Still Unnamed

Howard looked around the room at people he rarely saw. Though he barely knew them, they were all working together. For the same cause. With their help we can bring down the spies. With no spies, the government will be ours. We can rule. It will take a while but we will be rewarded. The room was discussing how to best take out the spies. None of them knew about the Veronan Academy where the young spies were trained. They were talking about adult spies and taking them down one by one. Some would be hard to find, having years of experience. When asked about that, the superiors had said they would get information from the spies they did catch. "We won't fail." Is how they had ended the questions. No one wanted to lose their job or fight with the superiors so they gave up asking and went along for the ride.

I unpacked my suitcase in our dorm. Lizzy had let me get the bed next to the window because she knew I liked to look outside at night. "Come on, lets go let the dogs run. They're begging me to let them out." "Alright," Lizzy sighed, picking up a tennis ball. "Let's bring them a ball too." Then Lizzy and the dogs and I walked down the stairs and out to the grounds. Lizzy and I threw the ball a bit, but mostly the dogs just chased each other around. Finally we went inside again when the dogs were ready to collapse. When we got back to our dorm, I went to sit on my bed and look outside while Lizzy read a book on lock picking. After some time another girl walked into the room. "Hey Stacy!" Lizzy said, looking up from her book and smiling. "Hey Lizzy! Hey Gabby!" Stacy replied. I simply waved my hand at her then went back to watching the darkness envelope the grounds. Then the dinner bell rang and we walked down the stairs to the big dining hall where everyone ate. Lizzy and I left Tilly and Max at a table by the door. We got in the line with our treys. We walked through mumbling pleases and thank yous to the cooks. We got to the pet food table and got 2 bowls of dog food from the cook supervising that table. She gave us each a dog treat and then we made our way back to the table. When we arrived, we put the dog food on the ground and sat down to eat. Matthew, a very tall and muscular boy walked up and sat down with us. He's one of the only other people I talk to. His friend, Evan, walked up behind him. He's not as tall but just as muscular. He's also a year ahead of us. This is his eighth year and Matthew, Lizzy, and my seventh year. I talk to Evan too. All of them-Lizzy, Matthew, and Evan-are really nice. I like them. We talked about our summers until the head master stood up. The whole hall went silent in anticipation for his speech.
