The Academy

I woke up early one morning. It was the first day of spring break. I woke up in my dorm like I always had. I ran upstairs to where the other girls were sitting.

“Did you hear about the movie plans Amy?” My sister Addison asked me.

“The move marathon you mean?” I asked the girls.

“’Course,” Ellie screamed.

“First movie on our list is Spy Next Door,” Addison said. We all went to go eat breakfast. As soon as we finished eating, we all ran downstairs to basement one of four. That was where most of our rooms were, and where we all hung out during the day. Emma turned on the huge 72’ inch flat screen we had in the common room. Ellie fought with the DVD player for a few minutes and then we watched our movie. Around noon we stopped our third movie (We had already watched Spy Next Door, Agent Cody Banks, and we were watching Spy Kids when we paused it.) and went to get lunch. Someone knocked on the front door. All of us looked up; no one had ever knocked on the door before. Ellie looked out the window.

“It’s some man,” She whispered. We all looked around not knowing what to do. The headmaster came out of his office. He opened the door quickly.

“My old friend, welcome, we’ve set up rooms for you and your students.” He said to the man.

“Students,” Ellie whispered questionably.

“No clue what he means,” Emma replied. We all broke out in whispers.

“I’ll bring the boys inside immediately,” The man said.

“Boys,” Addison whispered looking scared. We all laughed at her. The man came in followed by a bunch of boys. We watched the boys come in. I was surprised to see one of them that I knew.

“Addison, remind me to get a hold of Jordan,” I told my sister. I stood up and decided to go down stairs.

“Your students can join our few girls that are still here in their movie marathon,” The head master told the man. I slipped down the stairs before they noticed me.

“I would love to get to know some of the students,” One of the boys said.

“They will be heading down stairs in minutes; right through that door and down the stairs to the left and you’ll be in the common room.” The head master said. The doorknob turned and someone started down the stairs.

“Dancer, quit hiding.” He muttered.

“Abstract? Honestly, you have to quit doing that to me,” I glared at him.

“Sorry Dancer, I forgot how easy you are to scare.” Abstract replied.

“I quit going by dancer when I was nearly killed about a mile away,” I told him.

“So, it’s true, you did quit looking,” He whispered.

“I was nearly killed, I had to quit looking otherwise Addison wouldn’t have had anyone.” I replied. I was crying and he knew it.

“What’s wrong Amy, you never cry.” He whispered walking over to me.

“They’re dead.” I muttered. He hugged me tightly.

“I know, you said that when you called me last week when you were in Egypt.” Jordan said. I didn’t say anything, instead I walked away.

I heard Addison running down the stairs when I got to my room.

“Where’s Amy?” She asked Jordan.

“I don’t understand, last week she needed help in Egypt but she ran away when I mentioned it.” He told Addison.
