Hey

Ummm.



Hey guys, I see Lily went ahead and hacked in to tell you what was up.



There was the cliff and Alex, like the idiot he is, slipped over it. I grabbed his hand and was mostly holding him up. But then the log I was bracing my foot against slipped and we both went over.

Luckily, the cliff was a pretty small cliff.

Unluckily, there was a steep hill at the top.
And we rolled a good deal before we finally stopped.

And I sprained my ankle on the way down and so when I went to get up at the bottom of the hill, I blacked out from the unexpected pain.

Anyway, I guess Alex doesn't have a lot of experience in wilderness survival, because he just sat there. Probably would have been better to wake me back up somehow or if he tried and couldn't get me up, then he should have hiked back up to the cliff and gotten the attention of the group.

But he didn't.

By the time I came around, it was getting dark.

The hill would have been hard and I couldn't have got up the cliff at the end if I wanted to so we decided to start moving in the other direction,

Thanks to all Dad's training, I'd remembered to look at the maps before we came.

(We were supposed to be left, but we thought it was another one of Mr. Solomon's end of the year tests, so we thought that we were supposed to find our way back.)

So, more or less, I made a wrap for my foot, grabbed a stick and we started hoofing it toward diagonally across the woods toward the nearest town.

We traveled until it was too dark to see, made a little shelter off to one side )By made, I mean Alex carried sticks and I pointed. Ok, not really. He found material and I wove it into a small lean to.) and slept.

Got up, found food and water. Filled out canteens.  Moved out again.





We made it up onto the road and started walking  for the  town

Once we we're up on the road, walking was a little easier because the ground was flat. I also took a pain killer from my mini first aid kit and Alex was lending a hand. At first I didn't want to accept any help, but my foot,,,,ow.

We made it into town in the late afternoon and cleaned ourselves up a little bit. (We didn't want to attract too much attention to ourselves and therefore our schools)

Dad is always telling my brother and me that we need to make sure we carry money in our survival kits and I made a mini survival kit that I can keep in my pocket which, luckily had enough money to buy us lunch and rent one room in the local motel.

We hung around the dinner for the evening, eating our sandwich and drinking coffee. (They had free coffee refills)

Then we went by the motel and ummmm....we're too fairly young people.....getting ONE room.  (it was either two rooms and no food, or food and one room)

Luckily, we both look pretty mature, so we told the lady at the desk that we were married. (I know. The married couple is SO cliche, but we din't have a lot of time to think of another cover story ok?)

Anyway, the lady must have been pretty bored, because instead of just giving us a key and letting us go, she  started walking us to our room.


And I was pretending that my foot was fine, which is physically and mentally exhausting....and it HURTS.

I must have winced or something because Alex turned and tried to ask me if I was ok.
I said my foot hurt and I was just going to lean on his shoulder (that's something couples do, right?) but Alex just turned and picked me up, bridal style and started walking faster to catch up with the lady.

So we walked past her, opened the door, and went in. The Alex set me down and latched the door and...well, my foot was in a lot of pain and it was kind of swollen and he kind of set me down really fast....well.....I passed out from the pain.

I said I was fine, and asked him was time it was. Only a couple minutes had passed, which was good. I sat up (which hurt) and looked around the room for a phone. Alex saw me look and asked what I was looking for.
He said he'd already looked. There was no room phone, but there was a phone down in the lobby.

So then Alex took one of the spare blankets and half the pillows, made a bed on the couch (a couch, but not phone?) and we went to sleep.

We woke up, I called Gallagher and we ate our complimentary breakfast. By the time we were done...Joe Solomon and Grant were there and we went home.

Then they bundled me up to the nurse who set my foot,(turns out, it was broken.) and told me to stay in bed the next couple days. (I was also a little dehydrated and I hadn't eaten well the last couple days...)

Anyway, so I was in bed for a couple days. 

I started to get up and about with the use of crutches to go to class. 

I had to sit out P&E :(  but I started back into everything else, getting ready for finals. 

