For starters, my name is Cameron Morgan and I'm a top secret agent for the C.I.A. My high school wasn't like any other high school. It trained me to be who I am. From learning 14 different languages to learning manners, Gallagher Academy was the World's best school for spies in training. I got into this business because of who my family is. My father was one of the best in the agency, but he went missing on a mission a year before I came there. My mom was also one of the best, but since my dad died, she wanted to be close to me, so she became headmistress. But not all girls who are accepted at Gallagher are going into the family business.

Elizabeth (Liz for short) got in by a scholarship. She could easily hack into anyone's files at age nine, she is the smartest person I have ever met. She also is the clumsiest; she often uses the words "oopsie daisies" when she trips or messes up. Macey Mchenry, might be the richest girl in our school, or the snobbiest or the senators daughter, but she is a pretty good spy. She got into Gallagher late, but she easily caught up. This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Gillian Gallagher is her ancestor. Bex is the athletic one. You don't want to get her angry because she has some serious muscle and can take down a guy 3 times her size any day! She got into Gallagher because of who her parents are, like me!

Those three are my best friends and my roommates. We have been through a lot together. Blackthorn's exchange was one. After I got out of my first relationship with a townie, which is strictly off rules and ended badly, the school did an exchange with Blackthorn Academy. It was a school like ours, but BOY SPIES! That's when I met Zach Goode.

At first I thought he was annoying and obnoxious, but through time, I found that I loved him and his smirk. (It still gets annoying though) The year after the exchange the two schools formed into one, Gallythorne. Ever since then, we've been dating. Sure we have had our fights, but it always turns out alright.

We just graduated a week ago, and tomorrow will be our first day at Headquarters (HQ). Zach wanted to take me out some place fancy tonight in Roseville. When I told my friends, they already knew. They wanted to make me look perfect. I don't know why, but they seemed to know something, something that they were all excited and giggly about. I thought it was just about my date.

Macey, being the fashionita that she is, lended me one of her dresses. It fitted my curves nicely. It was black, tight and went to me knees. I wore matching black high heels and a necklace that Zack got me 1 year ago. That's the first thing that set me off about how my friends knew something, they knew where I was going because they knew to dress me up formal. I just let it slide.

I was going to be taking my car, my mom got me. I was riding down the road. I knew it wouldn't take me long to get there because Roseville wasn't that far form the Academy. Something was wrong though. I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Once I realized what I was feeling, I started to speed up. I was almost near town, if I got near people I wouldn't be so scared, but something was in the way. There were two cars blocking the road.

I did a quick U turn so fast because I was about to hit them, and I needed to get out of here. I started to head back the way I came, going towards the academy, but out of no where, 2 more cars are on the road, blocking my path. I was being sandwiched in. But before I could make a reaction to the new blockage, I ran into the cars. It wasn't that big of a crash. Nothing exploded and no cars flipped but the hood to my car was smashed into the side of the enemy's car. I tried reversing but the car wouldn't work.

I went for plan B; I opened the door and ran for it. But the enemy was expecting this because they had about 35 men surrounding me. They were putting a circle around me. I couldn't think of a way out. There was no chance that I could fight them without backup. It was a lost hope. So I did the first thing you should do. Try to get distract them, so you can come up with a plan.

"What do you want?"

"It's simple" said a guy moving up front, clearly the leader. He was dressed in all black but he had dark brown hair and black shades too.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, all you have to do is leave."

"What?"

"Tomorrow, on your first day at HQ they are going to give you a mission, to come and find us and take us down."

"Who exactly is us?" I ask but he ignores me and continues.

"We decided to get to you before you went undercover and we couldn't be able to trust anyone, thinking that they are you. So here we are just simply asking you to leave this life behind. It's an easy way out when you think about it."

"What makes you think that I'm going to leave all my friends and family behind because you're scared you won't be able to compromise me when I accept this mission?"

"Oh nothing really. Just that your pitiful roommates are being pointed by snipers, along with their helpless boyfriends. Little do they know that we have control, just with one wrong word you say to me, I give the call, and the janitors are going to have a big mess to clean up."

