IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE BOTTOM!

Chapter 8: It doesn't have to end…

Meg's POV

On the ride back to school, all the girls could talk about was how it was good to finally get back at the Blackthorne Boys after so many years.

"Did you see their faces?!" Howled Sam in laughter. "Priceless!"

I smiled. My mom motioned for me to go over to her, so without tripping over anyone, I made my way to the front of the helicopter.

"Great job sweetie. You're father is very proud. Nate and Blake are the best at Blackthorne."

"Thanks, Mom. It was easy, really. Is that like how it went when you and dad met?"

"Something like that…." She stared off into space then shook her head and looked at me. She smiled then turned to go back into the cockpit.

"What'd your mom want?" asked Madi. She and Sam were looking at me intently.

"She just wanted to congratulate us."

They shared a sinister smile then went back to talking.

What was that look on my mom's face? I wondered while looking out the helicopter window. What is she hiding?

…..

Nate's POV

"I can't believe we got beat by girls!" yelled Hayden in anger.

"Yeah!" agrees Blake. The other boys in the van agree too.

"We should get revenge…" says Hayden in a small, evil, plotting voice.

All the boys look at me. I smirk.

"Oh, we will…."

Meg's POV

We were sitting at dinner when my grandmother went up to the podium.

"Women of Gallagher Academy, who comes here?"

All girls stand up and reply.

"We are the sisters of Gillian."

"Why do you come?"

"To learn her skills, honor her sword, and keep her secrets."

"To what end will you work?"

"To the cause of justice and light."

"How long will you strive?"

"For all the days of our life."

"I have an announcement for you. The girls in the freshman Cove Ops class had the chance to meet the boys of Blackthorne Institute for Troubled Young Men. Great job girls for doing spectacular on your mission today. Now, a group of those men will be coming for an exchange. I expect you to befriend them and become allies. You may work with them in your future careers. That is all."

The cafeteria exploded into excited and surprised chatter, while Sam, Madi, Alexa and I shared evil smiles.

After dinner, we did our secret talk routine (towels under doors, bug sweeps, shower and fans on, etc.) then discussed what our evil smiles had told each other.

"Why does the revenge have to stop at beating the boys at tailing?" I ask in a suggestive way.

"It doesn't." replied Madi, her voice evil and plotting.

"Well then, what's the plan?" asks Alexa, an evil tone in her voice.

Madi, Sam, Alexa, and I look at each other.

Oh, this'll be good.

I know, I know. Rant at me, throw the rotten tomatoes. Are you done? Good. So here's chapter 8! Finally... Tell me how you liked it, what you want next in future chapters, etc. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! For those of you who enjoyed Secrets of the Woods by gymnast1150 and wanted a sequel, WISH GRANTED!
