Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5:OFF TO AEGIS

sorry this chapter is a bit short, promise to make the next upload two times longer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning I woke up extra early to get dressed, mainly because I needed to hype myself up . So I started giving my self affirmations in front of the mirror and it basically went like this
"You are pretty, you are smart, you are an honor student for heaven's sake what would make Aegis reject an individual with such potential?",
"That is unless they are insane , but then again they are all too tier spies with years and years of experience and they've probably seen a lot of things,so them being insane isn't that far fetched. No pressure right",
After I finished giving myself affirmations,if you can call them that I got into the bath and took a hot shower and ultimately decided to wear a pair of black leather pants, a black spaghetti strap top and a leather jacket and I decided to pair it with my black sneakers. As for my hair I decided to put my hair in a ponytail or more appropriately a poof because my hair is quite curly and it just settles on top my head whenever I try to put it in a ponytail.
After I got dressed I headed downstairs to see dad and Noah downstairs discussing something that I wasn't the least bit curious about .
'Good morning dad', I greeted my dad
'Good morning sweetie ', dad replied with a smile
I didn't pay attention to Noah in the slightest that is until he said with a very annoying smirk 'Good morning Mikaela, are you ready to loose 500 pounds ',
To which I replied with an equally smug smirk 'Good morning, are you ready to loose your title as the youngest agent in Aegis?'
And I guess dad could tell by the death stares we were giving each other and decided to break the ice by saying that we should get going and that we would get burgers on the way, at the mention of food I happily made my way to the car and while dad sat in the passenger seat at the front of the self driving car , I was stuck with Noah at the back and needless to say it was a rather quiet trio filled with death stares .
I know that I appear very confident in the fact that Aegis will hire me as an agent but on the inside I am panicking, obviously I didn't show it because you don't show the enemy your weakness ,that is just the number one rule in life, so while I was panicking internally the car stopped at a drive thru and dad asked us what each of us wanted.
Noah ordered a salad without any dressing, boring much. Dad also ordered a salad but with dressing, boring but better than than what Noah ordered. While they were having they're salad fest, I ordered a double cheeseburger with extra cheese,a side of fries and almost every sauce they had, which resulted in Noah turning to me in shock .
'what?!', I asked Noah in confusion while happily grabbing my burger and fries from the drive thru window.
'Nothing', Noah replied which I didn't really believe but I didn't care because I was too busy worrying about the bet and If Aegis would even consider taking me in as an agent.
Some people say that they can't eat through stress but I on the other hand have to eat through it, my mother says that I should be thankful that I have a fast metabolism , to which I always reply with a very happy yes .
Once I was done happily eating my burger we arrived at the Aegis branch located in Wales which didn't look like much but when we got down and dad showed him his badge that for some reason he carried they let us in and might I say it looked straight out of a sci-fi novel.
