Chapter One: Sarah’s First Day
Sarah was so exited! Today was her first day of spy school. Someday, she thought, I’ll be a real spy!Sarah rushed down the stairs to the kitchen where she saw her mother cooking breakfast. “Good morning mother,” said Sarah excitedly,” guess what today is!”“I don’t know, what is today?” asked the mother who really knew what today was.“Today is my first day of college!!!” Then Sarah grabbed the pancake and ran back up to her room where she started to pack what she needed. Clothes, money, laser, flashlight, plain ticket, and some other spy type stuff. But what she was really interested in was the magicifier. It turned any thing she pointed it at, magic.She tried it out on her dresser. POOF!!! The now magic, dresser tuned purple and started dancing the "nut cracker". Sarah danced along. Then she decided she would point it up to the sky and shoot. So she ran outside and did that. The magic beam traveled up, up, up! But in the sky was a mirror like cloud that Sarah did not notice. The mirrorish cloud reflected the magic beam. So the magic beam traveled down, down, down! Until it hit a big waterfall called the Rainbow Falls. Then Sarah realized she forgot about the purple dresser! She sprinted as fast as possible inside. There she saw her mother in the corner watching the dresser in terror. Sarah pulled the magiciifier out of her pocket, switched it to reverse, and shot the dresser. Nothing happened! Both the girls new there was no reverse to this. Sarah could tell the dresser did not eat. Then she named it Kelly. After observing the strange dresser for a while, she put it in her room and locked the door.“If you have any trouble, call me. I think I got it all figured out.” Sarah’s mother nodded and looked at the clock. DONG! DONG! DONG! “One hour before the train, dear.” Sarah’s mother said with a sad tone in her voice. “Goodbye, your father and I will write you. He will be back from his business trip in two days.”“O.K. mom, bye.” Sarah and her mother hugged. Then Sarah went up to her room to get her luggage.“Bye.” her mother said once more.Sarah then went out to her blue Toyota, waved goodbye, and was off. It took Sarah a while to get to the air port. She nearly had a wreck near the New Hampshire border.Then the traffic was horrible! Some criminal escaping from jail stole a car and had a wreck while he was speeding away from the police. At the air port Sarah had a long wait. So she went to Subway for a while. There she met a guy named Bill. He said he was going to college in New York too! She asked him what college he was going to. And he said New York Spy Academy!!! Bill and Sarah became good friends. They sat next to each other On the plane, and walked together to the New York airport door. Bill and Sarah had to separate for a while.“See you soon Sarah!” Bill called as he got into his rented car and drove away. Once Bill left Sarah rushed to her rented car and started driving toward the edge of New York. But traffic was worse, they probably moved a mile an hour. School was opening sooner and sooner.Then the school opening time was farther and farther away. Sarah was late! Then Sarah remembered the magicifier. She reached back and dug through her luggage. “Ah-ha!” Sarah said as she found it.She stopped the car, climbed on top of it, pointed the magiciifier at all the cars, and POOF! She hurried to get back in her car as traffic turned into a rush our! It didn’t take her long to get to the busy school now. As Sarah entered the building she saw a lady coming up to her and asking her to sign a waver.“One of our courses is cursed,” the old woman started,” Many children were never found a again. But Rainbow Falls is one of your last courses, you can wait till then.”“No thank you.” Sarah carefully read the waver and then signed it. Then the old lady thanked her and left. Sarah ran, faster than usual, to the main hall. She could here the principle talking about the school rules. After she stepped through the door, everything was different. Instead of the tile floor, The ground in this place was rainbow carpet. There was a stage up at the front of the room. There, on the stage, was the principle. He was wearing what looked like a tuxedo. But as he spoke he kept on pulling stuff like computers, shackles, and sometimes fish tanks out of the back pocket. Every body seemed to be quite amazed by this. Sarah quietly made her way down the rows of tables looking for Bill. Unfortunately for Sarah, principle Big Daddy noticed this. “Ahh, a first comer girl here I see. Come, come.”Sarah walked toward the stage, her face redder than an apple. “I was just telling the students about how odd you may feel at first. But the feeling will go away as soon as you make friends. Friends always help. Now tell me, what’s your name? Sarah shakily replied, “Sarah.” “Sarah….”“Sarah-, Sarah-.” There was a pause in Sarah’s conversation.“Why don’t you just look in you principle book!” Sarah yelled.“O.K. then, I will.” To Sarah’s dismay, principle Big Daddy went to go get his book of Principle stuff and flipped through the pages. While Sarah’s face was getting redder and redder. She did not want principle Big Daddy to announce her last name. “Here it is!” Sarah’s face was purple now. “Sarah Thompson.”Sarah’s face went to red, to pink, to peach. Principle Big Daddy did not announce her real last name. But to their surprise, the whole crowed started to OOOO! All the faces shecould see turned to look at Bill. “Bill’s got a wife, Bill’s got a wife!” The crowd chanted. The principle looked sorry and dismissed everybody. Sarah’s roommate was picked for her. Her name was Faith. Faith was a nice girl with curly blond hair and absolutely no freckles. Sarah and Faith became good friends. Faith was a good advisor too. She knew everything about the school and was considereda perfect student. A couple days later, Sarah remembered the old lady telling her about the curse of Rainbow Falls. So she asked Faith about it during free time in gadgets. “What happens when you fall off Rainbow Falls? Do you die?”