Chapter One: Watch Out Bethany, Here Come the Gallagher Girls

A/N

Hi everybody! Thanks for checking out my story! I'm Beth, and this is my first ever fanfic, even though I have read a ton! So please don't be too mean, and help me out with some constructive criticism. If the story goes as planned, it will all be in Cammie's POV, but no promises!

Randomness: If he catches you looking, just remember, he was looking back. ;)

"Cameron Ann, if you don't get your butt up right now, I swear I won't hold back! Come on Cam, it's important!" screamed Bex really loudly in my ear.

"Ugh, Bex! Nothing can be this important at 6:58 AM on a Saturday," I mumbled in reply, even though I had already consented and got my butt out of bed. There was no use in arguing with Bex, especially if you didn't want to start your day being beaten senseless by Gallagher's most abusive roommate/best friend. "Macey? Liz? Is ANYONE going to side with me?"

Yes, when I say Macey, I do mean Macey McHenry, as in the senator's daughter. And yes, she truly is a Gallagher Girl, my best friend, and Bex, Liz, and my roommate. Though she isn't much like the cover that everyone in the U.S. knows, one thing is true, she loves clothes and makeup, and as I know too well, to makeover her best friends. Oh joy! It's such a great gift! NOT. It's awful. Should be illegal. Pure torture.

"Sorry Cam, but you're going to love this! Plus, it takes time to bring out your total gorgeousness, and I'd like to get started asap," replied Macey, already heading over to the closet.

"Liz?" I asked, my third best friend, who is a computer genius.

"I'd give up Cam. Their minds are set. And face it, they always make you look sooooo pretty! Uh, oh! Oopsie Daisies!" Liz yelped, tripping over the charging cord attached to her high-tech laptop. Oh, Liz. You've got to love her!

Sighing, I stumble into the shower. Mere minutes later, when I walked back out wrapped in just a towel, our room had turned into a warzone! Clothes, makeup, accessories, shoes, and spy gear were strewn everywhere, and Macey and Bex were consulting each other on the color of something or other.

They hadn't yet realized I was standing there, so I took the time to observe the situation. Macey and Bex were yelling, and shoving summery clothes into the multitude of suitcases out on the beds, and Liz was gathering up spy gadgets and computer gear; putting it into special duffel bags that were made out of protective materials. Wait. Back up. Suitcases? Duffel bags? What's going on here? Something was up here.

"Um guys? What's going on? Why are you packing? And what am I supposed to be wearing?"

"Oh, hey Cammie! You're finished in the shower already?" Macey babbled.

"Well yeah, not everyone takes thirty-five minute showers like you do Mace!" I replied, rolling my eyes. "What's going on? Seriously, answer for real this time."

"Your mom said she wanted to tell you herself, it's a surprise! And she wants us all to meet her by the front doors by 8:00 sharp. It's 7:12 already, so you should really be getting ready, like right now!" and with that Macey shoved me into the little dressing area adjacent to our closet, where an outfit was already hanging on the handle of my bureau waiting for me.

I grabbed it and slipped it on, barely glancing at it before turning to look into a full length mirror. Surprisingly I looked pretty dang good. I was wearing a long-ish orange striped shirt and dark wash denim short shorts, not slut short, but shorter than I was used to. There was also a charcoal grey hoodie and designer orange flip flops. Macey finally gave me something I mite actually wear!

I walked back into the room to an eerie calm. I'm guessing it was just the eye of the storm.

"Ooh la la Cam. That looks great on you!" cried Bex as I grabbed their attention once again. "Now come over here so Liz can fix your hair and I can do your makeup."

Once they finally let me look in the mirror I was truly shocked at how great I looked. Liz had braided my shorter layers into a headband type thing and then pulled the rest of my hair into a messy low side bun. Bex had given me light natural makeup that shimmered around my eyes. She also gave me some of the pink grapefruit lip gloss that she knows I just love.

Once we were all ready, we went to wait by the front doors. Being so close to the place where Zach kissed me made my stomach ache. I missed him so much. I wonder when I'll see him again. Just then my mom walked over.

"Good morning girls, Glad to see you're all packed and ready," Mom greeted us.

"Um, Mom? Where exactly are we going?

"Well, Cam, you are going to go to your grandparents' old house in Bethany Beach, Delaware. It has been passed down to you. You are getting the last month of school off, though you will be emailed assignments regularly. There may or may not be a CoveOps mission, and you may or may not be joined by others," she told me. I'm sure I was standing there looking like a fool with my mouth hanging open.

As my mom ushered us out to the limo and said goodbye, I began to get excited. All of my summers up until I was fourteen were spent there and it's one of my favorite places on Earth. I wonder if my old best friends and ex-boyfriends will be there and recognize me. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
