I walked down the streets of Roseville at night because what else am I to do? The fall days were coming to an end and winter would come soon, too soon if you ask me. I walked out of town and onto the highway 10 to Gallagher academy for the Exceptional Youth. It used to be Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies or something like that, then a huge fire explosion destroyed it. A few years back Cameron Morgan and Zach Goode took over as headmaster and mistress of the school. Now allowed both boys and girls to go.

Oh, you're wondering who I am and why I'm going there. Names Kana, Kana with no last name, I'm what you call a street rat or thief. I've been living that way since my parents left me alone with nobody to turn to. No relatives to take me in, no grandparents from either side. I'm homeless and broke. Life's tough if you don't know what you're doing or where you are. I learned my skills on my own, come naturally if you ask me. My hand could go and take your money and you would stand there wondering what the weather was going to be like tomorrow. Yep, I'm that good.

I had seen the building begin to rise on the horizon. I moved to the side and onto the grass and used a secret passageway that I found yesterday and climbed in. I was about to do what no one in this whole history of the world had ever done. Get into Gallagher Academy without getting caught or being in their snooty program. Dumb richies won't know what hit em. Wanna know why I'm doing this? Cause my mom went here and that school made my mom the type of person that leaves their kid. Now I'm gonna get them back for ruining my life before it even begun. I'm gonna take the most valuable item I can find and steal it and destroy it into a million pieces! Then put those pieces into a box and send it to them with a card that says. ' Here's your thing you lost, broke it Signed my name.' and laugh.

The school didn't start for another few weeks or so, so this was a great time to put my plan into action. The tunnel was still dusty but that was cool with me. This place had a high security before but now it was like they were hiding an entire secret government in there. It was impossible for a bird to fly over it without having fifty gazillion security cams trailing it. Hard for a simple street rat? Nah, I could do this in my sleep. I'm not kidding you. Put me in a labyrinth and make me do it once. Make me do it three months later and I could do it with my eyes closed, got a good memory in my noggin.

The halls were quiet as the quietest this on earth. Clean and dustless. There was a light coming from one of the rooms and I decided to steal from whoever was in there. That'll angrier them even more. I pulled myself up to the vents and saw that they made it look impossible to get in but I have the hacking skills of a spy. I reached the firewall quicker than expected. I moved through it easily with my small body and I heard voices.

"So this was your room girls?" a male voice said.

"Zach you've been here before." said a British voice.

"Man there's so much dust here." said another voice.

"Cam there's ah-ah."

"Ah what Liz." the other girl's who I think is Cam asked.

"SPIDER!" Liz yelled and there was a thump as someone killed it. The British laughed and Liz complained. "You were scared to Bex!" she yelled and I mentally laughed. There was a knock on the door and Bex argued with Liz in the background.

"Hey Cam, Zach. What are they fighting about?" the new voice asked.

"Hey Macey, spider scared the both of them," Cam said and the two yelled in the background. "Was not." like little children.

I peeked down the small holes of the vent and down to the room and saw the people there. One was fighting with another. Bex and Liz. I found out that Liz was very thin and blonde; she had a southern accent and Bex was beautiful. Her tan skin glowed in the light of the small room and her brown hair was cool too.

Macey was talking with Cammie and compared to Macey Cammie wasn't that good looking. Macey had the most beautiful pair of blue eyes and black hair. Her fair skin could compare with Bex's. Cammie's brown hair was a bit of a caramel color and Zach's was brown-ish too. He was taller of course and finally, Bex and Liz came over to talk to Macey and then I remembered where I've seen her before. Macey McHenry, the senator's daughter.

The girls talked and went to the bathroom for a steam bath and Zach left to check how his kids were doing. When he left I followed him to the end of the hall and then went back to the girls. Steam was coming from a different vent and I dropped soundlessly into the vent I looked in before. The room had four beds and there were bags which belonged to Macey, Cammie(Cameron), Liz(Elizabeth), and Bex(Rebecca).

All four of them chattered away in the bathroom like there wasn't a thief at their mists. Boy, they were in for a surprise. The night seemed so strange from out the window and then I heard the doorknob from the bathroom move. "Where are you going Mace?" Cam asked. Yeah, what are you doing?!

"Just putting my phone to charge, I'm expecting a call from you-know-who," Macey said and a daydream voice and the door opened a crack and I dove for the door but then that one was opening too. "Ladies I'm coming in for a sec, forgot my keys in here." Zach's voice said and I freaked.

Both exits lost. I jumped on the bed and got back up to the vent but the lid fell off and I fell with it. Both of them opened their doors immediately as soon as they heard the crash. The girls piled out with towels on and Zach blew in too. They gasped when they saw me and Liz screamed and pointed at my shoulder. " Cockroach!" she yelled and fainted.

One down, four more to go. Zach lunged for me first and I got a good hit on the gut for him and he held his side and looked surprised at me. Macey was next and then Cam, and last Bex to go down for a few seconds but that was all I needed to book-it outta there.

