I know that Zach doesn't come into Cammie's life until I Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy, but he did exist and this is my version of Zach's life before Cammie. Enjoy and please review!
Disclaimer: Even though I would love to the characters in this fanfic Zach, Grant, Jonas, Joe Solomon, and Dr. Steve belong to Ally Carter.
Chapter 1: A Fresh Start
Zach's POV
"Jonas Anderson?"
"Here"
"Elias Bellens?"
"Here"
Taking role was always one of my least favorite parts of school, but now for the first ever I think I paid attention to the names and the faces they belonged to. I had always thought it was pointless until my mother transferred me to a new school after a close family friend suggested it.
My new school is a school like no other. It's the Blackthorne Institute for Troubled Boys. Now don't get me wrong, even though my past is troubled it in no way caused my going to an institution. Nope, the institution I go to is merely a cover for a school, a school for assassins.
More names pass by and I wonder which of the boys in the room around me will be my roommates. Blackthorne doesn't assign roommates until the fourth week of school. Their reasoning is that 75% of the students in this classroom won't be here by the end of the third week of bootcamp.
I zone back into paying attention to my surrounds as just before my name gets called.
"Grant Farley?"
"Here"
"Zachary Goode?"
"Here" I say detachedly while I begin to consider the boys around me. The first boy whose name was called doesn't look like he'll last very long. Jonas was smaller than the rest of the boys, he barely looked like he weighed a hundred pounds. He looked like he would be the first to drop out or worse, be kicked out. I wonder if I'll make it through. Some of the others in the room look much stronger, but they don't have what I have. They don't have a legacy in this line of work.
