Chapter 1: A New Year

Bex POV

As I walked through the oak front doors of the Gallagher Academy I knew my last year was going to be different. Cammie, my roommate and best friends ran away at the end of junior year. She was 'followed' by her boyfriend Zachary Goode, A Blackthorne boy who I never fully trusted, until she knocked him out and left him on our doorstep.

As I pulled my suitcase up the stairs and wheeled it through the door to my suite I shared with Liz, Macey and now no Cammie. I could see that Macey had arrived, considering our wardrobe was filled with her designer clothes. Macey was in the bathroom filling up the shelves with cosmetics, many if which were only legal in Europe. As I dropped my suitcase on my bed Macey came out of the bathroom. She hadn't changed at all. Her diamond nose stud and flawless complexion made her the Macey who was misunderstood by her parents but understood by her hundreds of sisters.

"Hey Macey. How were your holidays?" I asked.

"Fine Bex. As well a fine means spending 3 weeks with Preston, his Spiderman watch and my father." Replied Macey. Macey's father was the senator and Preston was one of her dad's colleague's sons (who had a terrible sense of fashion and always look like he was playing dress up). She sat on her bed with a copy of Vouge magazine.

"Have you heard anything?"

"Nothing." I replied, "She's off the radar. Being a Chameleon." Macey nodded. A thump followed by a

"Whoopsie Daisies." Told us that Liz had just fallen through the door.

"Hi Liz." I said, picking up Liz's laptop that had gone skidding across the floor.

"Bex, Macey!" Liz squealed. "It's good to see you. Where's Cammie?" Liz paused for a second before looking at her feet and saying, "I forgot for just one second and…"

""Liz it's ok, we all miss her. Everyone's worried about her." I said. I glanced over at Cammie's empty bed in the corner of the room. The mattress was propped up against the wall and there were no clean sheets or a quilt. We stood in silence as Liz and I unpacked and Macey filed her nails. Unpacking can take a long time, especially when doing so in silence.

Tina Walters stuck her head through the door, "Hey everyone. Have a nice holiday? Where's Cammie?" she said through snapping her gum like a columnist/ spies daughter would.

"It was very pleasant thank you Tina. I don't know where Cammie is but hopefully she'll join us soon." I said in a manner that Madame Dabney would be proud of. Tina, seeing that the conversation was over slipped out the door in search of Anna Fetterman, the only other klutz (next to Liz) at Gallagher Academy. I had nearly finished unpacking when a faint knock came on the door.

"Hello. Is this suite 7C?" Asked a sweet voice. I turned around to see a girl the same age as us with curly blonde hair wearing a new Gallagher Academy uniform. It was Deedee.

"Hi Rebecca! You remember me right? It's Deedee." Said Deedee. It's kind of hard to forget someone like her, especially when you're a spy. "Oh my gosh I can't believe we are going to be roommates."

"Roomates?" I spluttered, "Since when did you go to school here?"

"This is my first day. I got a call from Ms Morgan saying that there was a place available. Apparently someone left the school. Weird to leave before senior year I think. Where's Cammie?"

"Cammie is the drop out, you are taking her place. That's your bed there." I said through gritted teeth. I jerked my thumb at the empty bed. Deedee put the mattress back on the back on the bed and began to unpack. All of her clothes were either pink or so unfashionable that Macey would have but them through a shredder and burned the pieces.

"So Deedee what do you know about Gallagher?" Asked Macey.

"Well, I know you guys have some real-tough curriculum, a lot and I mean a LOT of students take martial arts. You don't have a cheerleading squad and…."

"Ok skip the la la high school stuff and get to the secret." I snapped.

"I know that this is a school for spies."

Tension was in the air at the welcome back dinner. Even though the sign said that we would be speaking English, about 20 different languages were being spoken. I caught several sentences in German that someone had gone skiing talk about boys in Italian and rumours about Cammie in Korean.

"I heard that she was kidnapped by the CIA for interrogation about Josh again." I heard Anna whisper in Korean.

"I heard a certain Blackthorne boy broke up with her and she is now hunting him down with a broken heart." Replied Tina in Indonesian. I stopped listening to their conversation as Ms Morgan made her way to the podium to begin her speech.

"Women of Gallagher Academy, who comes here?" Every girl who was seated at the table stood up and said in unison.

"We are the sisters of Gillian."

"Why do you come?"

"To learn her skills. Honour 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."

As Ms Morgan smiled and motioned for us to sit down I knew that this was going to be the hardest year at Gallagher Academy.