I zoomed down the stairs like a rocket and they were hot on my tail so I jumped off mid-step. The landing was not one of my best but I was now ahead by a bunch. But I didn't expect the random teenager to round the corner with a confused look and say. "Whats going on-" But he was cut off short because we crashed and our lips met. Just great, because I so needed to crash into a boy and have my first kiss like that! I fell on top of him and our lips blew apart quickly because I got off and because I am a street rat with manners I said, "Sorry." and ran off in another direction but Zach cut me off. He had his legs spread out so I slid between too fast for him to notice and ran face to face with a wall.

Way to go sport, you messed up on your only chance for revenge. That right ya blew kid, ya blew it like the fourth of July. Just what I need. Getting busted and having my first kiss with someone I didn't even know. Now I'm stuck in an empty classroom with Zach as he interrogated me. Liz wrote everything about me down and Macey guarding the door with Cam and Bex by my side.

"Go on, tell Zach what you were doing here and you can get out and forget this ever happened." They were no longer in towels of course. I stayed quiet. At a girl Kana, do the old can't make me talk thing. Then they'll call the cops and while I'm in the cop car I can steal the car. Zach sighed and put his hands on the desk before me.

"What do you know about Gallagher Academy?" he asked calmly and I smiled. They never said no trash talking. Tell the truth. "I know things that you wouldn't want the public to know," I said and Zach laced emotion but that didn't stop Cammie's eyebrows to go up.

"Zachary Goode, age: Don't care, Hight: about six feet. Son of the freak who burned the original east wing of this school for rich saps and the idiot who is the headmaster." I said and Zach's eyebrows flew up at the mentioning about the east wing. The truth was I didn't know he was the guy who was related to the freak who burned it. All I knew was that the woman had a son but who knew it was this guy.

"What else do you know?" Bex pushed, she didn't have a pause button on her. "I know that you're British." then I added with a fake accent. "What ho, the British are coming the British are coming." and laughed at her enraged expression. Liz got impatient and stabbed a needle into me. I suddenly felt all woozy and then Bex said again.

"Tell us everything you know about this place." and I kept my mouth shut. I felt like I was going to explode, beyond my will the words crashed against my mouth wishing to get out and tell them. "Liz, how much was that?" Cam asked and Liz looked at the needle and her eyes went wide. "Um, 12," she said too quickly and Zach took it away. And even he gasped. "This is way too much Liz!" Cam read out loud the number. "20, the real question is how is she resisting."

Then like a tsunami hit me the words flow out. "All I know is that Gallagher my mom went to. She knew all these languages and cool things so I always wondered what was the truth. One day when I was like 2 and a half I snuck into her study. I found a folder that was telling her to go to HQ and report about my progress. I didn't know what they meant until I realized that that paper was from the CIA. I found out that my mom was a spy and my dad caught me. I ran out of the house and guessed that Gallagher was a school for spies. The CIA made me forget my memory but I somehow remembered. Three days later, a few hours after my birthday my mom was crying and dad was too. I went to sleep that night and woke up in the morning in an empty house.

"My mom and dad gone, they had no living parents and no siblings for me to go to so I had to live on my own. I ended up in Roseville three years ago. I found out that Gallagher wasn't too far away so I planned my revenge." I roared uncontrollably. Tears fell from my eyes. I closed them and before I did I saw the guy from earlier come in and his eyes widened at the sight of me in the room. Macey stopped him from going in any further. "Revenge for what, what's your name?" Cam asked.

I never felt so pathetic in my life. "I was planning revenge on Gallagher for ruining my life. You guys made my mom the woman she is! So I thought that if I stole something valuable to you guys then broke it. That would be revenge for ruining my family." "What do you mean?" Bex said kinder now. Her voice softened by a lot and I bit my lip not wanting to talk. Then in a flash, there was a shoulder and someone hugging me.

I opened my eyes. It was the boy from before. He held me tight and I hugged him back. For no reason, what am I doing? "I-I had a family before they left, we were happy together." I sobbed and sobbed. "We were a great family. I thought that Gallagher had something to do with ruining my mom and killing the joy and peace we once shared. I was a damn kid for god's sake!" I roared at absolutely no one. The wooziness wore off but the word slipped anyway. Like they were bottled up and that thing helped open them. "But I couldn't help but think that if I hurt you my pain wouldn't hurt as bad, I know it's childish but it was the only thing I could turn to. My only reason to move my feet, I tried to look for them but I quit when it seemed like they just were never there. I'm a street rat, a thief, a nobody, the girl who was thrown like a rag doll in the world's hands. I'm Kana, that the name my parents gave me. I held onto it thinking that maybe wherever they were as they would one day realize that they forgot someone. Me" You couldn't believe the freedom I felt doing that. Saying everything, knowing everything.

I fell asleep after a few more questions like where did you live? Nowhere. How old are you? 15. Did you make contact with anyone before us? Besides the cockroach, Nah. Anti-social. I fell asleep on the desk and we were in the middle of the question of where you ever a spy yourself? I think I am.
