Hey Guys! So this, is the edited version of Planning the Final, chapter one, for those of the people who has read it.

Thanks to my reviewers for the first one: Fanfictionwriter28, Pianist707, SpanishGallagherGirl, Maryclumsy, and alwaysspellbound! I hope you guys like this one a little better! Enjoy!
Solomon's POV
I leaned back in my chair and sighed for what seemed to be the hundredth time that day (actually 57th, but who's counting?). It was time to plan the final for the sophomore class again, and this year was definitely more challenging. Rachel wants to have both the girl spies and the boy assassins to work together in this test. Do you see why this is so hard now?
Suddenly, it hit me. But, I'll need a lot more people than I did last year. You see, in "normal schools", kids are prepared by difficulty, hence the different grade levels. Not spy schools though. All of the covert operations tests, at least the ones that were prepared and planned by me, were about the same difficult, but the sophomores will get some things like more information, equipment set for them, and easier guards to fight compared to the seniors, but that's it. We have to prepared them for the dangerously life on the field, as soon as we can.
Okay, back to the test. This time, I want it to be a blind test, where as last year I personally had told Cammie that it was a test. I yanked open a drawer and grabbed a piece of scratch paper and pencil. As soon as I had a good grip on the pencil, my hand was flying across the page.
During the entire time I was making a basic outline of the exam, I thought only of Cammie and the promise I had made Matt before he had left for that mission. He told me that he had a feeling that, this time, he was closer than ever to bringing down the Circle. I remember seeing the glisten in his eyes, like a kid on Christmas morning. But, he said that he had a feeling that he won't make it back this time. I only chuckled, but I was in denial back then. Matt still forced me to promise to take care of his girls, just in case. I always thought of Cammie and Rachel as my own family, since Matt was like my brother, so I had agreed, but never had thought I'd have to keep that promise.
He was right. Mathew always was.
That's the main reason why I had taken the teaching job here. To protect Rachel, and train Cammie so that she's the best and so she'll be ready. Looks like I'm doing a good job, too. Cammie is always the leader, even in the smallest Covert Operations, and she sometimes doesn't even realize it! The other girls do though, and I guess that is the important thing.
I finished writing and filed away the paper. I scribbled a note, to slip under Rachel's office door later.
Can you call a staff meeting for the Sophomore CoveOps final? This time there will be more people involved. Slip me the time and location.

I sat down at lunch at the staff table the next day, and then that's when I noticed the slip of paper in my pocket. I racked my mind if she had passed me today. The only time she had gone anywhere near me today was in the Grand Hall, and she was a fairly long distance away! Will the Morgans ever cease to amaze me? I glanced up and caught Rachel's eye. She nodded slightly, that I almost thought I had imaged it. Nonchalantly opening the piece of paper, I acted as if I was reviewing some notes for class.

Looks like I better start finalizing my ideas. And find Harvey, there is a little call I'd like to make that night, without the help of jammers, at that…
Review please! Oh, and thanks to maryclumsy for catching my mistakes in the formatting! PM me if you'd like that better than reviewing!
