Hi everyone! I hope you all had a happy Easter or whatever else was yesterday. Thank-you for everyone who supported this chapter, it is very much appreciated! I'm busy after school every day this month with volleyball and piano so I will try to update as much as possible. I hope you all understand! Here is Chapter 2!
Chapter 2
It's seems that everyone has been talking about the exchange. The whole day, Macey and Bex have been talking about the exchange. I know what you are thinking, Bex … excited about boys? Well at least that's what I thought until Macey and her started jumping up and down. I thought that Bex would never go to the dark side of boys….. Then there's Liz having a nervous breakdown in the corner. I was calm and relaxed about the news…..just kidding I was having a nervous breakdown in the corner with Liz. In Madame Dabney's class, she taught us even more ways to be graceful around boys and in P&E, our teacher taught us special moves( some of them are illegal but you didn't here that from me) to hurt boys in very painful looking ways.
After all our classes were finished, we( Macey, Bex, Liz, and I ) went to the school library to find any information abut Blackthorne, because you can't go into the enemies territory with no information about them. Ok, they probably aren't enemies but you never know…..
Anyway, the school library is the ultimate answer source to all your questions….. kind of like Google. The school library has dark wooden floors that goes across the huge room ( I mean it's bigger than the Grand hall!) with super tall white walls with crown molding. Hanging from the ceiling is most expensive looking chandelier that adds lots of light to the room. On one side of the room is all the dark wooden shelves that are over flowing with books that show you a whole new world when you open them. On the other side of the room is a huge wood burning fireplace that warms up the whole room and a bunch a bunch of tables and designer couches. Yeah….. and here we are wondering why everyone thinks this school is for rich girls.
When we all got to the library, we found a nice table by the fireplace. Liz started to fire up her new laptop, while we got out pens, pencils, and notebooks.
"Operation Blackthorne is now in session!" Bex said.
"Since when did we start calling it Operation Blackthorne?" Macey seemed pretty mad," I don't think we ever agreed on that name-"
"Macey just roll with it!"
"Okay."
"Guys, let's move," Liz commanded. See when ever we do our little snooping missions, the girls put me in charge of… well snooping and we put Liz in charge of research and hacking. She takes that job very seriously. I mean she will push you down so she can grab the better book.
A few hours later, we have gathered some information about Blackthorne:
- It's an all boy school( I know, no duh).
- This year the school will be 150 years old, so maybe that's why there's an exchange there, to celebrate.
- It's somewhere in the woods in Maine.
There was barely any information on Blackthorne that we could find. It was like our school didn't want us to know that much about Blackthorne… If you were to walk into the room you would see people sitting at a table surrounded by a wall of books, with three exhausted girls with bags under their eyes and a confused girl slamming her laptop closed in frustration.
"Guys I'm hungry let's go have dinner," I said groggily.
"Sure," they all replied very tiredly.
~~~~Page break~~~~
After an amazing dinner of spaghetti, Caesar salad, garlic French bread, and a slice of red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting( did I mention we have a famous chef?) we went upstairs to find all the sophomore girls sitting in the sophomore common room waiting for something.
"Macey, we need your help, we don't know a thing about boys…" one girl said shyly.
"Alright, everyone take a seat," Macey said as she walked to the front of the room.
I wasn't paying attention to the rest of what she said. I mean this is Macey talking about boys. We don't know how long this will last.
****One hour later****
"If you follow those rules you guys will be fine." she said after an hour of talking.
"Amen!" I said very loudly. That got a couple of stares.
Everyone started to get up and head to their rooms.
When we all got to our rooms, we changed and climbed into bed.
"You guys ready for tomorrow?" Liz seemed scared to me.
Different answers went out containing absolutely, I'm bloody ready and nope( nope was mine). I mean seriously, I am a sophomore that will be surrounded around boys for a term and I don't know how to act. I feel very vulnerable. Like a turkey during Thanksgiving. Slowly all my thoughts started to drift me off to sleep.
The next morning, about every girl in our class was in our room asking Macey to do their make-up. Of course she said yes. Every single girl in our class had make-up on except for me( hopefully Macey won't notice...crap will that mean I will stand out to boys?). I looked down at the book I was reading and thought, it's time to go.
Almost all the girls were downstairs with their bags waiting to leave. My mother appeared at the front of the mob of girls trying to silence us so she could count how many were here.
"We are missing one girl does anyone know who is miss-" my mom started to say before she got cutoff.
"I'm here, I'm here!" Everyone looked up to see Macey dragging 8 Louis Vuitton bags down the stairs. I looked down at my 2 duffel bags. Did I under pack? My mom opened the doors to the outside and everyone started to go outside to the plane that will be taking us to Blackthorne. No going back now I thought.
