The first thing I realised was that Macey was looking at me, her face studying me, picking up all of my reactions. My face grew hot and self-conscious. Take my advice; you NEVER want to be studied so intensely by a future-spy. It is unnerving.
"Cammie?" she whispered. I shook off the shock of seeing Zach looking at me like that.
Dr. Steve took this class, his narrow face teaching us, making me feel more like a chameleon then I had ever been. My mind was wondering, and when Dr. Steve came up in front of me and slammed his book down onto the table, and asked me a question.
"What are the three rules to do a Cove Op?"
I looked up startled and caught unaware." Um..."
He smirked, "Find out tomorrow for homework!"
I nodded, looking pale.
"Well!" Liz smiled (note to self: wipe that smile off her face), "How was that?"
"It was…" I trail off, because the only other way that it would end was pathetically.
Bex dropped her mouth to my ear, "Zach is on the other side of the courtyard. Don't look. But tail him; he looks like he is trying to avoid detection."
"Meet you guys later," I say through gritted teeth.
I don't tell him that I now just wanted to avoid Zach. I don't tell them that I just wanted to be on my own. I don't tell them anything. Rather, I just follow a (very hot looking) Blackthorne boy.
Upon following the Subject (also known as Zach), Operative Morgan learnt the following things:
The subject was trying (and failing) to be discreet
The subject met up with a girl
The subject held hands with the girl and shared the same oxygen supply
The subject must have been breaking at least 50 rules
The subject thought that he wasn't being followed
The subject had found another girlfriend
Upon learning these facts, Operative Morgan:
Cried
Sniffed
Ripped up everything to do with The Subject
Repeat first two steps again and again
"Well?" Liz and Macey attack me with questions when I get back. My eyes are streaming with tears, and my face is blotchy red. My hair is dishevelled, and I can feel mascara running down my cheek.
"He has another girlfriend." It even sounded lame to me, "A normal girl."
Macey looked at me, her jaw dropping.
"You're lying right?" Bex asked, her eyes growing wide, "You and Zach hooked up at the nearest private place and had a lovely time and…"
She trails of as I shake my head, "No." the word is more a command then real, but nothing changes, everything is normal, as it is supposed to be. Other than me.
Liz looks at me firmly, "Then why are you so upset, didn't you say that you put money into the fact that Zach probably already has another girlfriend?"
I nod, the words sticking into my throat.
"Remember how I told you about my friend Skye? Well it is her."