Because of my broken foot, I wasn't allowed to go to the end of year ball. Mr. Solomon said something like I'd already proved myself with covers and blah blah blah. 

(Alex got to go.) 

Anyway, he showed up in the hospital room all the time to talk to me while I was in there and we were friends again after. 

And guess what. 

When they left.....

I had a boyfriend.

Here's what I've Learned:

• The exercise was planned by Blackthorne Boys, with the permission of Joe Solomon. They wanted to practice their kidnapping skills, basically plus how to interrogate people based of what you know about them.
• It was only the Sophomores. 
• The boys planned most of it and decided to have it on Valentine's despite Joe and Grants suggestions to move it to a different day
• Still not talking to Alex, who seems to have recovered from his back pain from being flipped into a wall. He keeps trying to talk to me. But guess what? I don't care anymore!
• Four Sophomores Blackthorne boys were hospitalized with minor injures from P&E, and two from the Freshman year class. 
• All the girls seem pretty mad and some of the older boys glare at the sophomores every once and awhile. '

That aside, it was still an ok training session. It was pretty realistic, though it's normally longer. There was all the mental interrogation. It was kind of interesting.


You know, now that I know that it wasn't a group trying to kidnap us, and learn the secrets of our sisterhood!

(Still mad at Alex)

Juicy Gossip

Now, to fill you in on all the juicy gossip at Gallagher Academy.

SOOO:

I was talking to Cammie, who is always down to talk to a Gallagher student. So we were walking and we saw Mr. Solomon, Grant, Jonas (The two Blackthorne Alumni who brought the boys) and Zack sitting together. Just then Alec (be still mine heart) walked by and Grant called him over. I heard Cammie comment to Liz (who we were talking to) "It looks like the 'I Had A Crush On A Gallagher Girl' Club"

And I thought she was talking about me and Alec, but then I saw Liz's face. She was blushing really REALLY hard. Then I remembered something from the books. How Liz and some guy (I think it was Jonas....Sorry. It's been awhile) liked each other.

Might I just say "Oh My Bloody Gosh"

Liz has a crush on Jonas?! Jonas had a crush on her? Shall old flames be rekindled? Ah!

While were on the topic of Gallagher/Blackthorne couples....

Tansy and Lance are SOOO cute together. I don't spend a lot of time with seniors, but obviously I see them at meal times and such. Plus I have advanced blade class with Tansy's group. I already knew the blade basics when I came, thanks to Mom.

Also, I ride to the airport with them. I'm trying to get my pilot's licence, so when the seniors go to practice jumping out of airplanes and stuff, I ride along.

Seniors spend the most time skydiving (They have to practice landing. That is the tricky part) and last time they went up, they had room for one more person in the plane (One of the girls was sick)

So I got to watch Tansy and Lance skydive together. They are so bloody cute. On the way up, Lance said "I've never kissed anyone when skydiving" and Tansy said "LETS!"

Since they jumped out before me, I had to (got to) watch them kiss....while flying through the air.

They are so cute.

Whiskers

I was in the library. I had just finished feeding Suzie. She hasn't started eating kitten food yet, so Zack and I take turns babysitting and bottle feeding her. Anyway, she was full and had just fallen asleep and I was flipping through a book ( Mark of Athena. Hey! We read non-spy books here!) when I heard a voice from the dark corner of the room.

"Your not as tough as they think." He said, leaning calmly against the wall.
Who was it? 
 Alex.
Oh, you know. The one who I threw a book at.
At his face.

Which he deflected in a very fast cool spy like move. (What ever. I still beat him)

He kind of freaked me out. I had no idea how long he had been there. But instead I stayed still and said with a laugh

"Who said I was tough?"

"I think it was Peter," He said with a mock thoughtful look. "Right after you stuck a steak knife in his shoulder"

"Whiner. It barely touched him. I thought they taught hardened assassins at your school."

"They changed all that after Joe Solomon, and Dr. Steve." I thought I heard a growl in his voice when he mentioned his schools crazy ex-teacher. Then he shrugged. "Besides, Peter is on the...what do you call it here...research and development track."

