Chapter 2
CPOV
By the time we got to the field, me and my three best friends were looking good. I have to say, even I looked good!
Macey was wearing a black Bodycon skirt and a white lacey quarter sleeve shirt with a black bow on the back. With that she wore black bow back heels. She just had her long black hair natural and loose and applied her normal amount of make up.
Liz had on a floral button down dress with a brown belt. She wore grey flats with a bow on the end. Her blonde hair was put in an adorable half up half down style and curled. She just had some mascara and very light natural eye shadow on.
Bex had on dark wash skinny jeans and had on a red tank top and a black leather cropped jacket. She had on high heeled boots. Her hair was pin straight. She had on black eyeliner that made her look dangerous and some red lipstick. It was the perfect look for her.
I, on the other hand, refused skirts or anything with heels. I bargained with Macey and she agreed to let me wear favorite pair of jeggings that were nice and comfy. I wasn't allowed to wear sweatshirts sadly, so I wore a light blue button down shirt that was higher in the front than it was in the back. She had me wear some casual grey boots. My hair was natural. She put on some light, brown eyeliner and brown mascara just to make my eyes pop. She added in some lip gloss to my dismay.
Mr. Solomon looked us up and down. The heels some girls were wearing took him off guard but he shook his head and ignored it.
"Ladies, tonight you will be going to the Roseville carnival to tail some operatives." My breathing hitched. Exactly a year ago, I met my first boyfriend, Josh, at the same carnival. Would he be there tonight? What would I do if I saw him? My roommates looked at me with concern, knowing what I was thinking of.
"Cam, if you see him, you don't have to talk to him. It's going to be okay." Bex whispered. I just gave her a weary smile as I nodded in response.
"You each will be tailing one of them. Listen up ladies. These operatives are your age. These operatives are boys. Boys that are just. Like. You."
A couple of girls started whispering and hopping around. I hear Tina say, "I KNEW IT!" and other girls asking if they looked good.
After things quieted down, Mr. Solomon gave us our subject's file.
Mine was pretty normal I guess.
Name: Zachary Goode
Age: 17
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'8''
He seemed kind of…hot. Bex and Macey all got boys that they seemed interested in also. Liz didn't have to tail anyone since she wasn't in CoveOps. She had to monitor everyone with the other girls in Research and Development.
Bex's subject:
Name: Grant Newman
Age: 17
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'9''
Macey's subject:
Name: Nick Peterson
Age: 17
Hair: Dirty blonde
Eyes: Hazel
Height: 5'8''
"This is so bloody exciting!" Bex exclaimed. Macey nodded in agreement. I just felt like puking. Josh might be at the carnival tonight. My first love. This, isn't going to go well.

"Boys, you may take off your blindfolds. We are now landing." Said Mr. Alexander.
As we got out of the helicopter we immediately surveyed our surroundings we seemed to be in a field. We heard carnival music not to far away.
"Gentlemen, today you will be going to a carnival in this wonderful town of Roseville. Of course, you will be tailed. Try to compromise your tail. If you can't find your tail in the next hour, you fail. If you find them before the hour, you come back here where you can monitor the rest of your class mates. All boys on the Research and Development track stay here and keep track of your classmates."
We started to walk away when he called out to us.
"Don't underestimate these operatives. They're good and they could be ANYONE."
With those parting words, we went off, unsure of what was to happen next.