I was speechless. My friends have no idea the danger they're in! They are going to be killed if I don't say yes! But how am I supposed to leave? I can't leave my spy life. They would never forgive me!

"If that doesn't make up your mind to leave then maybe telling you that there are 3 snipers pointed on your mother right now as she is in her office and that boyfriend of yours has twice as many.

"I'll do it, just don't hurt them please? Don't hurt the people I love!" I was begging. Leaving my life behind was something I would do if Zach and my mom's life depended on it!

"Well, it's your choice, become normal and move away, or be alone with no more friends and family. We'll leave you to your dinner, but if you even try to slip this little meeting out to your boyfriend, well that dress will be red instead of black.

I gasped at that. How could he be so cruel? I was filling up with anger now, I wanted to punch him. But if I did, everyone could die. I can't take that chance.

"So I suggest you go meet up with him, say your goodbye, and then to make things easier, I wouldn't go back to the academy. They wouldn't let you leave. That Goode boy will have a tough time letting go too, so I would make it quick and leave right away. Leave with the things your wearing. I have a ticket waiting for you at the air port. The name's under Victoria Jenson. Enjoy your evening and I hope we don't see each other again, because well, you get it."

And with that all the men pulled away, the cars too. I was left standing alone in the street. I started to cry. I didn't know what to do. That evil man was right, Zach wouldn't let me go, but I had to see him. I wanted and needed to see him before I go. He was the most important person to me, he was my other half. I loved him. I went to my car and got in. Even though I knew it wouldn't work, I put the keys into the ignition and the car didn't work. I had my first breakdown right there. I hit the steering wheel and cried because I was scared and didn't know what to.

Since being the spy I am, I have a clock inside my head so I always know what time it is. It was 8:07. I was 7 minutes late for my date and Zach is probably worried by now because everyone knows that a Gallagher Girl is never late. I started to walk into town, leaving my car behind, just like I was about to do with everything else. I was still crying but not as much as before. Right now it's just sniffling. I reach the restaurant that we were supposed to be eating at and see Zach worried. He was facing the window but he kept looking around the dining area, expecting me to pop out anywhere. I try to fix my hair and makeup that is now ruined because of the tears, and walk in.

The moment Zach saw me he looked relieved but then went back to concenerned because he saw that I had been crying. I walk over to where he was sitting, but I didn't sit.

"Cammie what's wrong?" Zach asks in a caring voice that I know he only uses with me. At this thought I start to cry again. He gets up and comes to comfort me. I knew it would be harder to stay away from him if he touched me because he had that effect on me, but I let him hold me in his arms.

"Perhaps we skip the dinner. Lets go for a walk." I say in between sniffles.

He grabs his coat but he looks like he wished the night had gone differently. We walked for a while, just in silence. When we got to the Gazebo we stopped.

This gazebo, I used to go with Josh to hang out, he was the townie I dated.

"Cammie, please tell me what's wrong." He pleaded. He was starting to get scared. I was crying again. He pulled me into a hug and held me and let me cry for 1 minute and 10 seconds. I pulled away.

"Zach, I can't do this anymore."

"Do you mean break-up?"

"It's just I think we should take some time apart."

"But Cammie, everything was going so well. I love you."

"I know but-….. I just can't." There were so many tears going down my face. It was then that I noticed he was crying too. I didn't want to hurt him. I loved him. I didn't want to leave, but I have to.

"Cammie, did I do something wrong? I'll change I promise, I love you." he pulled a small black box from his pocket. "See Cammie, I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Oh my god. That's why tonight was so important and all of my frineds were excited. Zach was going to propose! How can I say no? I love him, but I have to protect everyone, including him. I was doing this for him.

"I love you too, but it's not that simple-"

"What's simpler, you love me and I love you. Or is there someone else?" When he said this, I saw hurt and uncertainty in his eyes, even more hurt then before. The only way to convince him was to go along.

"Yes, there is someone else. Goodbye Zach." It hurt to walk away. I wanted to run back to him and say it was all just a misunderstanding. But I couldn't and how could I even face him after that, he sank to the steps of the gazebo and sat down and he was crying, so was I, but there was no turning back. I kept looking forward and walked away from my life.
