A/N: This chappie HAS been edited (just some minor things) to fit where the storyline will go later. I just thought it would make more sense to do things this way. I am editing chapter 3 and will re-post soon, followed by chapter 4. I promise to be more regular with posting and apologize for the horribly long wait.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters from the Gallagher Girls series, only Ally Carter is that amazing.

Chapter 2: Inside Blackthorne

"Wake up sleepyheads," a voice sounded in our room.

"Liz," I groaned "can't it wait?"

"Not if you want to eat breakfast before we leave," she replied.

"Fine," I moaned. Of course, Bex and Macey were already getting themselves ready to meet the Blackthorne boys once again. I got out of bed and threw on something practical, definitely not what Macey would have me wear. Breakfast today was French toast and bacon, but it was different not to be spending the end of summer here with the new students.

A long black van with no windows in the back came to drive us to Blackthorne. They don't want us to know how to find this place. The lack of scenery made it hard for everyone to keep their minds off meeting the Blackthorne boys again.

"Macey, there is nothing between me and Zach." I stated indignantly when she asked me how much I missed him. I don't miss Zach. That cocky smile and the way he used to call me Gallagher Girl made his head swell. Then he just thinks he can kiss me knowing I wouldn't see him for at least the entire summer.

"Whether you want to admit it or not, you like Zach. He didkiss you, and I didn't see you objecting to it," she stated matter-of-factly.

"He really likes you Cammie. Why else would he kiss you?" Liz added.

"Maybe he's just using me. He could be a honeypot," I replied.

"You miss seeing him smile and him calling you Gallagher Girl all the time," Macey stated.

She must have been listening on the comms. Did I have any privacy? If she knew this, maybe she was right about me liking Zach. I won't let her have the satisfaction of knowing that, though. Luckily, I could feel the van start to pull up what could be a long driveway. Then the van stopped; at least this means I'm safe from Macey, for now.

"Finally," Bex yawned.

"Welcome to the Blackthorne Academy for Exceptional Young Boys, home of this summer's CIA Summer Spy Workshop," our driver, probably a CIA employee, said. "Please follow me inside for a welcome lunch."

As we walked in, I finally noticed that Blackthorne was a mansion, somewhat like Gallagher Academy. Inside, the building was modern in style. The hall we were led to was the only thing that reminded me of a nineteenth-century mansion. Bex, Liz, Macey and I looked around once we entered to find seats.

We ended up sitting a few tables down from the boys. Then I noticed that my nightmare had come true. Zach was there. Grant and two other very cute boys I'd never met sat with them.

"Welcome again to the CIA's Summer Spy Workshop. I am Mr. Rochester, and I will be one of your instructors here this summer. It is a great honor for all of us to be here this day. The skills we will be teaching you would not have been taught at your schools. The information is top secret, and so we only chose a few spies who could be trusted with it.

As for accommodations, ladies will be staying in a separate wing. Gentlemen will be staying in their usual quarters. This afternoon will be free for the gentlemen to show the ladies around the grounds," a voice from the head table said. "Right now, it is time for lunch."

* * *

No one from either of the tables has gotten up to introduce themselves. Here comes Grant, though.

"You ladies already know Zach and me," he said, "and these two are Jason and David."

"Hi," Jason said. He was cute with short and spiky dark hair and with a muscular build.

"Hi, I'm David, but you can call me Dave if you'd like," David said, eyeing us. He was cute, but his hair was a little longer, and almost blonde. I somehow felt that he was looking at me the most. Zach still hasn't said a word. Macey, Bex, Liz and I then stumbled to introduce ourselves to these very cute boys.

Grant, very annoyed by this, then asked, "Are we going to start the tour?" This made me snap back to reality.

"Yes, let's," David said, and he began to lead us around. Secretly I hoped that Zach would start talking once we were away from those teachers.
