I think I have put to much on Sammie meeting everyone, but I hope you like it.

And yes, I did just upload three chapters in a row. xD


As soon as the girls were in the bathroom, Kerry and Gabrielle started giggling.

"How funny were Connor and Callum?" Gabrielle said, "And Bruce"

"I fell really bad about James," Sammie said, "Is he ok?"

"Don't worry, he has a bad temper, he'll be over it when we get back" Kerry said reassuringly, "He always does this"

"Oh my god, Bruce was like," Gabrielle was having another fit of giggles and started doing a bad imitation of Bruce, "Lay one finger one her, I dare you."

"Don't be mean, that was really sweet. James looked like he wanted to killed me."

"Oh god. You don't like Bruce do you?" Kerry was worried, "Sammie, he sleeps with a teddy bear."

"No, I just think it's cute," Sammie said defensively and then changed the subject, "Does he really sleep with a teddy?"


The night was great after that. When the girls returned to the table, everything was fine again. Callum and Connor were pathetically trying to flirt with Sammie. Everyone thought this was hilarious. Sammie thought it was cute, but if it kept going all week, she would definitely start getting annoyed.

When Sammie got back to her room, she saw a note had been slipped under her door.

You will be briefed on you mission and training tomorrow morning at 1400 hours. Please come to mission control with Lauren Adams.

Sammie was lying in her bed and thought about the things she would miss when she was a CHERUB. There wasn't much, the easy school work and her gymnastics were the main things. The was a lot she wouldn't miss; the constant yelling from her family, being told to do everything, being told she was wrong, having no friends, having no one to talk to, no one who looked out for her. She fell asleep thinking about how much better off she would be at CHERUB.


The next morning, Sammie was woken up by the sound of people moving around in the corridors, they were probably on their way to lessons. Sammie had just gotten out of bed and was sorting out the few clothes she had on her bed when she heard a knock at her door.

"Come in," she said, wondering who it would be. Kerry and Gabrielle had lessons. The door opened and a girl who was looked younger then Sammie.

"Hey, I'm Lauren Adams. We're going on a mission together. You're Sammie, right?"

"Yeah, you're James' sister, hey. I thought we weren't being briefed until two."

"We aren't but I'm meant to be on the mission, but I can't do anything much on it anymore, so they pulled me back to campus when I found you, so I got excused from lessons, I figured you'd be the same so I thought we could hang out and I could show you round campus or something."

"That sounds cool, I forgot where my room was yesterday," Sammie said, "I've just got to get dressed, then we could go round for a bit."

"Ok, um... do you want me to," Lauren looked out to the hallway, "wait outside?"

Sammie realised what she meant, "No, it's ok, but if you want to you can."

"Sure, do you mind if I have a bottle of water out of your fridge?"

"No, help yourself," Lauren thanked her and got one out. Sammie picked up her gold Cherub shirt and remembered last night, "Lauren, do we have to wear our CHERUB uniforms all day?"

"Pretty much. You can get spare shirts down in the uniform shop, near the canteen, but I'm sure if they stock your colour," Lauren smiled.

Sammie laughed, "I don't think they would," But as she opened up her cupboard she realised she didn't need to worry, there were three extra gold CHERUB shirts hanging up for her. She pulled them out and held them up, "Do they always do this?"

"What?" Lauren asked, "Hand out gold shirts? No, not too often"

Sammie laughed, Lauren was funny, "No, sneak stuff into your room. I didn't even know these were here."

"Yeah, they do it heaps. Nobody knows who actually does it; it's like CHERUB's version of the tooth fairy."

Sammie got dressed and she and Lauren went down to level one, "I forgot to say this, but I'm sorry about my brother last night. He is not good with jokes toward him"

"Lauren, you don't have to apologize for him, I went overboard on it."

"What was the joke even about? Kyle thought it was pretty funny"

"Kyle was the only one who knew the full story besides James. I told James my name"

Lauren was confused, "You name? That's all? Sammie?"

"I told him my name was Samantha Jennings"

Lauren burst out laughing. They had just come into reception and were passing by the front desk. The lady behind shushed them but Lauren couldn't help it. She tried to ask how Sammie knew about Samantha but couldn't get out the whole sentence. Sammie told her about how they went to the same school.

They walked out of reception and Sammie saw a row of gold buggies lined up. There was also a sign saying that read 'Any agent found driving recklessly will be punished.' Sammie followed Lauren as she sat in the front seat of the first buggy. She sat next to Lauren and they drove off. Lauren told her how the building they were just in was the room with everyone's bedrooms in it, except the juniors. Sammie was shown swimming pools, ovals and a few shortcuts, including a very good one to the dojo. As they drove past the dojo, a class of red shirts were walking out. They were all staring, mouths gaping, at Sammie.

Lauren laughed, "We've got ourselves a superstar."

"I don't like this one bit," Sammie stated.

"You'd better get used to it, it is going to play a big role in your mission" Lauren knew she said too much.

"What? Superstar? What are you talking about?" Lauren mimed zipping her lip shut and threw away the invisible key.

"I know one way to make you open your mouth," Sammie said. Lauren shook her head. Sammie grinned, "Hello James, my name is Samantha Jennings."

Lauren couldn't help it, she burst out laughing, "You'll find out about it in the briefing anyway, but in the meantime, why don't I show you the uniform shop and I'll buy you a CHERUB jumper that counts a uniform?"

"Okay, but I don't have any money, so I'll pay you back when I do," Sammie was glad she could avoid some of the stares.

Lauren brought a grey hooded jumper for Sammie and as Sammie slid it on she felt relieved. She could blend into the crowed of dark CHERUB shirts now. The last stop on their tour was the classrooms. As they walked past, Lauren said the subject each classroom taught. The students were too busy working to look up.

As they passed one of the maths classrooms, Connor and Callum saw Sammie and waved frantically. She gave them a small smile and kept walking. Before the classroom was behind them, she heard the teacher yelling,
"50 PUNISHMENT LAPS FOR BOTH OF YOU! GET BACK TO WORK!"

Lauren giggled, "Those two go crazy for any girl that isn't taken"

Sammie smiled uneasily, "Are all the teachers like that? Giving you punishments if you look out the window?"

"Not all of them, Callum and Connor were just unlucky and got a mean one." They were nearly at the end of the row of classrooms when Lauren said, "Look, there's Kerry."

Kerry was in a classroom full of red shirted kids, she was helping to teach them Japanese. Kerry saw them and smiled, before turning back to the 9 year old in front of her.

"So, that's basically it. Want to go to lunch?" Lauren asked.


Rate and Review please!

Mission briefing should be in the next chapter, but Im not making any promises.

In your reviews, if you have any ideas, what is Sammie's mission about?
It involves her singing, and her getting a lot of attention...

What do you think?
