Alice Simmons looks down in shame. "Sorry mom..." The headmistress wanted to say something but didn't know what, so she whispered an, "it's alright."
The girls stalked back up to their small tower that serves as their dorm.
It was the only 'tower' in the mansion. The spiral staircase leading up is found behind the statue of the blade originally used by the school, when it first started. If you twist the hilt just right it will move to the left revealing the stone set of stairs. When you arrive at the tower on the west end of the house you'll find yet again a door, and inside that door you'll find the dorm.
A large circular room with 5 beds arranged against the wall. A large window with a plush ice blue window seat. Ladders are set up on two sides of the room that take you up into the loft where a skylight and few things the girls snuck in are hidden. 5 closets decorated to the girls desires and a single bathroom.
"I can't believe it. She looked so disappointed in me. In us! I know we're all good spies so why can't we work together?" Alice stammered out before walking to the window.
Zaria rolled her eyes, "Please tell me your not going out again! I don't want to get into any more trouble!" Alice didn't listen and grabbed her surfboard opened up the window and started the down the rope. "We better not get in trouble for her escapades down to the ocean again." Z sighed.
"Well, I think we could use a day off to have some fun and relax!" Sabrina, always up for escape and surfing, followed their leader with her surfboard. The rest followed in suit knowing that in their team (though they don't always get along) they stick together. Even if one doesn't approve.
As the 5 girls snuck to the back of the grounds and took the secret entrance out to the beach, little did they know they were being watched.
"Finally a beautiful day and perfect waves!" Sabrina cheered. Penny giggled at her friends display and sat down in the warm sand with her book.
Alice, always ready for a swim, took off her uniform to reveal her swim suit and plunged into the warm summer water. Catching a wave on first try she screamed with delight.
"I give it a 9!" Penny called.
"No way. 7 at best!" Zaria shot back.
"8 settles it!" Sabrina offered.
May watched surprised at how these girls who went from displeasure on a mission to friendliness so quick. And how she would ever fit in.
"No way I deserve an 11 for my outstanding performance!" Alice cried as she ran to join them.
Zaria laughed, "So we can defiantly add humble to list of qualities, yes?"
Alice shot them a grin, "Always."
"Um guys?" Penny glanced around nervously, "Escape plan Delta! Now"
This escape plan had only been in beta mode, hence never been done except in practice. Everyone scrambled around. Alice and Sabrina dove into the bushes. Zaria hid in the lifeguard tower. May ran behind a surfboard. While Penny calmly sat there reading with the book covering her face with the help of her floppy hat. Who ever it was watching them from before lost interest when they looked back at the beach only to see a girl reading.
"Why'd you call the plan, Pen?" Alice asked.
"I just thought someone was watching us." she answered.
"Come on let's head back inside we still have to pack," Sabrina grumbled.
May hated it when people looked at her. Especially this team, her team, she doesn't think they like her very much. But there was something she had to say, it was important! "Um guys. We skipped dinner and I'm really hungry so..."
"Say no more! To the kitchens!" Sabrina cheered!
"We are so going to get caught for this," Zaria groaned.
