Valentine's Day Plans

My plans for Valentines Day!

Almost every Gallagher Girl will assemble after lunch on the 14th (we have the day half off) and watch romance movies. It is a tradition we have carried on for years. Every year, the current Sophomore Class hosts. We decorate the whole lounge and we get to pick the movies. We cycle through the Sophomore girls, in alphabetical order. When your turn comes, you choose the next movie! Fun, right.

Normally we have 99% of the girls, plus some of the teachers. The headmistress used to come, I'm told, but then she got married. We decided to continue this tradition even though the boys were here. Quite a few of the girls have dates. The headmistress agreed to give them passes to town for dinner, and most of the girls accepted. A few of the girls though said NO and told their boyfriend (who gets a boyfriend in two months?) that they would be staying at the academy.

Jess hasn't said what she wants to do. So I'm not sure if Jess and David are going into town or if she is going to stay.

I am also not sure what the other boys are going to do. Will they join us? Go do their own guy thing? What?

I'll keep you updated.

Impaled A Dinner Guest

 
So I walked into the dinning hall. (sounds like the beginning of a bad joke)  I'm used to it being empty. It's nice. I can eat whatever way and want and everything.

Anyway, have I ever mentioned I have REALLY good hearing? Seriously.


I noticed "Alec" (if that even was his real name. I still don't trust him) wasn't starring daggers or anything. So he didn't hold a grudge. That's good. I saw another boy lean over and whisper.
"Check out those legs."

I assume I wasn't supposed to hear...but still.

So, I tucked into a somersault roll thingy, and popped up by the near by table.

"Well, aren't you a drama queen." you might be thinking but

A. You have NO idea

B. Even though the table was, like, 5 steps away, they would see me going for a knife, etc.
Plus the roll is faster, and it doesn't register right away that I was going for a knife.

Anyway, I stood up and threw the knife in one fluid motion. I saw Alec's eyes going really wide as he and the boy on the other side of Annoying Boy ducked behind the table. But Annoying-Boy was still looking around him, waiting for a laugh. A returning joke or insult. Not a angry knife throwing girl.

He took a knife through the shoulder. The boy on the far side of Alec jumped up and run to help. Annoying Boy stared at his shoulder.

And I?

I calmly sat down and began eating my supper.

Hey! I cooked this tuna casserole and I'm going to enjoy it.

I am expecting someone will come and talk to me. I am in the library right now. I finished dinner fast. Not because I'm worried. (More like annoyed). I just always eat fast. Life is too short to spend it all at the table.

So yes. I went to dinner, impaled a guest, calmly ate my dinner and went to work on my blog. I'm thinking of changing the background.
