I woke up this morning and did the usual getting-ready-for-the-day routine. Macey took much longer than me, Liz, or Bex. We had to drag her away from her mirror.
When we got to the dining hall, it said today was English with an English accent. Bex would pull that off easily. Macey would have the hardest time doing that but Bex always helped us with our English accents.
Mr. Solomon stopped us when we were about to enter the dining hall.
"Come, girls, Headmistress Morgan wishes to speak to you," he said, looking pointedly at all of us.
We followed, all the while wondering what my mom could possible need this early in the morning. My mom was sitting at her desk and she was looking over some papers. I sat in the seats that were for guests in her office, and so did Bex, Liz and Macey. Mr. Solomon stood in the corner.
"Girls," Mom looked up and smiled. "Good morning."
"Morning," we chorused at the same time.
"I have big news that I'm sure you will all be delighted to hear."
We waited for her to elaborate.
"Well…" Mom paused for effect. "You girls will be doing an exchange with Blackthorne."
It took a moment for the words to sink in and even when they did, we were speechless. Us at Blackthorne?
"But wait! There is a twist," My mom was grinning wickedly. She had something up her sleeve…
"You are going to Blackthorne but you're doing it undercover," Mom smiled.
Now was the time to freak out but still, no words came out. My mom was beginning to worry. She frowned and asked, "Something wrong?"
"No," even though I was freaking out inside, the word came out steady and strong. "But one question."
"Yes?"
"What are our covers?"

As I read over the paper, I realized some of us would have to tweak our appearance- only a bit though. Nothing major.
"When do we leave?" I asked.
"Today but, another twist," I groaned as she said this. "You will be trailing the boys and they will have to find their tails. They don't know its four teenage age girls trailing them so girls, use that to your advantage."
We were sent to pack, with no breakfast. Macey packed for us all, though we helped her. Then we all changed hair color, put in extensions, whatever we needed to match our covers.
Afterward, Mr. Solomon found us putting on the last of our clothing (to match our personality. Luckily I was a quiet one and I could just wear jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers but Macey insisted on putting some make up on me).
Mr. Solomon took us to the helicopter with our piles of bags. We were heading to a hotel where we would stay for the next two hours till the boys went on their mission. The ride took thirty minutes and we were blindfolded the whole time. We got to the hotel and Mr. Solomon said he would see us later.
After checking in and getting to our room, we immediately ordered breakfast.
"I'd like 10 pancakes, a lot of scrambled eggs, 15 pieces of toast, 4 glasses of chocolate milk and that should be all," Macey ordered (because she was the outgoing one). Another fifteen minutes and our food was here. We scarfed it all down. A little before twelve, our door opened to reveal my mom.
Me and the girls were watching Burn Notice and agreeing with most of the things they had to say but Liz kept shaking her head at the way me, Bex, and Macey were yelling at the screen when they did something wrong. She wasn't on the field agent track so of course she wouldn't understand.
Mom smiled when she saw us, "It's time. Don't worry about your bags, they will be taken to the school. The boys are on their way, let's go."
Bex jumped up, put on her glasses and said, "Let's do this!"
Our response was shaking our heads and laughing.
