You know what I love about the Gallagher Academy? We get to sleep more, eat gourmet food, and best of all I get to see my Gallagher Girl and its only my first day. Today was our first day in class, so after breakfast Dr. Steve kept Grant, Jonas and me back. "Boys, follow me."
As we walked with Dr. Steve was talking with us " Excellent! You boys will start each day after breakfast with COW. From there you will receive guides to show you to your next class and around the school." Oh god please, PLEASE let Cammie be in COW.
I hoped all my hoping worked, as Dr. Steve arrived before the classroom. "Knock, knock." and just like that our accident prone headmaster pushed open the door. "Good morning, ladies," I found Cam and boy she didn't look happy. Sorry Gallagher Girl, but at some point in time your going to love the fact that I'm around. Just like the way I feel when I'm in the same room as you.
"Can I help you, Dr. Sanders?" the COW teacher asked, who I now know to be Mr. Smith. "I say, your voice sounds so familiar. Dar Steve mentioned as he put his finger in the air. "Have we met before?" Okay I'm 100% sure that even if Mr. Smith knew Dr. Steve from the past he wouldn't say yes to that question, after all he used to be a spy. "No, I'm quite sure we haven't." Mr. Smith replied coolly. "Never did any work at the Andover Institute, did you?" "No" and with that Mr Smith returned to the bored as if his lecture had been delayed long enough.
"Oh well," Dr. Steve said with a laugh. He then pointed to us. "Shall we have the boys introduce themselves?" "I have learned, Dr. Sanders-" "Steve" Dr. Steve corrected, but Mr. Smith still carried on, not even pausing to take a breath. "-that ours is an occupation where names are-at best- temporary," Mr. Smith finished. "But if they must. . ." Mr. Smith rolled his eyes and sat down at the corner of his desk and observed us and our every move.
Jonas stepped forward first, "Um. . . I'm Jonas," he shifted from foot to foot as he continued, " I'm sixteen. I'm a sophomore-" "Thus your enrollment in this class," Mr. Smith said dryly,"Welcome, Jonas. Please have a seat." "Excellent job, Jonas" Dr. Steve said ignoring Mr. Smith, who had started handing out a pop quiz. "Excellent job. Now, Jonas here is in the research and development track of study. I don't suppose any of you young ladies could show Jonas around?"
"Humph!" A dainty blond girl had exclaimed, I believe her name was Liz from what Cammie called her. "Excellent!" Dr. Steve said again. "Jonas you can spend the day with Ms. . . ." Dr. Steve looked at girl. "Sutton. Liz. Sutton." "Excellent," Dr. Steve mentioned one more time before Grant went. "Now, Grant, if you would-" "I'm Grant." he slid in the seat right next to Rebbecca or "British Bombshell" as Grant liked to call her. She tossed her hair and smiled at Grant.
I didn't wait for Dr. Steve, "I'm Zach," I announced, sliding into the chair behind Grant and the one right next to my Gallagher Girl "and I think I've found my guide."
