Here we go. The start of the adventure.
Chapter 5
(Cammie's POV)
"Cam, wake up." Zach shook me slightly, I cracked my eyes open and saw Zach looking at me.
"What?" I mumbled.
"It's time to go, we're here." That was all that it took, I was up in a second. I glanced out the window and saw that it was raining; I was hoping it wasn't a bad omen.
Bex smiled, "Same old England. The sun never shines here!" She joked as she started to grab her stuff from the overhead compartment.
I'd been to England before, but never on a mission. I studied every book I could find on it, I knew that part of my cover was knowing popular hangouts, and major sites to see.
"Alright, everyone got their stuff?" The pilot asked, I wondered if he was one of us.
"Yes sir." I said politely.
"You're going to blow your cover if you're nice. Be mean. You think that you are better than everyone else, act like it." The pilot scolded. "I will be here to help you; I am Cameron's 'butler' so I can assist you in any major problems."
I felt better knowing that we would have a trained spy there with us to help. Just then, 3 huge limos pulled up. I gasped, wondering if that was really how we were going to get to school.
"You guys are rich; you need to arrive in style to give a good first impression." The pilot answered our unasked question.
Zach whistled, and grabbed his bag. He ran to the limo and hopped in, the limo started to pull away but then it stopped and Zach's window rolled down.
"Good luck!" He looked at me, "Keep safe." He rolled up his window and drove away.
"I guess it's our turn!" Bex grabbed her bag too, and gave me a hug. "You've got this under control. Be the spy I know that you are and we'll be out of here within a few days." She smiled and hopped into her limo.
"Keep safe." I whispered.
"I will!" She laughed back. I hadn't realized she could still hear me.
"Cameron, you're going to arrive last, hopefully attracting the most attention. Of course, the students will be in class but maybe it will help some."
Dang. I didn't really want all of the attention, but I didn't say anything; I just nodded. I also grabbed my bag and hopped into the limo, and our pilot slid into the driver's seat.
"My name is Jacob, by the way." He smiled and offered his hand for a shake.
"Madison." I said as I took his hand. Jake smiled; obviously happy I had stuck with my cover. I wondered if he would have scolded me again if I used my real name.
Jake and I chatted on our way to the school, but we stopped several times. We stopped for burgers, to do a little shopping, and to stop by a couple of the main sites in London. By the time we arrived at the school it was almost 8 o'clock and I'm sure that Zach and Bex had been here for several hours. I was excited to explore and start my mission but I knew that my role was to act as if I didn't care at all. When we pulled up I saw an older lady come to my door to meet me.
"You must be Madison," She beamed, "We're so excited to have you here." Her voice was one of those that made you want to fall asleep, no matter what you were doing.
I rolled my eyes, "Thanks."
"I'll show you to your room." She offered, I nodded and started to take my bags from the trunk but she stopped me. "We have people for that." She looked at me, confused wondering why I would offer to take my own bags.
"I would hope so." I replied, blowing off her questioning eyes.
She coughed, "Well, you're room is upstairs, one of the nicest in the whole building."
"I don't have a roommate right?" I asked.
"No! You have a single suite, isn't that what you asked for?" She questioned.
"Yes, it is." I replied simply. I wasn't doing so well, I was nervous and not acting like myself, or the person I was supposed to be.
"Are there any other people here?" I asked when I noticed all the halls were empty.
"Yes. Every student is in class right now… the classes here a rigorous so I was nervous about accepting you here… but I'm sure you'll make an excellent addition to our team. "She finished with another fake smile, I wondered how much my 'parents' paid her so that she would accept me. I was sure 'my' grades were not the best. We took an elevator up to the 7th floor, and stepped out. We walked to the end of the hallway and stopped in front of an oak door marked 712.
"Well this is it," She handed me a key card; "I have to go, but if there are any problems with the room… please let me know." She walked away briskly.
I opened my door, and I'm pretty sure I was speechless. It was the most beautiful room I have ever seen, when you first walked in there was a long hallway, at the end of that hallway was a living room, completed with a bookcase, TV, couch, beautiful view. I saw that I had a balcony, but I continued into the next room. It was a full kitchen! Everything was brand new, all the appliance where stainless steel and the countertops were granite. I didn't even know why we needed a kitchen; since I was pretty sure we had a cafeteria.
