Spy School: At the Great Lakes

Chapter 18: Prep

Yes- I finally have gotten a chapter out, and I don't think the next chapter is far behind (I think- ) Thanks to you all for 1.2k views, 46 votes, and 7 followers! I sometimes might be able to write in school if I'm done with all the work and my teacher says I can. I think there's only going to be about 3-5 chapters left, and I've started to plan on the next book- You'll have to see what it's called soon!

P.S. If you're looking for some Berica, hopefully there will be some soon- at the ending probably. (Idk though don't attack me if there isn't any lol)

(Location: Their Motel)

Mike, Chip, Jawa and Alexander looked ridiculous. At least to the rest of us since we were used to their regular looks. Jawa was now blonde, and had freckles, with a weird punk rock t-shirt and jeans. Chip was now a redhead, dressed in a suit (Catherine told him to use his acting skills to seem like a pompous brat) Mike looked pretty much regular, except he looked like a straight up jock with sleek black hair (Which I guess that is what Mike would have been if he hadn't gone to Spy School) And Alexander looked like a hip dad that was excited about taking a 'all guys break' or something like that.

"All the staff there are most likely to working for Croatoan," Sophia said. "If we scream, you should probably come to help."

"It's getting late, so the center will most likely be closed right now, so we should infiltrate it tomorrow morning." Erica said. "So get some good night's sleep before tomorrow." Without another word, she went back to her room.

"I'll go back to my secret bunker." Sophia said. "Almost everyone has their own bunker that no one else knows about which is their own private room. No one else knows about it except me, and you guys." Then she nodded to Cyrus, Catherine and a transformed Alexander, "Could you leave us alone for a couple minutes?" Cyrus seemed reluctant to let Sophia out of his sight, but left the room.

There was a few beats of silence and quite a lot of blushing, but finally Sophia broke the silence. "Look, I know you all have a crush on me..." she started, but we all interrupted her with "No no, we don't have a crush on you!" or "No I definitely am not into you!" types of things. Sophia sighed. "I know you all do, but I'm not interested in you all." She took a deep breath and said, "I'm Lesbian."

I will say I was a little devastated, but I respected LGBTQ+ people. Chip, Jawa and Mike looked a bit crestfallen, but then tried to hide it.

"Now you all, get some good night's sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a big day." Sophia said, then walked out the door.

Sleep took a long time to find me. I was stuck staring at the ceiling, and Mike's occasional snores didn't help. All I could do was think. All my worries suddenly surfaced, like a dead weight collapsing on top of me. So I tried to think of things that made me happy. So I thought of my parents. But that only made me a bit sad. My parents had successfully made it to Florida, and now go by the names Max and Ivy Shewster. Last time I saw them was when I facetimed them, and Mom seemed happy at least. (They each got untraceable phones) Dad was still a bit mad about not being able to see his family ever again, but he seemed to be having fun in Florida doing his dream job as an architect. (Doing exterior design)

I was happy for them, but that only meant that I probably couldn't see them again for a very long time. Dad seemed super proud of me being a spy, and would have bragged to everyone about it, if it weren't for the CIA and Mom holding him back.

Finally, at 2 am in the morning, I fell asleep.
