Silverton North High

Chapter 12: *untitled chapter*

Last night every grade 9 was tense. People were running up and down the halls with wires sticking out of their bras and tools in their hands going from dorm room to room. I for one was as calm and cool as a cucumber... partially because I didn't have the slightest idea of what I was supposed to be doing.

Right before lights out Ally found a note under our dorms saying that we must wear casual and comfy clothing. I for one am glad that I won't have to be running around in my uniform drawing attention to myself. Ally also suggested that I wear as little as possible so you could wear more clothing later on.

"Why in the world would I wear more if I started with less clothing?" I asked her.

Ally rolled her eyes at me, chopped me on my thigh and shoved a piece of paper into my face. "You should really get to reading handouts more often, Kris."

"Wear as little clothing as possible so you can purchase clothing to confuse your tail..." I read aloud from the hand-out. Wel... Maybe handout is really too much of a compliment to Ally's neat handwriting... It's more like a torn out piece of paper that she kept because she, and I quote "JUST KNEW" I wasn't going to read the actual hand-out.

Ally smirked at me and went to bed.

The crew and I met each other at the common room and made our way to the bus garages.

"Kris," someone says from behind me. I turn around and spot James behind me.

"Oh my gosh you still remember my name?" I blurt out and then my amazing mind decides to add: "What the hell are you doing here." Stupid, stupid, stupid!!

Do you see what pretty faces do to me?

James chuckles a little and says, "Some of the prefects were called in to help with your assignment."

"Oh..." I say making things awkward.

"Yep, see you on the flip side," he says and winks at me before turning off to some other students.

"How the hell do you know James?" asks Charles.

"He helped me settle into my dorm along with Kate," I calmly say until something pops into my head. "Wait... Are you jealous Charles Stark?" I ask with a playful smirk on my lips.

I start to see the start of a blush on his cheeks and he brings his hand up to rub at the back of his neck. Just as he is about to answer he is saved by Andrew calling him over.

Yep... Not liking Andrew at the moment.

I turn around and follow Charles to where the rest of the students are standing.

"All you have to do today is lose your tail and start tailing them. The trick is: they mustn't spot you or it's Game Over. The tails will press a buzzer that'll notify us that your cover has been compromised. The tails are going to be: Miss Hutton, The Youngs, and the 6 other prefects. Each team will go in at different times and the rest will be at the base camp watching for their mistakes, we'll get the video footage from the cameras at the mall," Deyton says.

I smile.

This is the challenge we've all been waiting for: I'm game.

You don't have a choice either way, my subconscious adds and I promptly tie her up and kick her in the stomach to shut her up.

As we lead off towards the busses I notice a tattoo sticking out of Andy's white tank shirt and I squint at it, "AA... Alcohol Anonymous, what does that mean?"

Andy glares at me and says, "Wouldn't you like to know?"

I sputter and mumble complete nonsense, but the moment is lost so I flip him off and climb onto the bus.

We drive to the mall and it is decided that my crew and I will be the last group to go.

We watch the other groups as they "do their thing" and even I can identify their mistakes: looking over your shoulder every two seconds after you lose your tail, walking too fast or too slow while being tailed.These people aren't even trying to blend in. Nobody has managed to 'win' so far. Tara and Anna got close but their tails spotted them and the cycle started again before they were called in. People only get called in when we all decide that things are starting to get boring.

These 'spies' are so boring that I decide to take a quick little power nap to prepare for my little mall trip.

After what feels like 10 minutes Zach wakes me up and I rise in time to see someone making a total fool of themselves on the screen and Zach and I start snickering.

"Next," Deyton says.

It's us.

"It is ShowTime bitches, so get ready to perform," Asa says making us all giggle and smile before we head out.

This chapter is, lark, short...
