More Than Meets The Eye
Prologue
If you're average, it's not everyday you're called up to the headmistress's office the day before the first day of school. Unless, of course, you're me, Cammie Morgan, a student attending the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, who's mother just so happens to be the headmistress.
Yeah, go figure.
Average or not, I pushed open the doors to Mom's office and plopped into the chair across from her desk. I thought she was going to ask how my summer went, since this was the first time I had seen her in weeks. The look on her face told me I thought wrong.
"What's, err, up?" I managed to choke out. Sure, I've had plenty of training. Sure, I've been going to this school for four years to expect something like this to come along sooner or later. Sure, my last two semesters were a roller coaster and I should know that this meeting wasn't "average" from the beginning. But, come on, I'm a fifteen-going-on-sixteen-year-old girl; naiveté is part of the package.
My mother looked me in the eye, her expression as stern, as ever, and sucked in a breath—which I rarely see her do, and I mean rarely. "I'm sorry to drop this on you, Cam," she started in a tone that definitely wasn't motherly, but CIA operative-y, "but I need you to do me—do us all—a big favor."
I gulped. This can't turn out well.
