What does the word pruny mean anyway?

Tori gives me a knowing look

Yeah this isn't embarrassing at all

" We haven't discussed anything yet. Maybe after School" I answer

She starts to say something but then the bell rings. It's been 30 minutes already??? I guess almost telling your best friend that you have a guardian angel makes you lose track of time

************************************

Ok so I couldn't get a hold of William after school. He's In the debate team so I guess they had some after school activities or something. He's so smart

"If you don't get your head out of your dream world. You could run into a trash can or better yet get hit by a car. Not that I'm complaining about either one of them" Michael oh so kindly breaks me out from my daydream. He's so nice...... NOT!

"Well it's kind of your job to stop either on one of those things" I snap back and he just rolls his eyes.

Michael doesn't talk much just to insult me or tell me when to dodge you know things that could potentially kill me.

"Mom I'm home!" I shout my daily words but I go upstairs immediately and Micheal follows after. We go to my room and I close my door

"So far today, I saved you from the class rabbit, the chemicals in the science lab, what were you thinking?" Michael says and I just shrugged

" Anyways" he continues " I saved you from the locker almost smashing your nose, saved you from the eagle that tried to carry you away annnnd so far so good"

" Yada yada yada, you just listed my everyday life" I say rolling my eyes

" Now I believe you're my guardian angel and all but I want to know everything I mean everything.no lies mister" I say in the most serious way I could and if you know me very well you'll know it's not that serious.