“Nobody know what happens. But for sure you don’t die. Once they found a student incautious lying beside The Rainbow River. That is the river that is connected to Rainbow Falls. Once he woke up, he said he swore he would not tell anybody what happens. Used to, the students could just swim to the shore and head back to the school. But now, it’s different. They don’t come back.” Before Sarah could say anything,free time was over. Gadgets class started. Sarah had so much on her mind. What else did he say? Why didn’t scientists go down there and see for them selves? And, who could have done that? But that was a stupid question, she knew she cursed the waterfall. But wouldn’t admit it. Not even to herself. The next day, Ladle Drought and Sarah had an important conversation. “Your friend, Faith told me your second deepest darkest secret. But please, don’t get mad at her, because she knew I could be trusted. And I have something to tell you about it.” There was a pause and Ladle opened her mouth and couldn’t get any words out. She tried again. “They have invented a didifier. It tells who did something. I’m not saying they will, but I think they willtry it out on Rainbow Falls.” Sarah gasped in horror. Then Ladle patted her on the back and left. Unfortunately, Sarah saw the principle and the Spy Academy employees set out forRainbow falls the next day. Sarah was scared, so scared, she fainted. She awoke in the school hospital. She saw the nurse heading towards her with pursed lips. What would she say? Sarah hoped with all her might that she wasn’t about to scold her about using gadgets inappropriately. But she turned, right at the edge of her bed, she turned. She was walkingtowards a girl. But that wasn’t just any girl, THAT WAS FAITH!!! Faith was in the hospital bed crying. “I think she has a broken arm.” Sarah whispered quietly to herself. Then Faith got up slowly and limped toward Sarah. She had a broken leg too! Once Faith got to her bed. Sarah asked what happened. Faith replied with a quiver in hervoice. “Tommy told me you fell down the water fall. I knew I couldn’t believe him, but he looked dead serious! So I headed toward the bay of the water fall the next day and couldn’t find you. It was dark, so I decided to go home and rest. Hopefully to see you. But as I was climbing up the scary cliff, I saw a mermaid. I fainted. But the worst part was, I let go of the rock and fell all the way back down.”“How did they find you?” Sarah asked. “I don’t know. The principle and some employees appeared when I woke up.” Then a man came in the room. Sarah couldn’t make out who it was. But before she could even guess, Faith cried out, “Bill!” Bill rushed over and hugged Faith. “Bill where were you? I called your jinxeder.”“I was busy finding out where you were Faith.” Bill replied. “Sorry.”“It’s fine… Guess what!?” Faith told Bill the whole story on how Sarah fainted and stuff. When she was done, Sarah’s face was as red as an apple. Bill noticed. “Sarah, I would have done the same thing, trust me.” Sarah felt a lot better, but her face was still red. “Is there something wrong, Sarah?” Bill questioned. “Yes, Granny de dirty socks.” Sarah was so imberised, she could die and not care. It was true, Sarah liked Bill. The next day Sarah got a note in class from Bill. She chose not to open it ti’ll the end of class. Because the teacher was SO busy telling her what a jinxster was. After the lesson, Sarah went to the bathroom. She was afraid to open the letter in public because of her reactions to what it might say. She took the letter out of her jean pocket, opened it and began to read.
Dear Shara, Meet me tonight at 10:30 in the hallway that leads to action class. Please come!!! I have to talk to you. From, Bil.
The bell rang for class. “Oh-No! I’m late!” Sarah yelled. Sarah ran like the wind down the hallway to secrecy. “Your late.” The teacher said promptly as she enterd the classroom.She sat down and got out her books pretending to listen. But really she was writing a note to Bill.
Dear Bil, I’ll come! See you later!P.S., It’s Sarah, not Shara. And I thought your name ended with two ells. But I’ll just go with the flow! From, S - A - R - A - H!
Then she folded the letter up and passed it to Bill. Bill took it in an odd way.He unfolded it and began to read. Once he was finished reading, he gave her a “What do you mean” sort of look. Then he folded it back, tucked in his pocket and turned toward the teacher. Then Sarah heard something. “Sarah, what happens when the victoms hear niose?” Sarah hesitated. Then she took a guess. “They get suspicious.”“ Correct! For a second there I thought you weren’t listening.” Sarah continued with her lessons until last period. She skipped codes and went straight to her room and started to get ready. Once Sarah was done, she exited the room slowly and caucisly. She didn’t wantanyone to hear her, or see her with curly hair and a dress exept Bill. She looked up at the clock. It was 10:25. Sarah ran down the hallways until she got to a corner. Then all the sudden, her guts churned like crazy! But she wouldn’t let fear take over! Yes, she thought. I will turn that last corner no matter what. Step, by step, by step, she made her way towards the corner.
