Spy School: NYC

New Beginning

Thomas Dormitories

St. Christopher's Academy of Talent (CIA Academy of Espionage)

March 2nd, 1330,

This new campus is amazing.
Everything is brand new. Best of all I'm back in school with all my friends.

It's surprising to me how much most of us have changed over the summer while the CIA constructed this new campus.

Chip and Jawa are even bigger than before some how. Mike and I have both grown around five inches, and I'm finally not that small skinny kid anymore.

I've been using their brand new gym they've installed to stay in shape, while getting tutored by my girlfriend, the best spy I know. Erica Hale.

Her family has been spying for the United States since before it even existed, and well she's amazing.

She's the most beautiful girl I know. Luckily enough over the amount of missions we've been on together, I finally convinced her relationships aren't liabilities.

All my friends are much better spies than me of course, so I'm lucky to have them.

They all help me in different ways. So I couldn't be anymore grateful for them.

But since our last mission it has been boring. Most exciting parts of my day is getting to see Erica.

Or call with my parents, who are in Witness Protection in San Diego. It's my fault they had to get rid of their old life. I feel so bad and blame myself for ruining it.

Anyways back to our new school, it goes under the new alias as "St Christopher's Academy of Talent". Im pretty sure we are up northern West Virginia, tucked away in the mountains.

All the students from the last school obviously came here, with the new first years and all the same old professors. And sadly, The Idiot, aka the principal.

"Hey Ben you gonna keep zoning out, or actually pay attention" Mike teased with a grin.

I just realized, embarrassingly, have been staring dead straight for ten minutes.

I grinned back at him "I'm surprised you're not napping like usual".

"I got extra sleep last-" Mike was saying till we got cut off "Benjamin Ripley and Mike Brezinski, what in the world could you be talking about that is more important than my teachings" Professor Weeks yelled at us from across the lecture hall.

Everyone of our fellow agents in training stared back at us, holding in their laughter.

"Nothing sir! We were just discussing how Civil War spies infiltrated Richmond during the war!" I lied, I was doing my best to be legitimate, but being surrounded by future CIA agents, I doubt they believe me.

"Sure you guys were, wait after class to have a chat with me" He said, glaring at us.

Mike and I looked at each other trying not to laugh. Then I realized.

I forgot I would meet Erica at her room after this period, since its our last one.

I sighed to myself, cupping my face in my hands.

The next 45 minutes would go by slowly, bell rings, and we walk up to his desk.

"Why do you guys think it is appropriate to speak during my lectures about the History of Espionage, do you think this subject is not important?" Professor Weeks questioned us sternly.

"Like I said we were talking about-" I was saying till I was cut off "Ben, Mike, principal needs you two" Erica said poking her head through the door.

"Hey! I was talking to them!" Professor Weeks protested.

"Well now the principal needs them, not you!" Erica replied shutting the door behind us.

"What does he need?" I asked her.

"I was saving your butts from an extra 30 minute lecture, he doesn't need to see you guys" Erica told us.

We both grinned at her, "Nice thinking" I said while I slipped my hand in hers.

We dropped off Mike at his room then retreated back to Erica's room.

She had to open up her ten different locks to get into the room, and then let us inside.

Her room still has her kitten posters, but with new additions of some baby seal posters as well.

Once we in her room she put her arms around me and gave me a nice hug.

Of course I hugged her back.

We eventually sat down and talked for awhile till it was time for dinner at the mess.

If you couldn't tell me and Erica have gotten way closer since Murray ruined our reputation with the general public, so we spent much more time together.

Erica isn't one for much relationship stuff like kissing, hugging, so when she does it makes my day. But she definitely isn't the Ice Queen she used to be.

We eventually got to the mess and sat down with our friends.

"They can afford all this stuff, and a brand new campus, but still disgusting food" Jawa sighed, waving his hand around the new building.

We all looked at our plates, none of us have even bothered touching our food.

Nevermind not all of us, Chip was eating his. I couldn't even tell what it is though.

It's a cross between spagetti and goolash. Something like that at least.

"I mean if y'all aren't gonna eat it, I'm more than happy to take it" Chip said with a mouth full of food. So it sounded more like gibberish, but we understood enough.

"Here you go, don't eat me next though" I replied with a laugh.

Jawa, Zoe, Mike, and Trixie did the same. I forgot to mention they enrolled Erica's sister, Trixie after our mission down in Panama. She's also Mike's girlfriend.

Erica didn't even bother to get the food today, so she had none to give to the big hungry man.

"So what is everyone doing for spring break? Since it's so soon" Zoe asked us.

I shrugged then said "I have to stay on campus since you know, my parents are in California".

"Hey no more missions man! At least not without us!" Mike laughed.

This made everyone at our table laugh, even Erica let out a little laugh!

"We'll see you guys tomorrow, I'm stuffed full, and tired" Chip said to us, then let out a gigantic burp.

Zoe made a face of digust and said "Don't go into hibernation though!" "Haha, your so funny Zibbel" Chip replied sarcastically.

All of us eventually went to our own rooms. I said my goodbyes to Erica with a hug.

After a long day I finally get to sleep.
