Chapter 1: The Clean Slate
You know how you wish that just once you could be all by yourself at your school and be able to be free whenever you wish? Well I, Cammie "The Chameleon" Morgan wish just the opposite. I am so bored leading up to the days when finally the other Gallagher Girls come home. They're all away from the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, my boarding school. While I stay at my "exciting" grandparents' ranch in wonderful Nebraska, all the other Gallagher Girls get to go all over the world with their parents destroying evil villains. Even fragile Anna Fetterman is probably scaling the side of the Eiffel Tower with just a hairbrush while she arrests one of Paris' top gunmen.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you one crucial point…Gallagher Academy is a school for spies and my mom is the headmistress. Gallagher's cover to the non-spy part of Roseville, Virginia is that we're just a bunch of snobby, rich heiresses whose precious daddies sent them to one of the top schools in the US. Okay, I know what you're thinking. Since I'm the daughter of the headmistress I always get to know what happens before it happens. But my mom doesn't tell me anything because she expects me to find it out for myself, because duh, I'm a teenage spy in training. That's one of the ups and down of being a teenage girl who's also a spy.
Other cons is when you are forced to keep your non-spy boyfriend a secret, are forced to be around the guy who is practically a rollercoaster, and be forced to show nothing at all when your dad has gone missing in action (MIA) less than five years ago. Anyways, let's not talk about that.
I'm known as The Chameleon because I am known at Gallagher and Blackthorne (Gallagher's all boy sibling school) as a pavement artist which means a spy who can blend into the back round. I know fourteen different languages and have four super spy best friends/roommates.
Name: Rebecca "Bex" Baxter
Age: 16
Hometown: London, England
Talent(s): Could knock anybody whether a huge body builder or a seriously dangerous wanted assassin.
Profile: First ever non-American student at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, toughest and strongest girl at Gallagher, crusher and crushee of Grant Newman of Blackthorn Academy for Exceptional Young Men but is too afraid to show it and best friend/roommate of Cameron Morgan, Elizabeth Sutton, and Macey McHenry.
Name: Elizabeth "Liz" Sutton
Age: 16
Hometown: Alabama
Talent(s): Photographic memory, smart, as in at age 8 she sky rocketed the results of the Official Alabama State Test and at age 9 had NASA begging on their knees to buy her latest microchip.
Profile: Smartest girl at Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women with a GPA of about 10.0, teenage super genius, crusher and crushee of Jonas Williams, has parents who are non-spies and think she's going to a normal boarding school, and roommate/ best friend of Cameron Morgan, Rebecca Baxter, and Macey McHenry.
Name: Macey McHenry
Age: 16
Hometown: Washington, DC (AN: I made up that Macey is from Washington because I didn't know where she was actually from)
Talent(s): Being able to pack all of her clothes in one suitcase. Now I call that a talent because Macey McHenry has so much clothes that they wouldn't fit in the Empire State Building.
Profile: Daughter of the unofficial Senator though she hates it, is now an official Junior because though she came late, is now at the same spy level as the rest of the Juniors, is a crushee of so many guys that we just stopped counting though Macey herself has never really been a crusher, and roommate/best friend of Cameron Morgan, Elizabeth Sutton, and Rebecca Baxter.
Okay, so now you know my friends. Has it finally sunk in that I go to a spy school? Wow, new record. It took Macey about a week.
Anyways, now you know everything, back to the present. Right now I'm in my favourite (AN: Yes I'm from Canada! I spell favourite and colour with a u!) secret passageway which is behind the Gallagher tapestry which no one knows about. I'm just waiting here for the other Gallagher G- whoa! Did I just hear a car screech? Omigosh yes! I forgot Macey always comes early to Gallagher to get away from her insane family. As I watched from the front of Gallagher I saw Macey McHenry come out of her CIA tricked out limo. Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that to keep up with our snobby brats rep, all of the Gallagher Girls come in limos.
"Hi Macey! How was your summer?" I said.
Same old, same old. The Senator is being, no attempting to be nice to me in hopes that I will be nice to the press. Mother is mad at me for not talking to Preston Winters, the President's son. They're the reasons that remind me why I come back early here. How was your summer?" She asked.
"So very, very painfully boring. Mind you, Nebraska doesn't get any better as the years go by."
"You make it sound so amazing."
"I know right" I laughed.
I realized that Macey's bags were so heavy as we were carrying them to our room.
"What do you have in here Mace? 5 anvils and a lipstick tube?"
"No. I actually have 5 anvils and a lip gloss tube. Lipstick is so overrated." Macey joked.
"Hardy har har. " I replied.
"No seriously." She said with a serious face.
It was silent for exactly 1 min 2 s. before we finally cracked up laughing. When we got to the room, I lay on the bed and thought to myself, A clean slate. A new beginning. I'm actually looking forward to the year. It's good to be home.
