Chapter 15
Cammie's POV
I laughed as I followed Bex and Chloe out of the gym with the other behind us. Chloe soon lead Macey and I to a small sound proof room and we sat down. In front of us was a large screen and Chloe was sat in the corner with a bunch of papers.
"Right, basically there are 6 categories and you have 2 questions in each, so the test is out of 12, some questions will be on the screen, some I will read to you, are you ready?" We nodded and she began looking down at her papers.
"First category: Worldwide Culture, question one," She started professionally. "Which country has the highest rate of Buddhists?"
I looked at Macey, "Well, it'll be a South East Asian country like Thailand or Cambodia or Myanmar." She stated.
"I'm pretty sure its Thailand, my Dad had a mission in Thailand and he had to be Buddhist to blend in because practically everyone there is a Buddhist! He had one of those togo things and everything it was awesome!" I said trying not to seem to prejudice or stereotypical! "Thailand." I told Chloe.
She smiled, "Correct, the second question is, which country is mainly influenced by the Iberian culture?"
We both grinned, "Nicaragua." Thank the lord for Mr. Smith in COW and Madame Dabney in C&A!
"Yes, that's right, now Geographical Knowledge, look at the screen and it will show a map of a continent without country borders on it, I need you to name the continent, capital city marked and its country:"
We looked up at the screen, it was obviously a map of Africa but it was zoomed in to the western side to try to disguise it. I looked closely imagining the country boarders for myself. I heard Macey say, "I'm pretty sure it's in Gambia, but it may be Senegal."
"Well, I reckon its Banjul, Gambia because Dakar, Senegal is further out into the ocean."
"Okay," Macey said then addressing Chloe, "Banjul, Gambia."
"Right again. And the next map, same task:"
"Well, it's Eastern Europe, either Slovenia or Slovakia, I get them mixed up." Macey sighed as if small Eastern European countries generally bored her.
"Well, I it's on the coast and I think Slovakia is the in land one, you know it used to be Czechoslovakia before they split up."
"Oh yeah, so it'll be Slovenia, Ljubljana"
"Right, now it's languages, emrin e gjuhës që unë jam duke folur" She spoke fluently.
I was stumped, I turned to Macey "I don't even now what the question is…!" I said but Macey gave me a look, "Don't you take extra credit Albania?" (A/N WHO READ DOUBLE CROSSED!) She said scathingly but then rolled her eyes and grinned.
"You said, name the language I'm speaking in Albania."
"Chloe smirked at our conversation before nodding and then saying, "wapi wanaongea lugha hii na ni nini?"
This one was easy, 'Where do they speak this language and what is it?' in Swahili. The only problem is, Swahili is spoken in loads of places! I glanced at Macey; she just raised an eyebrow saying, 'your turn!' with her eyes. I sighed and hoped for the best, then began.
"You are speaking Swahili and it is the official language of Tanzania and Kenya but is also spoken in: Uganda, Rwanda, Comoros, Oman, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the United Arab Emirates, Burundi, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, and Central African Republic."
"Yep, correct. You got them all." Chloe said ticking casually as if it was an easy question!
"Okay, now moving onto etiquette, when hosting a dinner with three Lords, two Dukes, five Knights, two Lady's and a Priest, who would sit in the sixth seat from the head if the host was sat at the very head of the table." I looked blankly wishing for the first time I had paid better attention when Madam Dabney recited table arrangements to us. But before I could confer with Macey she said in a bored voice, "The most important Duke."
"Yes and where would a platinum fish fork be placed?" This time the question was directed straight to Macey.
"either third or fourth on the left depending on whether there is a thick and a thin soup course or just one soup course." Macey said sensing the challenge.
I rolled my eyes and felt sorry for the fact that she had to know that!
"Okay! Next round, Disguises. On the screen you will see a face, you have 2 seconds to memorize it then the screen will show 6 faces and you have to name the face you previously saw, but they will be in disguise."
The screen showed a man with 2 days of stubble, an average nose and a large forehead. I tried to focus on the things he wouldn't be able to change and it worked a treat as I immediately saw him in disguise. "Picture 4" I said confidently.
"Good, and the next one:"
This time the screen showed a woman with a large nose and full lips. The image flashed and immediately Macey said in disgust "Number 2, I would recognize that nose anywhere." I raised an eyebrow but let it slide!
"I know right!" Chloe exclaimed, "I keep telling them that one is too easy! Anyway, finally, covert operations, lets see how well you notice things…How many papers are in the pile I'm holding?"
"7" I replied easily. She nodded curtly. "And how many hidden passageways are in this room. I did a quick double check before answering, "2"
"Wrong, there's only 1" Chloe said slightly triumphantly I might add. Once again I raised an eyebrow, I walked over to the corner and flicked a switch under the skirting board and the corner slid open revealing a door way.
"Yeah, 1" Chloe said in a 'no-duh' voice. I then walked over to the wall above her head and pushed the bricks in a pattern from lightest to darkest and they pushed back to reveal a tunnel.
"Now, I don't know about you, but I wanna know where that goes." I felt eyes and saw Thomas had stepped into the room as I said it. He nodded and then I climbed in, pavement artist to pavement artist, neither of us could resist…
please review and then i'll try update next week end! i know its ages!
