And I'm pretty sure Tombér doesn't have a last name, so…I just made up one for him. Wasn't that hard…I mean, "Tombér" is just French for "to fall"…Really, I googled it, and used google translator…The last name I used for him means "to tumble over." Lol :)

Chapter 4
Later that night, while Holley was occupied in the shower, Jessica was excitedly sharing the news with Katie and Mary.
"She likes him! She told me herself!" She squealed.
"Well, then I guess there's no use drooling over him anymore…" Mary pointed out, lowering her eyes to the floor.
"So-o, we could either be selfish and do something to make him un-like her, or…" Katie began.
"…or be good friends and set them up?" Jessica finished with a grin.
"I have a way to do both!" Katie exclaimed.
"Both?" Mary asked.
"Both? What?" Jessica said.
Katie's smile fell. "Eh… Not really. But I have a plan…" Her smile returned.
…
The three girl snuck around the outside of the school even later that night. It was dark out, the only light coming from the moon. The cold fall breeze made them shiver and pull their jackets tighter around them.
They rounded a corner, abruptly stopped, and shuffled back behind it. Looking around the building, Mary sighed.
"What?" Jessica asked.
"Look at how the moonlight reflects off his-"
"Quiet!" Katie hissed, pulling her back from around the corner and against the dirty brick wall.
Finn was sitting under a tree, fiddling with some sort of spy gadget.
"Ready ninja disguises." Jessica said.
"Why are we dressing up like ninjas, again?" Mary asked.
"So in case he sees us, he won't recognize us… Duh…" Katie said. "Besides, ninjas are cool. Everyone should just be ninjas."
"We're not exactly ninjas, all we have are masks." Jessica pointed out.
"It'll do the trick, won't it?" Katie sassed.
"…why are we kidnaping him, again?" Mary asked.
Both Jessica and Katie smacked their foreheads.
"Let's just go…" Katie sighed.
…
The next morning, Finn was nowhere to be found.
"Finn? Fi-inn! FINN! Where is he?" The dorm room was in a state of chaos as Siddeley searched everywhere.
"Sid, no offense, but I don't think he could be hiding anywhere you're looking right now." Leland said, then sighed. "Blimey, where did he sneak off to?"
"Finn! Come 'ere Finnie-Finnie-Finnie…"
Leland looked at Siddeley with a strange expression. "Sid, you are aware your friend isn't a dog, right?"
"Yes?"
Leland sighed again. "Maybe we should tell someone…"
"Let's just go get some breakfast. Maybe he'll turn up." Siddeley shrugged, his stomach rumbling.
"Fine." Leland agreed.
The two of them left the room.
"He might be with Tombér…" Leland suggested.
"Maybe. Best bet we've got, so far, I guess."
…
By lunch, Finn still hadn't turned up.
"Where the bloody hell could he be?" Leland wondered aloud.
"Maybe Holley has something to do with it…" Siddeley joked.
"Tombér? You have any ideas?" Leland asked. To their disappointment, Tombér had shown up to lunch alone. When asked about Finn's whereabouts, he replied that he had no idea.
"No. Maybe he's hiding somewhere flirting…"
Both Leland and Siddeley looked at him strange.
"It could happen." Tombér shrugged.
"With Finn? Uh-uh." Siddeley shook his head.
Just then, the intercom crackled on and echoed throughout the cafeteria.
"Would Tombér Culbuter please come down to the school office? Thank you."
Tombér looked from the speaker on the wall to Siddeley and Leland.
"…well… We did try to warn you…" Leland broke the uncomfortable silence.
Tombér grumbled something to himself, got up, and walked out of the cafeteria.
…
That night, Leland and Siddeley were pacing their dorm, worried about Finn.
The door banged open and Tombér stormed in, dropped to the ground next to his bed, reached under it, and pulled out a suitcase.
"Tombér?"
"I was expelled." Tombér said through clenched teeth.
"I'm guessing this isn't the best time to say, 'I told you so'?" Siddeley asked.
Tombér looked over at him with a look that could kill.
"…or that I call your top bunk?" Siddeley added.
"Shut the hell up, you sot."
"Tombé-é-ér, I hate it when you insult us in French." Siddeley pouted.
Leland sighed. "I'm going to go look for Finn." He said standing up and walking towards the door.
"I'll go with you." Siddeley said, standing up, as well.
"I'm staying here." Tombér grumbled, and continued packing.
…
Holley's POV
I was confused. Was Finn sick today? Unlikely... Working up the courage to do so, I decided to go see Siddeley about it.
I got to their dorm just as Leland and Siddeley were walking out. Their fourth roommate was muttering angrily to himself inside.
"Holley!" Siddeley said, surprised.
"Hi, Sid. Uh… This sounds a bit… Strange and… Probably stalker-ish. But I was wondering if Finn was sick, or something, because h-he doesn't usually miss class, and…" I stumbled over my words. I guess coming from a normal high schooler, that would sound awfully creepy but I suppose since we, of course, attended a school for spies, it wasn't all that strange to be freakishly observant. Probably.
"Actually, he... We don't know." Siddeley admitted.
"You don't know? Where is he?" I asked.
"We don't know. He's missing." Leland crossed his arms, a deep frown on his face.
"We were just going to go look for him. Maybe he fell asleep in a tree, or …Something…"
Leland and I stared at Siddeley blankly.
"Has he ever told you he fell out of a tree when he was four?" Leland asked me.
"And landed on his head?" I finished.
"Yep." Leland said.
"Lucky guess. My brother fell down a window well… On his head." That was true; Harry did fall down a window well and land on his head when we were toddlers… He doesn't remember, but the image of my aunt running around like a chicken with her head cut off in the front yard, black hair dye dripping down her face, was permanently engraved into my memory.
"Hm… Hey! Why don't you go get him, and you two can come with us. We'll split into two groups." Leland suggested.
"Really?" I asked. "Wouldn't that be… I don't know. Weird?"
"I think that's a great idea." Siddeley agreed.
"Alright." I smiled, pulling out my phone.
It rung two times. Three. Four. Lazy Harry…Five…
"Hello?"
"Harry? Meet me at the back doors of the school."
"Why?"
"Just do it, please?"
…
"And I'm going to help you, why?"
"Because, I may or may not have hacked into the school's computer earlier and found out you're going to be our new roommate. The three guys in your room are dropping out, and our fourth just got expelled." Siddeley informed him. Leland cleared his throat. "Uh… Leland helped."
"Did most of the work." Leland corrected.
"…Really? I'm going to share a room with you guys?"
"Yep." Leland said.
"Alright, so… Alright… Where should we start looking?"
"We've decided to split into groups of two." I explained.
"Hey, Harry, why don't you come with me? Bonding time!" Siddeley cheerfully suggested, sliding next to Harry and putting his arm around him. Leland rolled his eyes, and walked over to me.
"Okay." Harry agreed.
"I have a feeling those two are going to get along very well…" I said to Leland, who replied,
"Oh, yeah…"
"Alright, Harry and I will search the east side of the school, and the eastern outside property. You two take the west."
"Alright." Leland said. He took my arm, and led me down the hall.
The end! Seriously kidding. :) Two things off the checklist. :) I've got a lot of work to do… -_-
