Start Over

The meeting was set for five o'clock in the afternoon, in the woods, by the stream (Yes. That stream.)
 4: 15, Operative Edgeworth arrived at site.
 4: 56, Operative  Hawkins arrived, sat down on the log on the north end of the clearing and waited
 5: 15, Operative Hawkins was seen to be a little on edge. A started pacing and looking at his watch.
 5: 30 Operatives, Demos, Peterson, and Hawn arrived at scene.
Operative Peterson asked what he was doing here and where the hell Operative Edgeworth was.
5: 01, due  to the heated attitude, Operative Edgeworth dismounted from her awesome hiding place in the nearby oak tree.
And scared the hell out of everyone.

--                                                                               ---                                                                         --

They all jumped when I appeared. Alex had just finished saying.

"Please. I just want to talk to her." 

So I said, "Why? What could you possible have to say to me."

"I...." He seemed a little at lost for words. "I...didn't know." 

I snorted. "Obviously."
"What am I supposed to say?"
"How about nothing?"
"If you didn't want to talk to me, why did you set up these meeting?"
"So you would leave me alone!"
"Kat...."
I turned and glared at him.
"Can't we just start over?" he asked.
"Fine." I turned and walked to the other end of the clearing and started walking towards him. "You do remember I threw a book at your head?"
Then I turned and Lily said, "WHO ARE THEY???"
I smirked, remembering when Lily and Jess first saw Alex, in that cafeteria room so long ago. What they said before they walked over and sat at our table...
"Oh, yeah. I may have forgot to tell you that the Blackthorne boys are here."
"Katherine!" Jess said in a high pitched voice, mimicking her surprise and anger on that day.
"Ooooh,  who's the hottie?" Lily asked, glancing at Alex. He stood confused on the other end of the clearing.
"Looks like a real heart breaker." Jess commented.
"Oh no. Here they come." Lily whispered hurriedly.

"What?" Alex asked, starting to walk across the clearing. "What was that all about?"
Jess stepped in front of me. "That was, word for word, what we said when we first saw you."
Cas stepped up beside Jess. "Consider yourself started over."
"Kat..." Alex started, sounding a little annoyed. He stepped closer, but the girls closed around me in a ring and we walked out of the clearing without a backwards glance, leaving Alex behind.

Welcome Home Dinner

(I am writing this from the bathroom off our room. Lily and Jess have bedded down so I can post if I'm very fast) 

Well.

That was interesting

So we all went into the Dinning Hall.   As tradition, we girls only sit on the far side, that way we can see the opening ceremony better. Well, not always. Most of the girls do. The table where Jess, Lily and I were sitting (they are like Cafeteria tables) had three empty chairs on the other side of the table. Anyway, we had all gotten our food and were sitting down.

The teachers came in.....

followed by the boys.

Jess' eyes got really big and Lily made a tiny squeaking sound. Then they both turned on me.

I tried to look surprised

Then Alec and his three friends came and sat down on the opposite side of our table and said "Hey Kat" 

There goes my cover.

Lily looked mildly angry. (JK. Smoke was coming out of her ears) 

Jess looked stunned. So did one of Alec's friends. (I didn't know his name. I only knew the annoying ones)

Then he said "Hey Jessica"

Then Alec and his other friend...(who was stuffing his face. Wait until Madame D. gets a hold of him! Muuwahahaha)   Anyway, they turned like "WHAAAAAAAT?!"

Turns out, Jess and this other dude (his name is David) knew each other when they were younger. They used to live in the same small town! He moved away two years ago and neither one knew the other was from a spy family.

After a moment of stunned silence, they began babbling as fast as they could. I looked at Alec and I mouthed "Awkward"

He raised his eyebrows and mouthed "Amusing"

So yeah. My day was awkwardly amusing.

I did break away for a little bit and introduce Tansy and Lance

Update

So busy.

Everyone is coming home today, for the Welcome Home Dinner.

Almost nobody came home yesterday. Our resident French Chef came back. Mainly faculty.

The boys vanished into the wood work like cockroaches. Lily and Jess aren't back yet. I'll let you know how it goes but  they(Jess and Lily) will most likely swamp me with questions (the boys are showing up at dinner) and school begins on Monday.

I'll fill you in later
