Prologue.

So, there I was, Mikayla Robinson, about to take on the biggest challenge/responsibility of my life. The challenge/responsibility of taking on a school. Of boys.

September, 6th 2011.

Today is the day that I am meant to go back to the Gallagher Academy to start junior year. I've been at Blackthorne Institute for a week now, to see how my students are settling back into school. Thanks to a recent decision between Steven, Solomon and the Blackthorne Board of Directors, I'm never going back to study at the Gallagher Academy ever again.

We've decided that I'm going to finish my studies at Blackthorne, and, the best thing is that I can finally start acting like the headmistress of my school, instead of Steve stepping in.

I mean, sure, Steve is still going to teach at Blackthorne, but I'm the official headmistress now. I know it's not legal until I'm 18, but I'm 17 now and I have every right to take over.

It is my school after all.

"Kayla!" Someone shouted. I turned around to see Zach walking towards me.

"What are you doing awake at this time? It's 4:30! Wait, what's up?" I asked, once I noticed his eyebrows furrowed.

He sighed, running a frustrated hand through his hair. "The CoC are planning to kidnap Cammie and Macey in Boston today," he answered. I led him to my office and sat on the sofa, him sitting opposite me.

"Our insider left me a message telling me that they were planning to kidnap. My mother's going, with two other men," he stated.

I sighed. "I can't go. I've got too much to do, plus they'll be expecting someone to go and defend them. We can't go. We have to let them figure it out themselves otherwise they'll feel as if they'll always have someone to defend them."

"What?" he asked, looking at me like I'm crazy. "Are saying to just let them get attacked? What if they do get kidnapped?"

"Look, Zach," I started. "Cammie's a smart girl. She'll understand that she'll have to choose flight over fight. But, if you want, I suppose I could let you go to Boston, as long as you don't try and defend them."

He nodded with a victorious smile on his lips.

"Here," I said, walking over to my desk and pulling something out of the drawer. "You may need this." I threw him a key to the disguise room. He smiled, when he figured out what it was. "Now, go get ready. I'll get Solomon to drive you there and he can stay in case anything goes really wrong."

At 8:00, I went to the Mess Hall. All the boys were either seated, or getting the food, but otherwise, they were all in there. I got my food, and went to sit at the teachers table, in between Clark Sheen (R&D teacher) and Charlotte Darret (P&E teacher). Charlotte was the only other female in the whole school, so I always sat by her. She was a couple of years older than me – about 21 – but she went to the Gallagher Academy too, so we had something in common.

Once all the boys were seated, I went to the podium. "Gentlemen," I said into the microphone. They instantly shut up. "Due to an incident earlier in the week, Mr Lin will not be able to teach Covert Operations today-" At this, half of my students groaned. "However, I will be doing teaching that lesson for today and if needs be, I will also do tomorrows." At this, half my students cheered.

"Be warned, gentlemen. I am not a force to be reckoned with," I winked.

I excused myself, and went down to Sublevel 2 where I had the juniors for first period. I went over the notes that Mr Lin left for me.

Lying.

That was all he left for me. One piece of paper with the word Lying on it. Next to it was a sealed vial, and 14 syringes. It clicked in my head what we were meant to do.

The bell rang, and they started filing in. I saw Grant come in, looking slightly confused as to where Zach is I'm guessing. Sitting behind the desk, I put my feet on the desk, leaning back and placing my hands behind my head.

When I could hear silence and no more footsteps, I stood up. "Today, gentlemen," I paused, sending a wicked smile across the room. "Today, we're going to be playing with sodium pentothal."
