Howard flinched back in his seat, along with the rest of his work-mates. Their employer was yelling at them. He might not be the biggest, toughest guy, but he was a scary man. He had body guards that were huge, and was very tecnologicly smart. He would corrput everything they owned if he felt like it. So far they had only caught one spy, and he had kept other spy information secret, so they had killed him. The plan said they should have atleast caught 10 spies and gotten information on atleast 5 more. This had made their employer angry. After he finished, Howard and his work-mates got up, and started working harder than ever. The whole building looked like a kicked ant nest, with everyone running around and rushing into different rooms and talking to different people. It was utter chaos. The employer smiled. Utter chaos was what he liked.

I watched Matthew and Lizzy pair up and wondered, Who would want to be with me, the smart, silent chick? I felt a tap on my shoulder and I swung around with my arm extended to hit the person behind me, stopping a centimeter from his neck.
"Dead." I laughed. "Hey Evan. Wanna be my partner?" I asked, letting my hand drop.
"Yeah. Nice knife hand, by the way." He said smiling. A second too late I noticed his leg behind mine. He pulled my legs out from under me and I landed on the floor.
"Nice." I whispered, trying to fill my lungs with air. I kicked up, stopping inches from his crotch, then rolled and stood quickly.
"Paralyzed." I stuck my tongue out at Evan, smiling. I came back and spun around so we passed back to back and brought the back of my fist close to his head, while he pushed his elbow into my side, gently because we were doing "no contact" or close to that.

We continued to fight, getting praised by the teacher occasionally. When we finished in class, Evan and I walked over to where Matthew and Lizzy were.
"I love PE! Best class so far." I said, panting.
"Yeah." Lizzy agreed, gasping.
"Let's head to lunch. I'm starving! You're also a good fighter, Lizzy." Matthew said, walking towards the mansion to the dinning hall.
"Matt, aren't you always starving?" Evan asked, teasingly.
"Yeah, Matt! That's nothing new!" I laughed. Evan and Lizzy joined in.
"Yes. Now, let's get going." Matt replied.Then we started walking with him, to the back door of our school, to lunch.

In the morning Lizzy and I got up early, as we would all week. Weekends too sometimes, I thought, With a lot of homework we'll be getting up early every day. I hope Animals is fun. Maybe they'll take us out for field work! My brain continued as I got dressed.

Max, Tilly, Lizzy, and I walked down the grand staircase and into the dining hall. After we got our food we sat down and examined our schedules while the boys walked up with their dogs. "First is Countries of the World. I don't like that class." I sighed. "Then languages. I can pass that. I'll help you Liz, don't worry. Oh! Third is PE! I love Protection Education! We get to hit people!" I smiled at the thought. "Animals is fourth and etiquette is last. That's a full schedule!" I commented.
"I have the same schedule as you. Odd, but nice." Matthew said.
"I have PE and Animals with you guys. COW (countries of the world) second, etiquette first and languages last." Evan said, jealously looking at Matthew.
Matt and Lizzy talked about how Saturday had gone after Evan and I had left, while Evan and I listened. Finally we had to leave for first period and went our separate ways. In COW we reviewed from previous years learning and got a world map to fill in. The bell rang and we trouped to languages. On the door was a sign saying "Farsi". We began to talk in Farsi then. This was my hardest class because I had to talk in front of the class sometimes. I picked up languages fast and could speak them well and the teacher knew that. She called on me as little as possible because she knew I could do what she was asking. We have to write a page in Farsi about what we did over the summer. At least we don't have to read it to the class. Lizzy will need help with that. I thought to myself. Note to self: work tonight. Help her.
"PE is next! Fun!" I said. We walked to the double story barn that served as our gym.
"Alright." The PE teacher said. "Find a partner and we'll see how much you remember from the last years."

We walked up the stairs after dinner, and to our room with the boys leading us. "I think we should turn in early. We have the first day tomorrow!" I said when we reached our door.
"Oh.....Yeah....Ok...." Lizzy said, looking forlorn. "Guess I'll see you guys tomorrow then...."
"Night Gabby, night Lizzy." Matthew said, looking as forlorn as Lizzy.
"Night Matt, night Evan!" I replied waving.
"Night Lizzy." Evan said, tiredly. "Night Gabby."
The boys walked away and down the hall. "Time for bed. We'll probably have homework tomorrow. Want to study after classes in the library?" I asked Lizzy. I help tutor her so she gets all A's and maybe a few B's.
"Sure. I'll probably need help in all the subjects again. You don't mind, do you?" Lizzy asked me as we got into our pajama's.
"No I don't mind. I love helping you! I love it when you get good grades!" I told her, smiling sincerely.
"Thanks. My parents are so glad I get good grades. You're so nice! I bet you'd be really popular if you talked." Lizzy said, going to brush her teeth.
"Maybe. I wouldn't want to be though. I like you guys." I sat on my bed and read a book while she showered and finished in the bathroom before taking her place.
I sat on my bed while I combed my hair. I put the comb away and whistled for Max to hop up onto the bed with me. I snuggled under the covers and Max rested on top of the bed next to me. I hugged him close to me. "Night Lizzy! Sleep well and good luck tomorrow!"
"Alright. Thanks for your help. Sleep well too!"

