A/N: Okay, so I got a guest review telling me to update. I looked at the dates and realized, its been FOREVER since I updated this story! Thanks to that anonymous reviewer!
At lunch, Mariana and Caireen decided to sit with Caleb and Marc.
"So, where are you from?" Caleb asked Mariana.
"Well, I was born in Canada, but I moved to Maine when I was 9. So, I've basically spent the last 4 years in America, though I miss Canada. What about you?" Mariana asked.
"Australia," Caleb said.
"Hey, Caireen, which couple is cuter, Mar and Cay or Professor Pike and Ms. Leon?" Marc asked Caireen.
"Hey, Mariana and Caleb are too adorable to resist, haven't we already had this conversation?" Caireen said, laughing.
"Just shut up, we're have a conversation," Caleb said, almost sounding serious.
"Hey Marc, you know what I think?" Mariana asked.
"What?" Marc asked.
"That you like Caireen," Mariana said, an evil smile on her face.
"What?! NO!" Marc said, his face turning red. Dark red. Caireen giggled a bit.
"Now you know how Caleb and I feel," Mariana said, still holding her smile.
"Caireen and I only met, what, 2 or 3 hours ago?" Marc asked.
"Same with us," Mariana said.
"Hey, no one has crushes on anyone, we're just a boss escape team." Caireen said. Mariana shot Caireen a look that read 'you weren't supposed to tell anyone!'
"Wait, you guys want to escape too?" Caleb said, making his voice as low as possible. Mariana and Caireen nodded slightly.
"Come to our room, tonight, after classes and dinner, I think we need to talk." Caleb said, very quietly, his expression serious. The girls nodded, then continued eating.

Later that night, Caireen and Mariana went to Caleb and Marc's room as asked to.
"We've actually put together a plan in the 48 hours we've been here," Marc said, showing the girls the sheets of paper he and Caleb had been drawing on.
"Doesn't seem bad. Just one question. What about the guards?" Mariana asked.
"We'll get past them," Marc said, sounding sure of himself.
"Somehow," Caireen added loudly. She and Marc laughed hysterically.
"Whats with your sense of humor, its like, a whales forehead," Mariana said.
"Or maybe its the continent of Antartica," Caleb said.
"Hmm, I'm thinking more like the planet of Jupiter,"
"Or maybe even the sun!"
"You guys aren't funny," Caireen said to Caleb and Mariana.
"Wait, you can laugh at someone saying somehow but not how your sense of humor fills the sun?" Mariana asked.
"Okay, that was actually a pretty good joke, Caleb, and hey, we're just gonna walk right past the guards, it'll totally work, I mean, if you've got me around of course," Caireen said. Marc laughed.
"Yea, and thats why they never use their sleepers," Caleb said. Caireen and Marc laughed at this.
"So, how do we even get out of our rooms at night?" Mariana asked.
"The way I've got it figured is we leave our black boxes deactivated in our rooms, then we just go hide in a classroom, then they'll shut the doors and we'll already be out," Caleb said.
"Sounds risky, but I think its a risk we're going to need to take," Mariana said.

The Stealth and Evasion room was quiet, as everyone was reading out of the textbook. Ms. Leon was sitting on her desk, tapping on a monitor.
"Caireen," Mariana whispered, tapping Caireen on the arm. Caireen looked over.
"Yes?" She whispered back.
"I'm bored," Mariana whispered.
"Cool, I don't wanna get yelled at," Caireen whispered back.
"I can hear everything you girls are saying, get to work," Ms. Leon said.
Mariana pulled out a scrap piece of paper, and wrote:
If we can't talk, we might as well just pass notes.
She passed to Caireen. Caireen read it. She then wrote.
We're going to get in so much trouble. Lets do it!
And passed it to Mariana.
