What if Zach really was part of the Circle before he met Cammie? What if she was the only one that knew? What if the Chameleon really did disappear?
Cammie's P.O.V.
The Blackthorn boys were still here. Bex and Grant, Liz and Jonas, and Macey and Nick are all couples now. That leaves me with Zachary Goode. My friends keep saying we should "hurry up and get together already." As if I would fall for the guy that is trying to kill me. Last month I found out that Zach was part of the Circle of Cavan. They were a terrorist group and I was their current target. Lots of their recruits come from Blackthorn, and Zach's mother just so happens to be one of their leaders.
Every time I try to tell someone though, I am never heard. The girls are so caught up with their boyfriends; they're all they ever talk about anymore. Especially lately, I feel as if I really am disappearing. My Aunt Abby and favorite teacher Joe Solomon are also a couple while my mother has been preoccupying herself with mountain-loads of work to forget about my father.
Ultimately, I am alone.
"Hey there Gallagher Girl." A shiver goes through my body when I hear the smirk in that bothering voice, but with all my years as a spy I do not let it show.
"What do you want Zachary?" I ask with an annoyed voice and emotionless mask.
"Geez stop calling me that and just call me Zach already."
"Deal with it Goode."
My internal clock tells me its dinner time. Through the corner of my eye I see my best friends and their boyfriends laughing with love in their eyes. They seem happy.
I really am disappearing. I doubt that if I leave no one will notice. They will probably just think that I am being the Chameleon to not be seen.
The days come and go; we have a few missions for Cov Op's but it isn't the same when your group won't stop talking about boys even on com units. At least they stopped teasing me about being with Zach. But that kind of makes me feel worse. Although were roommates and we see each other every day, the only times they talk to me is when were on a mission or need me to do something. I can no longer get a single word into their conversations.
It was about mid December now, almost Christmas. I won't be going anywhere during the winter break, so it will be the same as all the other days except I have nothing to preoccupy myself with. After 7 minutes of wandering around in the halls while everyone else is at dinner, a hand grabs me from behind and gags me before I can defend myself.
Well this is just great.
3 MONTHS LATER
I'm practically covered in blood, sweat, and dirt. I finally escaped from the torturing of the Circle. Now I am the Chameleon with people and surroundings. I'm finally at the front gate of the Gallagher Academy; it's my only option to go to if I want to be any bit safe. I found a few Circle agents staked outside of Mr. Solomon's safe house already.
I know that inside they are probably having a code red since I'm not supposed to be here. I'm supposed to be dead. It feels like hours until someone finally comes outside. It's my mother.
She runs down the long driveway and helps me get inside to find the whole school staring at me. I would have been embarrassed from all the attention if I was in a better condition. It seems the Blackthorn boys are still here. I see almost every face I know except for the ones I actually want to see.
Adrenaline suddenly courses through my veins as I pull away from my mother and look around in a frantic. "Where are they? What happened?" I quickly ask her.
Seven figures come strolling down the staircase and I finally see them. They are safe. The Adrenaline leaves my body again and I become very weak. My mother catches me before I fall to the ground. Then the world turns black.
