Sorry about the long absence. I've been busy with some rather incessant (and sometime scary) reviewers for my House of Night fanfiction. But I'm back now. Let's see what little Zanya has accomplished.

Diary of a Spy

2. Gaining Ground and Losing Contacts.

Week Two, Day Three:

I haven't been here all that long, and already lots of stuff has happened. So much that I can't report it all. But let's start off slow, shall we?

I haven't been able to speak to that Jean chick all that much, but I've struck up a "friendship" with her best friend Taryn. The girl is sickeningly sweet, but she does have an edge to her. I intend to use that to my advantage later on. Once I've sufficiently gained everyone's trust.

Last week, two of the Xavier kids didn't show up for classes at all, and their housemates were in a bit of a panic about it. Xavier called in to Principal Darkholme with an excuse, but I don't buy it. I think those two went on a mission that their teammates didn't know about. Such a shame I'm not a telepath. Then I could find out where they were. Can't have them getting too close to my home, now , can I?

Things seemed to simmer down… except for the fact that a road outside town was rendered completely useless, and the front part of the Xavier institute got slammed by what looked like a tornado. Yes, I know what a tornado looks like. I live in Florida, and those things spawn up all the time during hurricanes. But back to the important stuff. The road damage… I've got Alvers pegged for that one. But as to why someone would tear up the entrance hall of the mutant mansion, I don't know. All I really have to go on now is the fact that one of the instructors is called "Storm". Maybe she got into it with someone? Who knows? Well, they know, but I certainly don't.

To add another level of weirdness to all of this, Principal Darkholme has suddenly resigned. Guess I was right about her being not what she said. She must be a mutant, one that got hurt or that has to lie low. But I can't investigate any of this very much. Vice Principal Kelly is running the school now.

Kelly is an imbecile, plain and simple. Into conspiracies and whatnot and always on edge about something. He tries to instill the reverence/fear that Ms. Darkholme garnered, but he just can't measure up to her standard. She could stare a person to death. The only thing Kelly will get from staring is a large bruise when he collides with a door or a wall because he wasn't paying attention to where he was walking. A real pansy. And he only has eyes for his secretary.

All the Xavier kids came in looking pretty beat-up on Monday. The rumor mill says that there was a mishap during one of their physical fitness exercises, but given the fact that the Brotherhood boys looked fairly bruised as well, I'd say it was a fight. Maybe their bosses got into it? I'll have to look that up later.

My dad seemed pleased with the report I sent him, but I've heard that Atlantis was upset about something. I wonder what it could possibly be? The Dukes boy that attends school here is perfectly fine, so who would she worry about?

Maybe her father had something to do with it? Yes, dangerous feral mutant and his delinquent army attack prep school. That's a good headline. But it's one I should probably keep to myself.

Good news is that I will have most of the summer here to get closer to these mutants and learn their secrets. Provided they don't find mine out first.
