Mia's POV

Ok, what on earth am I going to do??? My grandmother is sending me away! Well, that's not the total truth, but still, what is WRONG with her! Let me explain. Grandmere called us is. I was delighted to see Michael, but my spirits were soon damped by a beautiful face next to him, right, it was Jade. That but befor I could worry about it Grandmere came in and shut us all up by lanching a long speech:

"Children, you might have noticed that you are undergoing certain mood swings lately. Though this might be all related to puberty, it could well be related to the malaria pills you have been given over the last two weeks. I hope you will forgive me for this, it was for your own good. You will all be going on a small trip for a month. I have arranged it with school so you won't have to worry about anything. Right, to get to the point. This is a trip to the middle of nowhere, somewhere in Africa. You will be travelling together and will be met by some students from all over the world. You will not be treated like princesses, since noone, I repeat, NOONE is to know your true identity. Michael is going to help you settle in, and because Lilly is sick I couldn't send her with you he is the one that knows you best Mia. Am I making any sense? Well then, you will leave tonight and receive details on the plane, I hope you enjoy. Pack light but pack for a month. Bring soap to do your own washing and all the other stuff you might need on a trip in the wild."

Then she turned around and left us behind, puzzeld and abit scared to be honest. We then all realized we had just three hours to pack and split up. I'm in the limo at the the moment, Lars won't say a word, that guy only opens his mouth when you don't want him to. All he did say, was that he was looking forward to his ski vacation. I take it he's not coming.

Lucky him.

~in the plane~

As Grandmere had told us we received all the information as soon as the plane was in the air. Jade is sitting next to me, what on earth am I going to do when Michael and her start going out?!? I'm never going to survive this trip. And there's only 15 of us going. I stuck all the information in here.

~the AFRICA experience~

You are about to start a great, month long adventure with all different kinds of people. You may be wondering why you are on this trip. This will mature you, provide you with understanding and broaden your horizons. ENJOY!

The people coming: There will be 15 people coming along on this trip, most of whom you won''t know. Vanessa Coonley (f) Kayla Trinley (f) Chris Mortaone (m) Kim Linne (f) David Grinat (f) Michael Moscovitz (m) Mia Termopolis (f) Jade Starnate (f) Daniel Mullholland (m) Hailey Turner (f) Ashley Turner (f) Nick Yewop (m) Matthew Connor (m) Zoey Metzuten (f) Brittany Sydney Rilleyneed (f)

Hope you all have the time of your life! And don't forget to take your malaria pills! GOOD LUCK.

Well, I wonder what THIS is going to be.

~ while Mia was writing this, also feeling relieved Grandmere didn't sign her up with the name Amelia, she didn't notice how Jade turned white and slowly fainted. Michael saw and he turned around just time to catch her. He knew what it was all about.
