Chapter 4

Field Trip

LENA'S POV.

So far the year had been going well. I was doing well in class so far, and I'd gotten to know Bex, Liz, and Macey pretty well. Everything was going great, and we had heard about a field trip we'd be taking in Cov. Ops. We were all excited about it and couldn't wait.

The sun was shining through the windows, and I was peacefully sleeping, when I was jolted from my sleep. Literally. I was thrown from my bed and to the floor.

"What's going on!? What's the objective!? What country is this!?" I asked rapidly.

"We're getting ready for the field trip. We're going to find out, and we're still at the Gallagher Academy." Liz stated.

"I had to get you up somehow." Bex stated.

I looked to Cammie.

"You'll get used to that as well." she said.

"I hope so. Or I'll just start setting an alarm. Yeah, I think I'll do that. How much time do we have?" I asked.

"We have another hour before we have to go to breakfast and than we leave immediately ." Liz stated.

"Thanks." I replied.

I got up and walked over to the dresser and closet I now shared with the girls and went through it. We would be hiding in plane sight, so I needed something casual. Something that wouldn't really stand out.

As I rummaged through the closet, I found my outfit piece by piece. It was still the summer, so I still had warm weather clothes in the closet.

I pulled out a purple poncho-like shirt and a grey cardigan first. Next, I pulled out a black skirt and silver/grey knee high socks and black short boots. I also wore a silver chair necklace with five musical notes on it. It also doubled as a camra/ video recorder and a sound recorder. I also pulled out my black beret and a black beaded bracelet.

Once I had my outfit, I showered with my favorite body wash and shampoo, Cucumber and Melon from Bath & Body Works wash and shampoo. After, I dressed I blow-dried and re straightened my hair. All that was left was the make up. I wore light blush, some lip gloss(the lip gloss stick itself double as a laser shooter), and mascara.

"Well, how do I look?" I asked.

"Amazing!" Liz stated.

"Beautiful!" Bex replied.

"Very nice, I didn't even have to help." Macey said.

"Great as always." Cammie said fondly.

"Thanks girls. We should head down to breakfast." I stated.

"Yeah, let's go." Bex stated.

Grabbing our bags, we headed to breakfast.

We loaded up into the chopper that would take us to Washington for our Cov. Ops. field trip. We were supposed to scope out the hidden in plain sight operatives. These were government allstars and we were just students. We had to give it our all.

I was walking around scoping the area with Macey, and so far, I had seen a few people I believed to be operatives, like one women who had been a sales woman for a T-Mobile, who was now a Cinnabon worker. I especially knew because I had bought a Cinnabon as well.

"Seen anyone else yet, Mace?" I asked.

"Nope, not yet, but you certainly have gotten some attention." she stated.

I looked to where she was and noticed a boy, my age, stairing at me.

He had medium brown hair, and hazel eyes that were trained only on me. I looked back to Macey, who was smiling.

"He's cute, I'll give him that, but noting else. Come on, we have work to do." I stated.

"Yeah, you do, because here he comes. Good luck." she stated before walking away.

"Macey!" I nearly screamed, but kept my voice down.

The boy walked up to me and I silently gulped.

"Hey." he stated, standing in front of me.

"Hi." I replied.

"Your friend kind of just left you here." he stated.

"You saw that? Better be careful, some people might call you a stalker." I remarked.

Was I really flirting with this guy while on an assignment? So not okay.

"Well, sorry, but I have to go." I stated, turning.

"Wait, can't I at least know your name before you run off?" he asked.

"Trying to make this like Cinderella, huh?" I asked, smirking.

"I just want to know your name." he said sincerely.

Despite myself, I blushed deeply.

"Annalena, but my friends and family call me Lena. And you are? It's only fair." I stated.

"Nick Carter. Nice to meet you. You wanna grab a bite or something?" he asked, boldly.

"Wow, a brave one. Sorry, no thanks. I have things to do. See you around, maybe." I stated, and walked away.

I knew he was still watching, so I cut through the Journey's shoe store that happened to be there and and went through the other side of the store.

I saw Macey sitting on a bench looking smugly at me.

"What was that!?" I whisper shouted.

"I let you talk to the cute boy who was staring at you." she stated nonchalantly.

"We have a mission." I countered.

"Ever hear of multi-tasking?" she asked.

I narrowed my eyes and sighed after a moment and rolled my eyes.

"That's not the point and you know it, Macey." I stated.

"What, he was cute and into you. What's the problem?" she asked.

"We can't get distracted, we have to keep going." I stated.

"Alright, well, we've scoped all of our part of the mall, so I think we can head to the exhibit now." she stated.

"Alright, let's go." I replied.

As we left, I felt eyes watching me and turned, no one was there, but I knew someone was always there...

Once we made it to the exhibit, I noticed a boy with a satisfied smirk on his face as he walked past me and Mr. Solomon there with Cammie, who was blushing red.

"Um, what just happened here?" I asked.

"Your cousin is just mulling over how she was beaten at her own game. I'm sure she'll explain later. However, well done Miss Cameron, Miss McHenry. You managed to complete the objective." he stated.

I looked back to Cammie, who was still silent. This would certainly be something to talk about later...

OKAY, I HOPE YOU ALL LIKED PLEASE REVIEW BUT DON'T FLAME. PEACE OUT!