"Wow." I gasped as I opened the double door to reveal my bedroom. My bags were already waiting for me, laid on my king sized bed. I had no idea why anyone would need a bed that size… my mind wandered and I thought about Zach and me sharing the bed. I shook my head to snap out of it. I turned to the door on my right, and saw that it was a bathroom and just like everything else in the house it was beautiful.
I turned back into the kitchen and saw that there was a note on the countertop.
Dear Madison:
I hope everything is to your liking, if it is not please do not hesitate to let me know. This tablet has all of the information you need about the school including: your class schedule, a map, and rules. The map may help you some, but it will be easier for you to have an escort. I have arranged for Garret Miller, a student here, to show you to all of your classes. He will be there promptly at 9 AM tomorrow morning, please do not make him late. Tardiness will not be tolerated. Have a good night.
Please contact me if you have any questions,
Headmistress Pricket
I gasped, wondering how the CIA made that happen. Since I was meeting Garret tomorrow morning I figured that I should unpack and head to bed early, I needed all the beauty sleep I could get. I unpacked and placed all my clothes in order. I also picked out the outfit I was going to wear tomorrow, cute, preppy, expensive, but classy. I went to bed around 10.
(Zach's POV)
My limo driver and I rode to the school, arriving first. An older lady met us on the front steps and greeted me.
"You mustbe," She started,
"I'm Mason White; it's nice to meet you." I offered my hand to shake.
She shook it back, looking somewhat surprised.
She coughed, which I could tell was a nervous reaction.
"Well, I will show you your room now." She started up the steps, and even though she never mentioned it I assumed someone would take my luggage to my room. It was just now 2 o'clock, so I figured after she showed me my room I could look around some.
As we walked she was say random things like, "This is the library," "This is the cafeteria," "This is the lounge." Finally we reached the elevator; we rode to the 6th floor.
"The floors are every other, boys on the even, girls on the odd." She said, "Boys are allowed on girls floor, during the weekday until 9, but on the weekends there is no curfew as long as you wake up in your own room." She gave me a look. I wondered if I gave off the impression that I got a lot of ladies. Then again, that might just be the average for most of the rich, preppy, guys here.
"Thank you for letting me know." I replied.
"There is also a tablet in your room that has all of the information you could possibly need. Your class schedule, a map, though it is better if you find a person who will show you around, and a list of the rules. If you break the rules, you will get one warning because you are new… but after that you will be punished just like the other students. Claiming ignorance is not an option, since you have the list of rules and whether or not you choose to read it is up to you." She finished in a huff; obviously worried I would be a troublemaker.
"You won't see any problems out of me!" I replied sincerely, I couldn't afford to be expelled.
"Good." We reached the 6th floor and she took me to my room, room 612. She handed me my room key.
"I have other matters to attend to, please explore the building all you like. On week nights curfew is 12. Be in bed by that time." She turned to leave.
"Thank you!" I called after her.
I opened my door and the room was nicer than I expected. It came with a living room, full kitchen, bathroom, and a giant bedroom. The living room TV had an x-box, and I was excited about that. I would just play all night, but I knew I should do some recon before Bex and Cam got here.
I walked down my hallway and noticed that there were no students out; I guessed they must be in class right now. I went down to the 1st floor, where I could access the entire campus. As I walked down the hallway I noted all of the exits, along with my classroom locations, and places that looked like they could be popular hang outs. I saw a kid about my age down the hall. I greeted him with a head nod.
"Sup. You new?" He asked.
"Yeah, just got here today." I replied.
"Cool. My name's Alex. You?"
"Mason." I replied smoothly.
"What sports you play?" He asked, I was trying to stop myself from correcting his grammar, I was sure that wouldn't make me many friends.
"All of them. Soccer is my best." I answered.
"I'm on the soccer team, if you want to come hang with us later… we all meet in the Lounge at like 6. Come if you want." He offered, trying to sound nonchalant, but I could tell that he would look better among his friends he brought the new kid to them.
"Cool. I might, I got to see." I said noncommittally.
"I got to go to class now. Later." He waved as he walked back towards, I'm assuming, class.
I turned towards him and said, "See you later."
I wasn't sure if I should go, I did want to get in with the soccer players, but I didn't want to look desperate, and I definitely didn't want Alex to be more popular. If all soccer players were like him, I might kill myself before this mission was over. I continued to look around the school, locating all of my classes for tomorrow and getting a pretty good lay of the land. I was confident that if anything went wrong I would be able to find an exit.
