"Cammie! Cammie!", her best friend, Bex, yelled. "Did you hear what Soloman just said?"
"No," Cammie said sarcastically. She shoved her gently. "Of course I did Bex!"
"He said something about a black thorn or a Blackthorne or a Blackthorn! What do you think it means?" She replied just as eagerly.
"Look, I don't really remember, but I can recall something about my dad going there. I don't know what it was for, but he went there." Cammie replied, and started heading for their room. "Let's hang out in our room, and I'll see if I can remember anything."
They headed upstairs, seeing as the last lesson of the day was over. Macey had already planted herself in her bed, practicing different techniques to hide a scar, and Liz was easily hacking into the FBI.
"You'd think they would make their firewalls just a bit stronger," Liz said, shaking her head sadly.
"One day they will Lizzie," Cammie said, giving her a hug. "Anyway girls, Bex and I heard Mr. Solomon and my mom talking about visiting a Blackthorn. Liz, do you think you can hack something and see where and what it is? One of us should go see if Tina knows something too. Sometimes even she can have true information."
"Aye aye Captain Cammie," Macey and Liz said, and went off to do their duties.
"What am I gonna do Cam?" Bex asked, sitting on her bed.
"We're going to distract my mom and see if we can find anything on Blackthorne. You are going to have to get her out of her office while I search it. If you can pretend something happened, that would be ideal. I'll meet you at the room once I'm done. It should take about 10 minutes tops, okay?" Cammie relayed the information to Bex, and then they both set off for headmistress Morgan's office.
"Ready Cam?" Bex asked.
"Of course I am," Cammie said. "On three."
Cammie counted down and then Bex began her distraction. How she got a hold of a chicken, we may never know. What we do know is that it got Cammie's mom out of her office. Cammie then began her search. She checked underneath the microwave, which still smelled bad from last nights' dinner. As she continued searching, her hand brushed against a file. Or something like it anyway. Cammie grabbed it and immediately opened it. She quickly scanned all the contents, pausing only when she looked at the greenest eyes she'd ever seen. They belonged to a certain Zachary Goode, someone who attended "Blackthorne". After staring for a good 10 seconds, she quickly looked on and found out about flight plans for later this week. She closed the folder, everything memorized, and headed out to find Bex after returning it to its spot.
"OI BEX!" Cammie yelled, and ran through the Great Hall to grab her.
"Sorry Mom, it seems as though Bex lost her science experiment." That was an understatement. The chicken was everywhere, running around and squawking.
"As much as I would love to stay, Bex and I have homework to finish for Professor Buckingham, Ok love you bye!" Cammie said, and then followed Bex through the hallways into their suite.
As Bex and Cammie hurriedly escaped Headmistress Morgans' wrath, they reached the suite at the same time as the other girls.
"Hurry!" Cam yelled. "I have sensitive information!"
The girls rushed into the suite and locked the door behind them. After doing a bug sweep, (you can never be to careful) they sat down in the middle of the room.
Cammie started saying all the information she got from the file. "It said that we had flights to a certain 'Blackthorne Institute for Boys' this week. The file didn't say what day, so we have to be prepared. But we're staying for the rest of the year, and maybe more depending on how the two schools get along. The school is modeled like ours , except that it's in Maine! We each have a guide, and I know who they are!"
Cammie had to take deep breaths after spurting all of the information she had. The other girls absorbed it for a minute, and than began to react.
"Who's our guides?" "THERE“S A BOYS' SCHOOL?" "Wait...are they cute?"
That last one was from Macey. Cammie thought back to the bright green eyes and dark brown hair.
"Whatcha thinkin' bout Cam?" Bex said. "Is there something we should know about our guides?"
Cammie smirked. "Just the fact that they are four of the hottest guys I've seen. And, it doesn't hurt that we're spending the rest of the year there!"
