Chapter 1

I go to Gallagher Academy, which is an all girl's school. You may think that is the worst, having no boys, but the thing is I still don't trust boys…because of my dad…and I don't think I ever will.

I was sitting in the back of the Grand Hall by myself, for now…my best friends were still getting ready for the school day.

We were going onto our third year at Gallagher that made us freshman since we started here in seventh grade and ended as seniors in high school. Finally about five minutes later they stormed into the room both with sullen expressions on their faces. Liz from what I saw was trying to hide it from me at least, maybe the rest of the world too, but I knew at the least she was trying to cover it from me. Bex on the other must have been way too shocked to hide her feelings from the world since I could see it plain on her. They were the only ones (not including every adult in the building) in the whole school that knew about my dad, and my past.

"Hey Cam!" Liz said with a huge smile on face, but I could still see the question in her eyes, it being the first day back from summer break, I had really bad mood swings.

"What did you guys do this summer anyway?" I asked trying to make the expressions on their faces from earlier today, disappear from my mind complete…it didn't work to well. They did show up here last night around midnight-ish so we just said are hello's, I missed yous, and then when to bed….Leaving no time to ask the essential question.

"Oh, you know normal people stuff, hung out with the family, summer job…stuff like that." Liz responds when I realize that I haven't heard from Bex at all, which was really weird.

I look over to her and my counterfeit smile fades she is still ghostly pale. I was pretty sure it was from fear, and it was either for me or of me…or maybe just maybe…both

"What's wrong?" I ask in a monotone voice.

Bex's mouth opens ready to tell me the truth because she knew she couldn't lie to me. Just then my mom walks up to the podium in the front of the room; she says the Gallagher pledge with us, and then says the speech I knew she just made up on the spot.

"Girls, as you all know that as the next generation of female spies, you go to Gallagher Academy, but for the semester we are going to have the other spy school, the one for boys," she says this and the doors bang open to reveal what I guessed where boys…I wouldn't look up though. "Please welcome the boys from Andover Academy for boys!" She finished and she stepped down and stood right by the stage.

I look over to the boys and notice there where fifteen of them, and it was my worst nightmare.

I look at my mom again, and she looks at me with a apologetic look, almost as if she had a secret she wanted to tell me, but wasn't aloud…I knew if anyone else looked at her they wouldn't see that because of the times when dad was in a bad mood, she would send me the few signals and I would just walk right out of the house and sleep over my friends house…or anywhere but home…but when I got back home…it usually was worse than it would have been. Right now it looked like she didn't want the boys here anymore then I did, maybe one specifically…and I was going to find out which one…

I stare the fifteen down, looking at every detail…Then I see the one in the front. He looked so familiar…with his dark hair, emerald green eyes, and he had a know-it-all smirk.

Then, I got it. I slowly seeped into the shadows and became the chameleon, I ran out the emergency exit, which strangely wasn't alarmed for a spy school. I stepped into the bright morning, there were no clouds out now, and I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not, so I just I just walked…in the opposite way from the town.

Before I could go anywhere I had to hop the fence, but once I got to the lake I remembered the one rational thing I could have every thought…We have school today you can't be here … The good and bad thing was that that one thought, won. Even if I did stay for awhile after realizing that we get an hour after lunch since we were still freshman and it stops in sophomore year.

I sat down on the bench by the lake that was only a few minutes away from the school and I think back to my mother's face, when they arrived. It almost looked it almost looked like she was telling me there were still more schools out there…more spy schools…more boy spy schools, and still there was no time to worry about it now though…

Every time a guy passed in a five mile radius of me, I would cringe away, not that they would notice or anything.

When I left school we had at least twenty minutes left of breakfast, and since we were freshman we still had the extra hour to catch up and get used to the idea of the boarding school again, and extra hour, was the up, of being in your first year of high school and 7th grade, your first year here, it was so we could blab about the summer…and I guess now the boys…since we were so excited to have them…as if…

I get up anyway and I remember the greened eyed boy.

I begin walking, and I see a flash of a women smirking…

I started running and saw those greenest of green eyes on a grown man.

My head started hurting as I saw the dead couple being carried away on stretchers.

I slammed the door to my room and ran to my bed, dozing off to sleep as I saw a boy who looked like the one at breakfast, but younger by just a few years…ten maybe, was crying on his bed, trying to look strong but failing.

"Cam where have you been!" Bex yells at me when I wake up, she was sitting on her bed reading an article about that McHenrey girl…Mary I think.

"I was just sleeping…" I was telling her where I knew she had been watching me for the past forty minutes.

"I mean before that!" Bex says a little calmer than before.

"I was just walking down some halls in schools…thinking…" Lie. I lied to one of my best friends, not that I didn't do it around the cloak, but this time it felt just, plain wrong…

I knew that she could tell I was off of school grounds, at town that is. She knew I was at the lake because of my mom's one fear of drowning…Yeah, she may be a spy but her sister-in-law did drown. Sure it was on purpose, but still…that would freak anyone out…right…

"Cam, I know you're freaked by the boys, you have to stay here, remember what happen last time…" Liz walked out of the bathroom, and was telling me what to do again; she sat down on the beanbags in the corner.

