Chapter 7 Discoveries
Mia's POV
We decide to wake Rianna up to tell her the story and I go through the secret passage ways that I know so well to get Doug out of bed so we can fill him in on everything too. As I'm creeping along the passage that before this I had thought I was the only one that knew about well me and my friend who I'd shown.
"well your quick to find the passage way" I say to the strangers short brown hair as they turn to look at me I'm taken aback it's Kat Bishop the "Uncommon Criminal" of our time! It doesn't take long for me to put the rest of the Pieces together. I've seen those eyes before! I know that freckle, those manicured finger nails! I can't believe it Mascot is Kat. Kat bishop is mascot!
" your mascot!" I blurt out before I can stop myself
" umm who's mascot" Kat ask seemingly confused
"the imposter," she still looks slightly confused so I continue "you're the fake Mr. Rooney!"
"Oh that's what your on about!"she says understanding
"so if your Mascot then this opportunity to do field work with you isn't a scam?"
"No…Does anyone else no about me?"Kat asks hoping her cover isn't completely blown
"Well I told my roommate Ella that there is an imposter and just now she thinks I'm going to get our other best friend Doug so that we can tell him and our other roomy together I say slightly sheepish "oh and I almost forgot…"I trail off when I realize that she knows the other person who's in the loop "who's Henry really?"I ask
"now I can't tell you all the secrets!"she says laughing at some sort of inside joke and then I realize who it must be
"I t Hale isn't it! OMG! It is!"
"that you'll have to figure out for sure yourself I gotta go deal with some business now congratulations on recognizing my disguise you'll be a great uncommon criminal" she says over her shoulder already leaving but then she stops seeming to remember something important "oh and don't tell anyone who I am or what's going on" Kat says "it'd ruin all the fun!"
It's only once she's gone that I realize my dilemma how can I keep Rianna and Doug from knowing what is going on without making Ella suspicious. There seems only one option and I don't like it at all.
I creep back into my room with four cupcakes and tell Ella that Doug's on his way and to wait till he gets here to wake Ri up. She seems confused but lets it go and accepts the cupcake I offer her greatfully as I knew she would it's a massive weakness of hers.
"this cupcake looks delicious!"she says and takes a bite its not long until she's finished it
"There good aren't they" I say knowing its only a matter of seconds
she yawns tiredly and out like a light after 5 seconds I feel terrible for giving her the dream serum Cringing as I think of the conversations she'll start tomorrow about her weird dream where I told her Mr. Malaney (a.k.a Kat ) was an imposter. Then thinking of the look she'll have on her face when it's revealed that Kat was undercover here and no doubt will put two and two together realizing what I did to her.
Henry's POV
"Mia Knows who we are!" Kat says rushing into my room
"Wha…?" I say waking up
"She was in the passage way saw me and put two and two together" she says sounding slightly exasperated that our cover is blown
"It's alright Kat" I say grabbing her into a hug to calm her down
"Hale it's my fault. Do you know if she's a gossip?"
"Sssshhh its fine if you told her not to tell anyone she won't it's what we do…. Now what's really bothering you?"
she sighs "they all expect me to be so fantastic and I'm not….. I just don't want to disappoint them" I turn her to look me square in the eyes before I continue
"Kat you are brilliant! And you could never disappoint them if you tried! One person figured out who we are it doesn't matter we both decided not to go full on for this assignment to see if any of them were good enough to see through our façade and one did it just means that choosing who to take will be a little easier " then pull her into another tight bear hug kissing her hair lightly
"thanks Hale just her finding out shook me a bit " she says kissing me lightly on my lips before pulling me back into bed. We fell asleep in each others arms and all I could think was how lucky I was to have such an amazing girlfriend.
Kat's POV
I awake in Hales arms and smile before cursing because I can't be caught leaving his room especially as me! It's 7am I have a meeting with Headmistress Malaney in half an hour but how am I going to get back to my room to put my disguise back on so I'm free to roam the halls again. I grab one of hales hoodies put it on while deciding my route. Waking Hale when I move out of his arms he smiles up at me then seeing my tense face realizing my dilemma helps me to form a plan.
Mia's POV
I was the first to wake up and decided to go have a shower early taking advantage of the time to think before Ella woke up. Also I had to make sure I didn't smell like the secret passage way so as not to give away that it was more than a dream.
