Ok so I this is my first fanfiction and don't know how this stuff works, but I think I have to do a disclaimer here saying that all the characters that appear in this story belong to Ally Carter. So I hope you like this. Oh and I live in Australia and so I spell MUM with a 'u' not and 'o' but it still means the same. MUM and MOM

Back to a Surprise

As always I was the first person back from the holidays. Once I finished unpacking I sat at the window and waited for the first of the black limos to arrive. As the first pulled up next to the large mansion my Mum walked in. She spoke to me like I was another pupil not her daughter. I knew it at once, something big was about to happen.

"Cam, I need to talk to you."

My mind was racing, what could she want. Was it about school or maybe something happened to my friends over the summer, or worse, something might have happened to Zach. I hadn't stopped thinking about him all summer; he wasn't like Josh, he new my secrets, even the ones I didn't want him to know. He is all that I ever think about, I don't know what I'd do if something happened to him. I had worked myself into a panic attack I had to know what this was about.

"Mum what is it? Is everyone all right?" my voice was panic stricken, I couldn't breath.

"Cam you need to calm down, this is important." Her voice was unusually calm, it was nice to hear. I was slightly calmer; I focused on my breathing, in and out, in and out. But no matter what I did I still couldn't put my mind at ease. Something was wrong, something Mum knew and I didn't. No one is ever that calm.

"Ok, now I'm calm" I said that not really meaning it, but as a spy one of the things that we learn is how to lie, how to lie well. "Mum, what's the matter, what's wrong" I could feel the panic coming back in to my voice. I knew that if I continued to talk I would not find out what Mum wanted to tell me.

"Cam, nothing is wrong, no one is hurt" a wave of relief washed over me. If nothing was wrong then why did she want to talk to me? Could the boys be coming again, but if they were why was she just telling me, she would announce it at the welcome back dinner. No, this was something that was meant for me, and no one else. It was then that I heard it, the noise that meant that I was no longer alone, I was now one of a hundred girls. The chatter reached my room, the sound of girls telling each other about their summer holidays and how exciting they were. I could tell that Mum had heard it too, she straightened up and looked like a headmistress not a mother. This was not a good sign. "We'll talk later Cam, come to my office tonight." With that she left me, leaving behind more questions than answers.

My head was spinning, what am I going to do, am I in trouble, is Bex, is Marcy, is Liz? Just when I was on the edge of another panic attack I heard a familiar "Oopsy daisy" and I knew Liz was fine. Well maybe a couple of bruises from falling down during summer, but nothing serious. Liz burst into our room immediately claiming the bottom bunk near the window, because although she was a spy she couldn't stop thinking that it was to high. She dumped her bags on the floor near her bed, and ran over to me giving me a bone crushing hug.

"Hey Liz, how was your summer?" something was off in my voice, it was slightly too high and too quick. But Liz didn't notice she started blabbering on about how much she missed everyone and that she broke a few CIA codes. I didn't pay much attention, because it was the same as usual. Same thing every year we all go our separate ways for 6 weeks and then we come back to school and restart our training. Only this year was going to be different, I could feel it, and it had something to do with what my Mum wanted to tell me.

Next person through the door was Marcy. She was greeted with the same bone crushing hug from Liz and a polite smile from me. Unlike Liz, Marcy picked up on my mood, but didn't press it. She just went to the top of Liz's bunk and claimed that as her own. Liz asked her about her holidays and Marcy said something about Milan and her parents dragging her. I really didn't care, its not that it's not interesting, it probably is, but I was too focused on what my Mum wanted. She normally didn't speak to me before school starts, she just lets me unpack by myself and lets me wait for my friends alone.

Before I had time to even register what was going on the door had burst open and Bex was standing in the door frame looking like she was about to pounce. I had no time to move, and before I knew it I was pined on the floor. "You've lost your touch." She said it like it was the most important thing in the world. I did a flip and we both landed on our feet, I started to brush myself off and straighten my uniform out. Bex was pulled into one of Liz's bone crushing hugs and half hearted hug from Marcy. I went back to my window seat and listened to the excited screams from the year 7's, the gossip from Tina, and Liz's minute by minute account of her summer.

The clock told us that it was 7.00 and time for our welcome back dinner. We all made our way down to the grand hall we looked at the sign of the dining room, it said English-Australian. This was going to be interesting, no drought I was greeted with a million "G-Day" and "How's it goin' Mate". The four of us sat down and waited for my Mum to make the speech that she makes every year, after that was over everyone began to talk about what they did in the holidays.

"Ok Cammie, something is wrong, now what is it." I was Bex she had a look on her face saying 'you can tell me anything' I looked over at Liz and Marcy; they had the same look on her face. I couldn't keep it from them for ever so I decided that I should tell them everything that I know.

"Mum wants to talk to me." They looked at me like I was crazy, getting all hyped up because my Mum wanted to talk to me, and maybe.

"Cammie it's just your Mum what's the worst that could happen." This time it was Marcy who spoke, you could tell she hadn't been here long. Being a spy meant several things could happen. People could be dead, Zach could be dead. At that thought I burst into tears. "What did I say?" Marcy's voice was riddled with concern, it shocked me, and made me realise that people were watching us.

"Nothing, Nothing, it's just she didn't want to say it in front of everyone so I think something is wrong." I wiped away the tears hoping no one but my friends had noticed. It worked; everyone was too involved in their own lives to notice me, that is why I'm called the chameleon.

"It could just be a mother daughter talk, me and my Mum have them all the time" Marcy was trying to make up for what she said before. It didn't work.

"But here Mum isn't a normal mum, she's an ex spy, and the Gallagher Girls headmistress. There is nothing normal about her Mum." Bex finished, Marcy's face dropped.

It was Liz who broke the silence, "So what did she say?" As Liz said that I saw Anna's eyes shift towards us, there were people listening, they couldn't know.

"Not here" I whispered, "back at the room." I looked at them, they all nodded in agreement. They wanted to know what was going on almost as much as I didn't.

Hoped you liked reading it. I will continue it no matter what you think because one shots annoy me.