To tell thee truth I had forgotten the last time for a second…

I fell asleep on a bench one day by the water and my mom sent out an entire search party, not to mention I was in seventh grade, and it was my first year and all…and maybe just maybe I showed a civilian not all Gallagher students were super rude rich kids…I think his name was Jimmy or something….

"It's not like it really matters they wiped his memory, and it only wiped the memory of my name and face and stuff, it all worked out!" I tell her defensively, I storm out of my room with the few normal books I have. I stare at the schedule, since I haven't even glanced at it yet, hence not knowing what was on it…great I had COW first…

It wouldn't have been bad if it weren't for the Andover Idiots…

I pass by the west wing, which is going to the boy's room, my life sucks that was the shortest path to our room.

I walked into class ten minutes early, and I took my normal seat since I've been going to this school. When all the girls started rushing in chatting about the boys, saying how great it was, they stopped talking about it when they saw me. They might not know about my dad but they knew I had a problem with boys just from studying me. If we were in a public school where there were cliques that never noticed anyone outside of it, no one would see me, and I would like it that way but since this was a spy school…

"Hey Cam."

"Good morning Cammie."

"Nice to see you again."

"Freak…" That was a first; normally it was kept to themselves, if they hated someone, and trust me they hated people…

I looked up and saw the culprit of the event of words, was the one, the only Anna Fetterman. The Queen of all queen bees.

She was sitting in the back with me, but on the other side of the room, but she was sitting back there for other reasons then mine, she wanted to talk to her friends. I wanted to stay invisible, even if it was impossible.

The seats near me were empty due to the fight with Bex, if you can even call it that, and no one liking me.

"Okay class, first off let's introduce you to tree of the Andover twits...I mean boys…" Mr. Smith says staring strait at me as he said twit and when the boys walked in, the boys stopped in the middle of the room and Mr. Smith walked over to his desk and sat down. Also when he was telling us this he looked like he was annoyed by the loss of class time.

Three boys where standing there. One of them was the emerald eyes, the one I feared when he found out, about his parents. The second one was a short boy, had was blond and his hair was short-ish and he had two different color eyes, a brown one and a blue one. The last boy looked the strongest of the three. He had dark hair like Emerald eyes, but it wasn't as dark. He also had ocean blue eyes.

"Well go ahead, speak!" Mr. Smith commanded.

The blond boy stepped up just a little, "Hi, I'm Jared Foster." He said, smiling.

"Okay, let's see who will be the guide," Mr. Smith pulled out the folder that held the name of all the names of the girls in the room at the time, he used the picking out of his hat thing, for all of the things he had to chose only a few people for, "Mick…Morrison." He looks up and stares Tina Walters down, 'till she moves out of the seat next to Mick so Jared could sit down.

The blue eyed dude, steps forward a little after Jared sits down.

"I'm Trevor Davis." He stands there staring at Bex, hoping for her to be the guide, I guess.

"What's the point? Just sit next to Baxter."

Trevor just smiles and starts moving because he got to chose his buddy. Then Anna stands up and declares how un-fair it was.

"Fine then…" Mr. Smith picks up the bag of names and draws.

"Courtney Baur." He says crumbling the name card, and we could tell he was lying.

Trevor's smile fades as he takes his eyes off of my friend and walks over to the seat next to where Smith pointed. The seat currently Tina was sitting, she groaned and moved again, to the front, it being the only one left besides the one next to me, so it might as well be the only seat left in the room to Tina.

Emerald eyes stayed where he was, as he was going to say his name, but before he could speak, Anna raised her hand.

"Yes, Anna…" Smith was more annoyed then me by now.

"Can you show us the name this time?" She didn't take her eyes off her new crush, Emerald eyes, when she said this; she wanted to make sure Smith didn't lie.

"Fine!" He snapped and waved his hand for Emerald eyes to speak.

"Zach…" and that was all he said.

"Do you have a last name…?" Anna shouted out.

"Zachery Goode." He stood there smirking at no one unparticular, just smirking and waiting.

Smith grabs a name and struggles to compose his face from the sullen expression that came on from reading it. He looked at me for a moment, and then turns the paper around with his head down.

I was sure that it was my name but being in the back row, I couldn't tell. Tell the front row confirmed it. The whole class including Anna looked back at me in jealousy.

Then everyone turns back to this Zach boy and after everyone had stared straight at me he could tell who I was and walked back and took the seat next to me.

He seemed totally non-effected by how no one was sitting next to me; he turned to and stuck his hand out as the class continued.

"Hey." He said, and I stared at his hand he expected me to shack, until he removed it from the air between the desk, and I turned back to the video playing on the screen as he continued staring at me, confused…