Howard, and all the people around him, flinched away from the yelling man standing behind the podium. He was their leader and he was very angry. So far non of the group had managed to catch more than one spy all together. And he hadn't said a word. They had killed him without the whereabouts of any more spies. This job was harder than most of them had realized. It's worth it though! Howard told himself. Taking over the government and letting us rule. We will find more spies. We just need to work harder. The large man at the podium was still screaming. Finally he stopped, using a threat to make them hop out of their chairs and race for their stations to get back to work. Maybe this isn't such a good idea... Howard thought.

"Will you help me? Please? If we have two people was can show more thing. You don't have to. I know most people don't like Mrs. Hill or etiquette much." I jabbered as Evan and I walked up the stair to the class room.
"Sure I'll help you. Nothing better to do and one can never have too much extra credit." Evan told me.

We walked into the etiquette classroom. "Mrs. Hill, sorry I'm late! I ran into trouble walking back. I do have a partner though." I told her, as she turned to us.
"Alright. Thank you for coming Gabriella, Evan." She turned back to the new kids in the room. "Go in order and call out something for them to do, if you wish." The first student asked me to set the table, which I promptly did. I also showed how you switch the silverware in your hands and where to place your napkin and silverware when you're done. While the new kids called out, Evan and I greeted, excused ourselves, spoke, danced, and more, all properly. Note to self: Do something nice for Evan. He's being a really big help! I thought to myself.

Finally the dinner bell rang so Evan and I headed down the grand staircase to the dinning hall.
"I'm sorry you had to do that, I didn't know the new kids could come up with so much stuff for us to do." I said as we walked.
"It's OK," Evan replied, "I had fun. It was better than studying too. Max, Tilly, Jules, and Gordy at at the table. Matt and Lizzy must be in line. Let's go." Evan escorted me to the end of the line. "I hope the others had a good time and didn't get bothered when they walked back." I worried, frowning. "I doubt they got bothered. Who would want to bother Matthew? Evan countered. "Yeah. I guess you're right. You and Matt need service dog vests now. I'll hack into the service dog website and get some sent over A.S.A.P. Oh....Lizzy needs help again...Tutoring at.....Probably right after classes are done." I began to talk to myself. Evan and I went through the lone and eventually got back to our table. "Hey guys!" I said. "Have fun?" I sat down. "Yeah. The dogs ran for a while." Matt answered. "Hey Evan, pass the salt."

Still Still Unnamed....

"Hey guys, I gotta head back early. I'm doing extra credit." I said, flexing my toes in the sand to make it squeeze up between them. "For what class? Etiquette?" Matthew teased me. "Ummmm......" I stuttered, my complexion turning that of a cherry tomato. "Alright, cya later then, Gabby!" Lizzy said, waving me away. I threw my socks and shoes on and headed up the big hill to the entrance of Fort Warden. Max, you can stay here if you want. "Hey Liz, can you watch Max? I want him to run a bit more. Take him home, will you?" I called over my shoulder. "Sure!" Was the muted reply.After walking for 20 minutes, I felt like I was being followed. I pretended to tie my shoe and did a 360 sweep with my eyes. I didn't see or hear anything from my supposed follower, so I began to walk again. After another 5 minutes I saw a two men come around a corner. Well, I thought, I can take one. I can take both of them, I just hope-Aw crap. I started to swear under my breath. Four guys. I can't take them all. Two behind, two ahead. Maybe they're just meeting. "Hey babe." The tallest guy in front of me said. You really gotta stop jinxing it, moron. If they try anything, I'll take as many as I can down. The other guy in from of me said, "What's up, little girl? Too scared to talk? Come 'ere little one. I don't bite." Maybe not, I thought, But I do. I smiled at my jest and kept walking. Don't let them-aw. You did it again! Now they have you boxed in. Way to go! I walked towards the two front guys and they didn't move. I spun myself like I was looking for an exit and round housed a guy in the chest, following through with a fist to his cheek bone. I ducked out of the way of a guy trying to grab me and I kicked him behind the knee so he fell on the pavement. Another guy lunged for me and I bit him until he pulled back. I tasted blood. Two of the guys got back up and grabbed me, but the other two were occupied. They were getting beaten around by a boy. I managed to shake the guys off and then I felt one's nose break under my knuckles. The guys decided that they didn't like an almost fair fight and hightailed it away from us. I turned to my helper. "Thanks a lo-Oh hey Evan! What are you doing?" "I was following you and it looked like you could use help, so I came. I didn't want you to walk all the way to the school alone." He said matter-of-factly. "Oh. Thanks again!" I said, blushing. I should have know he was following me! What if he wasn't a friend?! I berated myself. "Come on," he said, "Let's get back to the school. I'll make sure no more bad guys come get you." He laughed, but his eyes were serious. "Let's go to the school." I agreed.
