"You girls are going on a mission to retrieve the stolen item. The item is currently in Spain. You will be heading there by plane, of course. This is not a test. The only people who are going to save you would be your fellow classmates. I'm going to be giving you girls your covers and—"
Tina had raised her hand, therefore making Mr. Solomon stop talking. I hope it's a good question. "Yes Miss Walters?" he said impatiently.
"Well, um, I was just wondering, what is the stolen item?"
"Ah, yes. Good question Miss Walters. They have stolen Gillian Gallagher's sword," he said ever so nonchalantly as we gasped in unison. "Yes, yes. I know it is devastating, but we must focus on retrieving it before Spain is able to harness the tremendous energy and blow up the countries that would be considered a threat, such as the United States.
"These are your covers." He handed out manila pee chee folders. Not very professional in my opinion. Maybe there was a shortage of regular manila folders? I opened my folder:
Name: Magdalena Selena Gonzalez
Age: 16
Family Members: -sister: Jaslene Gonzalez (Macey McHenry)
-father: Alfonso Roberto Gonzalez. Traveling merchant
-mother: Catalina Elena Gonzalez. Deceased at age 3
Hometown: Barcelona, Spain
Pets: One cat named Suzie
Explanation: Visiting friends along with boyfriend
I laughed at the second to last line. Underneath the paper that held my cover was another:
Name: David Antonio Cantigos (Zachary James Goode)
Age: 16
Relationship: boyfriend to Magdalena Selena Gonzalez (Cameron Ann Morgan)
Hometown: Barcelona, Spain
Family Members: -father: deceased
-mother: works in Barcelona, Spain.
My jaw dropped when I read the first and third line. Blackthorne is going with us?!? I wonder if anyone else knows. I glanced around and saw Bex, Liz, and Macey with the same expression I had just a couple of seconds ago. Other people knew, I concluded.
"We will have you all on a plane by at least 10:00 am, but you will not be all on the same planes of course. You will go by dorms. Two dorms to a plane," he finalized, assuming we finished reviewing our covers. He handed us our flight schedules. We were boarding with Anna, Tina, and Mick, not to mention we were sharing a suite with them. Oh joy.
……………………
As soon as I sat down next to Bex on the plane I looked more closely inside the pee chee folders. We were going to stay at the Wellington Hotel.(AN: it's real) Ooh Fancy. We had the Executive Advance Super Saver Suite. Room 204. Nice, I smiled. We were going to be there until Sunday. FYI, it's Monday at roughly about 5:34 am.
I thought it would be a good time to ask Bex about the Blackthorne Boys thing, but I had to make sure that Tina knew nothing about this.
"Bex!" I whisper-shouted so I wouldn't disturb the other passengers. "Bex!" I tried again. She groaned as she woke up, probably dreaming of Grant.
"What is it?" she asked angrily. I replied, "I wanted to talk about the mission."
"Shoot," she said sleepily, not literally meaning it.
"I can't believe Blackthorne is coming with us," I told her with amusement.
"I know!" she sprang up but was quieted by the flight attendant. "But you know it makes sense because we are their sister school."
"I wonder who else is going," I sort of asked.
"Well we know Grant and Zach are coming for sure," she confirmed.
"Jonas is most likely going to come.." I trailed off.
"Who would come for Macey?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe Liz can use her superior hacking skills to find out exactly who's coming." We stood up and walked over to Liz and Macey. Macey was reading a Vogue magazine as Liz was on her laptop.
"Hey Liz," Bex said, "do you think you could try and see what Blackthorne boys are coming?"
"Well sure—" Liz was interrupted by Tina. "The Blackthorne boys are coming?" Tina screamed.
"No," I lied. "Why would you think that?"
"Because," she started, "Bex just asked Liz when they were coming, and I know I wasn't hearing things."
"Well you know what Tina, you heard wrong," Bex corrected her. Tina replied, "No, I didn't." Her voice was firm.
"Uh yeah. You did."
"No. I heard right, and you can't lie to me." With that she walked back to Mick and started talking, of course. I wasn't surprised.
During the argument, Liz started searching the school's documents for this mission. "Okay," she said pulling up a document, "the boys who are officially coming are: Zach, Grant, Jonas, Ryan, and some other people. Their names are Caleb Johnson, Noah Collins, Kyle Harris, Mason Hill, Owen Martin, Blake Roberts, Jared Cooper, and Trevor Stone. Those are just the juniors, there are more though."
……………………
The rest of the ride was like any other: the flight attendants give you food, you watch a movie, fall asleep, things like that. We got our luggage and headed to the Wellington hotel in a taxi cab. I went up to the front desk and hoped the hotel room was under my name.
"Name?" the woman at the front desk asked.
"Cameron Morgan?"
"Yes we have your room keys right here." She handed me seven room keys and said, "Have a nice day!"
I handed out all the keys and we got on the elevator. When we got to our rooms I just had one word spaced into five syllables: "Unbelievable."
.REVIEW PLEASE.
