Chapter Two
Rose's POV
We had all heard about the four new transfer students, but I was the only one assigned to be their 'tour-guide'. None of us were sure about anything to do with these new girls, although we had been told one thing; they were from a snooty all-girls school in Virginia, America. One of the girls coming was the headmistress' daughter, Cameron, and her three friends, one of which was the Vice President McHenry's daughter, Macey.
The weirdest thing of all though was the rumour that they were staying with the Baxter's, as in the M.I.6 Baxter's. They probably weren't though.
"Rose Gupta! They're here." Mr. Flatley and Mrs. King said at the same time. They led me outside to where a tall, handsome man and four bewildered-looking girls were standing.
"Rose, this is Cameron Morgan, Macey McHenry, Elizabeth Sutton, Rebecca Baxter and their teacher, Joe Solomon. Please treat them well." Mrs. King introduced us. I took note of the one on the end, with dark brown hair. Her surname was Baxter. Maybe the rumours were true.
"Hi! I'm Rose Gupta. Welcome to St Hope's." I said cheerfully. The girls just looked very cautions and they looked up at their teacher. He nodded his approval.
"Hey. My name's Cameron Morgan, but people call me Cammie or Cam." A heavily accented, pale brunette said, stepping forward.
"I'm Rebecca Baxter, but you'll call me Bex if you know what's good for you." The Baxter girl said, in turn, stepping forward, her voice very English for an American.
"My name's Elizabeth Sutton, but please call me Liz" a girl with a blonde bob said.
"Macey McHenry. Mace or Macey" the last girl said. She was the complete opposite of what I thought she would look like, with a diamond nose stud, high-laced combat boots and an evil expression. Apparently, she could not string together a full sentence.
"Cool. Umm... this way... are you really staying with the Baxter's? As in the M.I.6 Baxter's?" I blurted out.
"...No... We're staying with Bex and her parents. They're pharmacists." Cameron said slowly, as if I was a bit crazy. She must've been telling the truth because the truth ring didn't vibrate.
"Oh, so that's why you sound English then, Rebec – Bex" I stopped myself just in time with a warning glance from Macey.
We were walking along the corridor to get to English when my pencil started beeping and flashing. Crumbs, now was not a good time for me to have to go down to HQ.
"Oh... what's that? Neat pencil, Gupta!" Cameron exclaimed. I froze with fear.
"She's paying you a compliment" Elizabeth whispered to me before turning a 360 on her heel.
"Oh, err, thanks. Um... I've got to go now; will you four be alright finding your own way to English?" I asked, since their teacher had left at the school gates.
"Can't we come with you?" Cameron asked.
"Err, no Cameron, you can't. It's very important stuff." I replied.
"Firstly, my name is Cammie, second, why not and third, we have more important stuff to do but we're still here" Cammie said, her voice now completely serious and menacing. I knew I had no choice.
"Oh, look! It's Mr. Solomon!" I said in a last effort to ditch them. It worked. I ran off towards the store cupboard and away from them.