Suzie yawned and rolled over. I rubbed her behind her ears.

"Did they decided your punishment?"

"Yeah..." I hesitated to say that he (and all the other boys) WERE my punishment.

"Was it tough?"

I laughed and said in a haughty tone "Nothing is too tough for a Gallagher Girl"

He laughed back and started walking out of the library.
"Alright. Good night, Whiskers." I thought he was talking about the kitten until he added as he walked out of sight into the hall " And good night Suzie!"

Abby and the Babies

Abby went into labor and Joe drove her and a frantic Townsend to the local hospital. They would have used the school hospital, but everyone is gone for the holidays.

And yes I said babies. She's having twins. I said that right?

Anyway, since I'm not needed I volunteered to take care of Suzie the kitten, and Butter and Carl, Townsend's corgis.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to type or read with jhngfcsd

Seriously, if they dance on the keyboard one more time...

Suzie

Meow

This post is about my furry feline friends. 

Sadly, there hasn't been a cat at the school since Buckingham's beloved Onyx died. (RIP Onyx) 

Or at least until this Christmas. 

Zack was at a local pound looking for Carl (who decided to make a break for it when Townsend was walking them) when he saw this sad looking kitten. It was kind of beat up looking, and had a few scratches. It also had lost it's mum and needed to be bottle fed,  and so nobody was taking it home. Of course Zack is a big softie, so when he heard they were going to put it down, he took it home. 

Cammie, Joe, Townsend, and Rachael were out of the mansion, but I volunteer at the local animal shelter over the summers and I love, love, love cats so I was always the one who took care of them when I worked there. So Zack and I took care of the kitten, gave it milk from a makeshift bottle and when it had curled up to sleep, Zack named it Suzie. 

He is going to give Suzie to Buckingham when she gets back.

Funny Story Time

I was sitting in the library when everyone else came marching in from their extreme snowball war (Cammie, Bex, and Headmistress Morgan won. You should see Zack's face)

They all came in and sat on the couches in the library and started talking about everything they had been up to. They started playing this story game,

Headmistress Morgan went first(Or Headmistress Solomon, whatever. I'm just going to call her Rachael)She  talked about how the faculty played matchmaker with Joe and her. She said she kept finding her self alone with Joe in an empty room. And she'd just be sitting there like "where is the meeting?" and Joe says he thinks Buckingham and Madame D were behind it

Joe smiled. He was next. He tasked Macey if she remembered Agent Howe. She looked a little confused. Joe went on and said that he and Matt (Rachael's first husband and Cammie's Dad) were assigned a protection detail for the McHenry family back when Macey was about 3. They didn't get along so well with Mr and Mrs McHenry, but they got along just fine with lil' Macey. Matt would sneak her Reese's when he thought nobody was looking.

Abby smirked and mentioned Buenos Airs. She said that the basics of the story was that she and Townsend had both been assigned to a major drug dealer in Argentina. But she was with the CIA  and he was with MI6 and they both thought the other was "a bad guy" and tried to kill each other. Abby finished with " And then I saved his life. Twice."

Townsend laughed mockingly. "And all the times I've saved your life? Shall we talk about them?"
that made Macey look up and go "Oh please no."

So Townsend sat and thought for a little bit and them Cammie said "Tell them all about Zack's last mission! Zack looked like he wanted to strangle her and Townsend started laughing. He managed to say Zack had to go undercover as a male model, and Cammie popped up with "I've got pictures!" So we sat and watched pictures of Zack as a model while Zack just tensed up and stared off something at the other end of the library.


Everyone had stopped laughing but Cammie, who was rolling on the floor in tears

Zack glared at her and said " How about the fact that when I'm on missions Cammie BREAKS INTO MY APARTMENT AND STEALS MY CLOTHES!"

Cammie had managed to stop laughing, but she was still giggling.
"She steals my hoodies and wears them."
Cammie fake pouted " They don't smell like you after awhile"

"And again with the love birds," Macey sighed "Well I'd better tell the story of ......


And this went on for hours! (Not that I mind)