I didn't run into anyone else, until about 5 when I saw Bex arrive.
I heard the Headmistress say, "That's a new student too. He just got here today."
Bex replied with a, "Wow, do all of your students look like that?" She gave me a wink and I blushed and looked at the ground. I knew she was just joking, but to say it in front of the Headmistress… I shot her a death glare, which she noticed and smiled.
I knew that the most contact we could do for the day, anything else would look suspicious so I headed back up to my room. I wanted to wait around till Cammie got here, but I had no idea when that would be and I didn't really have any reason to stay down there. I sat in my room and reviewed the rules, they were pretty basic things: get to class on time, no fighting, no cursing, no cell phones, curfew, and other normal things like that. I doubted that I would have any trouble following those rules, except maybe the curfew one.
I unpacked, and played some video games. At 5:30 I still hadn't decided if I was going to go or not… after I thought about it I decided that I wouldn't go. It's better to seem too good, then begging to join. I took a shower, and picked out my outfit for tomorrow. I knew it would be important to make a good first impression if I wanted to get in with the right crowd. I finished unpacking, then laid in bed and watched TV until I fell asleep at 9:04.
(Bex's POV)
I pulled into school at 5, and was greeted by who I'm presuming is the Headmistress.
"Hello, you must me Amber Lee." She smiled.
"Yes ma'am." I replied.
"Great! Well, I'm Headmistress Pricket and I am here to show you to your room."
We walked into the dorm building and I noticed Zach standing by the window. Pricket noticed me looking, and commented; "That's a new student too. He just got here today."
I smiled and said, "Wow, do all of your students look like that?" I winked at Zach, only half joking.
Pricket didn't laugh with me though, and I noticed Zach give me a glare. I turned back and smiled at him, doubting that Headmistress would even notice.
She showed me to my room, which was on floor 5.
She handed my room key, and then left. She had barley said two words since my comment about Zach.
"Thank you." I called after her.
She gave me forced smile, and nodded.
I opened my room and found everything to my liking. It was a very nice room: living room, kitchen, bedroom, huge bathroom. I found a note on my counter that said described what the tablet was for. I used the tablet and looked over my schedule and all the rules. They seemed easy enough to follow, except for the curfew thing… I was worried about that one.
I saw that it was just after 6. I decided to explore a little. I went out of my room and noticed that I was room 512. Then I headed down to the 1st floor. I looked around, noting all of the exits, and my classrooms. I had no doubt that I would be able to find them all tomorrow. I passed by a lounge area and saw a bunch of guys sitting on the couches; I decided to stop for a minute.
"Hey, I'm new here… and I was looking for the science room?" I had found it 20 minutes ago, but…
7 guys stood up to offer help. I laughed and looked to the cutest one, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said." I asked innocently.
Cute guy coughed, "I'm Jacob. And I would be happy to show you the science room." He shot his friends a glace, and walked over to the door where I stood.
"Here, its right this way." Jacob said with a smile. I knew that he must be from the states, and his southern accent was definitely only making him hotter. I followed him down the hallway to where I knew the science room was. I did also notice, however, that there were 4 other ways he could have taken that would have gotten us there a lot sooner.
Throughout the walk we chatted and got to know each other some. We reached the science room and I said a gracious thank you.
"No problem," He laughed, "It was really nice to meet you. I'd like to hang out again sometime?" He said with a hopeful smile.
I knew this was Zach's target, and I figured it couldn't hurt to have to two of us working on him. Also, he was really, really cute.
"That'd be great" I said with a smile.
"Excellent! What's your room number; I'll give you a call sometime." I told him, grateful that I had looked before leaving the room.
"Cool. I'll call you tomorrow." He started to walk away, "Oh! Can you find your way back to the room?" I didn't want to seem completely hopeless, so I laughed and told him that I thought I could.
He walked away and headed up to my room. Tomorrow I would have to find my target, but for now I was satisfied with Zach's.
I showered, and unpacked. I checked the clock it was almost 9, so I just watched some TV and fell asleep.
I knew tomorrow would be tough, first day of class and all, but I was also excited. Tomorrow had a lot of possibility, and I was determined not to waste it.
End of Chapter 6! I hope you guys liked it :)
Please review, let me know what you think!
Again, sorry it took so long to post! I won't let that happen again :D
