Only The Goode Spy Forever

Chapter 35: The Warning

  Annalise Goode looked at the beautiful girl with the long blonde hair. The girl was sitting on Anna's bed and grinning. "So who's the man in your life?" Anna's mouth dropped. How did she know about Cason?

   "My dad and my brothers," Anna replied, playing it cool. Bree grinned wider.

   "Wrong answer, angel," Bree said, using the nickname she had give to Anna. Anna turned and glared at her roommates.

   "I'm sorry, Ann. Bree came in an hour ago and we said you were exploring the school. She saw right through us. We didn't tell her about Cason! She just figured it out somehow," Caroline said defensively.

   "Caroline!" Diana cried. "You just told her!" Caroline slapped her palm to her forehead. Anna glared at her and Diana rolled her eyes.

   "Cason, huh?" Bree said. "Is he cute?" Anna's eyes widened.

   "You're not going to tell my grandmother?" She asked. Bree looked offended.

   "No, angel I would never! I'm very invested in your love life. Now spill," she said. She put her head in her hands and smiled at Anna.

   "He's amazing. He's tall and blonde and he's got freckles. He wears this chain and he's just the best." Anna said dreamily. Bree nodded and raised her eyebrows.

   "Is he honeypotting you?" Bree asked seriously. Anna felt anger rising in her.

   "Why? Because that's the only way a guy like that would go for me? You're the honeypot, Bree! Not him!" Anna raged. Bree held up her hands in surrender. She looked at Anna's frown and began laughing. Yes, actual laughage!

   "A guy like that would never go for you? Have you seen yourself recently angel? You're beautiful! Any guy would go for you!" Bree countered. Anna was shocked. Bree, FLAWLESS Bree, had just called her beautiful. Anna thought that was the biggest compliment that she had ever received. "I'm asking if he is because I want you to stay safe." Anna got angry again.

   "Look, Bree. I know you're the honeypot and you think you know everything about boys, but you don't know Cason. He's different," Anna snapped. Bree looked like she had been slapped in the face.

  "Anna! I never said-" Bree began. Anna held up a hand.

   "Save it, just go," she said. Bree's mouth was dropped open. She closed it and frowned. Bree got up and headed for the door.

   "Guess what, angel," she said turning back to Anna. "I know you're a genius and all, but you're wrong. You think just because I'm a honeypot I know all there is to know about boys. I've never even had a boyfriend." Anna looked shocked. Caroline and Diana mirrored Anna's shock. Bree's voice wasn't mean it was... hurt? She made eye contact with the group one more time. "Plot twist." And with that she left the room.

   "Wow," Diana said. Anna shook her head.

  "I know right! Who would've thought she's never had a boyfriend?" Anna replied. Diana laughed and shook her head.

   "No it's not that," Diana said. "It's the fact that you two seem related. Are you sure you're not sisters?" Diana was laughing. Anna didn't say anything. She was too surprised. For the first a thought crossed her head: Bree and Chase were like twins! They had so much in common! They were both protective of Anna and they both were always cracking jokes. Dang. Small world.

Anna pulled on a sweater and threw her hair into a ponytail. It was Friday, and she was going out to meet Cason. Once she had her approval from her friends she made her way to her secret passageway. She was just about to pull the lever when she heard a voice behind her.
