Spy high

"JAAKKE!" I screamed in anger, I can't believe he took my iPod! He has got something coming when I get my hands on him!!!

"What do you want Phebe?" replied my brother in the most annoyingly board voice.

"You know what I want, MY IPOD BACK!" errrrrr brothers are soooo annoying! I was in the middle of packing my bag ready to start our new school tomorrow, I say our because Jake is my twin brother, we normally get on quite well but... yeh sometimes we don't. We are going to a boarding school because our dad travels for his job a lot; he is some kind of plant expert going to remote places around the globe looking at plants. Our mother died shortly after giving birth to Jake and me, from what our dad has told us she was an amazing person, always happy and looking to the future. He also said the I looked a lot like her with bright blue eyes and long wavy dirty blonde hair.

Jake is a typical lad, into sports, Xbox and eating! We have our moments of friendliness and getting along but they don't last long. My dad told me earlier that he wanted to tell us something important, I keep thinking that he's got a girlfriend or something stupid like that but why would he say that was serious?

"Phe, Jake can you come here please?" called dad. Oh and by the way, my name is Phebe Ross. I'm 15 nearly 16. My friends and family normally call me Phe or Pheb - just so you don't get confused.

"Yes of course your majesty, it's not like I have anything better to do" Jake muttered under his breath just loud enough for me to hear.

We trudged down the stairs and into the living room that is currently filled with boxes. Dad's sat on the sofa talking to someone on the phone with his laptop balanced on his knee. I'm guessing that he wasn't about to tell use he had a girlfriend as he had up a webpage with our new school on it but it looked different to the one me and Jake had looked at. Jake sat down across from dad and I took the spare seat next to him, dad ended the call and looked at us. He coughed loudly to clear his throat "kids I want you to listen to what I have to say and then ask any questions you have, you understand??" he asked.

We both nodded not knowing what to make of what he had just said. He continued "I'm not a plant expert and I don't travel around the world looking at plants, I'm a secret agent and work for m.i.3!" I glanced at Jake and he just looked a bit surprised, I could hardly process what he just said. I was about to say something when I remembered what he said earlier and quick shut my mouth. "The new school you are going to is a spy school, it will teach you all the normal lessons as well as everything you need to know for being a spy, now do you have any questions?"

"So we get to be spies?" Jake asked, dad nodded and I heard Jake mutter a "cool"

I pulled myself together and said something along the lines of "Was mum a spy?" and dad replied "yes, she died protecting you, because of your blood, enemies tried to take you about an hour after you were born. She killed all 5 of the men trying to take you but died 10 minutes later of a stab wound." He took a deep breath and continued "I was out getting some milk formula after dropping her off home and when I returned I found her in the middle of your room with you two in her arms. She looked up and smiled saying she protected you and that she felt like a really mum. I ran over to her to comfort her and she died in my arms..." a tear leaked out of his eye "I knew I shouldn't have left her" he whispered before I ran over and hugged him, he returned the hug.

I woke to the sound of my alarm going off. I rolled over and hit it, knocking it off my bed stand. I got out of bed and hopped in the shower thinking back to what dad had said yesterday. Laying in bed last night I had thought about mum, I wished she was here now so bad! Living with Jake and dad hasn't been bad, I was stronger and more independent from living with them. It is good in a way I can't imagine being a weak girlie girl who couldn't stand up for herself. Back before we moved I had loads of friends that I loved hanging out with but I enjoyed hanging out with Jake and his boys more! They just got me better than my friends who liked shopping and flirting with boys. Maybe it would have been a different story if mum was alive. I finished having a shower and got changed, straighten my hair and then put my straighters in my suitcase. Once I was all packed I dragged my two suitcases downstairs and propped them next to Jake's.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast and the nutella pot and sat down. While spreading nutella on my toast I asked Jake if he was all packed and ready to go. He replied with a "yep" and popped the p. Dad came in and sat down saying he would be staying at our new school for a couple of days to make sure we were settled in and to catch up with his old best friend who is the head master.

A couple of hours later we arrived at Burtons academy boarding school, On the outside it looks like any normal school. It was in the middle of nowhere and consisted of a old mansion and 4 modern housing blocks and a massive training and combat facility. Dad got out of the car and called to us to follow him, we headed to the big mansion and once inside walked towards the door that said main office. Dad pushed the door open easily and we all slipped in. Sat behind a large brown desk was a petite older lady with black glasses balanced on her nose. She looked up as we walked in, "hi, i'm Mrs. Grant you must be Phebe and Jake Ross! Ive heard alot about you! Jerry, so nice to see you again" she exclaim smiling at my dad,

"As it is nice to see you to, kids this is my old English teacher" my dad told us.

Mrs Grant then passed us a couple of piece of paper saying that they had dorm numbers, locker number and timetables on them. Dad turned to us and said "you guys go off and find your dorms. I'll come find you later" Jake then turned on his heels muttering something about see some boys playing football on the grass outside and I walked out using the map of school grounds trying to find my dorm.
