Valentine's Day Part One

I am so bloody upset right now.
Wanna hear how my Valentine's Day went?

We all gathered in the lounge. The decorations were amazing. The hot chocolate bar was a big hit, as were all the strawberry heart shaped tarts I made. So we'd all settled down and were watching TV.
All the girls wrapped in fuzzy blankets and got in a pile like kittens. The boys came in as we were finishing Miss Congeniality. They sat on the couch and the floor,(though they didn't all pile together) and actually watch North and South with us.
Obviously, not ALL the boys came.
Some had dates today and some were on a hike in the woods.

We had just started Revenge of the Bridesmaids when a just about everyone fell asleep. Not the cute doze off sort of thing.

The drugged sort of sleep.

Then men dressed in tactical gear walked into the room.

It was only me and Patty. She back up and stood back to back with me. The girls around me were sluggishly moving, They saw the threat but could do nothing about it.

I don't think anyone had their weapons. Patty is the dart expert, but all she had were here aluminum knitting needles. And we both knew, from past experience, you need solid needles to fight. The aluminum ones just bend.

"Hot chocolate bar?" she asked
"Right"

And we began warily walking towards it, keeping an eye on the strangers who were slowly fanning out.

Patty grabbed a handful of skewers from the platter. I picked up a knife that I had brought to cut fruit.

A man moved slowly away from the little group. When he deemed himself close enough, he lunged. Patty and I grabbed the pot of hot chocolate and threw it as one. He went down under a wave of partially warm hot chocolate and a heavy pan. As he lay stunned, Patty darted forward and stabbed him rapidly in the back. She is a master of acupuncture and pressure points as well as dart throwing. The man lay there, temporarily paralyzed. And unless they had someone who knew which point counteracted it,,,it was going to be out for awhile.

Another man walked forward. He jerked his head toward a buddy and they advanced together. I flung myself onto one, flipping him to the ground. Patty held off the other until I was ready. Then she turned, quickly poking him in the back. It seemed to work through the vests, which was good.

As soon as she had turned, I jumped on the man she had been holding off. I swung around onto his back and choked him out. He fell to the floor.

Then they all began advancing at once. Patty and I stood back to back and tried to hold them off. We were doing pretty well, but I could feel myself wearing down. I saw out of the corner of my eye one of the men raising a gun and pointing it at Patty. I tried to scream a warning but it was lost in my throat.
She was hit with a little dart and went down. I had a second to think

"Thank God it's a tranq. dart." as I went down, kicking and screaming under the attack of all the remaining people.

I felt my kicks getting weaker and the tips of my finger went numb. Then the world faded into black.

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.

• When your nails are perfect and they are almost dry and then YOU TOUCH SOMETHING
• Even though your cover story is a snobby rich girl, you have no money
• When you use your roomies shampoo and don't tell them...
  "Why is your hair so sleek and shinny today, Kat?"                                                                       "I have NO idea! Maybe its the weather? Or the new pillowcases?" (Lies.) 
• When people think your name is Cat, *Meow*
• When people see you cry
• Dumb spy movies (I CAN SEE YOUR COMS. STICK THEM BACK IN YOUR EAR! AGH!)

Awesome: 

• Waffles. With strawberries and whip cream. 
• When you get into a flow while boxing or training
• Acting. Cover stories.

• New pony tail holders
• Spy movies 
• A new cute outfit 

What Happened Next

So I told them all my story, and they were all so happy.
One of them sighed and said "I wish I could have been there"

Then Alice sat up suddenly and yelped "The security cameras!" Then she wheeled her wheelchair quick as light, and raced off down the hall. The rest of the girls raced after her leaving just me and the boys.



But wait.

I just keeps getting better. They found the library feed.

So now there are three videos.

Video One: Me throwing book at Alec's head.

Video Two: Me stabbing Peter with a steak knife

Video Thee: All of us attacking yet another  Blackthorne boy.


The note at the end? Gallagher Girls 3; Blackthorne Boys 0

And they showed this video at the end of our grand James Bond Movie Marathon. There were a lot of Blackthorne Boys present. They didn't look happy.

Oh. This is going to be LOTS of fun.

Spy Movie Marathon and Hot Chocolate

So this afternoon, everyone was planning to go hike along the trails because everyone was going crazy from being inside. Jess and Lily invited me, but I shook my head. Right now i just needed to be alone. I nodded for them to go ahead. Just about everyone was going, even the Research and Development girls who LIVE in the library and labs.

Even Liz.

I sat in the common room with a fuzzy blanket looking out the windows thinking. Then Alec walked in with two mugs of hot chocolate.

You could have gone with them" He said

"I wanted to be alone" I said "What's your excuse"

"I didn't want you to be alone"

I might have said something snotty, but he handed me hot chocolate.

Uh Oh!

He found my weakness! Chocolate! I sipped it. It made me feel a lot better

"Wow. Why are you so bloody protective?" I muttered "It's not like your my boyfriend."

"Wouldn't that be a tragedy?" He asked sarcastically

I looked up, but he was facing away, looking at the Gallagher movie collection. Most of them were donated by a Gallagher Alumni named Tina Walters.

"Never seen this one before" He said holding up one of my favorites The Man From U.N.C.L.E

"You've never seen it?" I gasped. I stood up and walked past him to the couch, snatching it out of his hand as I walked "Come on!" I called. "This calls for popcorn!"



It turned into a movie marathon.



The third batch of popcorn was popping when everyone flooded back in.

"That was quick" I called.

"To muddy. Plus it started to rain." Lily said and plopped down beside me. "What's ya watchin' "

"Spy movies. Alec had never seen the Man from UNCLE!"

*Collective gasp from all the Sophomore girls present*






Then started to rain like crazy outside, so we all stayed huddled inside, in blankets.

So much for going outside.
