What The Hell?

This morning, we were all standing around, waiting for breakfast to start (We were mainly talking about whether we thought the waffles I made would turn out soft and fluffy like Chef Louis's always did, or if they would be really gross). The meal started, we grabbed our food, and still chatting, sat at our usual table. 

And then Alex, David, and Pitt slid into seats at the table.

(What the hell?) 

Without looking the least bit uncomfortable, they just sat down, chatting about some video game thing or other. 

We were all sort of dumbfounded. Then Jess started talking to David and within a few seconds, Lily was bickering with Pitt. Cas rolled her eyes at me and put in her earbuds. Alex turned away from his discussion with David and Jess long enough to meet my glare with a insufferable smirk and say "We are starting over, aren't we?" 

Then. I kid you not, he twitched his eyebrow up, and with one eyebrow up and that....THAT....smirky half smile thing, he turned and went back to his discussion. 

I'll ask again.

What

The 

Hell?

Lily and Pitt

A lot of the Guy-Girl pairings (as guides I mean) have really hit it off (Me and Alex, Jess and David, Tansy and Lance, etc)

But not all.

I'm talking about Lily and Pitt.

Pitt is king of cute, I guess. But he is also really annoying and arrogant. Or at least that's what Lily says. Also that he's a show off, brags, etc.

Ummmm. He IS a teenage boy...

Besides Lily is kind of a wild and free type of girl. She doesn't have time for "that crap"
She needs her musicals, her cover designs, her TV shows and music.

And he wont leave her alone. She is pretty sure he has a crush on her and she is trying to devise ways to "bump him off"


NOT LITERALLY! (Though she totally could)

I mean to "lose" him

(MOST do not involve losing him. That one that involves sticking unconscious him on a plane to Arizona. Or the one that involves leaving him in the woods....locking him in a closet.... Ok. Some of them involve losing him somewhere.)

(She is plotting on the other side of our bedroom right now.)

1 Month

Tomorrow it will be one month since I met Alec.

So I am going to do a special post just about him:


Things I know about him:

• His write his name Alex. With an X. I've been wrong all this time. Note: From now on his name will be written right, but I am not changing the label from Alec because that takes to long (Maybe some day....) 
• He notices things. 
• He is really sweet, but also kind of badass
• He fights with a stick. But a really cool stick. Sometimes he splits it apart and fights with two short sticks! (Think Bobbie Morse. Except not in metal. And not electric. He should get one like hers....) 
• He does not have green eyes. He had hazel eyes. Hazel eyes are the ones that seem to change between different colors (Like brown and green) Mine do this too. Mine tend to look dark green most of the time, but they change based on what color I have near my eyes (Aka: Shirt color)
• He is on the Cov-Ops track. (In case the stick thingy didn't tip you off) 
• As far as I know, he doesn't know how awesome he looks. Please stop combing your hair with your fingers. Are you trying to kill me?!?
• We don't really spend that much time together....I mean, we both run in the mornings and are normally there at the same time, we have classes together, and he sits at the same table during meals (Because of his buddies Pitt and David) So yeah, I guess we spend some time together, but not really "together"... 
• His last name is Hawkins. No, he isn't related to Steven Hawking. (Kat Hawkins...sounds nice.) 
• He is pretty fit, even for a spy boy. 
• He also likes the Cold War Era! YAY! Common interest! 

Things I don't know: 

• Just about anything about his family
• His birthday( It might be on his file....Maybe Lily will hack it?)
• If he likes me or is just being nice because I'm crazy
• What does he want to do. Secret Service? CIA? MI6? FBI? 
• Where he lives. Like, not even what state. Does he even live in the USA? (He does have a pretty good British accent...what if it's not fake?!?) 
• What his favorite color is, favorite food, internal emotional problems...all the things he knows about me.

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.

Talk to the Girls, They'll Fix It

Last night, we were in our room, getting ready for bed. I was brushing my hair when Lily looked up from painting her nails.

"Ok, Kat. Spill. What's wrong?"

I said nothing, just gave them a look like, What me? Problems?

"Come on Kat" Jess said from the bathroom. "We gave you space. Now squeal"

Ok, so I guess my friends saw that something was wrong with me.

So I told them. Well not everything. But most of it. As much of it as I could bring myself to say out loud.

Of course it ended up being about Pitt, David and Alec.

Totally un-supporting friends

"He's SOOOO dreamy!"

"Lily! Alec is annoying!"

"But he's so cute"

"He is also over protective, Jess! He's not even my boyfriend!"

"Do you want him to be?" Lily smirked

*Here Lily was creamed with a pillow *

 After a brief (but glorious) pillow fight, we relaxed again and started annoying Jess about David

Talking to them made me feel so much better and my day went so much better.

Katherine Edgeworth, Reporting for Boy Duty

"The List" as it came to be called, was posted in the Dinning Hall.

Almost the entire school was gathered around those five little pieces of paper.

Now even if a boy and girl really hit it off that first evening when (most of us) first met them, they still didn't know id they were going to be paired up. Boys could ask, but mostly Headmistress Morgan and the Blackthorne Boys Alumni who had come with them decided. I think they paired them (us) up by interest.

Lily and Jess, who were wearing way to much makeup for the first day of school pushed into the crowd.
"Let me know who I got" I called to them as I made my way to the food. I smiled to Gracie, and Emma as we walked through the buffet line.

"Just us and the food!" Gracie laughed

Emma snorted "Boys, who needs them! I don't think they're even up!"

I grabbed waffles (I LOVE waffles) and piled it to the top with whip cream and strawberries and grabbed a glass of juice.

The twins, plopped down beside me on either side. I always mix them up, but I think Ashley was on the left and Emily was on the right....

"I got Luke" the one of the right smirked

"I don't see why YOUR smiling, Ashley!" the one on the left said (must have been Emily) " I got Hunter!"

"Did you see mine?" I asked through a strawberry filled mouthful.

"Yes. Lucky! You got Alex!"




Goodie.



(PS Lily got a chap named Pitt and Jess got David. Naturally)


Got to go start class now. Wish me luck!
