        PROS &CONS to having your grandmother as your headmisteress

        (A list by Morgan Goode)

        PRO: She's still your Grandma and will do all the typical things grandmas do.

        CON: It doesn't matter if your parents are either half-way across the world or even on another planet she will find a way to contact them and fill them in on your latest rule-breaking schemes.

        PRO: She still looks out for you no matter what.

        'CON: Having someone look out for you all the time isn't that great, especially whne you've broken at least eight school rules on your first night,

        After our little project last night, Grandma was less than amused. She read us the riot act about breaking and entering into unauthorized locations. She said that detention was in our future, but she wasn't going to be the one giving it.

        Gabs and I walked into our room and found Cassie running a brush through her hair, and Leah doing COW homework. "What happened to you two last night?" Cassie asked.

        "We made Gallagher Academy history," Gabs said as she fell on her bed.

        "More like, we got caught, in the process of making Gallagher Academy history," I clarified.

        "What did you do?" Leah asked,

        "Break into the sub-levels," Gabs replied.

        "Actually, the elevator. Grandma caught us, before we could take a step out into the sub-levels," I clarified, again.

        "What? How could you guys do that, without me?" Cassie asked.

        "Because you were suffering from jetlag, and jetlag kills more spies than bullets do. Plus, Leah was studying and pulling her away from that was going to be impossible," Gabs explained. Leah then gave her a thumbs up in agreement and cassie just groaned, cursing her jetlag for ruining what could've been an amazing oppurtunity.

        "I hear that tonight's movie night, you guys in?" Leah asked, and all eyes were on her. "I like studying, but I also have fun guys," Leah explained. Gabs and Cassie were in, but I had plans of my own. After they were gone I changed into some normal clothes (I love Gallagher Academy, just not a fan of uniforms).

        The Gallagher Academy mansion was glorious from the outisde, and even more on the inside, but at night it had a completly different feel to it. At night, no one was wandering halls, and it felt cooler. The darkness amplified my pavement artist skills and I felt more powerful at night. As I strolled through the Hall of History I glanced at all the pictures of famous alumna who earned their place on those walls. I wasn't surprised when I saw my mom and her friends, it was their graduation picture. I never knew what they did that young to earn a spot there, I asked one time but as usual I got the typical answer, classified.

        Walking down the hall, Grandma's office door was open and I nearly stubmled in on a conversation I was never supossed to hear.

        HOBBES: Thank you ma'am, but I know you didn't call me here to talk about the sub-levels.
