Star Academy #1

Madeline

I just received a message from my dad that I had to decode. It was something like this: 

Animals come kitten meerkats to dogs snake chimpanzees the monkeys zebras cats principal's goldfish eels office gorillas dolphins whales

I figured out how to decode the note after a few minutes, I just had to cross out the words about animals, because the word "animals" was in bold. I quickly hurried to the principal's office with a notebook and pen to write notes. I saw Melody also there with Violet, and my dad, uncle, along with Jasper's dad, when the girls saw me, they asked me why we were called here in a whisper, I just shrugged. Soon, Jasper arrived, and my uncle clapped his hands to get our attention.

"Today, we are going to start training your physical abilities."

This raised a lot of murmurs among my friends.

"Everyone will need to participate, but, some people don't need to train a lot, but they need to develop their special skills," my dad explained.

"Violet will only be trained in running, because once the enemy she has befriended finds out she's with us, she'll need to run away. While Jasper will be trained for combat, and the people that you guys have chosen will be trained on whatever skills they are good at," Jasper's dad said.

"We have some good news, we found out that Marcus and Tiffany are enemy agents. Gwen may also be involved because of being Tiffany's best friend." my dad said.

"But, Ava just told me today that she kind of has a crush on Marcus!" I said with worry. 

"This is probably what the person from the recording meant by sacrifices will be made," Melody piped up.I sighed, Ava will be so sad when she finds out...... Poor girl.

"You need to choose one agent now,"my dad said sternly.

"Or we won't have enough time to disable the bomb. This week is for training all the agents, I want all the new agents here by tomorrow. You've already been delaying the time," my uncle said.

Fortunately, Jasper came to my defense, "But, we don't know who we can trust now, and Madeline's been trying her best to also keep up with her studies!"

Hearing this, I saw Jasper's dad smile and whisper to my uncle, "Young love," My uncle gave me a sly smirk, and said,

"Alright, we forgive you this time. But, next time, Jasper isn't going to rescue you!"

Jasper and I blushed, while Melody and Violet giggled.

Suddenly, my dad said, "I think that Carrie is a good choice,"

"I don't think that Carrie needs a lot of physical training, she dances Flamenco, and believe me, I've tried it before. I quit after like two weeks, it was too tiring, you had to hold your arms up, keep your body in a good posture, and don't rest. You need to use your whole body to do the moves well. So, Carrie's body can probably handle a lot of work and tiredness," Violet added.

"Oh, and we just found out that Lana and Anderson are enemies," my dad said.

"I think that Carrie is the perfect person to get intel from Anderson, she's got the looks, personality, and money too. Maybe Anderson likes those badass bitches, but Carrie isn't like that, she's so nice!" Melody said.

"Then, someone could teach Carrie to do that. But, she's a good actress, so I think she can handle it," Jasper said.

"I'm a bit worried, because Carrie might have to do some very bold and bad things, such as getting drunk.....," I trailed off with worry.

"Then, Jay can pretend to be jealous and they can fight. Besides, I'm pretty sure Carrie drinks at parties with the celebrities," Melody said.

"Yeah, and maybe Jay can grab some evidence or clues from his clothes or pocket during the fight!" Violet finished for Melody.

"So, Jay and Carrie are in, now?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah, pretty much," my dad said as the other men nodded in agreement.

"I don't know this Carrie girl, but her dad tailored Jasper's mum's dress for an important event before,"

"I want to see her, and see if she's good enough," Jasper's dad said.
