Cammie POV
" My name is Cameron Morgan, also known as the Chameleon. Here at Gallagher Academy you will acquire a code name of your own along with special training. It will be your decision of you are going to work in the field, attacking a foreign embassy or at the computer, hacking into N.A.S.A code," That is where Bex's laughter cut me off. I looked down to see her sprawled on the floor with hysteric giggles escaping her lips. (I know! Bex giggling? What was the world coming to?) Behind her, sitting cross-legged on my bed, Liz was snorting and turning the shade of cotton candy. She was vigorously shaking her head, trying (and failing) to block out what I was saying. Now that was insulting seeing as this wasn't my idea in the first place.
As my mouth opened again to continue they both screamed NO and lunged for me. This situation ended with Bex pinning me to the ground while Liz tried to compose herself while addressing me. Obviously it wasn't working because she barely managed to choke out a few sentences.
" Sorry, but you sound to much like a commercial add or a spokes person when you do that. Why do you have to do this again? It is just going to be ridiculed and laughed at." After that she broke down again and was rolling on the floor.
Bex was actually managing to act civilized beside the fact that she had me in a choke hold, that I couldn't breath in let alone speak out my opinion in, while lying on the ground. I tried to open my mouth to give as much as a horse whisper as an answer but Bex beat me to the question announcing to Liz, "All she knows is that Solomon asked her to record it and seeing that Solomon is her godfather, how could she refuse?"
Liz nodded with understanding, as Bex was letting me up from my prison like confinement. This gave me the perfect opportunity to cut in with corrections.
"I do to know why he wants it." I shot out. "The recording is going to be used as a training guide for the new recruits on Friday. And unfortunately that is tomorrow so I only have until dinner to give it to him!" I was practically screeching now as Bex pulled me down on the fuzzy carpet floor so she could rub my tense shoulders. When she was finished I felt sluggish.
Bex must have used her famous pressure points on me. Hazily, my brain began to calculate my foot positioning so I could flip her, but before I had been able to begin the flipping process, Macey McHenry burst through the door. We all gasped. Her hair was frazzled, jeans muddied and her right sleeve torn clear off. He feet were bare and dirty. (We didn't want to know what had happened to her shoes.) It took all of us 3.7 seconds to snap out of the trance that her be muddled state had thrown on us. Macey was gasping in air as if she just sprinted twenty miles. (We could all sprint 10 miles without breaking a sweat but at twenty we start to give just a little.)
"Macey," Bex stretched every word. "What did you do now?" We were all astonished because even in her filthy appearance she beamed with glee as if she were on the cover of teen Vogue. (Not that she hasn't been before.)
It was my turn to speak seeing that Liz was just bugging her eyes out with a terrified expression and I doubted she could speak. "Did you break into the FBI? Because I swear my mom cant bail you out of jail every time you do something illegal."
"Gosh, I didn't do anything illegal Cammie, relax a little." She gestured carelessly with her arm that I noticed had faint purplish bruises coming on. Ever since she had entered the room though she hadn't stopped bouncing up and down. All she did was repeat the words, THEY ARE COMING! THEY ARE COMING!
"Macey!" we all blurted out just to make her shut up. She looked at us a little hurt and annoyed.
"Fine, fine but anywho, you know how new recruits are coming tomorrow right? And you know they are classified right? And how we have to be at every class because half of our teachers are not going to be there?" We were acting like freaky little bobble head with our nodding. This was getting really annoying so I showed her my look that said I was about to interrupt so she began to speed up to the point. "And you know how,"
"MACEY!" We yelled at her.
"FINE! They are going to have the Blackthorn sophomores come and help us teach classes for the next few months until the teachers come back from the mission or what ever they are on at the moment. WE will be in charge!"
We all stared at her as if she had three heads and blue skin. "But," Liz stuttered. Bex was able to finish the sentence for her. "How do you know that?"
Nobody had told me any of this and I was the daughter of the head mistress. I was the Chameleon! It was my job to know these things! Heck I was a spy and this is how far I get compared to Macey?
Her answer was simpler than I thought it would be. "I bugged your mom's office, the cafeteria, and Mr. Solomon's class room. It took fore-e-ever but I finally managed to do it without getting caught. I've been keeping tails on each room and every conversation." She looked proud and I had to admit that I was pretty impressed myself. Macey had just recently learned how to bug a room and now she was sneaking into the most secure places in school and placing them like a professional. If Macey ever turned evil we were all in trouble.
"Wow." Was all I could say to that. Looking at Bex and Liz's faces showed me that they were thinking the same thing.
Liz being the brainiac was the first to snap out of it and talk, "What happened to your outfit? Your hair needs miracle work! And how did you even get so dirty by planting bugs?"
Macey shrugged. "It took a while to get into the place and I couldn't just walk in the door." She was then shooed into the bathroom by an impatient Liz. AS the door closed behind them Bex turned to me the same moment I turned to her. We only had to look at each other for a split second for us to think the same thing.
"WE SHOULD GO FIND THOSE BUGS!"
Two minutes later Bex and I were strolling down the hallways, making our way to the cafeteria. How were we going to get those bugs without people noticing? We were still both wondering how in the world Macey could have done this at all. But why did she bug the cafeteria? It made no sense to either of us. All she was going to pick up from there was random garbage. That is when it hit me straight in the gut.
Macey loved one thing in the world. Gossip. Bex must have figured it out as well for she and I both burst out laughing. Right then as we were turning the corner we ran into no one but Joe Solomon who gave us a strange look. We hadn't stopped cracking up but we were trying to compose ourselves.
After 28 seconds of staring at each other he just shrugged and continued on saying, "ladies…" Before we knew it he had disappeared and we continued jogging toward the head mistress's office. Better than going to the Cafeteria since we could just let Macey have her fun there. Once outside I waited for any sound that could tell me someone was near. Nothing. I gave Bex the go and I slipped in the room.
I had been here dozens of times but never to find bugs. I felt dirty. It took me only 5 minutes to find all the bugs that totaled to 39. How mom and Solomon didn't find these I couldn't have guessed. Rejoining Bex in the hallway we continued on to the other room finding another 51. This girl didn't pack light. When we were headed toward the door on our way out we stopped short. Voices were coming from the others side and were steadily growing louder.
In a flash I towed Bex to the far wall looking for a panel I had discovered the previous year. As the knob on the door turned I undid the clasp and we slid in the 3 by 3 space. Not the best hiding spot for two teenage girls. Our lungs felt like they were about to burst when we heard the first voices. There were four people in the room and they were taking unpacking things. Who would need to put something in Solomon's classroom?
"Hey man do you think the girls will be surprised by us coming?" Grant asked. Bex twitched at his sound and I grabbed her wrist motioning to be quiet.
"I don't know man. These girls usually have all the aces up their sleeves. They aren't amateurs." I almost gasped as Bex's hand flew on my mouth. We were covering each other's mouths by now. Zach had spoken then. We stared at each other in amazement. That is when an unfamiliar voice interrupted.
"What ever man we can surprise them at dinner. That is when Mr. Solomon will be announcing us isn't it?" Bex and I just looked confused at each other as Jonas chimed in. "Come on I am starving let's just go. I hear they are serving Mexican food. For some reason though we are speaking Italian though."
Only Jonas would know that. I heard some murmured grunts of agreement and the door closing on their way out. Bex and I burst from the confinement area gasping for breath.
All we could think of then was racing back to the dorm and telling Macey and Liz. Excitement flew throughout my mind thinking of the semester but then one thing clouded my happiness. Where the Blackthorn Boys going to be teaching with us?
