Chapter 1

Cammie POV:

Yay! It's junior year! Another year with new beginnings and new missions. Also, a year without boys, Blackthorne Boys. No more confusion and no more complications. That's what I thought but the world had another idea…

"OMG!!!" Bex screamed. She jumped on top of me, I was lying on my bed with Bex on top of me now. She was followed into the room by Liz and Macey. These are my three best friends.

We all attend Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. It's a school for spies. Well, technically, geniuses. If you have a Level Four clearance, then you probably know all about our school. Our cover is one of the top boarding schools located in Roseville, Virginia. If you don't have that kind of clearance, then you probably think we're school for a bunch of snooty rich brats. One look at our gorgeous mansion and manicured lawns, you'll totally get that impression. Plus, every school year a line of limousines travel into town leading to our school. Those are our rides. But this year, not only were there limousines there were also vans that said Blackthorne Institute.

"Oh my freakin' god!" shouted Bex.

"Take a breather Bex." I replied.

"The Blackthorne Boys are here again," said Bex.

"Yeah, I heard they're staying here for the whole semester," Liz added.

I was expecting something from Macey but when I looked over to her she was filing her nails as if this subject bored her. Which it actually did from the expression on her face. (And you also have to know her really well.)

"Look, the vans are here," said Liz.

I looked out the window, and sure enough there were vans outside parked next to our limousines.

"I can't wait to see Grant again," said Bex, she had a very excited look on her face.

"Yeah, and I want to see Jonas, too," said Liz excitedly.

"What about you Cammie? Excited to see Zach?" questioned Liz.

"I guess, " I replied.

"What do you mean you guess? It's either a no or yes!" said Bex.

"Well, I mean Zach didn't try to contact me or anything. He kissed me at the end of last year and he doesn't even bother to contact me at all." I cried, almost shouting.

"That's normal behavior for teenage boys, even if they are spy boys. Same thing goes for them too," reasoned Macey.

I was surprised at Macey. Normally she doesn't say anything. I didn't realize she was listening, okay, who am I kidding? She's always listening, though she acts like she isn't.

"Don't worry, Zach will come around," said Macey.

"Okay," I replied back.

"Let's go down to dinner. It's almost time," said Liz.

"Yeah, I'm starved," said Bex.

Typical Bex, she's always hungry.

We all dressed into our uniforms, this year, blue and white. We headed down the grand staircase. As we entered the dining hall, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. I automatically looked up, and ended up staring into a pair of bright green eyes. I willed myself to look away. I sat down with my friends and classmates. My mother, the headmistress began,

"Women of the Gallagher Academy, who comes here?" she asked.

Just then, every girl at every table (even the newbies) stood and said in unison, "We are the sisters of Gillian."

"Why do you come?" my mother asked.

"To learn her skills. Honor her sword. And keep her secrets."

"To what end do you work?"

"To the cause of justice and light."

"How long will you strive?"

"For all the days of our lives," we finished.

We all sat down. My mother remained standing.

"Welcome! Our returning students and the new ones that arrive. This semester will be a very special one. Last year, the Blackthorne Institute for Boys had the chance to visit Gallagher and this following year they have come back again. I hope that you girls will take this time to interact with each other and become future friends. Have a wonderful evening!" my mother said.

Everything was still and silent in one moment, and in the next the hall become alive with activity and chatter.

"Cammie, I heard you and Zach a fling over the summer. Is that true?" asked Tina, one of my sisters but not the most trustful one. She can spread a rumor in a nanosecond.

"No, Tina. I had no contact with Zach or anyone during the whole summer." I replied.

"Oh," said Tina, turning back to talk to her cronies.

"Ignore her, she can't get enough of information to spread around," joked Bex.

I cracked a smile. It's true. As long as there's something that's scandalous or mildly interesting, Tina will spread it around like wildfire.

"Cammie!" shouted Bex.

"What?" I asked.

"Look," replied Bex, pointing at something.

I turned towards Bex's finger and where it was pointing. She was pointing at the boys' table. I saw Tina talking to Zach. From the expression on his face, it looked like Tina was talking about me to him. Zach looked up at me and smirked. God, I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face!

I turned back around.

"Cammie, are you okay?" asked Liz, she looked worried.

"Yeah," I said, trying to smile.

"Right," said Bex, "I know exactly what you need."

"Bex, no!" I cried, I knew when Bex had an idea it's usually a bad one.

"Don't worry, Macey is going to help me," replied Bex.

I looked at Macey. She was wearing a devious smile. Uh-oh. That doesn't look good.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just wait and see," said Macey, deviously.

This is not going to end up well.
