Chapter 4
CJ
The next day I woke up and went to the headmaster's office. I went up to Caroline and asked, "Why did you tell Ian".
"What did I tell Ian?" Caroline asked.
"Don't play dumb Mom" I yelled.
"Candace don't you raise you voice at your mother. It might work on your father but it doesn't work on me." my mom said.
"Mom, I don't care, Just why did you tell Ian about me being a spy for you and dad" I asked
"I did not tell Mr. Archer about you being a spy" my mom replied
"Then why did Gabe, Suki, and Ian know that you were my mother?" I asked with a tone.
"Mr. Forest, Ms. Sato, and Mr. Archer, must have found out on their own". My mom said.
I stormed out of the room with a huff and a puff. I don't think my mom was lying, because I read her emotions. I also was thinking about how Ian, Suki, and Gabe found out. So, many reasons were going through my head. Maybe, Ian heard it from one of the monitors. Or, maybe, Suki's dad could have told her and she told Ian, Gabe. But, that couldn't explain why she was so, suprised when I admitted it. I don't know who could have told all of them the secret of me being headmaster's daughter. I went to my room and found Suki getting dressed for breakfast.
"Where have you been, CJ?" asked Suki.
"N-Nowhere" I said with a hesitation.
"CJ, please, tell me the truth" Suki pleaded to me.
I sighed and looked at suki with a face and the turned around and tried to change the subject by saying, "maybe we should go meet Ian and Gabe at breakfast".
"CJ... Oh my gosh you were at your dad's office, weren't you" Suki asked.
"What happened" She continued.
"Just never mind" I said.
"I'll meet you in the cafeteria for breakfast. Bye Suki."
I walked to my father's office, or should I say my mothers office. When I got there, it was a video camera facing a chair. I was wondering why did I have to tell the school that she is going to be our headmaster for the weekend. I thought about it while my mom was setting up the camera and it hit me. What if dad wasn't just away for the weekend; what if he was going to be gone for a while... A long while.
"How long is dad going to be gone" I asked.
"Why do you need to know" Mom said.
"Because I am his daughter" I exclaimed.
"Oh.. very well" Mom said.
"The board thinks he's not a strict enough headmaster of Tower Prep. So they put me in charge."
"You can't be in charge. Do they know what you would do to this school?" I asked.
"And what is it that you think I will do to this school?" Mom said.
"You will turn this school upside down and will never let us go home" I replied.
"What do you intend to do about it young lady?" Mom questioned me.
"What I intend to do is to fight against you to make the school what it's supposed to be." I said, in astonishment to myself.
I never knew I had it in me to speak up to my mom. Her face was so shocked and angry. I just can't believe it, I mean I've talked back to my dad that way, but my mom is much more frightning.
"Y- young lady if you t- talk to me like that one more time your going to regret it" Mom said.
"Huuuuuuuaaaaaahhhhhhh" I yelled.
I stormed out of the room and slamed the door behind me. My mom just made me so mad. She will make us her slaves and will never let us go home from Tower Prep. I will fight for our escape from the school. While I was thinking it occured to me that I didn't announce the news to the school of mom being the headmaster. Hopefully Ian, Suki, and Gabe don't remember.
Later...
I got to the lunch room just in time to see my mom a tv screen. I saw Suki, Ian, and Gabe at a table watching the television screen. They looked mezmerized. Now that I see it everybody looks mezmerized. I forgot my mom has hypersuasion. They look so mezmerized, because my mom is hypersuading them from the tv screen.
"This weekend I am your headmaster" Mom said.
"As far as I know I might even be your headmaster for longer than a week" she said, with a seducing voice.
"Now you all will be good boys and girls and will be on your best behavior. "Also you all erase any memory of plans to escape and anything that deals with secrets of Tower Prep. Dismissed" Mom replied.
I walked across the room and went over to my friends' table. I tried to snap them out of the hypnotism. None of them snaped out. The only one that snaped out of the trance was Gabe because he can hypersuade.
"We have to get out of here" I said"
"Wha- What happened?" Gabe asked.
"I'll explain later, but right now we have to get out of here".
Me and Gabe left the room and hurried to the tunnels.
